Chapter 22 of Luke—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ Now the festival of the unfermented cakes, the so-called Passover,1 was getting near.
  2. Also, the chief priests and the scribes were seeking the effective way for them to get rid of him,2 for they were in fear of the people.3
  3. But Satan entered into Judas, the one called Is·carʹi·ot, who was numbered among the twelve;4
  4. and he went off and talked with the chief priests and [temple] captains about the effective way to betray him to them.5
  5. Well, they rejoiced and agreed to give him silver money.6
  6. So he consented, and he began to seek a good opportunity to betray him to them without a crowd around.7
  7. ¶ The day of the unfermented cakes now arrived, on which the passover [victim] must be sacrificed;8
  8. and he dispatched Peter and John, saying: “Go and get the passover ready9 for us to eat.”
  9. They said to him: “Where do you want us to get [it] ready?”
  10. He said to them:10 “Look! When YOU enter into the city a man carrying an earthenware vessel of water will meet YOU. Follow him into the house into which he enters.11
  11. And YOU must say to the landlord of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?”’12
  12. And that [man] will show YOU a large upper room furnished. Get [it] ready there.”13
  13. So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the passover ready.14
  14. ¶ At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.15
  15. And he said to them: “I have greatly desired to eat this passover with YOU before I suffer;
  16. for I tell YOU, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”16
  17. And, accepting a cup,17 he gave thanks and said: “Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
  18. for I tell YOU, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of God arrives.”18
  19. ¶ Also, he took a loaf,19 gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means[a] my body20 which is to be given in YOUR behalf.21 Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”22
  20. Also, the cup23 in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant24 by virtue of my blood,25 which is to be poured out in YOUR behalf.[b]26
  21. ¶ “But, look! the hand of my betrayer27 is with me at the table.28
  22. Because the Son of man is going his way according to what is marked out;29 all the same, woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”30
  23. So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about to do this.31
  24. ¶ However, there also arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them seemed to be greatest.32
  25. But he said to them: “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those having authority over them are called Benefactors.33
  26. YOU, though, are not to be that way.34 But let him that is the greatest among YOU become as the youngest,35 and the one acting as chief as the one ministering.[c]36
  27. For which one is greater, the one reclining at the table or the one ministering? Is it not the one reclining at the table? But I am in YOUR midst as the one ministering.37
  28. ¶ “However, YOU are the ones that have stuck38 with me in my trials;39
  29. and I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant40 with me, for a kingdom,41
  30. that YOU may eat42 and drink at my table in my kingdom,43 and sit on thrones44 to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
  31. ¶ “Simon, Simon, look! Satan45 has demanded to have YOU men to sift YOU as wheat.46
  32. But I have made supplication47 for you that your faith may not give out; and you, when once you have returned, strengthen48 your brothers.”
  33. Then he said to him: “Lord,[d] I am ready to go with you both into prison and into death.”49
  34. But he said: “I tell you, Peter, A cock will not crow today until you have three times denied knowing me.”50
  35. ¶ He also said to them: “When I sent51 YOU forth without purse and food pouch and sandals, YOU did not want for anything, did YOU?” They said: “No!”[e]
  36. Then he said to them: “But now let the one that has a purse take it up, likewise also a food pouch; and let the one having no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
  37. For I tell YOU that this which is written must be accomplished in me, namely, ‘And he was reckoned with lawless ones.’52 For that which concerns me is having an accomplishment.”53
  38. Then they said: “Lord,[f] look! here are two swords.” He said to them: “It is enough.”
  39. ¶ On going out he went as customarily to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.54
  40. Having come to the place he said to them: “Carry on prayer, that YOU do not enter into temptation.”55
  41. And he himself drew away from them about a stone’s throw, and bent his knees and began to pray,
  42. saying: “Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will,56 but yours take place.”57
  43. Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.58
  44. But getting into an agony he continued praying more earnestly;59 and his sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground.[g]60
  45. And he rose from prayer, went to the disciples and found them slumbering from grief;61
  46. and he said to them: “Why are YOU sleeping? Rise and carry on prayer, that YOU do not enter into temptation.”62
  47. ¶ While he was yet speaking, look! a crowd, and the [man] called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them;63 and he approached Jesus to kiss him.64
  48. But Jesus said to him: “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”65
  49. When those about him saw what was going to happen, they said: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”66
  50. A certain one of them even did strike the slave of the high priest and took off his right ear.67
  51. But in reply Jesus said: “LET it go as far as this.” And he touched the ear and healed him.68
  52. Jesus then said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and older men that had come there for him: “Did YOU come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?69
  53. While I was with YOU in the temple70 day after day YOU did not stretch out YOUR hands against me.71 But this is YOUR hour72 and the authority73 of darkness.”74
  54. ¶ Then they arrested him and led75 him off and brought him into the house of the high priest;76 but Peter was following at a distance.77
  55. When they lit a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter was sitting in among them.78
  56. But a certain servant girl saw him sitting by the bright fire and looked him over and said: “This man also was with him.”79
  57. But he denied80 it,[h] saying: “I do not know him, woman.”81
  58. And after a short time another person seeing him said: “You also are one of them.” But Peter said: “Man, I am not.”82
  59. And after about an hour intervened a certain other [man] began insisting strongly: “For a certainty this [man] also was with him; for, in fact, he is a Gal·i·leʹan!”83
  60. But Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And instantly, while he was yet speaking, a cock crowed.84
  61. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, and Peter recalled the utterance of the Lord when he said to him: “Before a cock crows today you will disown me three times.”85
  62. And he went outside and wept bitterly.86
  63. ¶ Now the men that had him[i] in custody began to make fun87 of him, hitting88 him;89
  64. and after covering him over they would ask and say: “Prophesy. Who is it that struck you?”90
  65. And they went on saying many other things in blasphemy91 against him.
  66. ¶ At length when it became day, the assembly of older men of the people, both chief priests and scribes, gathered together,92 and they haled him into their Sanʹhe·drin hall,[j] saying:93
  67. “If you are the Christ,94 tell us.” But he said to them: “Even if I told YOU, YOU would not believe it at all.95
  68. Moreover, if I questioned YOU, YOU would not answer at all.96
  69. However, from now on the Son of man97 will be sitting at the powerful right98 hand[k] of God.”99
  70. At this they all said: “Are you, therefore, the Son of God?” He said to them: “YOU yourselves are saying100 that I am.”
  71. They said: “Why do we need further witness?101 For we ourselves have heard [it] out of his own mouth.”102

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
