Luke 16 - 22

The Parable of the Dishonest Manager

1 He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had j a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your k management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 And the manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' 5 So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6 He said, 'A hundred measures 1 of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures 2 of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 The master commended the dishonest manager for his l shrewdness. For m the sons of this world 3 are l more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than n the sons of light. 9 And I tell you, o make friends for yourselves by means of p unrighteous wealth, 4 so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

10 q "One who is r faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in s that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 p No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."

The Law and the Kingdom of God

14 t The Pharisees, who were u lovers of money, heard all these things, and they v ridiculed him. 15 And he said to them, "You are those who w justify yourselves before men, but x God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men y is an abomination in the sight of God.

16 z "The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then a the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and b everyone forces his way into it. 5 17 But c it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.

Divorce and Remarriage

18 d "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 "There was a rich man who was clothed in e purple and fine linen and f who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate g was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with h what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by i the angels j to Abraham's side. 6 The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in k Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and l saw Abraham far off and Lazarus j at his side. 24 And he called out, m 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and n cool my tongue, for o I am in anguish in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that p you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' 27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house - 28 for I have five brothers 7 - so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, 'They have q Moses and the Prophets; r let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, s father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear q Moses and the Prophets, t neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"

Luke 17

Temptations to Sin

1 And he said to his disciples, u "Temptations to sin 8 are v sure to come, but w woe to the one through whom they come! 2 x It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. 9 3 Pay attention to yourselves! y If your brother sins, z rebuke him, and if he repents, a forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you b seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."

Increase Our Faith

5 c The apostles said to the Lord, d "Increase our faith!" 6 And the Lord said, e "If you had faith like f a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this g mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Unworthy Servants

7 "Will any one of you who has a servant 10 plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and recline at table'? 8 Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and h dress properly, 11 and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are i unworthy servants; 12 we have only done what was our duty.'"

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 j On the way to Jerusalem k he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, 13 l who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." 14 When he saw them he said to them, "Go and m show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, n praising God with a loud voice; 16 and o he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was p a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, "Were not q ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and r give praise to God except this s foreigner?" 19 And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; t your faith has t made you well." 14

The Coming of the Kingdom

20 Being asked by the Pharisees u when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God v is not coming with signs to be observed, 21 nor w will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." 15

22 And he said to the disciples, x "The days are coming when you will desire y to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 z And they will say to you, 'Look, there!' or 'Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them. 24 a For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be b in his day. 16 25 But first c he must suffer many things and c be rejected by this generation. 26 d Just as it was in the days of e Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 f They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of g Lot - they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 h but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all - 30 so will it be i on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, j let the one who is on k the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 l Remember Lot's wife. 33 m Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will n keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 o There will be two women p grinding together. One will be taken and the other left." 17 37 And they said to him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, q "Where the corpse 18 is, there the vultures 19 will gather."

Luke 18

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought r always to pray and not s lose heart. 2 He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who t neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, u 'Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'" 6 And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And v will not God give justice to w his elect, x who cry to him day and night? y z Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them a speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, b will he find faith on earth?"

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

9 He also told this parable to some c who trusted d in themselves that they were righteous, e and treated others with contempt: 10 "Two men f went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, g standing by himself, prayed 20 h thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 i I fast twice a week; j I give tithes of all that I get.' 13 But the tax collector, g standing far off, k would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but l beat his breast, saying, 'God, m be merciful to me, a sinner!' 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For n everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Let the Children Come to Me

15 o Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they p rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, q "Let the children come to me, and r do not hinder them, q for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 s Truly, I say to you, whoever does not t receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

The Rich Ruler

18 u And a ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to v inherit eternal life?" 19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: w 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'" 21 And he said, x "All these I have kept from my youth." 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. y Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have z treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 23 a But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. 24 Jesus, seeing that he had become sad, said, b "How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter c the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter c the kingdom of God." 26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" 27 But he said, d "What is impossible with men is possible with God." 28 And Peter said, "See, e we have left our homes and followed you." 29 And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, f there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers 21 or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive g many times more h in this time, and in i the age to come eternal life."

