Luke 22

1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.

2And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.

3And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

4And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.

5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

6And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.

7And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.

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

9But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?

12And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.

13And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.

14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

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

16For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:

18For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.

19And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

20In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

21But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.

23And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.

25And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.

26But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.

27For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:

28And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:

29And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;

30That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

33Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

34And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:

35When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?

36But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.

37For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.

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

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

40And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

41And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,

42Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.

43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.

44And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.

46And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.

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

48And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

49And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

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

51But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?

53When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.

55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.

56Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.

57But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.

58And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.

59And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.

60And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

61And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

62And Peter going out, wept bitterly.

63And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.

64And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

65And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.

66And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.

67And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.

68And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.

69But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

70Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.

71And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.

1Appropinquabat autem dies festus azymorum, qui dicitur Pascha:

2et quærebant principes sacerdotum, et scribæ, quomodo Jesum interficerent: timebant vero plebem.

3Intravit autem Satanas in Judam, qui cognominabatur Iscariotes, unum de duodecim:

4et abiit, et locutus est cum principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, quemadmodum illum traderet eis.

5Et gavisi sunt, et pacti sunt pecuniam illi dare.

6Et spopondit, et quærebat opportunitatem ut traderet illum sine turbis.

7Venit autem dies azymorum, in qua necesse erat occidi pascha.

8Et misit Petrum et Joannem, dicens: Euntes parate nobis pascha, ut manducemus.

9At illi dixerunt: Ubi vis paremus?

10Et dixit ad eos: Ecce introëuntibus vobis in civitatem occurret vobis homo quidam amphoram aquæ portans: sequimini eum in domum, in quam intrat,

11et dicetis patrifamilias domus: Dicit tibi Magister: Ubi est diversorium, ubi pascha cum discipulis meis manducem?

12Et ipse ostendet vobis cœnaculum magnum stratum, et ibi parate.

13Euntes autem invenerunt sicut dixit illis, et paraverunt pascha.

14Et cum facta esset hora, discubuit, et duodecim apostoli cum eo.

15Et ait illis: Desiderio desideravi hoc pascha manducare vobiscum, antequam patiar.

16Dico enim vobis, quia ex hoc non manducabo illud, donec impleatur in regno Dei.

17Et accepto calice gratias egit, et dixit: Accipite, et dividite inter vos.

18Dico enim vobis quod non bibam de generatione vitis donec regnum Dei veniat.

19Et accepto pane gratias egit, et fregit, et dedit eis, dicens: Hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis datur: hoc facite in meam commemorationem.

20Similiter et calicem, postquam cœnavit, dicens: Hic est calix novum testamentum in sanguine meo, qui pro vobis fundetur.

21Verumtamen ecce manus tradentis me, mecum est in mensa.

22Et quidem Filius hominis, secundum quod definitum est, vadit: verumtamen væ homini illi per quem tradetur.

23Et ipsi cœperunt quærere inter se quis esset ex eis qui hoc facturus esset.

24Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major.

25Dixit autem eis: Reges gentium dominantur eorum: et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur.

26Vos autem non sic: sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor: et qui præcessor est, sicut ministrator.

27Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat:

28vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis.

29Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum,

30ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israël.

31Ait autem Dominus: Simon, Simon, ecce Satanas expetivit vos ut cribraret sicut triticum:

32ego autem rogavi pro te ut non deficiat fides tua: et tu aliquando conversus, confirma fratres tuos.

33Qui dixit ei: Domine, tecum paratus sum et in carcerem et in mortem ire.

34At ille dixit: Dico tibi, Petre, non cantabit hodie gallus, donec ter abneges nosse me. Et dixit eis:

35Quando misi vos sine sacculo, et pera, et calceamentis, numquid aliquid defuit vobis?

36At illi dixerunt: Nihil. Dixit ergo eis: Sed nunc qui habet sacculum, tollat; similiter et peram: et qui non habet, vendat tunicam suam et emat gladium.

37Dico enim vobis, quoniam adhuc hoc quod scriptum est, oportet impleri in me: Et cum iniquis deputatus est. Etenim ea quæ sunt de me finem habent.

38At illi dixerunt: Domine, ecce duo gladii hic. At ille dixit eis: Satis est.

39Et egressus ibat secundum consuetudinem in monte Olivarum. Secuti sunt autem illum et discipuli.

40Et cum pervenisset ad locum, dixit illis: Orate ne intretis in tentationem.

41Et ipse avulsus est ab eis quantum jactus est lapidis: et positis genibus orabat,

42dicens: Pater, si vis, transfer calicem istum a me: verumtamen non mea voluntas, sed tua fiat.

