Luke 22

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.

2 And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

3 And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

4 And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.

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

6 And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

7 And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.

8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

9 And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

10 And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

11 And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

12 And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

13 And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

14 And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

15 And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

16 For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

17 And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

18 For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

19 And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

20 And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

21 But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

22 For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

23 And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

24 And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

25 And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

26 But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

27 For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

28 But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

29 And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

30 So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

32 But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

33 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

34 And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

35 And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

36 And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

37 For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

38 And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

39 And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

41 And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

42 Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

43 And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

44 And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

45 And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

46 And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

47 And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

48 But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

49 And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

50 And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.

52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

53 When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

54 And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

55 And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

56 And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

57 But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

58 And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

59 And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

61 And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

62 And he went out, weeping bitterly.

63 And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.

64 And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?

65 And they said a number of other evil things against him.

66 And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

67 If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;

68 And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.

69 But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

70 And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

71 And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

Good News Translation GNT

1 The time was near for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover.

2 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were afraid of the people, and so they were trying to find a way of putting Jesus to death secretly.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples.

4 So Judas went off and spoke with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guard about how he could betray Jesus to them.

5 They were pleased and offered to pay him money.

6 Judas agreed to it and started looking for a good chance to hand Jesus over to them without the people knowing about it.

7 The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the lambs for the Passover meal were to be killed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John with these instructions: "Go and get the Passover meal ready for us to eat."

9 "Where do you want us to get it ready?" they asked him.

10 He answered, "As you go into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,

11 and say to the owner of the house: "The Teacher says to you, Where is the room where my disciples and I will eat the Passover meal?'

12 He will show you a large furnished room upstairs, where you will get everything ready."

13 They went off and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

14 When the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table with the apostles.

15 He said to them, "I have wanted so much to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer!

16 For I tell you, I will never eat it until it is given its full meaning in the Kingdom of God."

17 Then Jesus took a cup, gave thanks to God, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves.

18 I tell you that from now on I will not drink this wine until the Kingdom of God comes."

19 Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me."

20 In the same way, he gave them the cup after the supper, saying, "This cup is God's new covenant sealed with my blood, which is poured out for you.

21 "But, look! The one who betrays me is here at the table with me!

22 The Son of Man will die as God has decided, but how terrible for that man who betrays him!"

23 Then they began to ask among themselves which one of them it could be who was going to do this.

24 An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them should be thought of as the greatest.

25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of the pagans have power over their people, and the rulers claim the title "Friends of the People.'

26 But this is not the way it is with you; rather, the greatest one among you must be like the youngest, and the leader must be like the servant.

27 Who is greater, the one who sits down to eat or the one who serves? The one who sits down, of course. But I am among you as one who serves.

28 "You have stayed with me all through my trials;

29 and just as my Father has given me the right to rule, so I will give you the same right.

30 You will eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and you will sit on thrones to rule over the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 "Simon, Simon! Listen! Satan has received permission to test all of you, to separate the good from the bad, as a farmer separates the wheat from the chaff.

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers."

33 Peter answered, "Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you and to die with you!"

34 "I tell you, Peter," Jesus said, "the rooster will not crow tonight until you have said three times that you do not know me."

35 Then Jesus asked his disciples, "When I sent you out that time without purse, bag, or shoes, did you lack anything?" "Not a thing," they answered.

36 "But now," Jesus said, "whoever has a purse or a bag must take it; and whoever does not have a sword must sell his coat and buy one.

37 For I tell you that the scripture which says, "He shared the fate of criminals,' must come true about me, because what was written about me is coming true."

38 The disciples said, "Look! Here are two swords, Lord!" "That is enough!" he replied.

39 Jesus left the city and went, as he usually did, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples went with him.

40 When he arrived at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."

41 Then he went off from them about the distance of a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed.

42 "Father," he said, "if you will, take this cup of suffering away from me. Not my will, however, but your will be done."

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

44 In great anguish he prayed even more fervently; his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45 Rising from his prayer, he went back to the disciples and found them asleep, worn out by their grief.

46 He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation."

47 Jesus was still speaking when a crowd arrived, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. He came up to Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said, "Judas, is it with a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?"

49 When the disciples who were with Jesus saw what was going to happen, they asked, "Shall we use our swords, Lord?"

50 And one of them struck the High Priest's slave and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus said, "Enough of this!" He touched the man's ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guard and the elders who had come there to get him, "Did you have to come with swords and clubs, as though I were an outlaw?

53 I was with you in the Temple every day, and you did not try to arrest me. But this is your hour to act, when the power of darkness rules."

54 They arrested Jesus and took him away into the house of the High Priest; and Peter followed at a distance.

55 A fire had been lit in the center of the courtyard, and Peter joined those who were sitting around it.

56 When one of the servant women saw him sitting there at the fire, she looked straight at him and said, "This man too was with Jesus!"

57 But Peter denied it, "Woman, I don't even know him!"

58 After a little while a man noticed Peter and said, "You are one of them, too!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

59 And about an hour later another man insisted strongly, "There isn't any doubt that this man was with Jesus, because he also is a Galilean!"

60 But Peter answered, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" At once, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61 The Lord turned around and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered that the Lord had said to him, "Before the rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me."

62 Peter went out and wept bitterly.

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

64 They blindfolded him and asked him, "Who hit you? Guess!"

65 And they said many other insulting things to him.

66 When day came, the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law met together, and Jesus was brought before the Council.

67 "Tell us," they said, "are you the Messiah?" He answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me;

68 and if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right side of Almighty God."

70 They all said, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He answered them, "You say that I am."

71 And they said, "We don't need any witnesses! We ourselves have heard what he said!"
