The Gospel of Luke
Chapter 22


LUKE
Chapter 22


1 Now the feast of
Unleavened Bread drew
near, which is called the
Passover.
2 And the chief priests
and the scribes were
seeking how to put him to
death; for they feared the
people.













3 Then Satan entered into
Judas called Iscariot, who
was of the number of the
twelve;
4 he went away and
conferred with the chief
priests and officers how he
might betray him to them.
5 And they were glad, and
engaged to give him
money.
6 So he agreed, and
sought an opportunity to
betray him to them in the
absence of the multitude.



7 Then came the day of
Unleavened Bread, on
which the passover lamb
had to be sacrificed.
8 So Jesus sent Peter and
John, saying, "Go and
prepare the passover for
us, that we may eat it."
9 They said to him,
"Where will you have us
prepare it?"
10 He said to them,
"Behold, when you have
entered the city, a man
carrying a jar of water will
meet you; follow him into
the house which he enters,
11 and tell the
householder, 'The Teacher
says to you, Where is the
guest room, where I am to
eat the passover with my
disciples?'
12 And he will show you
a large upper room
furnished; there make
ready."
13 And they went, and
found it as he had told
them; and they prepared
the passover.


14 And when the hour
came, he sat at table, and
the apostles with him.


15 And he said to them, "I
have earnestly desired to
eat this passover with you
before I suffer;
16 for I tell you I shall not
eat it until it is fulfilled in
the kingdom of God."

17 And he took a cup, and
when he had given thanks
he said, "Take this, and
divide it among
yourselves;
18 for I tell you that from
now on I shall not drink of
the fruit of the vine until
the kingdom of God
comes."
19 And he took bread,
and when he had given
thanks he broke it and
gave it to them, saying,
"This is my body which is
given for you. Do this in
remembrance of me."
20 And likewise the cup
after supper, saying, "This
cup which is poured out
for you is the new
covenant in my blood.



21 But behold the hand
of him who betrays me is
with me on the table.
22 For the Son of man
goes as it has been
determined; but woe to
that man by whom he is
betrayed!"
23 And they began to
question one another,
which of them it was that
would do this.















24 A dispute also arose
among them, which of
them was to be regarded
as the greatest.
25 And he said to them,
"The kings of the Gentiles
exercise lordship over
them; and those in
authority over them are
called benefactors.
26 But not so with you;
rather let the greatest
among you become as the
youngest, and the leader as
one who serves.
27 For which is the
greater, one who sits at
table, or one who serves?
Is it not the one who sits at
table? But I am among you
as one who serves.








28 "You are those who
have continued with me in
my trials;
29 and I assign to you, as
my Father assigned to me,
a kingdom,
30 that you may eat and
drink at my table in my
kingdom, and sit on
thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
31 "Simon, Simon,
behold, Satan demanded to
have you, that he might sift
you like wheat,
32 but I have prayed for
you that your faith may
not fail; and when you
have turned again,
strengthen your brethren."


33 And he said to him,
"Lord, I am ready to go
with you to prison and to
death."
34 He said, "I tell you,
Peter, the cock will not
crow this day, until you
three times deny that you
know me."








35 And he said to them,
"When I sent you out with
no purse or bag or sandals,
did you lack anything?"
They said, "Nothing."
36 He said to them, "But
now, let him who has a
purse take it, and likewise
a bag. And let him who
has no sword sell his
mantle and buy one.
37 For I tell you that this
scripture must be fulfilled
in me, 'And he was
reckoned with
transgressors'; for what is
written about me has its
fulfilment."
38 And they said, "Look,
Lord, here are two
swords." And he said to
them, "It is enough."


39 And he came out, and
went, as was his custom,
to the Mount of Olives;
and the disciples followed
him.


40 And when he came to
the place he said to them,
"Pray that you may not
enter into temptation."
41 And he withdrew from
them about a stone's
throw, and knelt down and
prayed,
42 "Father, if thou art
willing, remove this cup
from me; nevertheless not
my will, but thine, be
done."
43
44
45 And when he rose
from prayer, he came to
the disciples and found
them sleeping for sorrow,
46 and he said to them,
"Why do you sleep? Rise
and pray that you may not
enter into temptation."








































47 While he was still
speaking, there came a
crowd, and the man called
Judas, one of the twelve,
was leading them. He
drew near to Jesus to kiss
him;
48 but Jesus said to him,
"Judas, would you betray
the Son of man with a
kiss?"
49 And when those who
were about him saw what
would follow, they said,
"Lord, shall we strike with
the sword?"
50 And one of them
struck the slave of the high
priest and cut off his right
ear.
51 But Jesus said, "No
more of this!" And he
touched his ear and healed
him.
52 Then Jesus said to the
chief priests and officers
of the temple and elders,
who had come out against
him, "Have you come out
as against a robber, with
swords and clubs?
53 When I was with you
day after day in the
temple, you did not lay
hands on me. But this is
your hour, and the power
of darkness."



























