Luke 22:39-71

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 22:39-71

39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
40When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
41And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
42“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
44And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
46“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
47While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
48But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?
53Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
54Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
55When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
57But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
58A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
59About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
60“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
62And he went outside and wept bitterly.
63The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
64They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
65And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
66At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,
67“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
68And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”
71“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
