# Luke 22

*Judas betrayeth Christ Institution of the Lord's supper Christ's agony His ar rest Peter denies him.*

**1** Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the passover.
**2** And the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might kill him; but they feared the people.
**3** Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
**4** And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and the captains, how he might betray him unto them.
**5** And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
**6** And he promised them, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
**7** Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
**8** And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go, and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
**9** And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare.
**10** And he said unto them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
**11** And ye shall say unto the good man of the house, The Master saith unto you, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
**12** And he shall show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.
**13** And they went, and found as he had said unto them; and they made ready the passover.
**14** And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
**15** And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer;
**16** For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled which is written in the prophets concerning me. Then I will partake with you, in the kingdom of God.
**17** And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this and divide among yourselves;
**18** For I say unto you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
**19** And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.
**20** Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you.
**21** But behold, the hand of him who betrayeth me is with me on the table.
**22** And truly the Son of Man goeth as it was determined; but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed.
**23** And they began to inquire among themselves, Who of them it was who should do this thing.
**24** There was also a strife among them, who of them should be accounted the greatest.
**25** And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they who exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
**26** But it ought not to be so with you; but he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he who is chief, as he who doth serve.
**27** For whether is he greater, who sitteth at meat, or he who serveth? I am not as he who sitteth at meat, but I am among you as he who serveth.
**28** Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations;
**29** And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
**30** That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
**31** And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired you, that he may sift the children of the kingdom as wheat.
**32** But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not; and when you are converted strengthen your brethren.
**33** And he said unto him, being aggrieved, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and unto death.
**34** And the Lord said, I tell you, Peter, that the cock shall not crow this day, before that you will thrice deny that you know me.
**35** And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse and scrip, or shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said. Nothing.
**36** Then said he unto them, I say unto you again, He who hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he who hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
**37** For I say unto you, This that is written must be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors; for the things concerning me have an end.
**38** And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
**39** And he came out, and went, as he was accustomed, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him.
**40** And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
**41** And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down and prayed,
**42** Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
**43** And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
**44** And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly; and he sweat as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
**45** And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping; for they were filled with sorrow;
**46** And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
**47** And while he yet spoke, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
**48** But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?
**49** When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
**50** And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
**51** And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him.
**52** Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who were come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves?
**53** When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hand against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
**54** Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house; and Peter followed afar off.
**55** And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
**56** 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.
**57** And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
**58** And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
**59** And about the space of one hour, another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is a Galilean.
**60** And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
**61** And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
**62** And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
**63** And the men who held Jesus, mocked him, and smote him.
**64** And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophecy, who is it who smote thee?
**65** And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
**66** 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,
**67** Saying, Art thou the Christ? Tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe.
**68** And if I also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
**69** Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
**70** Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
**71** And they said, What need ye any further witness? For we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