54 Then they seized him
and led him away,
bringing him into the high
priest's house. Peter
followed at a distance;



55 and when they had
kindled a fire in the middle
of the courtyard and sat
down together, Peter sat
among them.
56 Then a maid, seeing
him as he sat in the light
and gazing at him, said,
"This man also was with
him."
57 But he denied it,
saying, "Woman, I do not
know him."
58 And a little later some
one else saw him and said,
"You also are one of
them." But Peter said,
"Man, I am not."
59 And after an interval of
about an hour still another
insisted, saying, "Certainly
this man also was with
him; for he is a Galilean."
60 But Peter said, "Man, I
do not know what you are
saying." And immediately,
while he was still
speaking, the cock
crowed.
61 And the Lord turned
and looked at Peter. And
Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how he
had said to him, "Before
the cock crows today, you
will deny me three times."
62 And he went out and
wept bitterly.




63 Now the men who
were holding Jesus
mocked him and beat him;






64 they also blindfolded
him and asked him,
"Prophesy! Who is it that
struck you?"





65 And they spoke many
other words against him,
reviling him.


66 When day came, the
assembly of the elders of
the people gathered
together, both chief priests
and scribes; and they led
him away to their council,
and they said,




67 "If you are the Christ,
tell us." But he said to
them, "If I tell you, you
will not believe;
68 and if I ask you, you
will not answer.
69 But from now on the
Son of man shall be seated
at the right hand of the
power of God."
70 And they all said, "Are
you the Son of God,
then?" And he said to
them, "You say that I am."
71 And they said, "What
further testimony do we
need? We have heard it
ourselves from his own
lips."









MARK



Mark 14:1 It was now
two days before the
Passover and the feast of
Unleavened Bread. And
the chief priests and the
scribes were seeking how
to arrest him by stealth,
and kill him;
Mark 14:2 for they said,
"Not during the feast, lest
there be a tumult of the
people."










Mark 14:10 Then Judas
Iscariot, who was one of
the twelve, went to the
chief priests in order to
betray him to them.
Mark 14:11 And when
they heard it they were
glad, and promised to give
him money. And he sought
an opportunity to betray
him.







Mark 14:12 And on the
first day of Unleavened
Bread, when they
sacrificed the passover
lamb, his disciples said to
him, "Where will you have
us go and prepare for you
to eat the passover?"
Mark 14:13 And he sent
two of his disciples, and
said to them, "Go into the
city, and a man carrying a
jar of water will meet you;
follow him,
Mark 14:14 and wherever
he enters, say to the
householder, 'The Teacher
says, Where is my guest
room, where I am to eat
the passover with my
disciples?'
Mark 14:15 And he will
show you a large upper
room furnished and ready;
there prepare for us."
Mark 14:16 And the
disciples set out and went
to the city, and found it as
he had told them; and they
prepared the passover.



Mark 14:17 And when it
was evening he came with
the twelve.










Mark 14:22 And as they
were eating, he took bread,
and blessed, and broke it,
and gave it to them, and
said, "Take; this is my
body."
Mark 14:23 And he took
a cup, and when he had
given thanks he gave it to
them, and they all drank of
it.
Mark 14:24 And he said
to them, "This is my blood
of the covenant, which is
poured out for many.
Mark 14:25 Truly, I say
to you, I shall not drink
again of the fruit of the
vine until that day when I
drink it new in the
kingdom of God."




Mark 14:18 And as they
were at table eating, Jesus
said, "Truly, I say to you,
one of you will betray me,
one who is eating with
me."
Mark 14:19 They began
to be sorrowful, and to say
to him one after another,
"Is it I?"
Mark 14:20 He said to
them, "It is one of the
twelve, one who is dipping
bread into the dish with
me.
Mark 14:21 For the Son
of man goes as it is written
of him, but woe to that
man by whom the Son of
man is betrayed! It would
have been better for that
man if he had not been
born."