43Apparuit autem illi angelus de cælo, confortans eum. Et factus in agonia, prolixius orabat.

44Et factus est sudor ejus sicut guttæ sanguinis decurrentis in terram.

45Et cum surrexisset ab oratione et venisset ad discipulos suos, invenit eos dormientes præ tristitia.

46Et ait illis: Quid dormitis? surgite, orate, ne intretis in tentationem.

47Adhuc eo loquente, ecce turba: et qui vocabatur Judas, unus de duodecim, antecedebat eos, et appropinquavit Jesu ut oscularetur eum.

48Jesus autem dixit illi: Juda, osculo Filium hominis tradis?

49Videntes autem hi qui circa ipsum erant, quod futurum erat, dixerunt ei: Domine, si percutimus in gladio?

50Et percussit unus ex illis servum principis sacerdotum, et amputavit auriculam ejus dexteram.

51Respondens autem Jesus, ait: Sinite usque huc. Et cum tetigisset auriculam ejus, sanavit eum.

52Dixit autem Jesus ad eos qui venerant ad se principes sacerdotum, et magistratus templi, et seniores: Quasi ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus?

53Cum quotidie vobiscum fuerim in templo, non extendistis manus in me: sed hæc est hora vestra, et potestas tenebrarum.

54Comprehendentes autem eum, duxerunt ad domum principis sacerdotum: Petrus vero sequebatur a longe.

55Accenso autem igne in medio atrii et circumsedentibus illis, erat Petrus in medio eorum.

56Quem cum vidisset ancilla quædam sedentem ad lumen, et eum fuisset intuita, dixit: Et hic cum illo erat.

57At ille negavit eum, dicens: Mulier, non novi illum.

58Et post pusillum alius videns eum, dixit: Et tu de illis es. Petrus vero ait: O homo, non sum.

59Et intervallo facto quasi horæ unius, alius quidam affirmabat, dicens: Vere et hic cum illo erat: nam et Galilæus est.

60Et ait Petrus: Homo, nescio quid dicis. Et continuo, adhuc illo loquente, cantavit gallus.

61Et conversus Dominus respexit Petrum, et recordatus est Petrus verbi Domini, sicut dixerat: Quia priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.

62Et egressus foras Petrus flevit amare.

63Et viri qui tenebant illum, illudebant ei, cædentes.

64Et velaverunt eum, et percutiebant faciem ejus: et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Prophetiza, quis est, qui te percussit?

65Et alia multa blasphemantes dicebant in eum.

66Et ut factus est dies, convenerunt seniores plebis, et principes sacerdotum, et scribæ, et duxerunt illum in concilium suum, dicentes: Si tu es Christus, dic nobis.

67Et ait illis: Si vobis dixero, non credetis mihi:

68si autem et interrogavero, non respondebitis mihi, neque dimittetis.

69Ex hoc autem erit Filius hominis sedens a dextris virtutis Dei.

70Dixerunt autem omnes: Tu ergo es Filius Dei? Qui ait: Vos dicitis, quia ego sum.

71At illi dixerunt: Quid adhuc desideramus testimonium? ipsi enim audivimus de ore ejus.

1Now the days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, were approaching.

2And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a way to execute Jesus. Yet truly, they were afraid of the people.

3Then Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

4And he went out and was speaking with the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, as to how he might hand him over to them.

5And they were glad, and so they made an agreement to give him money.

6And he made a promise. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over, apart from the crowds.

7Then the day of Unleavened Bread arrived, on which it was necessary to kill the Pascal lamb.

8And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go out, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat.”

9But they said, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”

10And he said to them: “Behold, as you are entering into the city, a certain man will meet you, carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters.

11And you shall say to the father of the household: ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

12And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And so, prepare it there.”

13And going out, they found it to be just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.

15And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.

16For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.

18For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”

19And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”

20Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.

21But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.

22And indeed, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. And yet, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”

23And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.

24Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.

25And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.

26But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.

27For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.

28But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.

29And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,

30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

31And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.

32But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”

33And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”

34And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,

35“When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”

36And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.

37For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”

38So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”

39And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.

40And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

41And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,

42saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”

43Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;

44and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.

45And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.

46And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

47While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.

48And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”

49Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

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

51But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?

53When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”

54And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.

55Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.

56And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”

57But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”

58And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”

59And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: “Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”

60And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

62And going out, Peter wept bitterly.

63And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.

64And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”

65And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.

66And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”

67And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.

68And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.

69But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”

71And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
