- Chapter 22 -

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)
1
And the Celebration of the Unleavened [Bread] was coming near, that is called Passover,
2
and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take Him up, for they were afraid of the people.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)
3
And Satan entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve,
4
and he, having gone away, spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver Him up to them,
5
and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
6
and he agreed, and was seeking a favorable season to deliver Him up to them without tumult.

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)
7
And the day of the Unleavened [Bread] came, in which it was necessary [for] the Passover to be sacrificed,
8
and He sent Peter and John, saying, “Having gone on, prepare to us the Passover, that we may eat”;
9
and they said to Him, “Where do You will that we might prepare?”
10
And He said to them, “Behold, in your entering into the city, a man will meet you there, carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he goes in,
11
and you will say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?
12
And he will show you a large upper room furnished, make ready there”;
13
and they, having gone away, found as He has said to them, and they made the Passover ready.

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
14
And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him,
15
and He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering,
16
for I say to you that I may eat of it no longer until it may be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17
And having taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide to yourselves,
18
for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine until the Kingdom of God may come.”
19
And having taken bread, having given thanks, He broke and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, that is being given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.”
20
In like manner, also, the cup after the dining, saying, “This cup [is] the New Covenant in My blood, that is being poured forth for you.
21
But behold, the hand of him delivering Me up [is] with Me on the table,
22
and, indeed, the Son of Man goes according to what has been determined; but woe to that man through whom He is being delivered up.”
23
And they began to reason among themselves who then of them it may be who is about to do this thing.

Who Is the Greatest?

24
And there happened also a strife among them—who of them is accounted to be greater.
25
And He said to them, “The kings of the nations exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority on them are called benefactors;
26
but you [are] not so, but he who is greater among you—let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
27
for who is greater? He who is reclining, or he who is ministering? Is it not he who is reclining? And I am in your midst as He who is ministering.
28
And you are those who have remained with Me in My temptations,
29
and I appoint to you a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
30
that you may eat and may drink at My table, in My kingdom, and may 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)
31
And the LORD said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for himself to sift you as the wheat,
32
and I implored for you that your faith may not fail; and you, when you turned, strengthen your brothers.”
33
And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death”;
34
and He said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today, before you may disown knowing Me three times.”
35
And He said to them, “When I sent you without bag, and leather pouch, and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
36
Then He said to them, “But now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a leather pouch; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,
37
for I say to you that this which has been written is necessary to be accomplished in Me: And He was reckoned with lawless ones; for also the things concerning Me have an end.”
38
And they said, “Lord, behold, here [are] two swords”; and He said to them, “It is sufficient.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)
39
And having gone forth, He went on, according to custom, to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples also followed Him,
40
and having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray to not enter into temptation.”
41
And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone’s cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying,
42
saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done.”
43
And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him;
44
and having been in agony, He was more earnestly praying, and His sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling on the ground.
45
And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow,
46
and He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Having risen, pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)
47
And while He is speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was coming before them, and he came near to Jesus to kiss Him,
48
and Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49
And those around Him, having seen what was about to be, said to Him, “Lord, will we strike with a sword?”
50
And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
51
and Jesus answering said, “Permit thus far,” and having touched his ear, He healed him.
52
And Jesus said to those having come on Him—chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders, “Have you come forth with swords and sticks as on a robber?
53
While daily I was with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against Me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.”

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15–18)
54
And having taken Him, they led and brought Him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following far off,
55
and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,
56
and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, “And this one was with Him!”
57
And he disowned Him, saying, “Woman, I have not known Him.”
58
And after a while, another having seen him, said, “And you are of them!” And Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59
And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, “Of a truth this one also was with Him, for he is also a Galilean”;
60
and Peter said, “Man, I have not known what you say”; and immediately, while he is speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
And the LORD, having turned, looked on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the LORD, how He said to him, “Before a rooster will crow, you may disown Me three times”;
62
and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; John 19:1–15)
63
And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating [Him];
64
and having blindfolded Him, they were striking Him on the face, and were questioning Him, saying, “Prophesy who he is who struck You?”
65
And many other things, slandering, they spoke in regard to Him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)
66
And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led Him up to their own Sanhedrin,
67
saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I may tell you, you will not believe;
68
and if I also question [you], you will not answer Me or send Me away;
69
from now on, there will be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.”
70
And they all said, “You, then, are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say [it], because I AM”;
71
and they said, “What need do we have yet of testimony? For we ourselves heard [it] from His mouth.”

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)
1
Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
2
The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)
3
Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
4
He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5
They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6
He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)
7
The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.
8
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9
They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”
10
He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
11
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
He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
13
They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
14
When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.
15
He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
16
for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”
17
He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,
18
for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
19
He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”
20
Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
21
But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22
The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
23
They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

Who Is the Greatest?

24
A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
25
He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
26
But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
27
For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28
“But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
29
I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
30
that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will 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)
31
The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
32
but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.” (a)
33
He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34
He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
35
He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
36
Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
37
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ (b) For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”
38
They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)
39
He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.
40
When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
41
He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he 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
An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44
Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
46
and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)
47
While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
48
But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49
When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50
A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51
But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
52
Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your 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)
54
They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
55
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56
A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
57
He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
58
After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
59
After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
60
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
62
He 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)
63
The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.
64
Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
65
They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)
66
As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,
67
“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,
68
and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
69
From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70
They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
71
They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
