Luke 22

The Chief Priests and Scribes Plot to Kill Jesus

1Now the feast of Unleavened Bread (which is called Passover) was drawing near.

2And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.

Judas Arranges to Betray Jesus

3And Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

4And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them.[#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went away”) has been translated as a finite verb]

5And they were delighted, and came to an agreement with him to give him money.[#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

6And he agreed, and began looking for a favorable opportunity to betray him to them apart from the crowd.[#*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began looking”)]

Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples

7And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed.

8And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.[#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“go”) has been translated as a finite verb; #*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

9So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”[#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

10And he said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.[#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“have entered”)]

11And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’

12And he will show you a large furnished upstairs room. Make preparations there.”[#Or perhaps “paved” or “panelled”]

13So they went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.[#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went”) has been translated as a finite verb; #*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

The Lord’s Supper

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

15And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.[#Literally “I have desired with desire”]

16For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17And he took in hand a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.[#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“took in hand”) has been translated as a finite verb; #*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the temporal participle (“giving thanks”); #*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

18For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”[#Some manuscripts have “I tell you that”]

19And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”[#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“took”) has been translated as a finite verb; #*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the temporal participle (“giving thanks”); #*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation; #*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

20And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.

21“But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table!

22For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”

23And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.

A Dispute About Who Is Greatest

24And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest.

25So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors.[#The same Greek word can be translated “nations” or “Gentiles” depending on the context]

26But you are not to be like this! But the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am in your midst as the one who serves.

28“And you are the ones who have remained with me in my trials,[#Or “ones who have continued”]

29and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred on me,

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

33But he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

The Two Swords

35And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And they said, “Nothing.”[#*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by “did you”]

36And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one.[#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

37For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was counted with the criminals.’ For indeed, what is written about me is being fulfilled.”[#A quotation from Isa 53:12; #*The phrase “what is written” is not in the Greek text but is an understood repetition of the similar phrase at the beginning of the verse; #Literally “is having an end”]