Mark 9:34 But they were
silent; for on the way they
had discussed with one
another who was the
greatest.
Mark 10:42 And Jesus
called them to him and
said to them, "You know
that those who are
supposed to rule over the
Gentiles lord it over them,
and their great men
exercise authority over
them.
Mark 10:43 But it shall
not be so among you; but
whoever would be great
among you must be your
servant,
Mark 10:44 and whoever
would be first among you
must be slave of all.
Mark 10:45 For the Son
of man also came not to be
served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom
for many."

























Mark 14:29 Peter said to
him, "Even though they all
fall away, I will not."
Mark 14:30 And Jesus
said to him, "Truly, I say
to you, this very night,
before the cock crows
twice, you will deny me
three times."
Mark 14:31 But he said
vehemently, "If I must die
with you, I will not deny
you." And they all said the
same.




























Mark 14:26 And when
they had sung a hymn,
they went out to the Mount
of Olives.



Mark 14:32 And they
went to a place which was
called Gethsemane; and he
said to his disciples, "Sit
here, while I pray."
Mark 14:33 And he took
with him Peter and James
and John, and began to be
greatly distressed and
troubled.
Mark 14:34 And he said
to them, "My soul is very
sorrowful, even to death;
remain here, and watch."
Mark 14:35 And going a
little farther, he fell on the
ground and prayed that, if
it were possible, the hour
might pass from him.
Mark 14:36 And he said,
"Abba, Father, all things
are possible to thee;
remove this cup from me;
yet not what I will, but
what thou wilt."
Mark 14:37 And he came
and found them sleeping,
and he said to Peter,
"Simon, are you asleep?
Could you not watch one
hour?
Mark 14:38 Watch and
pray that you may not
enter into temptation; the
spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak."
Mark 14:39 And again he
went away and prayed,
saying the same words.
Mark 14:40 And again he
came and found them
sleeping, for their eyes
were very heavy; and they
did not know what to
answer him.
Mark 14:41 And he came
the third time, and said to
them, "Are you still
sleeping and taking your
rest? It is enough; the hour
has come; the Son of man
is betrayed into the hands
of sinners.
Mark 14:42 Rise, let us
be going; see, my betrayer
is at hand."






Mark 14:43 And
immediately, while he was
still speaking, Judas came,
one of the twelve, and with
him a crowd with swords
and clubs, from the chief
priests and the scribes and
the elders.
Mark 14:44 Now the
betrayer had given them a
sign, saying, "The one I
shall kiss is the man; seize
him and lead him away
under guard."
Mark 14:45 And when he
came, he went up to him at
once, and said, "Master!"
And he kissed him.
Mark 14:46 And they laid
hands on him and seized
him.
Mark 14:47 But one of
those who stood by drew
his sword, and struck the
slave of the high priest and
cut off his ear.
Mark 14:48 And Jesus
said to them, "Have you
come out as against a
robber, with swords and
clubs to capture me?
Mark 14:49 Day after day
I was with you in the
temple teaching, and you
did not seize me. But let
the scriptures be fulfilled."
Mark 14:50 And they all
forsook him, and fled.


























Mark 14:53 And they led
Jesus to the high priest;
and all the chief priests
and the elders and the
scribes were assembled.



Mark 14:66 And as Peter
was below in the
courtyard, one of the
maids of the high priest
came;
Mark 14:67 and seeing
Peter warming himself,
she looked at him, and
said, "You also were with
the Nazarene, Jesus."
Mark 14:68 But he denied
it, saying, "I neither know
nor understand what you
mean." And he went out
into the gateway.
Mark 14:69 And the maid
saw him, and began again
to say to the bystanders,
"This man is one of them."
Mark 14:70 But again he
denied it. And after a little
while again the bystanders
said to Peter, "Certainly
you are one of them; for
you are a Galilean."
Mark 14:71 But he began
to invoke a curse on
himself and to swear, "I do
not know this man of
whom you speak."
Mark 14:72 And
immediately the cock
crowed a second time.
And Peter remembered
how Jesus had said to him,
"Before the cock crows
twice, you will deny me
three times." And he broke
down and wept.



