Luke 22:47–71

Judas Betrays Christ

Matt. 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–50; John 18:2–11

⁴⁷And while He was still speaking, ^tbehold, a multitude; and he who was called ^uJudas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a ^vkiss?”

⁴⁹When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” ⁵⁰And ^wone of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

^52xThen Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a ^yrobber, with swords and clubs? ⁵³When I was with you daily in the ^ztemple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your ^ahour, and the power of darkness.”

Peter Denies Christ

Matt 26:57, 58, 69–75; Mark 14:53, 54, 66–72; John 18:15–18, 25–27

^54bHaving arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. ^cBut Peter followed at a distance. ^55dNow when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. ⁵⁶And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”

⁵⁷But he denied ⁷Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

^58eAnd after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”

But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

^59fThen after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a ^gGalilean.”

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”

Immediately, while he was still speaking, ⁸the rooster crowed. ⁶¹And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then ^hPeter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ⁱ“Before the rooster ⁹crows, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶²So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

Christ is Beaten

Matt. 26:67, 68; Mark 14:65

^63jNow the men who held Jesus mocked Him and ^kbeat Him. ⁶⁴¹And having blindfolded Him, they ^lstruck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” ⁶⁵And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.

The Sanhedrin Tries Christ

Matt. 27:1; Mark 15:1

^66mAs soon as it was day, ⁿthe elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, ^67o“If You are the Christ, tell us.”

But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will ^pby no means believe. ⁶⁸And if I ²also ask you, you will by no means answer ³Me or let Me go. ^69qHereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

⁷⁰Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”

So He said to them, ^r“You rightly say that I am.”

^71sAnd they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”
