Luke 22
American King James Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus

(Matthew 26:1-5; Mark 14:1-2; John 11:45-57)

1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. 2And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

3Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. 5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

The Last Supper

(Psalm 41:1-13; Matthew 26:17-25; Mark 14:12-21; John 13:18-30)

7Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9And they said to him, Where will you that we prepare? 10And he said to them, Behold, when you are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he enters in. 11And you shall say to the manager of the house, The Master said to you, Where is the guest room, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13And they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.

The Lord's Supper Instituted

(Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34)

14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16For I say to you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 21But, behold, the hand of him that betrays me is with me on the table. 22And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! 23And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Who is the Greatest?

24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority on them are called benefactors. 26But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve. 27For whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? is not he that sits at meat? but I am among you as he that serves.

28You are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 29And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me; 30That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

(Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; John 13:36-38)

31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers. 33And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death. 34And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that you shall thrice deny that you know me.

35And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and money, and shoes, lacked you any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36Then said he to them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his money: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42)

39And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation. 41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42Saying, Father, if you be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done. 43And there appeared an angel to him from heaven, strengthening him. 44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46And said to them, Why sleep you? rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.

Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest

(Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; John 18:1-14)

47And while he yet spoke, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 48But Jesus said to him, Judas, betray you the Son of man with a kiss? 49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51And Jesus answered and said, Suffer you thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be you come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53When I was daily with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69-75; Mark 14:66-72; John 18:15-18)

54Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. 55And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 56But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked on him, and said, This man was also with him. 57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58And after a little while another saw him, and said, You are also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60And Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crew. 61And the Lord turned, and looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. 62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4-11; Matthew 27:27-31; Mark 15:16-20; John 19:1-15)

63And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote you? 65And many other things blasphemously spoke they against him.

Jesus Before the Council

66And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 67Are you the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe: 68And if I also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. 69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70Then said they all, Are you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that I am. 71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