Mark 14:65 And some
began to spit on him, and
to cover his face, and to
strike him, saying to him,
"Prophesy!" And the
guards received him with
blows.


Mark 14:65 And some
began to spit on him, and
to cover his face, and to
strike him, saying to him,
"Prophesy!" And the
guards received him with
blows.







Mark 15:1 And as soon
as it was morning the chief
priests, with the elders and
scribes, and the whole
council held a
consultation; and they
bound Jesus and led him
away and delivered him to
Pilate.


Mark 14:61 But he was
silent and made no answer.
Again the high priest asked
him, "Are you the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed?"
Mark 14:62 And Jesus
said, "I am; and you will
see the Son of man seated
at the right hand of Power,
and coming with the
clouds of heaven."
Mark 14:63 And the high
priest tore his garments,
and said, "Why do we still
need witnesses?













MATTHEW



Matthew 26:2 "You know
that after two days the
Passover is coming, and
the Son of man will be
delivered up to be
crucified."
Matthew 26:3 Then the
chief priests and the elders
of the people gathered in
the palace of the high
priest, who was called
Caiaphas,
Matthew 26:4 and took
counsel together in order
to arrest Jesus by stealth
and kill him.
Matthew 26:5 But they
said, "Not during the feast,
lest there be a tumult
among the people."


Matthew 26:14 Then one
of the twelve, who was
called Judas Iscariot, went
to the chief priests
Matthew 26:15 and said,
"What will you give me if
I deliver him to you?" And
they paid him thirty pieces
of silver.
Matthew 26:16 And from
that moment he sought an
opportunity to betray him.






Matthew 26:17 Now on
the first day of Unleavened
Bread the disciples came
to Jesus, saying, "Where
will you have us prepare
for you to eat the
passover?"
Matthew 26:18 He said,
"Go into the city to a
certain one, and say to
him, 'The Teacher says,
My time is at hand; I will
keep the passover at your
house with my disciples.'"
Matthew 26:19 And the
disciples did as Jesus had
directed them, and they
prepared the passover.















Matthew 26:20 When it
was evening, he sat at
table with the twelve
disciples;









Matthew 26:26 Now as
they were eating, Jesus
took bread, and blessed,
and broke it, and gave it to
the disciples and said,
"Take, eat; this is my
body."
Matthew 26:27 And he
took a cup, and when he
had given thanks he gave it
to them, saying, "Drink of
it, all of you;
Matthew 26:28 for this is
my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for
many for the forgiveness
of sins.
Matthew 26:29 I tell you I
shall not drink again of this
fruit of the vine until that
day when I drink it new
with you in my Father's
kingdom."


Matthew 26:21 and as
they were eating, he said,
"Truly, I say to you, one
of you will betray me."
Matthew 26:22 And they
were very sorrowful, and
began to say to him one
after another, "Is it I,
Lord?"
Matthew 26:23 He
answered, "He who has
dipped his hand in the dish
with me, will betray me.
Matthew 26:24 The Son
of man goes as it is written
of him, but woe to that
man by whom the Son of
man is betrayed! It would
have been better for that
man if he had not been
born."









Matthew 20:25 But Jesus
called them to him and
said, "You know that the
rulers of the Gentiles lord
it over them, and their
great men exercise
authority over them.
Matthew 20:26 It shall not
be so among you; but
whoever would be great
among you must be your
servant,
Matthew 20:27 and
whoever would be first
among you must be your
slave;
Matthew 20:28 even as
the Son of man came not
to be served but to serve,
and to give his life as a
ransom for many."



























Matthew 26:33 Peter
declared to him, "Though
they all fall away because
of you, I will never fall
away."
Matthew 26:34 Jesus said
to him, "Truly, I say to
you, this very night, before
the cock crows, you will
deny me three times."
Matthew 26:35 Peter said
to him, "Even if I must die
with you, I will not deny
you." And so said all the
disciples.



























Matthew 26:30 And when
they had sung a hymn,
they went out to the Mount
of Olives.



