Luke 22

The Plot to Kill Jesus

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

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, ¹ called the Passover, was approaching, ‡ Exo 12:6-23Lev 23:5-6Jhn 11:55-57Mat 26:2-5Mrk 14:1-21Co 5:7-8Mrk 14:12 2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people. ‡ Jhn 11:47-53Jhn 11:57Luk 19:47-48Luk 20:19Mat 12:14Mat 21:45-46Mat 26:3-5Psa 2:1-5 +2

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. ‡ Jhn 13:2Mrk 14:10-11Jhn 13:18Jhn 13:26-27Psa 55:12-14Act 5:3Luk 22:21Mat 26:14-16 +74 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them. ‡ Act 4:1Act 5:24Act 5:26Luk 22:52Mat 26:14Mrk 14:10-11 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. ‡ Zec 11:12-131Ti 6:9-10Act 1:18Mat 26:15-16Mat 27:3-52Pe 2:152Pe 2:3Act 8:20 +16 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd. ‡ Mat 26:5Mrk 14:2

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed. ‡ Exo 12:18Mrk 14:12-161Co 5:7Exo 12:6Luk 22:1Mat 26:17-19 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.” ‡ Mrk 14:13-16Act 3:1Act 3:11Act 4:13Act 4:19Act 8:14Gal 4:4-5Luk 1:6 +1

9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters, ‡ Act 8:26-29Jhn 16:41Sa 10:2-7Mat 26:18-19Luk 19:29-40 11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ ‡ Jhn 11:28Rev 3:20Luk 19:31Luk 19:34Luk 19:5Mat 21:3 12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.” ‡ Act 1:13Act 16:14-15Act 20:8Jhn 2:25Jhn 21:17

13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover. ‡ Luk 19:32Luk 21:33Heb 11:8Jhn 2:5Jhn 11:40

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)

14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles. ‡ Mat 26:20Mrk 14:17Deu 16:6-7Mrk 6:30 15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering. ‡ Luk 12:50Jhn 4:34Jhn 13:1Jhn 17:1 16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ‡ Luk 14:15Rev 19:9Luk 22:301Co 5:7-8Jhn 6:50-58Act 10:41Heb 10:1-10Jhn 6:27 +1

17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. ‡ Psa 116:131Ti 4:4-5Luk 22:19Deu 8:10Jer 16:7Luk 9:16Psa 23:5Rom 14:6 +118 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” ‡ Mat 26:29Isa 55:1Luk 22:16Mrk 14:25Col 1:13Luk 21:31Act 2:30-36Dan 2:44 +14

19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ‡ 1Co 11:23-291Co 10:16Mrk 14:22-24Luk 22:20Mat 26:26-281Co 10:4Psa 111:4Tit 2:14 +17

20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you. ² ‡ 1Co 11:25Mat 26:28Zec 9:11Exo 24:8Heb 13:202Co 3:6Heb 12:24Heb 8:6-13 +4

21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table. ‡ Psa 41:9Jhn 13:26Jhn 13:18-19Jhn 13:21-22Mat 26:21-24Mrk 14:18-21Job 19:19Mic 7:5-6 22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.” ‡ Act 2:23Luk 24:25-27Psa 109:6-151Co 15:3-4Luk 24:46Psa 55:12-15Psa 69:1-361Pe 1:11 +15

23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this. ‡ Jhn 13:22-25Mat 26:22Mrk 14:19

Who Is the Greatest?

24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest. ‡ Luk 9:46Mrk 9:34Mat 20:20-24Mrk 10:37-411Co 13:41Pe 5:5-6Php 2:3-5Rom 12:10 +125 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors. ‡ Mat 20:25-28Mrk 10:41-45 26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. ‡ 1Pe 5:51Pe 5:3Mrk 9:353Jn 1:9-10Luk 9:48Mat 18:3-5Mat 23:8-12Rom 12:2 27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves. ‡ Mat 20:28Luk 12:37Jhn 13:5-162Co 8:9Luk 17:7-9Php 2:7-8

28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials. ‡ Heb 2:18Heb 4:15Act 1:25Jhn 6:67-68Jhn 8:31Mat 19:28-29Mat 24:13 29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me, ‡ 2Ti 2:12Mat 25:34Jas 2:5Mat 24:47Mat 28:18Luk 12:32Luk 19:171Co 9:25 +330 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ‡ Mat 19:28Mat 8:11Rev 2:26-27Luk 12:37Luk 14:15Rev 3:211Co 6:2-3Rev 19:9 +5

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

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

31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. ‡ 1Pe 5:8Zec 3:1Job 1:6-12Job 2:1-6Rev 12:10Amo 9:9Luk 10:41Act 9:4 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” ‡ Jhn 21:15-171Pe 5:8-10Jhn 17:9-11Rom 8:342Co 1:4-6Heb 7:251Jn 2:1-22Pe 3:14 +25

33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.” ‡ Mrk 14:31Mat 26:33-35Jhn 13:36-37Mrk 14:29Mat 20:22Mat 26:40-41Act 20:23-24Act 21:13 +5

34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.” ‡ Jhn 13:38Mat 26:34Mrk 14:30Mat 26:74Mrk 14:71-72Jhn 18:27

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” ‡ Mat 10:9-10Luk 10:4Luk 9:3Psa 23:1Psa 34:9-10Psa 37:3Mat 6:31-33Mrk 6:8-9 +4

