22:1 Now the Feast of Unleavened-Bread, the one being called Passover, was drawing-near.
22:2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking as to how they might kill Him, for they were fearing the people.
22:3 And Satan entered into Judas, the one being called “Iscariot”, being one of the number of the twelve.
22:4 And having gone, he talked-with the chief priests and [temple] captains as to how he might hand Him over to them.
22:5 And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money.
22:6 And he consented, and was seeking a favorable-opportunity that he might hand Him over without a crowd with them.
22:7 And the [first] day of the Feast of Unleavened-Bread came— on which it-was-necessary that the Passover [lamb] be sacrificed.
22:8 And He sent-forth Peter and John, having said, “Having gone, prepare the Passover [meal] for us in order that we may eat it ”.
22:9 And the ones said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?”
22:10 And the One said to them, “Behold— you having entered into the city, a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him to the house into which he proceeds.
22:11 And 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 [meal] with My disciples?”’
22:12 And that one will show you a large upstairs-room having been spread [with furnishings]. Prepare it there”.
22:13 And having gone, they found it just as He had told them. And they prepared the Passover [meal].
22:14 And when the hour came, He fell back [to eat], and the apostles with Him.
22:15 And He said to them, “I greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer.
22:16 For I say to you that I will by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God”.
22:17 And having taken a cup, having given-thanks, He said “Take this and distribute it to yourselves.
22:18 For I say to you that I will by no means drink from the fruit of the grapevine from now on until which time the kingdom of God comes”.
22:19 And having taken bread, having given-thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying “This is My body, the one being given for you. Be doing this for My remembrance”.
22:20 And similarly the cup after the dining, saying “This cup is the new covenant in My blood— the blood being poured-out for you.
22:21 Yet behold— the hand of the one handing Me over is with Mine on the table!
22:22 Because the Son of Man is proceeding according-to the thing having been determined— nevertheless, woe to that man by whom He is being handed-over!”
22:23 And they began to discuss with themselves as to which of them then the one going to do this thing might be.
22:24 And a contention also took place among them as to which of them seems to be greater.
22:25 And the One said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are lording-over them. And the ones having-authority over them are calling-themselves ‘Benefactors’.
22:26 But you shall not be so. But let the greater one among you be like the younger one; and the one leading like the one serving.
22:27 For who is greater, the one reclining-back [to eat] or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining-back? But I am in your midst as the One serving!
22:28 But you are the ones having continued with Me in My trials.
22:29 And I am conferring you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred Me
22:30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 “Simon, Simon. Behold— Satan asked-for you all that he might sift you like wheat.
22:32 But I prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned-back, establish your brothers”.
22:33 But the one said to Him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with You even to prison and to death!”
22:34 And the One said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three-times that you know Me”.
22:35 And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag and [traveler’s] bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And the ones said, “Nothing”.
22:36 And He said to them, “But now let the one having a money-bag take it. Likewise also a [traveler’s] bag. And let the one not having one sell his cloak and buy a sword.
22:37 For I say to you that this [saying] having been written [in Isa 53:12] must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was counted with lawless ones’. For indeed the thing concerning Me has a fulfillment”.
22:38 And the ones said, “Lord, behold— here are two swords”. And the One said to them, “It is enough”.
22:39 And having gone out, He went in accordance with His custom to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples also, they followed Him.
22:40 And having come-to-be at the place, He said to them, “Be praying that you may not enter into temptation”.
22:41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw. And having put down His knees, He was praying,
22:42 saying “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet let not My will, but Yours be done”.
22:43 And an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
22:44 And having come-to-be in agony, He was praying more-fervently. And His sweat became like drops of blood going down upon the ground.
22:45 And having arisen from prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them being asleep because of grief.
22:46 And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having stood-up, be praying that you may not enter into temptation”.
22:47 While He was still speaking, behold— a crowd. And the one being called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them. And he drew-near to Jesus to kiss Him.
22:48 And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you handing-over the Son of Man with a kiss?”
22:49 And the ones around Him, having seen the thing which will happen, said “Lord, shall we strike with a sword?”
22:50 And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and took-off his right ear.
22:51 But having responded, Jesus said, “Allow up to this”. And having touched his ear, He healed him.
22:52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders having come against Him, “Did you come out with swords and clubs as-if against a robber?
22:53 Daily while I was being with you in the temple, you did not stretch-out your hands against Me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness”.
22:54 And having arrested Him, they led Him, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following at-a-distance.
22:55 And they having kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and having sat-down-together, Peter was sitting amidst them.
22:56 And a certain servant-girl, having seen him sitting toward the light, and having looked-intently at him, said “This one also was with Him”.
22:57 But the one denied it, saying “I do not know Him, woman”.
22:58 And after a short time, another man having seen him said, “You also are one of them”. But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
22:59 And about one hour having passed, a certain other man was insisting, saying “In accordance with truth, this one also was with Him, for he also is a Galilean”.
22:60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying”. And at-once, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
22:61 And having turned, the Lord looked-at Peter. And Peter was reminded of the word of the Lord— how He said to him that “Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three-times”.
22:63 And the men holding Him were mocking Him while beating Him.
22:64 And having covered Him, they were asking Him, saying “Prophesy— who is the one having hit You?”
22:65 And blaspheming, they were saying many other things against Him.
22:66 And when it became day, the Council-of-elders of the people was gathered together— both chief priests and scribes. And they led Him away to their council [chamber],
22:67 saying “If You are the Christ, tell us”. But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe.
22:68 And if I question you, you will by no means answer.
22:69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be sitting on the right side of the power of God”.
22:70 And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And the One said to them, “You are saying that I am”.
22:71 And the ones said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we ourselves heard it from His mouth”.
