Luke 22

New Century Version NCV

1 It was almost time for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover Feast.

2 The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to kill Jesus, because they were afraid of the people.

3 Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve apostles.

4 Judas went to the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple and talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them.

5 They were pleased and agreed to give Judas money.

6 He agreed and watched for the best time to hand Jesus over to them when he was away from the crowd.

7 The Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lambs had to be sacrificed.

8 Jesus said to Peter and John, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat."

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

10 Jesus said to them, "After 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 tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says: Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover meal with my followers?'

12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Prepare the Passover meal there."

13 So Peter and John left and found everything as Jesus had said. And they prepared the Passover meal.

14 When the time came, Jesus and the apostles were sitting at the table.

15 He said to them, "I wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer.

16 I will not eat another Passover meal until it is given its true meaning in the kingdom of God."

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

18 I will not drink again from the fruit of the vinen until God's kingdom comes."

19 Then Jesus took some bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to the apostles, saying, "This is my body, which I am giving for you. Do this to remember me."

20 In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup and said, "This cup is the new agreement that God makes with his people. This new agreement begins with my blood which is poured out for you.

21 "But one of you will turn against me, and his hand is with mine on the table.

22 What God has planned for the Son of Man will happen, but how terrible it will be for that one who turns against the Son of Man."

23 Then the apostles asked each other which one of them would do that.

24 The apostles also began to argue about which one of them was the most important.

25 But Jesus said to them, "The kings of the non-Jewish people rule over them, and those who have authority over others like to be called 'friends of the people.'

26 But you must not be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the leader should be like the servant.

27 Who is more important: the one sitting at the table or the one serving? You think the one at the table is more important, but I am like a servant among you.

28 "You have stayed with me through my struggles.

29 Just as my Father has given me a kingdom, I also give you a kingdom

30 so you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to test all of you as a farmer sifts his wheat.

32 I have prayed that you will not lose your faith! Help your brothers be stronger when you come back to me."

33 But Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and even to die with you!"

34 But Jesus said, "Peter, before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don't know me."

35 Then Jesus said to the apostles, "When I sent you out without a purse, a bag, or sandals, did you need anything?" They said, "No."

36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse or a bag, carry that with you. If you don't have a sword, sell your coat and buy one.

37 The Scripture says, 'He was treated like a criminal,' and I tell you this scripture must have its full meaning. It was written about me, and it is happening now."

38 His followers said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."

39 Jesus left the city and went to the Mount of Olives, as he often did, and his followers went with him.

40 When he reached the place, he said to them, "Pray for strength against temptation."

41 Then Jesus went about a stone's throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed,

42 "Father, if you are willing, take away this cupn of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want."

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him to strengthen him.

44 Being full of pain, Jesus prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45 When he finished praying, he went to his followers and found them asleep because of their sadness.

46 Jesus said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray for strength against temptation."

47 While Jesus was speaking, a crowd came up, and Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus so he could kiss him.

48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you using the kiss to give the Son of Man to his enemies?"

49 When those who were standing around him saw what was happening, they said, "Lord, should we strike them with our swords?"

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 Jesus said, "Stop! No more of this." Then he touched the servant's ear and healed him.

52 Those who came to arrest Jesus were the leading priests, the soldiers who guarded the Temple, and the older Jewish leaders. Jesus said to them, "You came out here with swords and clubs as though I were a criminal.

53 I was with you every day in the Temple, and you didn't arrest me there. But this is your time -- the time when darkness rules."

54 They arrested Jesus, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed far behind them.

55 After the soldiers started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat together, Peter sat with them.

56 A servant girl saw Peter sitting there in the firelight, and looking closely at him, she said, "This man was also with him."

57 But Peter said this was not true; he said, "Woman, I don't know him."

58 A short time later, another person saw Peter and said, "You are also one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

59 About an hour later, another man insisted, "Certainly this man was with him, because he is from Galilee, too."

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

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

62 Then Peter went outside and cried painfully.

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began making fun of him and beating him.

64 They blindfolded him and said, "Prove that you are a prophet, and tell us who hit you."

65 They said many cruel things to Jesus.

66 When day came, the council of the older leaders of the people, both the leading priests and the teachers of the law, came together and led Jesus to their highest court.

67 They said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." Jesus said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe me.

68 And if I ask you, you will not answer.

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the powerful God."

70 They all said, "Then are you the Son of God?" Jesus said to them, "You say that I am."

71 They said, "Why do we need witnesses now? We ourselves heard him say this."

New Living Translation NLT

1 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching.

2 The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction.

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

4 and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.

5 They were delighted, and they promised to give him money.

6 So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.

7 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.

8 Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”

9 “Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.

10 He replied, “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters,

11 say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

12 He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”

13 They went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.

14 When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.

15 Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins.

16 For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

17 Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

18 For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”

19 He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”

20 After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.

21 “But here at this table, sitting among us as a friend, is the man who will betray me.

22 For it has been determined that the Son of Man must die. But what sorrow awaits the one who betrays him.”

23 The disciples began to ask each other which of them would ever do such a thing.

24 Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them.

25 Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’

26 But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.

27 Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who serves.

28 “You have stayed with me in my time of trial.

29 And just as my Father has granted me a Kingdom, I now grant you the right

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

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.

32 But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”

33 Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.”

34 But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied.

36 “But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!

37 For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.”

38 “Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.” “That’s enough,” he said.

39 Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.

40 There he told them, “Pray that you will not give in to temptation.”

41 He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,

42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him.

44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

45 At last he stood up again and returned to the disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted from grief.

46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.”

47 But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss.

48 But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!”

50 And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.

51 But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus spoke to the leading priests, the captains of the Temple guard, and the elders who had come for him. “Am I some dangerous revolutionary,” he asked, “that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?

53 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there every day. But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.”

54 So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance.

55 The guards lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter joined them there.

56 A servant girl noticed him in the firelight and began staring at him. Finally she said, “This man was one of Jesus’ followers!”

57 But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!”

58 After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!” “No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.

59 About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

62 And Peter left the courtyard, weeping bitterly.

63 The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him.

64 They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy to us! Who hit you that time?”

65 And they hurled all sorts of terrible insults at him.

66 At daybreak all the elders of the people assembled, including the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. Jesus was led before this high council,

67 and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?” But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me.

68 And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated in the place of power at God’s right hand. ”

70 They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?” And he replied, “You say that I am.”

71 “Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
