Preparing the Passover

(Mat 26:1–5, 14–16; Mar 14:1, 2, 10, 11; Jhn 11:45–53 )

Luk 22:1

Luk 22:1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

Luk 22:2

Luk 22:2And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.

Luk 22:3

Luk 22:3And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

Luk 22:4

Luk 22:4And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.

Luk 22:5

Luk 22:5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

Luk 22:6

Luk 22:6And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Luk 22:7

Luk 22:7And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

Luk 22:8

Luk 22:8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.

Luk 22:9

Luk 22:9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?

Luk 22:10

Luk 22:10And 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.

Luk 22:11

Luk 22:11And 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?

Luk 22:12

Luk 22:12And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

Luk 22:13

Luk 22:13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

The Lord's Supper

Luk 22:14

Luk 22:14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

Luk 22:15

Luk 22:15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Luk 22:16

Luk 22:16for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Luk 22:17

Luk 22:17And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

Luk 22:18

Luk 22:18for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

Luk 22:19

Luk 22:19And 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.

Luk 22:20

Luk 22:20And 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.

Luk 22:21

Luk 22:21But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

Luk 22:22

Luk 22:22For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

Luk 22:23

Luk 22:23And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Who Is Greatest

Luk 22:24

Luk 22:24And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.

Luk 22:25

Luk 22:25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.

Luk 22:26

Luk 22:26But 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.

Luk 22:27

Luk 22:27For 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.

Luk 22:28

Luk 22:28But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

Luk 22:29

Luk 22:29and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

Luk 22:30

Luk 22:30that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

(Mat 26:31–35; Mar 14:27–31; Jhn 13:36–38 )

Luk 22:31

Luk 22:31Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

Luk 22:32

Luk 22:32but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

Luk 22:33

Luk 22:33And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

Luk 22:34

Luk 22:34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

Luk 22:35

Luk 22:35And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

Luk 22:36

Luk 22:36And 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.

Luk 22:37

Luk 22:37For 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.

Luk 22:38

Luk 22:38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Luk 22:41

Luk 22:41And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

Luk 22:42

Luk 22:42saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Luk 22:43

Luk 22:43And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

Luk 22:44

Luk 22:44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

Luk 22:45

Luk 22:45And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

Luk 22:46

Luk 22:46and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
