Luke

Luke 22

1The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ: 3Judas covenanteth to betray him. 7The apostles sent to prepare the passover: Christ eateth it with them; 19and instituteth his last supper: 21he covertly pointeth out the traitor: 24checketh the ambitious strife of his disciples, and promiseth them a share in his kingdom: 31he telleth Peter of Satan's desire to sift him; 35he adviseth his disciples to provide necessaries and a sword: 39his agony and prayer in the garden: 47he is betrayed; 50healeth a servant of the high priest, whose ear was cut off; 54is led to the high priest's house; Peter thrice denieth him. 63Christ is scornfully used; 66and brought before the council, where confessing himself to be the Son of God, he is pronounced guilty of blasphemy.

1NOW ^athe feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

a Mat. 26.1-5. Mar. 14.1,2. Jn. 11.55-57. Ex. 12.15. Ps. 2.1-5; 22.12,16. ch. 19.47,48; 20.19. Ac. 4.27.

2And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; ^bfor they feared the people.

b ch. 20.6,21.

3¶^cThen entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

c Mat. 26.14-16. Mar. 14.10,11. Ps. 41.9; 55.12-14; 9.6. Jn. 6.70,71; 13.2,18,21-30. Ac. 5.3.

4And he went his way, and ^dcommuned with the chief priests and ^ecaptains, how he might betray him unto them.

d Mat. 26.15. Pr. 1.16; 4.16. Ro. 3.10-18. Mi. 7.5,6. Je. 9.4. e v.52. Ac. 4.1.

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

f Zec. 11.12,13. Ex. 21.32. Mar. 14.11. 1Ti. 6.10.

6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them ¹in the absence of the multitude.

7¶^gThen came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

g Mat. 26.17-19. Mar. 14.12-16. Jn. 18.28. Ex. 12.6-28; 13.3. Le. 23.5,6. Nu. 9.3; 28.16,17. De. 16.1-4.

8And ^hhe sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

h Mar. 14.13. Mat. 26.17,18.

9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10And he said unto them, ⁱBehold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

i Is. 41.22; 42.9; 44.8; 45.21; 46.10. Jn. 16.4. Ac. 15.18.

11And ye shall say unto the ^*goodman of the house, ^jThe Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

j Mat. 8.25; 21.3; 23.8-10; 26.18. Jn. 20.16; 11.8,28. Ac. 10.36. Col. 1.15-18; 2.9,10.

12And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13And they went, and ^kfound as he had said unto them: ^land they made ready the passover.

k Ps. 33.9. Nu. 23.19. l 1Sa. 15.22. Ex. 23.21. Jn. 14.15; 15.14.

14^mAnd when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

m Mat. 26.20-25. Mar. 14.17-21. Ex. 12.6. Le. 23.5. De. 16.1.

15And he said unto them, ²With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16For I say unto you, ⁿI will not any more eat thereof, ^ountil it be fulfilled ^pin the kingdom of God.

n ch. 14.15. v.18. 1Co. 5.7,8. Ac. 1.3. Mat. 3.2; 4.17. Da. 2.44. Re. 11.15; 19.7,9. o ch. 12.50. p v.30.

17And he took the cup, and ^qgave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

q De. 8.10. Ex. 23.25. 1Ti. 4.5. ch. 9.16. Mat. 26.27; 15.36.

18For I say unto you, ^rI will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

r Mar. 14.25. Mat. 26.29. v.16.

19¶^sAnd he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it , and gave unto them, saying, This ^tis my body which is given for you: ^uthis do in remembrance of me.

s Mat. 26.26-28. Mar. 14.22-24. 1Co. 11.23-29; 10.16,17. Ro. 14.6. 1Ti. 4.4,5. Jn. 6.51. t 1Co. 11.24-26. u 1Co. 2.2; 1.24. Mat. 20.28; 1.21. Tit. 2.14.

20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, ^vThis cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

v Mat. 26.28. Ex. 24.8. Zec. 9.11. He. 9.14-17. Ro. 5.6-11,15-21. 2Co. 1.20.

21¶^wBut, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

w Mar. 14.18-22. Mat. 26.20-25. Jn. 13.18,21-30. Ps. 41.9; 55.13. Jn. 6.71.

