22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
22:2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.
22:3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
22:4 And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.
22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
22:6 And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
22:7 And the day of unleavened bread came on which the passover must be sacrificed.
22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.
22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?
22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.
22:11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
22:12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.
22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
22:16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
22:17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
22:18 for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
22:19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
22:20 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.
22:21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22:22 For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!
22:23 And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
22:24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.
22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.
22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
22:27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.
22:28 But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;
22:29 and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,
22:30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
22:32 but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.
22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.
22:36 And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
22:37 For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.
22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