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

31 j And taking the twelve, he said to them, "See, k we are going up to Jerusalem, and l everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. 32 For he will be m delivered over to the Gentiles and will be n mocked and shamefully treated and o spit upon. 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on p the third day he will rise." 34 q But they understood none of these things. r This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar

35 s As he drew near to Jericho, t a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, u "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." 38 And he cried out, "Jesus, v Son of David, have mercy on me!" 39 And those who were in front w rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41 x "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me recover my sight." 42 And Jesus said to him, "Recover your sight; y your faith has z made you well." 43 And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, a glorifying God. And b all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Luke 19

Jesus and Zacchaeus

1 c He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And d he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small of stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into e a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for f I must stay at your house today." 6 So he hurried and came down and g received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all h grumbled, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods i I give to the poor. And if I have j defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it k fourfold." 9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since l he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For m the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

The Parable of the Ten Minas

11 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because n they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 He said therefore, o "A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13 Calling p ten of his servants, 22 he gave them ten minas, 23 and said to them, 'Engage in business q until I come.' 14 But r his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.' 15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.' 17 And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant! 24 Because you have been s faithful in a very little, t you shall have authority over ten cities.' 18 And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made five minas.' 19 And he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.' 20 Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in u a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are v a severe man. You take w what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' 22 He said to him, x 'I will condemn you with your own words, y you wicked servant! You knew that I was v a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?' 24 And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.' 25 And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!' 26 'I tell you that z to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But r as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and a slaughter them before me.'"

The Triumphal Entry

28 And when he had said these things, b he went on ahead, c going up to Jerusalem. 29 d When he drew near to Bethphage and e Bethany, at f the mount that is called Olivet, he sent g two of the disciples, 30 saying, "Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, h on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say this: 'The Lord has need of it.'" 32 So those who were sent went away and found it i just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 And they said, "The Lord has need of it." 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they j spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near - already on the way down the Mount of Olives - k the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice l for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, m "Blessed is n the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and o glory in the highest!" 39 p And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." 40 He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, q the very stones would cry out."

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 r And when he drew near and saw the city, s he wept over it, 42 saying, t "Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now u they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For v the days will come upon you, when your enemies w will set up a barricade around you and x surround you and hem you in on every side 44 y and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And z they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know a the time of your b visitation."

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

45 c And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, "It is written, d 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but e you have made it a den of robbers."

47 f And he was teaching daily in the temple. g The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.

Luke 20

The Authority of Jesus Challenged

1 h One day, i as Jesus 25 was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, j the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up 2 and said to him, "Tell us k by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority." 3 He answered them, "I also will ask you a question. Now tell me, 4 was the baptism of John l from heaven or from man?" 5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, m 'Why did you not believe him?' 6 But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was n a prophet." 7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

9 o And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted p a vineyard and q let it out to tenants and r went into another country for a long while. 10 When the time came, he sent a servant 26 to the tenants, so that q they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. s But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 t And s he sent another servant. But they also beat and u treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 s And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my v beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.' 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, w 'This is the heir. x Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.' 15 And they y threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 z He will a come and destroy those tenants and b give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "Surely not!"

17 But he c looked directly at them and said, "What then is this that is written:
d "'The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone'? 27

18 e Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls f on anyone, it will crush him."

Paying Taxes to Caesar

19 h The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 i So they j watched him and sent spies, who k pretended to be sincere, that they might l catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of m the governor. 21 So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and o show no partiality, 28 but truly teach p the way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to give q tribute to r Caesar, or not?" 23 But he perceived their s craftiness, and said to them, 24 "Show me t a denarius. 29 Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's." 25 He said to them, "Then u render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people v to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

27 There came to him w some Sadducees, x those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28 and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us y that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man 30 must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."

34 And Jesus said to them, z "The sons of this age a marry and a are given in marriage, 35 but those who are b considered worthy to attain to c that age and to the resurrection from the dead d neither marry d nor are given in marriage, 36 for e they cannot die anymore, because they are f equal to angels and g are h sons of God, being i sons 31 of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, j even Moses showed, in k the passage about the bush, where he calls l the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all m live to him." 39 Then some of the scribes n answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well." 40 For o they no longer dared to ask him any question.

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 p But he said to them, "How can they say that q the Christ is q David's son?

42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,
r "'The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit at my right hand,
43 until I make your enemies s your footstool.'

