Luke 22:39-71 ▼

39 And having gone out, He went according to the custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.

40 And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.”

41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and having fallen on the knees, He was praying,

42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, take away this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours, be done.”

43 And an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

44 And having been in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like large drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief.

46 And He said to them, “Why are you? sleeping? Having risen up, pray that you? might not enter into temptation.”

47 In His still speaking, behold, a crowd, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was going before them, and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 And those around Him, having seen what would be, said, “Lord, will we strike with the sword?”

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

51 But Jesus, answering, said, “Permit only as far as” this! And having touched the ear, He healed him.

52 And Jesus said to those having come out against Him, the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, “Have you? come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?

53 Every day of My being with you? in the temple, you? did not stretch out the hands against Me; but this is your? hour, and that of the power of the darkness.”

54 And having seized Him, they led Him away and led Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following afar off.

55 And on their having kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and having sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

56 And a certain servant girl, having seen him sitting by the light and having looked intently on him, said, “This one also was with Him.”

57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 And after a little, having seen him, another was saying, “You also are of them.” But Peter was saying, “Man, I am not.”

59 And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other strongly affirmed it, saying, “Of a truth, this one also was with Him; for he is also a Galilean.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you say.” And immediately in his still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61 And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62 And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

63 And the men who are holding Him began mocking Him, beating Him.

64 And having blindfolded Him, they were questioning Him, saying, “Prophesy, who is the one having struck You?”

65 And they were saying many other things to Him, blaspheming.

66 And when it was day, the elderhood of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their Council, saying,

67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I should tell you?, you? would not believe,

68 and if I should ask you, you? would not answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”

70 And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And He was saying to them, “You? say that I am.”

71 And they said, “What need do we have of any more testimony? For we ourselves heard it from His mouth.”
