Luke 22:34-71

³⁴and he said, 'I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

³⁵And he said to them, 'When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, 'Nothing.'

³⁶Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take it up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

³⁷for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'

³⁸And they said, 'Sir, lo, here are two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.'

³⁹And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

⁴⁰and having come to the place, he said to them, 'Pray ye not to enter into temptation.'

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

⁴²saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me — ;but, not my will, but Thine be done.' —

⁴³And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

⁴⁴and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁴⁵And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶and he said to them, 'Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'

⁴⁷And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,

⁴⁸and Jesus said to him, 'Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'

⁴⁹And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'

⁵⁰And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,

⁵¹and Jesus answering said, 'Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵²And Jesus said to those having come upon him — chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders — 'As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?

⁵³while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

⁵⁴And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,

⁵⁵and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

⁵⁶and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'

⁵⁷and he disowned him, saying, 'Woman, I have not known him.'

⁵⁸And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.'

⁵⁹And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'

⁶⁰and Peter said, 'Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

⁶¹And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him — 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'

⁶²and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

⁶³And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him;

⁶⁴and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, 'Prophesy who he is who smote thee?'

⁶⁵and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.

⁶⁶And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,

⁶⁷saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

⁶⁸and if I also question you, ye will not answer me or send me away;

⁶⁹henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.'

⁷⁰And they all said, 'Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, 'Ye say it, because I am;'

⁷¹and they said, 'What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear it from his mouth.'
