Luke 22

1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, called Passover, was near.

2 The chief priests and the scribes were looking for some way to kill Jesus. However, they were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles.

4 Judas went to the chief priests and the temple guards and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus.

5 They were pleased and agreed to give him some money.

6 So Judas promised to do it. He kept looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them when there was no crowd.

7 The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb had to be killed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John and told them, "Go, prepare the Passover lamb for us to eat."

9 They asked him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

10 He told them, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him into the house he enters.

11 Tell the owner of the house that the teacher asks, 'Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'

12 He will take you upstairs and show you a large furnished room. Get things ready there."

13 The disciples left. They found everything as Jesus had told them and prepared the Passover.

14 When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table.

15 Jesus said to them, "I've had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16 I can guarantee that I won't eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."

17 Then he took a cup and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He said, "Take this, and share it.

18 I can guarantee that from now on I won't drink this wine until the kingdom of God comes."

19 Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, "This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me."

20 When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new promise made with my blood."

21 "The hand of the one who will betray me is with me on the table.

22 The Son of Man is going to die the way it has been planned for him. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays him."

23 So they began to discuss with each other who could do such a thing.

24 Then a quarrel broke out among the disciples. They argued about who should be considered the greatest.

25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of nations have power over their people, and those in authority call themselves friends of the people.

26 But you're not going to be that way! Rather, the greatest among you must be like the youngest, and your leader must be like a servant.

27 Who's the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn't it really the person who sits at the table? But I'm among you as a servant.

28 "You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me.

29 So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I'm giving it to you.

30 You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will also sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel."

31 [Then the Lord said,] "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks.

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. So when you recover, strengthen the other disciples."

33 But Peter said to him, "Lord, I'm ready to go to prison with you and to die with you."

34 Jesus replied, "Peter, I can guarantee that the rooster won't crow tonight until you say three times that you don't know me."

35 Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" "Not a thing!" they answered.

36 Then he said to them, "But now, the person who has a wallet and a traveling bag should take them along. The person who doesn't have a sword should sell his coat and buy one.

37 I can guarantee that the Scripture passage which says, 'He was counted with criminals,' must find its fulfillment in me. Indeed, whatever is written about me will come true."

38 The disciples said, "Lord, look! Here are two swords!" Then Jesus said to them, "That's enough!"

39 Jesus went out [of the city] to the Mount of Olives as he usually did. His disciples followed him.

40 When he arrived, he said to them, "Pray that you won't be tempted."

41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed,

42 "Father, if it is your will, take this cup [of suffering] away from me. However, your will must be done, not mine."

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.

44 So he prayed very hard in anguish. His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45 When Jesus ended his prayer, he got up and went to the disciples. He found them asleep and overcome with sadness.

46 He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up, and pray that you won't be tempted."

47 While he was still speaking to the disciples, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus to kiss him.

48 Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you intend to betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49 The men who were with Jesus saw what was going to happen. So they asked him, "Lord, should we use our swords to fight?"

50 One of the disciples cut off the right ear of the chief priest's servant.

51 But Jesus said, "Stop! That's enough of this." Then he touched the servant's ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple guards, and leaders who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?

53 I was with you in the temple courtyard every day and you didn't try to arrest me. But this is your time, when darkness rules."

54 So they arrested Jesus and led him away to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.

55 Some men had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard. As they sat together, Peter sat among them.

56 A female servant saw him as he sat facing the glow of the fire. She stared at him and said, "This man was with Jesus."

57 But Peter denied it by saying, "I don't know him, woman."

58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, "You are one of them." But Peter said, "Not me!"

59 About an hour later another person insisted, "It's obvious that this man was with him. He's a Galilean!"

60 But Peter said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61 Then the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered what the Lord had said: "Before a rooster crows today, you will say three times that you don't know me."

62 Then Peter went outside and cried bitterly.

63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him as they beat him.

64 They blindfolded him and said to him, "Tell us who hit you."

65 They also insulted him in many other ways.

66 In the morning the council of the people's leaders, the chief priests and the scribes, gathered together. They brought Jesus in front of their highest court and asked him,

67 "Tell us, are you the Messiah?" Jesus said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe me.

68 And if I ask you, you won't answer.

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be in the highest position in heaven."

70 Then all of them said, "So you're the Son of God?" Jesus answered them, "You're right to say that I am."

71 Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We've heard him say it ourselves."

John 13

1 Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. Jesus loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end.

2 While supper was taking place, the devil had already put the idea of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

3 The Father had put everything in Jesus' control. Jesus knew that. He also knew that he had come from God and was going back to God.

4 So he got up from the table, removed his outer clothes, took a towel, and tied it around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel that he had tied around his waist.

6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered Peter, "You don't know now what I'm doing. You will understand later."

8 Peter told Jesus, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus replied to Peter, "If I don't wash you, you don't belong to me."

9 Simon Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, don't wash only my feet. Wash my hands and my head too!"

10 Jesus told Peter, "People who have washed are completely clean. They need to have only their feet washed. All of you, except for one, are clean."

11 (Jesus knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, "All of you, except for one, are clean.")

12 After Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothes, he took his place at the table again. Then he asked his disciples, "Do you understand what I've done for you?

13 You call me teacher and Lord, and you're right because that's what I am.

14 So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet.

15 I've given you an example that you should follow.

16 I can guarantee this truth: Slaves are not superior to their owners, and messengers are not superior to the people who send them.

17 If you understand all of this, you are blessed whenever you follow my example.

18 "I'm not talking about all of you. I know the people I've chosen [to be apostles]. However, I've made my choice so that Scripture will come true. It says, 'The one who eats my bread has turned against me.'

19 I'm telling you now before it happens. Then, when it happens, you will believe that I am the one.

20 "I can guarantee this truth: Whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me."

21 After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled. He declared, "I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me!"

22 The disciples began looking at each other and wondering which one of them Jesus meant.

23 One disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, was near him at the table.

24 Simon Peter motioned to that disciple and said, "Ask Jesus whom he's talking about!"

25 Leaning close to Jesus, that disciple asked, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus answered, "He's the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I've dipped it in the sauce." So Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

27 Then, after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered him. So Jesus told him, "Hurry! Do what you have to do."

28 No one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him.

29 Judas had the moneybag. So some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor.

30 Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. It was night.

31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and because of him God is glorified.

32 If God is glorified because of the Son of Man, God will glorify the Son of Man because of himself, and he will glorify the Son of Man at once."

33 Jesus said, "Dear children, I will still be with you for a little while. I'm telling you what I told the Jews. You will look for me, but you can't go where I'm going.

34 "I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you.

35 Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other."

36 Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "You can't follow me now to the place where I'm going. However, you will follow me later."

37 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I'll give my life for you."

38 Jesus replied, "Will you give your life for me? I can guarantee this truth: No rooster will crow until you say three times that you don't know me.