44 David thus calls him Lord, so t how is he his son?"

Beware of the Scribes

45 u And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, 46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and v the places of honor at feasts, 47 w who devour widows' houses and x for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

Luke 21

The Widow's Offering

1 y Jesus 32 looked up and saw the rich z putting their gifts into a the offering box, 2 and he saw a poor widow put in two b small copper coins. 33 3 And he said, "Truly, I tell you, c this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her d poverty put in all e she had to live on."

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

5 f And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 "As for these things that you see, g the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." 7 And they asked him, "Teacher, h when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?" 8 And he said, i "See that you are not led astray. For j many will come in my name, saying, k 'I am he!' and, l 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be m terrified, for these things n must first take place, but the end will not be at once."

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

10 Then he said to them, o "Nation will rise against nation, and p kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great q earthquakes, and in various places r famines and pestilences. And there will be s terrors and great t signs from heaven. 12 But before all this u they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to v the synagogues and w prisons, and you x will be brought before y kings and z governors for my name's sake. 13 a This will be your opportunity to bear witness. 14 Settle it therefore in your minds b not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for c I will give you a mouth and d wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or e contradict. 16 You will be delivered up f even by parents and brothers 34 and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 g You will be hated by all for my name's sake. 18 But h not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your i endurance you will gain your lives.

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

20 "But j when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that k its desolation has come near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22 for these are l days of m vengeance, to fulfill n all that is written. 23 o Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and p wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and q be led captive among all nations, and r Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, s until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 "And t there will be signs in sun and moon u and stars, and on the earth v distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For w the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see x the Son of Man coming in a cloud y with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and z raise your heads, because a your redemption is drawing near."

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

29 And he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see b for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 c Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. 33 d Heaven and earth will pass away, but e my words will not pass away.

Watch Yourselves

34 "But watch yourselves f lest g your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and h cares of this life, and i that day come upon you suddenly j like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 But k stay awake at all times, l praying that you may m have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and n to stand before the Son of Man."

37 And o every day he was teaching in the temple, but p at night he went out and lodged on q the mount called Olivet. 38 And early in the morning o all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

Luke 22

The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 r Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called s the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes t were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas to Betray Jesus

3 u Then v Satan entered into w Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and x 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 y betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.

The Passover with the Disciples

7 z Then came a the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 So Jesus 35 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, b 'The Teacher says to you, Where is c the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' 12 And he will show you d a large upper room furnished; prepare it there." 13 And they went and found it e just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

14 f 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 36 g until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17 And he took a cup, and h when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 i For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine g until the kingdom of God comes." 19 j And he took bread, and h when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, k "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, k "This cup that is poured out for you is l the new m covenant in my blood. 37 21 n But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is o with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes p 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 q A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 r And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles s exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 t But not so with you. Rather, let s the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, u one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But v I am among you as the one who serves.

28 "You are those who have stayed with me w in my trials, 29 and x I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 y that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and z sit on thrones judging a the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, b Satan demanded to have you, 38 c that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but d I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, e strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter 39 said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both f to prison and g to death." 34 h Jesus 40 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, i "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 j this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: k 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For l what is written about me has its fulfillment." 38 And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two m swords." And he said to them, n "It is enough."

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 o And he came out and went, p as was his custom, to q the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 r And when he came to s the place, he said to them, t "Pray that you may not u enter into temptation." 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and v knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, w "Father, if you are willing, remove x this cup from me. y Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 43 And there appeared to him z an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And w being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 41 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 a pray that you may not enter into temptation."

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 b While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called c 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 d with the sword?" 50 And one of them struck the servant 42 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 e 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 f I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is g your hour, and h the power of darkness."

Peter Denies Jesus

54 i Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, j and Peter was following at a distance. 55 k And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of l 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 m 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 n looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, o "Before the rooster crows today, you will p deny me three times." 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Is Mocked

63 q Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64 q They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, r "Prophesy! r Who is it that struck you?" 65 And they said many other things against him, s blaspheming him.

Jesus Before the Council

66 t When day came, u the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their v council, and they w said, 67 x "If you are y 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 z at the right hand of the power of God." 70 So they all said, "Are you a the Son of God, then?" And he said to them, b "You say that I am." 71 Then they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips."
