The Gospel According to St. Luke

World English Bible Catholic :: King James Version

- Chapter 22 -

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)
1
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
2
The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)
3
Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
4
He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6
He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)
7
The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
8
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9
They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
10
He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
11
Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
12
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
13
They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
14
When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
15
He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
16
for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
17
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,
18
for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
19
He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”
20
Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21
But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22
The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
23
They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

Who Is the Greatest?

24
A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25
He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
26
But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28
“But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
30
that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38)
31
The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
32
but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.” (a)
33
He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34
He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
35
He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
36
Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ (b) For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”
38
They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)
39
He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
40
When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
41
He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42
saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
43
An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
46
and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)
47
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
48
But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49
When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50
A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51
But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
52
Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15–18)
54
They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56
A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
57
He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
58
After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
59
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
60
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lords word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
62
He went out, and wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; John 19:1–15)
63
The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
64
Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
65
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)
66
As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67
If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,
68
and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
69
From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70
They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
71
They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)
1
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)
3
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)
7
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9
And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12
And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
14
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16
For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23
And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Who Is the Greatest?

24
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38)
31
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)
39
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46
And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)
47
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51
And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
52
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
53
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15–18)
54
Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
55
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
56
But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
57
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59
And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilean.
60
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; John 19:1–15)
63
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
64
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65
And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)
66
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
67
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68
And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69
Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70
Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71
And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
