LUKAS 22

Jesus se dood word beplan

(Matt. 26:1-5,14-16; Mark. 14:1-2,10-11; Joh. 11:45-53)

1 Die fees van die ongesuurde brood, wat pasga genoem word, was naby. 2 Die priesterhoofde en die skrifgeleerdes wou Jesus uit die weg ruim, maar omdat hulle bang was vir die volk, het hulle nog gesoek na 'n manier om dit te doen.

3 Die Satan het in Judas, wat Iskariot genoem is en een van die twaalf was, ingevaar. 4 Hy het toe met die priesterhoofde en die offisiere van die tempelwag gaan praat oor hoe hy Jesus in hulle hande kan laat kom. 5 Hulle was bly en het ooreengekom om hom daarvoor te betaal. 6 Hy het ingestem en na 'n geskikte geleentheid gesoek om Jesus te verraai waar die volk nie by is nie.

Die paasmaaltyd word gereed gemaak

(Matt. 26:17-25; Mark. 14:12-21; Joh. 13:21-30)

7 Die dag van die ongesuurde brood, waarop die paaslam geslag moes word, het aangebreek. 8 Jesus stuur toe vir Petrus en Johannes vooruit met die opdrag: “Gaan berei die paasmaaltyd vir ons voor dat ons dit kan eet.”

9 Hulle vra Hom: “Waar wil U hê moet ons dit voorberei?”

10 Toe antwoord Hy hulle: “Kyk, net soos julle die stad ingaan, sal 'n man wat 'n kruik water dra, julle ontmoet. Gaan saam met hom tot in die huis waar hy ingaan, 11 en sê vir die eienaar van die huis: ‘Ons Leermeester vra u: Waar is die kamer waar Ek met my dissipels die paasmaaltyd kan eet?’ 12 En hy sal julle 'n groot bovertrek wys wat klaar daarvoor ingerig is. Daar moet julle dit voorberei.”

13 Hulle het gegaan en dit gekry net soos Jesus vir hulle gesê het, en die paasmaaltyd voorberei.

Die instelling van die nagmaal

(Matt. 26:26-30; Mark. 14:22-26; 1 Kor. 11:23-25)

14 Toe dit tyd was, het Jesus aan tafel gegaan en die apostels saam met Hom. 15 Hy sê toe vir hulle: “Ek het baie daarna uitgesien om hierdie paasmaaltyd saam met julle te eet voordat Ek ly. 16 Ek sê vir julle: Ek sal dit nie weer eet voordat dit in die koninkryk van God sy volle betekenis gekry het nie.”

17 Daarna neem Hy 'n beker, spreek die dankgebed uit en sê: “Neem dit en gee dit vir mekaar aan. 18 Ek sê vir julle: Ek sal van nou af nie weer wyn drink voordat die koninkryk van God gekom het nie.”

19 Toe neem Hy brood, spreek die dankgebed uit, breek dit en gee dit vir hulle met die woorde: “Dit is my liggaam wat vir julle gegee word. Gebruik dit tot my gedagtenis.”

20 Met die beker na die maaltyd het Hy net so gemaak en gesê: “Hierdie beker is die nuwe verbond, beseël deur my bloed, wat vir julle vergiet word.

21 “Maar kyk, die hand van die man wat My verraai, is saam met Myne hier op die tafel. 22 Met die Seun van die mens sal dit gaan soos dit voorbeskik is, maar wee die man deur wie Hy verraai word!”

23 Toe begin hulle mekaar uitvra wie van hulle dit kon wees wat so iets sou doen.

Die ware grootheid

(Vgl. Matt. 20:24-28; Mark. 9:30-37; 10:41-45; Joh. 13:4-5,12-17)

24 Daar het onenigheid onder hulle ontstaan oor wie van hulle as die belangrikste beskou moet word. 25 Maar Jesus sê vir hulle: “By die nasies is dit so: konings speel oor hulle baas, en dié wat gesag afdwing, laat hulleself weldoeners noem. 26 Maar by julle moet dit nie so wees nie. Inteendeel, die belangrikste onder julle moet soos die geringste wees, en die een wat die leier is, soos die een wat dien. 27 Wie is die belangrikste: die een wat aan tafel is, of die een wat bedien? Tog hy wat aan tafel is, nie waar nie? Maar Ek is in julle kring soos die een wat dien.

28 “Julle is die mense wat in my beproewings altyddeur by My gebly het. 29 Net soos my Vader 'n koninkryk aan My bemaak het, so bemaak Ek 'n koninkryk aan julle, 30 sodat julle in my koninkryk aan my tafel kan eet en drink en op trone kan sit om oor die twaalf stamme van Israel te regeer.”

Petrus sal Jesus verloën

(Matt. 26:31-35; Mark. 14:27-31; Joh. 13:36-38)

31 “Simon, Simon!” het Jesus gesê. “Luister! Die Satan het daarop aangedring om julle soos koring te sif. 32 Maar Ek het vir jou gebid dat jou geloof jou nie begewe nie. As jy weer tot inkeer gekom het, moet jy jou broers versterk.”

33 Petrus sê vir Hom: “Here, ek is bereid om saam met U selfs gevangenskap en dood in te gaan.”

34 Maar Hy antwoord: “Petrus, Ek sê vir jou: Die haan sal vannag nie kraai voordat jy My drie maal verloën het deur te sê dat jy My nie ken nie.”

Die stryd kom

35 Verder het Jesus vir hulle gesê: “Toe Ek julle uitgestuur het sonder beursie en reissak en skoene, het julle iets kortgekom?” “Nee, niks nie!” was hulle antwoord.

