Book 42 Luke Chapter 022


022:001	Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
022:002	And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
022:003	Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
022:004	And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
022:005	And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
022:006	And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
022:007	Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
022:008	And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
022:009	And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
022:010	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.
022:011	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?
022:012	And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
022:013	And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
022:014	And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
022:015	And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
022:016	For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
022:017	And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
022:018	For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
022:019	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.
022:020	Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
022:021	But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
022:022	And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
022:023	And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
022:024	And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
022:025	And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
022:026	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.
022:027	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.
022:028	Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
022:029	And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
022:030	That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
022:031	And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
022:032	But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
022:033	And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
022:034	And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
022:035	And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
022:036	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.
022:037	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.
022:038	And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
022:039	And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
022:040	And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
022:041	And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
022:042	Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
022:043	And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
022:044	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.
022:045	And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
022:046	And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
022:047	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.
022:048	But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
022:049	When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
022:050	And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
022:051	And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
022:052	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?
022:053	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.
022:054	Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
022:055	And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
022:056	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.
022:057	And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
022:058	And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
022:059	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 Galilaean.
022:060	And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
022:061	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.
022:062	And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
022:063	And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
022:064	And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
022:065	And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
022:066	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,
022:067	Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
022:068	And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
022:069	Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
022:070	Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
022:071	And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