Matthew 26:36 Then
Jesus went with them to a
place called Gethsemane,
and he said to his
disciples, "Sit here, while I
go yonder and pray."
Matthew 26:37 And
taking with him Peter and
the two sons of Zebedee,
he began to be sorrowful
and troubled.
Matthew 26:38 Then he
said to them, "My soul is
very sorrowful, even to
death; remain here, and
watch with me."
Matthew 26:39 And going
a little farther he fell on his
face and prayed, "My
Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from me;
nevertheless, not as I will,
but as thou wilt."
Matthew 26:40 And he
came to the disciples and
found them sleeping; and
he said to Peter, "So,
could you not watch with
me one hour?
Matthew 26:41 Watch
and pray that you may not
enter into temptation; the
spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak."
Matthew 26:42 Again, for
the second time, he went
away and prayed, "My
Father, if this cannot pass
unless I drink it, thy will
be done."
Matthew 26:43 And again
he came and found them
sleeping, for their eyes
were heavy.
Matthew 26:44 So,
leaving them again, he
went away and prayed for
the third time, saying the
same words.
Matthew 26:45 Then he
came to the disciples and
said to them, "Are you still
sleeping and taking your
rest? Behold, the hour is at
hand, and the Son of man
is betrayed into the hands
of sinners.
Matthew 26:46 Rise, let
us be going; see, my
betrayer is at hand."


Matthew 26:47 While he
was still speaking, Judas
came, one of the twelve,
and with him a great
crowd with swords and
clubs, from the chief
priests and the elders of
the people.
Matthew 26:48 Now the
betrayer had given them a
sign, saying, "The one I
shall kiss is the man; seize
him."
Matthew 26:49 And he
came up to Jesus at once
and said, "Hail, Master!"
And he kissed him.
Matthew 26:50 Jesus said
to him, "Friend, why are
you here?" Then they
came up and laid hands on
Jesus and seized him.
Matthew 26:51 And
behold, one of those who
were with Jesus stretched
out his hand and drew his
sword, and struck the slave
of the high priest, and cut
off his ear.
Matthew 26:52 Then
Jesus said to him, "Put
your sword back into its
place; for all who take the
sword will perish by the
sword.
Matthew 26:53 Do you
think that I cannot appeal
to my Father, and he will
at once send me more than
twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54 But how
then should the scriptures
be fulfilled, that it must be
so?"
Matthew 26:55 At that
hour Jesus said to the
crowds, "Have you come
out as against a robber,
with swords and clubs to
capture me? Day after day
I sat in the temple
teaching, and you did not
seize me.
Matthew 26:56 But all
this has taken place, that
the scriptures of the
prophets might be
fulfilled." Then all the
disciples forsook him and
fled.



Matthew 26:57 Then
those who had seized
Jesus led him to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the
scribes and the elders had
gathered.


Matthew 26:69 Now
Peter was sitting outside in
the courtyard. And a maid
came up to him, and said,
"You also were with Jesus
the Galilean."
Matthew 26:70 But he
denied it before them all,
saying, "I do not know
what you mean."
Matthew 26:71 And when
he went out to the porch,
another maid saw him, and
she said to the bystanders,
"This man was with Jesus
of Nazareth."
Matthew 26:72 And again
he denied it with an oath,
"I do not know the man."
Matthew 26:73 After a
little while the bystanders
came up and said to Peter,
"Certainly you are also
one of them, for your
accent betrays you."
Matthew 26:74 Then he
began to invoke a curse on
himself and to swear, "I do
not know the man." And
immediately the cock
crowed.
Matthew 26:75 And Peter
remembered the saying of
Jesus, "Before the cock
crows, you will deny me
three times." And he went
out and wept bitterly.





Matthew 26:67 Then they
spat in his face, and struck
him; and some slapped
him,





Matthew 26:68 saying,
"Prophesy to us, you
Christ! Who is it that
struck you?"





Matthew 27:39 And those
who passed by derided
him, wagging their heads


Matthew 27:1 When
morning came, all the
chief priests and the elders
of the people took counsel
against Jesus to put him to
death;





Matthew 26:63 But Jesus
was silent. And the high
priest said to him, "I
adjure you by the living
God, tell us if you are the
Christ, the Son of God."
Matthew 26:64 Jesus said
to him, "You have said so.
But I tell you, hereafter
you will see the Son of
man seated at the right
hand of Power, and
coming on the clouds of
heaven."
Matthew 26:65 Then the
high priest tore his robes,
and said, "He has uttered
blasphemy. Why do we
still need witnesses? You
have now heard his
blasphemy.
Matthew 26:66 What is
your judgment?" They
answered, "He deserves
death."
