LUKAS 22

1 EN tdie fees van die ongesuurde brode, wat pasga genoem word, was naby.

2 En die owerpriesters en die skrifgeleerdes het gesoek hoe hulle Hom kon ombring, want hulle het die volk gevrees.

3  tEn die tSatan het in Judas gevaar, wat Iskáriot genoem word en wat uit die getal van die twaalf was.

4 Toe het hy gegaan en met die owerpriesters en thoofde beraadslaag hoe hy Hom aan hulle kon oorlewer.

5 En hulle was bly en het met hom ooreengekom om hom geld te gee.

6 En hy het toegestem en na ’n goeie geleentheid gesoek om Hom sonder oproer aan hulle oor te lewer.

Die laaste paasfees. Die heilige nagmaal.

(Mt. 26:17-30 en ooreenk. pl.)

7  tEN die dag van die ongesuurde brode het gekom waarop die pasga geslag moes word.

8 Toe stuur Hy Petrus en Johannes en sê: Gaan berei die pasga vir ons, dat ons dit kan eet.

9 En hulle sê vir Hom: Waar wil U hê moet ons dit berei?

10 En Hy antwoord hulle: Kyk, as julle in die stad ingaan, sal ’n man julle ontmoet wat ’n kruik water dra; volg hom na die huis waar hy ingaan.

11 En julle moet vir die eienaar van die huis sê: Die Meester vra u — waar is die kamer waar Ek die pasga met my dissipels kan eet?

12 En hy sal julle ’n groot bovertrek wys wat reggemaak is; daar moet julle dit berei.

13 En hulle het gegaan en dit gevind soos Hy vir hulle gesê het, en die pasga berei.

14 En toe die uur kom, thet Hy aan tafel gegaan en die twaalf apostels saam met Hom.

15 En Hy sê vir hulle: Ek het baie sterk daarna verlang om hierdie pasga met julle te eet voordat Ek ly.

16 Want Ek sê vir julle: Ek sal sekerlik nie meer daarvan eet tvoordat dit in tdie koninkryk van God vervul is nie.

17 En toe Hy ’n beker geneem het, dank Hy en sê: Neem dit en deel dit onder julle.

18  tWant Ek sê vir julle: Ek sal sekerlik nie drink van die vrug van die wynstok voordat die koninkryk van God gekom het nie.

19  tDaarop neem Hy brood, en nadat Hy gedank het, breek Hy dit en gee dit aan hulle en sê: Dit is my liggaam wat vir julle gegee word; tdoen dit tot my gedagtenis.

20 Net so neem Hy ook die beker ná die maaltyd en sê: Hierdie beker is die nuwe testament in my bloed wat vir julle uitgestort word.

21 Maar kyk, tdie hand van hom wat My verraai, is by My aan tafel.

22 Die Seun van die mens gaan wel heen volgens wat bepaal is, maar wee daardie man deur wie Hy verraai word!

23 Toe begin hulle onder mekaar te vra wie van hulle dit tog kon wees wat dit sou doen.

Die grootste sal die kleinste wees.

(Mt. 20:25-28 en ooreenk. pl.)

24  tEN daar het ook twis onder hulle ontstaan oor wie van hulle die grootste geag moet wees.

25  tEn Hy het vir hulle gesê: Die konings van die nasies heers oor hulle, en die wat gesag voer oor hulle, word weldoeners genoem.

26 Maar so moet julle nie wees nie; tmaar die oudste onder julle moet word soos die jongste, en wie ’n leier is, tsoos een wat dien.

27 Want wie is groter: die een wat aan tafel is, of die een wat dien? Is dit nie hy wat aan tafel is nie? Maar Ek is onder julle soos een wat dien.

28 En dit is julle wat altyddeur by My gebly het in tmy versoekinge.

29 En Ek beskik vir julle ’n tkoninkryk soos my Vader dit vir My beskik het,

30 sodat tjulle kan eet en drink aan my tafel in my koninkryk en top trone sit om die twaalf stamme van Israel te oordeel.

Petrus word gewaarsku.

(Mt. 26:33-35 en ooreenk. pl.)

31 EN die Here sê: Simon, Simon, kyk, die tSatan het vurig begeer om julle soos koring te sif.

32 Maar tEk het vir jou gebid, dat jou geloof nie ophou nie; en as jy eendag tbekeerd is, tmoet jy jou broeders versterk.

33 En hy het vir Hom gesê: tHere, ek is gereed om saam met U selfs in die gevangenis en tin die dood te gaan.

34  tMaar Hy antwoord: Ek sê vir jou, Petrus, die haan sal vannag nie kraai voordat jy drie maal geloën het dat jy My ken nie.

Die twee swaarde.

35 EN Hy sê vir hulle: tToe Ek julle uitgestuur het sonder tbeurs en reissak en skoene, het julle iets kortgekom? En hulle antwoord: Niks nie.