36 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: “Maar nou, wie 'n beursie het, moet dit saamneem, en net so ook 'n reissak. En wie nie 'n swaard het nie, moet van sy klere verkoop en een aanskaf. 37 Ek sê vir julle: Die Skrifwoord wat sê: ‘En Hy is as misdadiger beskou,’t moet aan My bewaarheid word, want wat op My betrekking het, gaan nou in vervulling.”

38 Hulle sê toe: “Here, kyk hier is twee swaarde.” “Ons laat dit daarby,” antwoord Hy hulle.

Jesus in Getsemane

(Matt. 26:36-46; Mark. 14:32-42)

39 Jesus het die stad verlaat en volgens gewoonte Olyfberg toe gegaan, en sy dissipels het Hom gevolg. 40 Toe Hy op die plek aankom, sê Hy vir hulle: “Bid dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie.”

41 Hy het Hom toe van hulle afgesonder omtrent so ver as 'n mens met 'n klip kan gooi. Daar het Hy gekniel en gebid: 42 “Vader, as U wil, neem tog hierdie lydensbeker van My af weg. Laat nogtans nie my wil nie maar u wil geskied!”

43 'n Engel uit die hemel het aan Hom verskyn en Hom versterk. 44 Hy het in doodsangs geraak en het nog ernstiger gebid. Sy sweet het soos bloeddruppels geword wat op die grond val.

45 Toe Hy van die gebed opstaan en by die dissipels kom, kry Hy hulle aan die slaap, uitgeput van droefheid. 46 Hy sê toe vir hulle: “Waarom slaap julle? Staan op en bid, sodat julle nie in versoeking kom nie.”

Jesus word gevange geneem

(Matt. 26:47-56; Mark. 14:43-50; Joh. 18:3-11)

47 Terwyl Jesus nog praat, kom 'n klomp mense daar aan. Die een wat Judas genoem is, een van die twaalf, het hulle gelei en nader gekom na Jesus toe om Hom te soen. 48 Maar Jesus sê vir hom: “Judas, verraai jy die Seun van die mens met 'n soen?”

49 Toe dié wat saam met Jesus was, sien wat gaan gebeur, vra hulle: “Here, moet ons hulle met die swaard aanval?”

50 Een van hulle slaan toe na die slaaf van die hoëpriester en kap sy regteroor af. 51 Maar Jesus sê: “Hou op daarmee!” Daarna het Hy die oor aangeraak en hom genees.

52 Toe sê Jesus vir die priesterhoofde, die offisiere van die tempelwag en die familiehoofde wat teen Hom opgetrek het: “Trek julle met swaarde en stokke uit soos teen 'n rower? 53 Dag vir dag was Ek saam met julle in die tempel, en julle het nie 'n hand uitgesteek om My te vang nie. Maar nou dat die tyd vir die duistere magte daar is, het julle julle kans.”

Petrus verloën Jesus

(Matt. 26:57-58,69-75; Mark. 14:53-54,66-72; Joh. 18:12-18,25-27)

54 Hulle het Jesus toe gevange geneem en Hom weggelei en in die huis van die hoëpriester gebring. Petrus het op 'n afstand agterna gekom. 55 In die middel van die binneplaas was daar 'n vuur, en daar het mense bymekaar gesit. Petrus het tussen hulle gaan sit. 56 'n Diensmeisie wat hom in die skynsel van die vuur sien sit het, het hom goed bekyk en gesê: “Dié een was ook saam met daardie man.”

57 Maar Petrus het dit ontken deur te sê: “Juffrou, ek ken Hom nie!”

58 'n Rukkie later sien iemand anders hom en sê: “Jy is mos ook een van hulle.” Maar Petrus antwoord: “Man, ek is nie!”

59 Na verloop van sowat 'n uur het nog een met beslistheid beweer: “Sowaar, dié een was ook saam met daardie man. Hy is mos ook 'n Galileër!”

60 Maar Petrus sê: “Man, ek weet nie waarvan jy praat nie!” En onmiddellik, terwyl hy nog praat, het daar 'n haan gekraai.

61 Die Here het omgedraai en Petrus aangekyk. Toe val dit Petrus by wat die Here vir hom gesê het: “Voordat die haan vannag kraai, sal jy My drie maal verloën.” 62 En Petrus het buitentoe gegaan en bitterlik gehuil.

Jesus word bespot

(Matt. 26:67-68; Mark. 14:65)

63 Die manne wat vir Jesus bewaak het, het aangehou om met Hom die spot te dryf en Hom te slaan. 64 Hulle het Hom geblinddoek en gesê: “Jy is mos 'n profeet! Sê wie het jou geslaan!”

65 En nog baie ander godslasterlike dinge het hulle Hom toegesnou.

Jesus voor die Joodse Raad

(Matt. 26:59-66; Mark. 14:55-64; Joh. 18:19-24)

66 Toe dit dag word, het die Raad van die volk — die priesterhoofde en die skrifgeleerdes — vergader en Jesus voor hulle laat bring.

67 Hulle sê toe: “As jy die Christus is, sê dit vir ons.” Maar Hy antwoord hulle: “Al sou Ek dit vir julle sê, sal julle tog nie glo nie;

68 en al sou Ek vir julle 'n vraag stel, sal julle ook nie antwoord nie. 69 Maar van nou af sal die Seun van die mens aan die regterhand van die almagtige God sit.”

70 Toe vra hulle almal: “Dan is jy die Seun van God?” Hy sê vir hulle: “Dit is soos julle sê: Ek is!”

71 Daarop sê hulle: “Waarvoor het ons dan nog getuienis nodig? Ons het dit mos uit sy eie 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!
