Luke 22:1-38

Listen to Luke 22:1-38

The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 ¹Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called ²the Passover.

2 And the chief priests and the scribes ³were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas to Betray Jesus

3 ⁴Then ⁵Satan entered into ⁶Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and ⁷officers how he might betray him to them.

5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to ⁸betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.

The Passover with the Disciples

7 ⁹Then came ¹⁰the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8 So Jesus^[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it. ”

9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it? ”

10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters

11 and tell the master of the house, ¹¹‘The Teacher says to you, Where is ¹²the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? ’

12 And he will show you ¹³a large upper room furnished; prepare it there. ”

13 And they went and found it ¹⁴just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 ¹⁵And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.

15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16 For I tell you I will not eat it^[b] ¹⁶until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ”

17 And he took a cup, and ¹⁷when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

18 ¹⁸For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ¹⁹until the kingdom of God comes. ”

19 ²⁰And he took bread, and ²¹when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ²²“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. ”

20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ²³“This cup that is poured out for you is ²⁴the new ²⁵covenant in my blood. ^[c]

21 ²⁶But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ²⁷with me on the table.

22 For the Son of Man goes ²⁸as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! ”

23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

24 ²⁹A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25 ³⁰And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ³¹exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

26 ³²But not so with you. Rather, let ³³the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

27 For who is the greater, ³⁴one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ³⁵I am among you as the one who serves.

28 “You are those who have stayed with me ³⁶in my trials,

29 and ³⁷I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,

30 ³⁸that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ³⁹sit on thrones judging ⁴⁰the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, ⁴¹Satan demanded to have you, ^[d] ⁴²that he might sift you like wheat,

32 but ⁴³I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ⁴⁴strengthen your brothers. ”

33 Peter^[e] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both ⁴⁵to prison and ⁴⁶to death. ”

34 ⁴⁷Jesus^[f] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me. ”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

35 And he said to them, ⁴⁸“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything? ”They said, “Nothing. ”

36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

37 For I tell you that ⁴⁹this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ⁵⁰‘And he was numbered with the transgressors. ’ For ⁵¹what is written about me has its fulfillment. ”

38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two ⁵²swords. ” And he said to them, ⁵³“It is enough. ”