36 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: Maar nou, wie ’n beurs het, laat hom dit neem en so ook die reissak; en wie dit nie het nie, moet sy kleed verkoop en ’n swaard koop.

37 Want Ek sê vir julle dat dit wat geskrywe is, nog aan My vervul moet word: tEn Hy is saam met misdadigers gereken. Want ook aan die dinge wat betrekking het op My, tkom daar ’n einde.

38 Hulle sê vir Hom: Here, kyk hier is twee swaarde. En Hy antwoord hulle: Dit is genoeg.

Jesus in Getsémané.

(Mt. 26:36-46 en ooreenk. pl.)

39  tEN Hy het vertrek en volgens gewoonte na die Olyfberg gegaan. En ook sy dissipels het Hom gevolg.

40 En toe Hy top die plek kom, sê Hy vir hulle: Bid dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie.

41 En Hy het Hom van hulle afgesonder omtrent so ver as ’n mens met ’n klip kan gooi, en neergekniel en gebid

42 en gesê: Vader, as U tog maar hierdie beker van My wil wegneem! Laat nogtans nie my wil nie, maar u wil geskied!

43 En ’n engel uit die hemel het aan Hom verskyn en Hom versterk.

44 En toe Hy in ’n sware stryd kom, het Hy tmet groter inspanning gebid, en sy sweet het geword soos bloeddruppels wat op die grond val.

45 Toe staan Hy van die gebed op en kom by sy dissipels en vind hulle aan die slaap van droefheid.

46 En Hy sê vir hulle: Wat slaap julle? Staan op en tbid, dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie.

Jesus word gevange geneem.

(Mt. 26:47-56 en ooreenk. pl.)

47  tEN terwyl Hy nog spreek, kom daar ’n skare; en hy wat Judas genoem word, een van die twaalf, het voor hulle uit geloop en nader gekom na Jesus om Hom te soen.

48 En Jesus sê vir hom: Judas, verraai jy die Seun van die mens met ’n kus?

49 En toe die wat rondom Hom was, sien wat gaan gebeur, sê hulle vir Hom: Here, moet ons met tdie swaard slaan?

50 En een van hulle het die dienskneg van die hoëpriester getref en sy regteroor afgekap.

51 Maar Jesus het geantwoord en gesê: Hou op, dit is genoeg! En Hy het sy oor taangeraak en hom gesond gemaak.

52 Toe sê Jesus vir die owerpriesters en thoofde van die tempel en ouderlinge wat teen Hom gekom het: Het julle uitgetrek soos teen ’n rower met swaarde en stokke?

53 Dag vir dag was Ek saam met julle in die tempel, en julle het nie die hande teen My uitgesteek nie. Maar dit is tjulle uur en tdie mag van die duisternis.

Petrus verloën Jesus.

(Mt. 26:69-75 en ooreenk. pl.)

54  tEN hulle het Hom gevange geneem en weggelei en Hom gebring in die huis van die hoëpriester. tEn Petrus het van ver af gevolg.

55  tEn toe hulle ’n vuur in die middel van tdie binneplaas van die paleis gemaak en bymekaar gaan sit het, het Petrus onder hulle gesit.

56 En ’n diensmeisie het hom daar by die vuur sien sit; en nadat sy hom vas aangekyk het, sê sy: Hierdie man was ook saam met Hom.

57 Maar hy het Hom verloën en gesê: Vrou, ek ken Hom nie.

58 En kort daarna sien iemand anders hom en sê: Jy is ook een van hulle. Maar Petrus sê: Man, ek is nie.

59 En ná verloop van omtrent een uur het ’n ander een dit verseker en gesê: Sowaar, hierdie man was ook saam met Hom, want hy is ook ’n Galiléër.

60 Maar Petrus antwoord: Man, ek weet nie wat jy sê nie. En onmiddellik, terwyl hy nog praat, het die haan gekraai.

61 En die Here het Hom omgedraai en Petrus aangekyk, en Petrus het die woord van die Here onthou wat Hy vir hom gesê het: tVoordat die haan kraai, sal jy My drie maal verloën.

62 En Petrus het buitentoe gegaan en bitterlik geween.

Jesus voor die Sánhedrin.

(Mt. 26:57-68 en ooreenk. pl.)

63  tEN die manne wat Jesus gevange gehou het, het Hom bespot en geslaan.

64 En hulle het Hom geblinddoek en Hom in die aangesig geslaan en Hom gevra en gesê: Profeteer wie dit is wat U geslaan het.

65 En baie ander dinge het hulle lasterlik teen Hom gespreek.

66 En toe dit dag word, het die oudstes van die volk — die owerpriesters en skrifgeleerdes — vergader en Hom voor hulle Raad gebring

67 en gesê: As U die Christus is, sê vir ons. En Hy antwoord hulle: As Ek vir u sê, sal u tog nie glo nie.