22^xAnd truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but ^ywoe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

x ch. 24.46. Ge. 3.15. Ps. 22.1-21; 69.1-21. Is. 52.14; 53.2-12; 50.5,6. Da. 9.24,26. Zec. 13.7. Ac. 4.27,28; 2.23. 1Co. 15.3. y Ps. 55.15-23; 109.1-20. Mat. 27.3-5. Ac. 1.16-20. Is. 3.11.

23^zAnd they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

z Mat. 26.22. Jn. 13.21-25.

24¶^aAnd there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

a Mat. 20.24-28. Mar. 10.41-45; 9.34-37. ch. 9.46,48. Hab. 2.4.

25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26But ^bye shall not be so: ^cbut he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as ^dhe that doth serve.

b Mat. 20.26,27; 18.3,4; 23.8-12. ch. 14.11; 18.14. Jn. 13.12-17. 1Co. 9.19-23. Ja. 4.6,10. 1Pe. 5.3,5. 3Jn. 9,10. c Mar. 9.35. ch. 9.48. d ch. 12.37. Jn. 13.4,5.

27For ^e*whether is greater, he that sitteth at ^*meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? ^fbut I am among you as he that serveth.

e ch. 17.7-9; 12.37. f Phi. 2.7,8. Jn. 13.5,13,14. Mat. 20.28. He. 5.8. 2Co. 8.9.

28Ye are they which have continued with me ^gin my temptations.

g Mat. 19.28,29. He. 4.15; 2.18. ch. 4.13.

29And ^hI appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30That ⁱye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and ^jsit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

i Mat. 8.11; 26.29. j Mat. 19.28.

31¶And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, ^kbehold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

k 1Pe. 5.8. Job 1.11; 2.5. Re. 12.10. Zec. 3.1. Am. 9.9.

32^lBut I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art ^mconverted, strengthen thy brethren.

33And he said unto him, Lord, ⁿI am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

n Je. 10.23; 17.9. Mat. 26.33,35. Mar. 14.29,31. Jn. 13.37. Ps. 30.6.

o Mat. 26.34. Mar. 14.30. Jn. 13.38.

35^pAnd he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and ^*scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

p Mat. 10.9,10. ch. 9.3; 10.4. Mar. 6.8,9.

36Then said he unto them, ^qBut now, he that hath a purse, let him take it , and likewise his ^*scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

q Ac. 14.22. Jn. 16.33. 1Co. 4.11-13. 2Co. 11.25-27. He. 10.34,36; 11.36,37. 2Ti. 2.3,4; 3.12.

37For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, ^rAnd he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me ^shave an end.

r Is. 53.12. Mar. 15.27,28. ch. 23.32. Mat. 27.38. Jn. 19.18. He. 9.28. 2Co. 5.21. s Jn. 17.4; 19.30.

u Mat. 26.30,36-46. Mar. 14.26,32-42. Jn. 18.1. v.28.

w Mat. 26.36,39,42,44. Mar. 14.35,36. He. 5.7. Jn. 18.11; 5.30; 6.38; 12.27. Ps. 40.8.

x Ps. 91.11,12. Mat. 4.11; 26.53. 1Ti. 3.16. He. 1.14.

45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46And said unto them, ^zWhy sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

z Jonah 1.6. Pr. 6.9. v.40. ch. 21.34,36.

47¶And while he yet spake, ^abehold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus ^bto kiss him.

48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite ^cwith the sword?

c v.38.

50¶^dAnd one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

d Jn. 18.10. Mat. 26.51,52. Mar. 14.47. 2Co. 10.4. Ro. 12.19.

51And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he ^etouched his ear, and healed him.

e Mat. 20.34.

52^fThen Jesus said unto the chief priests, and ^gcaptains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and ^*staves?

q Mat. 26.71. Mar. 14.69. Jn. 18.25.

r Mat. 26.73. Mar. 14.70. Jn. 18.26. s Jn. 1.43,44. ch. 13.1. Ju. 12.6.

60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, ^tBefore the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

t Mat. 26.34. Mar. 14.30. Jn. 13.38. v.34.

65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

x Mat. 27.1. Mar. 15.1. Is. 53.3. Ps. 22.12,16,21; 2.1; 3.1. Ac. 4.26-28.

68And if I also ask you , ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
