Luke 22 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Preparing the Passover

Luk 22:1

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

Luk 22:2And the chief priests and the scribes were trying to find [fn]a way to put Him to death, since they were afraid of the people.
Luk 22:3

And Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, [fn]who belonged to the number of the twelve.

Luk 22:4And he left and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he was to betray Him to them.
Luk 22:5And they were delighted, and agreed to give him money.
Luk 22:6And so he consented, and began looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them [fn]away from the crowd.
Luk 22:7

Now the first day of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

Luk 22:8And so Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.
Luk 22:9They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?
Luk 22:10And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house that he enters.
Luk 22:11“And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
Luk 22:12“And he will show you a large, furnished upstairs room; prepare it there.”
Luk 22:13And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

The Lord’s Supper

Luk 22:14

When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

Luk 22:15And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
Luk 22:16for I say to you, I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
Luk 22:17And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;
Luk 22:18for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
Luk 22:19And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
Luk 22:20And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is poured out for you, is the new covenant in My blood.
Luk 22:21“But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with [fn]Mine on the table.
Luk 22:22“For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
Luk 22:23And they began to debate among themselves which one of them it was who was going to do this.

Who Is Greatest

Luk 22:24

And a dispute also developed among them as to which one of them was regarded as being the greatest.

Luk 22:25And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’
Luk 22:26“But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.
Luk 22:27“For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
Luk 22:28

“You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials;

Luk 22:29and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you
Luk 22:30that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luk 22:31

“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has [fn]demanded to sift you men like wheat;

Luk 22:32but I have prayed for [fn]you, that [fn]your faith will not fail; and [fn]you, when you have [fn]turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Luk 22:33But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”
Luk 22:34But He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
Luk 22:35

And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.”

Luk 22:36And He said to them, “But now, [fn]whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and [fn]whoever has no sword is to sell his [fn]cloak and buy one.
Luk 22:37“For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me: ‘AND HE WAS COUNTED WITH WRONGDOERS’; for that which refers to Me has its [fn]fulfillment.”
Luk 22:38They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

The Garden of Gethsemane

Luk 22:39

And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

Luk 22:40Now when He arrived at the place, He said to them, “Pray that you do not come into temptation.”
Luk 22:41And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray,
Luk 22:42saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
Luk 22:43[[fn]Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
Luk 22:44And being in agony, He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground].
Luk 22:45When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,
Luk 22:46and He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you do not come into temptation.”

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

Luk 22:47

While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading the way for them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

Luk 22:48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
Luk 22:49When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
Luk 22:50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
Luk 22:51But Jesus responded and said, [fn]Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
Luk 22:52And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a man inciting a revolt?
Luk 22:53“While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but [fn]this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”
Luk 22:54

Now they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

Luk 22:55After they kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.
Luk 22:56And a slave woman, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, and staring at him, said, “This man was with Him as well.”
Luk 22:57But he denied it, saying, “I do not know Him, woman!”
Luk 22:58And a little later, another person saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
Luk 22:59And after about an hour had passed, some other man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, for he, too, is a Galilean.”
Luk 22:60But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Luk 22:61And then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
Luk 22:62And he went out and wept bitterly.
Luk 22:63

The men who were holding [fn]Jesus in custody began mocking Him and beating Him,

Luk 22:64and they blindfolded Him and repeatedly asked Him, saying, “Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?”
Luk 22:65And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Luk 22:66

When it was day, the [fn]Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,

Luk 22:67“If You are the [fn]Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;
Luk 22:68and if I ask a question, you will not answer.
Luk 22:69“But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
Luk 22:70And they all said, “So You are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say correctly that I am.”
Luk 22:71And then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth!”