68 En as Ek vra, sal u My tog nie antwoord of loslaat nie.

69 Van nou af sal die Seun van die mens tsit aan die regterhand van die krag van God.

70 En hulle sê almal: Is U dan tdie Seun van God? En Hy antwoord hulle: tU sê dat Ek dit is.
71 Daarop sê hulle: Wat het ons nog getuienis nodig! Want ons het dit self uit sy mond gehoor.

Luke 22

1  NOW THE Festival of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover.2  And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to do away with [Jesus], for they feared the people.3  But [then] Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve [apostles].4  And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him and deliver Him up to them.5  And they were delighted and pledged [themselves] to give him money.6  So he agreed [to this], and sought an opportunity to betray Him to them [without an uprising] in the absence of the throng.7  Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover [lamb] had to be slain. 8  So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, that we may eat it.9  They said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare [it]?10  He said to them, Behold, when you have gone into the city, a man carrying an earthen jug or pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,11  And say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover [meal] with My disciples?12  And he will show you a large room upstairs, furnished [with carpets and with couches properly spread]; there make [your] preparations.13  And they went and found it [just] as He had said to them; and they made ready the Passover [supper].14  And when the hour came, [Jesus] reclined at table, and the apostles with Him.15  And He said to them, I have earnestly and intensely desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;16  For I say to you, I shall eat it no more until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.17  And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said, Take this and divide and distribute it among yourselves;18  For I say to you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine at all until the kingdom of God comes.19  Then He took a loaf [of bread], and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and gave it to them saying, This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.20  And in like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament or covenant [ratified] in My blood, which is shed (poured out) for you.21  But, behold, the hand of him who is now engaged in betraying Me is with Me on the table. 22  For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined and appointed, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed and delivered up!23  And they began to inquire among themselves which of them it was who was about to do this. 24  Now an eager contention arose among them [as to] which of them was considered and reputed to be the greatest.25  But Jesus said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are deified by them and exercise lordship [ruling as emperor-gods] over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors and well-doers.26  But this is not to be so with you; on the contrary, let him who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who is the chief and leader like one who serves.27  For who is the greater, the one who reclines at table (the master), or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am in your midst as One Who serves.28  And you are those who have remained [throughout] and persevered with Me in My trials;29  And as My Father has appointed a kingdom and conferred it on Me, so do I confer on you [the privilege and decree],30  That you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.31  Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain, 32  But I have prayed especially for you [Peter], that your [own] faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren.33  And [Simon Peter] said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death.34  But Jesus said, I tell you, Peter, before a [single] cock shall crow this day, you will three times [utterly] deny that you know Me.35  And He said to them, When I sent you out with no purse or [provision] bag or sandals, did you lack anything? They answered, Nothing!36  Then He said to them, But now let him who has a purse take it, and also [his provision] bag; and let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy a sword.37  For I tell you that this Scripture must yet be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted and classed among the wicked (the outlaws, the criminals); for what is written about Me has its fulfillment [has reached its end and is finally settled]. 38  And they said, Look, Lord! Here are two swords. And He said to them, It is enough.39  And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.40  And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation.41  And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt down and prayed,42  Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.43  And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit.44  And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.45  And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,46  And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation.47  And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him,48  But Jesus said to him, Judas! Would you betray and deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?49  And when those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?50  And one of them struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear, the right one.51  But Jesus said, Permit them to go so far [as to seize Me]. And He touched the little (insignificant) ear and healed him.52  Then Jesus said to those who had come out against Him--the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders [of the Sanhedrin]--Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber?53  When I was with you day after day in the temple [enclosure], you did not stretch forth [your] hands against Me. But this is your hour--and the power [which] darkness [gives you has its way].54  Then they seized Him and led Him away, bringing Him into the house of the high priest. Peter was following at a distance.55  And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were seated together, Peter sat among them.56  Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and gazing [intently] at him, said, This man too was with Him.57  But he denied it and said, Woman, I do not know Him!58  And a little later someone else saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not!59  And when about an hour more had elapsed, still another emphatically insisted, It is the truth that 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 instantly, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.61  And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter recalled the Lord’s words, how He had told him, Before the cock crows today, you will deny Me thrice.62  And he went out and wept bitterly [that is, with painfully moving grief].63  Now the men who had Jesus in custody treated Him with contempt and scoffed at and ridiculed Him and beat Him;64  They blindfolded Him also and asked Him, Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?65  And they said many other evil and slanderous and insulting words against Him, reviling Him.66  As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led Him into their council (the Sanhedrin), and they said,67  If You are the Christ (the Messiah), tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe (trust in, cleave to, and rely on what I say),68  And if I question you, you will not answer.69  But hereafter (from this time on), the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 70  And they all said, You are the Son of God, then? And He said to them, It is just as you say; I AM.71  And they said, What further evidence do we need? For we have heard [it] ourselves from His own mouth!
