The Plot to Kill Jesus
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 22
|
|
1. Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
|
|
2. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.
|
|
Judas to Betray Jesus
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
|
|
4. He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.
|
|
5. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
|
|
6. So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.
|
|
The Passover with the Disciples
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
|
|
8. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, *"Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."*
|
|
9. They said to him, "Where will you have us prepare it?"
|
|
10. He said to them, *"Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters*
|
|
11. and tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
|
|
12. And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there."
|
|
13. And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
|
|
Institution of the Lord's Supper
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.
|
|
15. And he said to them, *"I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.*
|
|
16. For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
|
|
17. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, *"Take this, and divide it among yourselves.*
|
|
18. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
|
|
19. And he took bread, and when he had given 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."*
|
|
20. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, *"This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.*
|
|
21. But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
|
|
22. For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"
|
|
23. And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
|
|
Who Is the Greatest?
|
|
|
|
24. A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
|
|
25. And he said to them, *"The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.*
|
|
26. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
|
|
27. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
|
|
|
|
28. "You are those who have stayed with me in my trials,
|
|
29. and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,
|
|
30. that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
|
Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial
|
|
|
|
|
|
31. "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
|
|
32. but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
|
|
33. Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
|
|
34. Jesus said, *"I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."*
|
|
Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus
|
|
|
|
|
|
35. And he said to them, *"When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?"* They said, "Nothing."
|
|
36. He said to them, *"But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.*
|
|
37. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment."
|
|
38. And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, *"It is enough."*
|
|
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
|
|
|
|
|
|
39. And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
|
|
40. And when he came to the place, he said to them, *"Pray that you may not enter into temptation."*
|
|
41. And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed,
|
|
42. saying, *"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."*
|
|
43. And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
|
|
44. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
|
|
45. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,
|
|
46. and he said to them, *"Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."*
|
|
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
|
|
|
|
|
|
47. While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,
|
|
48. but Jesus said to him, *"Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"*
|
|
49. And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
|
|
50. And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
|
|
51. But Jesus said, *"No more of this!"* And he touched his ear and healed him.
|
|
52. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, *"Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?*
|
|
53. When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
|
|
Peter Denies Jesus
|
|
|
|
|
|
54. Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance.
|
|
55. And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
|
|
56. Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, "This man also was with him."
|
|
57. But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
|
|
58. And a little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."
|
|
59. And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, "Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean."
|
|
60. But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
|
|
61. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, *"Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."*
|
|
62. And he went out and wept bitterly.
|
|
Jesus Is Mocked
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him.
|
|
64. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?"
|
|
65. And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.
|
|
Jesus Before the Council
|
|
|
|
|
|
66. When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said,
|
|
67. "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, *"If I tell you, you will not believe,*
|
|
68. and if I ask you, you will not answer.
|
|
69. But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
|
|
70. So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" And he said to them, *"You say that I am."*
|
|
71. Then they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips."
