Chapter 22 of Luke—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ Now the feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
  2. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death; for they feared the people.
  3. ¶ Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve;
  4. he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.
  5. And they were glad, and engaged to give him money.
  6. So he agreed, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
  7. ¶ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
  8. So Jesus[a] 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 which he enters,
  11. and tell the householder, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?’
  12. And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.”
  13. And they went, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.
  14. ¶ And when the hour came, he sat 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 shall not eat it[b] 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 it among yourselves;
  18. for I tell you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
  19. And he took 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 likewise the cup after supper, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[c]
  21. But behold the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
  22. For the Son of man goes 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 was that would do this.
  24. ¶ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
  25. And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
  26. But not so with you; rather let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
  27. For which is the greater, one who sits at table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among you as one who serves.
  28. ¶ “You are those who have continued with me in my trials;
  29. and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,
  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, behold, Satan demanded to have you,[d] that he might sift you[e] like wheat,
  32. but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren.”
  33. And he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
  34. He said, “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you three times deny that you know me.”
  35. ¶ And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
  36. He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.
  37. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was reckoned with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfilment.”
  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 custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.
  40. And when he came to the place he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
  41. And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,
  42. “Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
  43. [f]
  44. [g]
  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 do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
  47. ¶ While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called 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 about him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
  50. And one of them struck the slave 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 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 I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
  54. ¶ Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance;
  55. and when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
  56. Then a maid, seeing him as he sat in the light and gazing 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 some one 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 insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.”
  60. But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.
  61. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times.”
  62. And he went out and wept bitterly.
  63. ¶ Now the men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him;
  64. they also blindfolded him and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
  65. And they spoke many other words against him, reviling him.
  66. ¶ When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council, and they said,
  67. “If you are 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 at the right hand of the power of God.”
  70. And they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.”
  71. And they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    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!
