Luke 22

The Last Supper and the Institution of the Lord's Supper

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh , which is called the Passover . ²And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people . ³And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot , being of the number of the twelve . ⁴And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains , how he might deliver him unto them . ⁵And they were glad , and covenanted to give him money. ⁶And he consented , and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude .

The Last Supper and the Institution of the Lord's Supper

⁷And the day of unleavened bread came , on which the passover must be sacrificed . ⁸And he sent Peter and John , saying , Go and make ready for us the passover , that we may eat . ⁹And they said unto him , Where wilt thou that we make ready ? ¹⁰And he said unto them , Behold , when ye are entered into the city , there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water ; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth . ¹¹And ye shall say unto the master of the house , The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples ? ¹²And he will show you a large upper room furnished : there make ready . ¹³And they went , and found as he had said unto them : and they made ready the passover . ¹⁴And when the hour was come , he sat down, and the apostles with him . ¹⁵And he said unto them , With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer : ¹⁶for I say unto you , I shall not eat it , until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God . ¹⁷And he received a cup , and when he had given thanks , he said , Take this , and divide it among yourselves : ¹⁸for I say unto you , I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come . ¹⁹And he took bread, and when he had given thanks , he brake it , and gave to them , saying , This is my body which is given for you : this do in remembrance of me . ²⁰And the cup in like manner after supper , saying , This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you . ²¹But behold , the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table . ²²For the Son of man indeed goeth , as it hath been determined : but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed ! ²³And they began to question among themselves , which of them it was that should do this thing .

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

²⁴And there arose also a contention among them , which of them was accounted to be greatest . ²⁵And he said unto them , The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them ; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors . ²⁶But ye shall not be so : but he that is the greater among you , let him become as the younger ; and he that is chief , as he that doth serve . ²⁷For which is greater , he that sitteth at meat , or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat ? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth . ²⁸But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations ; ²⁹and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me , ³⁰that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel . ³¹Simon , Simon , behold , Satan asked to have you , that he might sift you as wheat : ³²but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not ; and do thou , when once thou hast turned again , establish thy brethren . ³³And he said unto 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 this day , until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me .

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

³⁵And he said unto them , When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes , lacked ye anything ? And they said , Nothing . ³⁶And he said unto them , But now , he that hath a purse, let him take it , and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none , let him sell his cloak , and buy a sword . ³⁷For I say unto you , that this which is written must be fulfilled in me , And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment. ³⁸And they said , Lord , behold , here are two swords . And he said unto them , It is enough . ³⁹And he came out , and went , as his custom was , unto the mount of Olives ; and the disciples also followed him . ⁴⁰And when he was at the place , he said unto them , Pray that ye enter not into temptation . ⁴¹And he was parted from them about a stone ’s cast ; and he kneeled down and prayed , ⁴²saying , Father , if thou be willing , remove this cup from me : nevertheless not my will , but thine , be done . ⁴³And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven , strengthening him . ⁴⁴And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly ; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground . ⁴⁵And when he rose up from his prayer , he came unto the disciples , and found them sleeping for sorrow , ⁴⁶and said unto them , Why sleep ye ? rise and pray , that ye enter not into temptation .

Jesus' Arrest

⁴⁷While he yet spake , behold , a multitude , and he that was called Judas , one of the twelve , went before them ; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him . ⁴⁸But Jesus said unto him , Judas , betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss ? ⁴⁹And when they that were about him saw what would follow , they said , Lord , shall we smite with the sword ? ⁵⁰And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear . ⁵¹But Jesus answered and said , Suffer ye them thus far . And he touched his ear , and healed him . ⁵²And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple , and elders , that were come against him , Are ye come out , as against a robber , with swords and staves ? ⁵³When I was daily with you in the temple , ye stretched not forth your hands against me : but this is your hour , and the power of darkness .

Jesus Before the Council

⁵⁴And they seized him , and led him away , and brought him into the high priest’s house . But Peter followed afar off . ⁵⁵And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together , Peter sat in the midst of them . ⁵⁶And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire , and looking stedfastly upon him , said , This man also was with him . ⁵⁷But he denied, saying , Woman , I know him not . ⁵⁸And after a little while another saw him , and said , Thou also art one of them . But Peter said , Man , I am not . ⁵⁹And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed , saying , Of a truth this man also was with him ; for he is a Galilæan . ⁶⁰But Peter said , Man , I know not what thou sayest . And immediately , while he yet spake , the cock crew . ⁶¹And the Lord turned , and looked upon Peter . And Peter remembered the word of the Lord , how that he said unto him , Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice . ⁶²And he went out , and wept bitterly . ⁶³And the men that held Jesus mocked him , and beat him . ⁶⁴And they blindfolded him , and asked him , saying , Prophesy : who is he that struck thee? ⁶⁵And many other things spake they against him , reviling him . ⁶⁶And as soon as it was day , the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together , both chief priests and scribes ; and they led him away into their council , saying , ⁶⁷If thou art the Christ , tell us . But he said unto them , If I tell you , ye will not believe : ⁶⁸and if I ask you , ye will not answer. ⁶⁹But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God . ⁷⁰And they all said , Art thou then the Son of God ? And he said unto them , Ye say that I am . ⁷¹And they said , What further need have we of witness ? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth .