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. ‡ 1Th 2:14-151Th 3:4Jhn 15:20Mat 10:22-251Pe 4:1Jhn 16:33 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ ³ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.” ‡ Isa 53:122Co 5:21Luk 23:32Gal 3:13Act 13:27-29Jhn 17:4Jhn 19:28-30Jhn 10:35 +5

38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” ‡ 2Co 10:3-4Eph 6:10-18Luk 22:49Mat 26:52-541Th 5:8Jhn 18:361Pe 5:9

“That is enough,” He answered.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him. ‡ Luk 21:37Jhn 18:1-2Mat 21:1Mat 26:30Mrk 14:32-34Mat 26:36-38Mrk 11:11Mrk 11:19 +240 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” ‡ Mat 6:13Luk 22:46Mat 26:36-461Pe 5:8-92Co 12:7-10Mrk 14:32-421Pe 4:7Eph 6:18-19 +8

41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed, ‡ Mat 26:39Mrk 14:35Luk 18:11 42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” ‡ Jhn 12:27-28Mat 26:39Mat 26:42Mrk 14:36Psa 40:8Jhn 18:11Jhn 5:30Mat 20:22 +8

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him. ‡ Mat 4:11Mat 26:53Psa 91:11-12Heb 1:141Ti 3:16Heb 1:6Job 4:3-4Luk 22:32 +744 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. ⁴ ‡ Lam 1:12Heb 5:7Psa 22:12-21Rom 8:32Psa 130:1-2Isa 53:10Jhn 12:27Gen 32:24-28 +7

45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. ‡ Mrk 14:40-41Mat 26:40Mat 26:43Mrk 14:37 46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.” ‡ Luk 22:40Jon 1:6Luk 21:34-36Pro 6:4-11

The Betrayal of Jesus

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

47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him. ‡ Mrk 14:41-50Jhn 18:2-11Luk 22:3-6Mat 26:45-56Mrk 14:10Mat 26:14-16Act 1:16-18 48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” ‡ 2Sa 20:9-10Mrk 14:44-46Mat 26:48-50Pro 27:6Psa 55:21

49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” ‡ Luk 22:38 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. ‡ Jhn 18:10-11Mrk 14:472Co 10:4Mat 26:51-54Rom 12:19

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him. ‡ 2Co 10:1Rom 12:211Pe 2:21-23Jhn 17:12Jhn 18:8-9

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw? ‡ Luk 22:4Act 5:26Jhn 17:12Mat 26:55Mrk 14:48-492Ki 11:15 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, ⁵ and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.” ‡ Eph 6:122Co 4:3-6Act 26:18Col 1:13Jhn 12:27Jhn 16:20-22Jhn 7:45Jdg 16:21-30 +9

Peter Denies Jesus

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

54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance. ‡ Mat 26:57-58Mrk 14:53-54Jhn 18:12-172Ch 32:31Jhn 18:24Luk 22:33-34

55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. ‡ Psa 26:4-52Co 6:15-17Luk 22:44Mat 26:69-75Mrk 14:66-72Pro 9:6Psa 28:31Co 15:33 +556 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said. ‡ Jhn 18:17Mat 26:69Mrk 14:17Mrk 14:6Mrk 14:66-68

57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said. ‡ 1Jn 1:92Ti 2:10-12Act 3:13-14Act 3:19Jhn 18:25Jhn 18:27Luk 12:9Luk 22:33-34 +2

58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” ‡ Jhn 18:25Mat 26:71-72Mrk 14:69-70

But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.” ‡ Jhn 18:26-27Mat 26:73-74Mrk 14:69-70

60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. ‡ Jhn 18:27Luk 22:34Mat 26:74-75Mrk 14:71-72

While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. ‡ Luk 22:34Isa 57:15-18Ezk 16:63Ezk 36:31-32Jer 31:18-20Job 33:27Act 5:31Eph 2:11 +8

Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly. ‡ 1Co 10:12Mat 26:752Co 7:9-11Ezk 7:16Jer 31:18Mat 5:4Mrk 14:72Psa 126:5-6 +4

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

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

63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him. ‡ Jhn 18:221Pe 2:23Heb 12:2Isa 49:7Isa 50:6-7Isa 52:14Isa 53:3Job 16:9-10 +1364 They blindfolded Him ⁶and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?” ‡ Jdg 16:21Jdg 16:25 65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him. ‡ 1Ti 1:13-14Act 26:11Luk 12:10Mat 12:31-32Mat 27:39

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)

66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin ⁷and said, ‡ Mat 27:1Mrk 15:1Act 22:5Act 4:25-28Mat 5:22Jhn 18:28Psa 2:1-3 67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” ‡ Jhn 10:24-26Jhn 12:37-43Jhn 5:39-47Jhn 8:43-45Jhn 9:27-28Luk 16:31Mat 11:3-5Mat 26:63-68 +1

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe. 68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer. ‡ Luk 20:3-7Luk 20:41-44 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” ⁸ ‡ Psa 110:1Dan 7:13-14Heb 1:3Mrk 16:19Act 2:34-36Eph 1:20-23Mat 22:44Mat 26:64 +10

70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” ‡ Luk 23:3Jhn 18:37Mat 26:64Mat 27:11Mrk 15:2Jhn 1:34Jhn 1:49Jhn 10:30 +10

He replied, “You say that I am.”

71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.” ‡ Mat 26:65-66Mrk 14:63-64
