Luke 22:41-71 ▼

41 And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone’s cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying,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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.”
