Luke 22:7-54

⁷And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it.

⁹But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it?

¹⁰And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹²And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table;

²²and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²³And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

²⁴And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be the greatest.

²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶But ye shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

²⁷For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁸But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁹And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

³⁰that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat;

³²but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

³³And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

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

³⁶He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take it, in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

³⁷for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

⁴²saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

⁴⁴And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

⁴⁵And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁶And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵⁰And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

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

⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

⁵³When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
