Luke [White-light] 22:1-49

¹Now the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·, also called the Pesac ·Passover·, was approaching.

²The chief priests and the Torah-Teachers sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

³Satan Adversary entered into Judas Praised, who was also called Iscariot Dagger-man, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷The day of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· came (Nissan 14), on which the Pesac ·Passover· lamb must be sacrificed.

⁸He sent Peter Rock and John Yah is gracious, saying, “Go and prepare our Seder ·Order / Passover meal·, that we may eat.”

⁹They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰He 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.

¹¹Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Pesac ·Passover· meal with my disciples?”’

¹²He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Seder · Order / Passover meal·.

¹⁴When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵He said to them, “I have earnestly epithumia ·coveted, desired· to eat this Seder · Order / Passover meal· with you before I suffer and die!

¹⁶For I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

¹⁷He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

¹⁹He took matzah ·unleavened bread·, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰Likewise, he took the (third) cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²²The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is not it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹I confer on you a kingdom, even as 'Avi ·my Father· conferred on me,

³⁰that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel God prevails.”

³¹The Lord said, “Simeon Hearing, Simeon Hearing, behold, Satan Adversary asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³²but I prayed for you, that your trusting faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

³³He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴He said, “I tell you, Peter Rock, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

³⁸They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴²saying, “ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas Praised, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua Salvation to phileo · show affectionate love, show approval, kiss· him.

⁴⁸But Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Judas Praised, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

⁴⁹When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
