Luke [White-light] 22:14-60

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?”

⁵⁰A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Yeshua Salvation answered, “Let me at least do this”— and he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵²Yeshua Salvation 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?

⁵³When 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.”

⁵⁴They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter Rock followed from a distance.

⁵⁵When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter Rock sat among them.

⁵⁶A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

⁵⁷He denied Yeshua Salvation, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

⁵⁸After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter Rock answered, “Man, I am not!”

⁵⁹After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

⁶⁰But Peter Rock said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
