Luke 22

Chapter 22.

22 ¹Now di Feast of Bread Wey No Get Yeast, wey dem dey call Passover, don dey near. ²Di chief priests dem and di scribes dem dey find way to kill am, because dem dey fear di people.

³Then Satan enter inside Judas, di one wey dem dey call Iscariot, wey be one of di twelve. ⁴E go meet di chief priests dem and di temple officers dem, and dem talk how e go fit betray Jesus give dem. ⁵Dem happy well well, and dem gree to give am money. ⁶E gree, and e begin find better chance to betray am give dem for place wey crowd no dey.

Dem Prepare di Last Passover

⁷Then di day of Bread Wey No Get Yeast reach, wen dem suppose kill di Passover lamb.

⁸Jesus send Peter and John, e talk say, “Go prepare di Passover make we chop.”

⁹Dem ask am say, “Where you want make we prepare am?”

¹⁰E talk say, “As una enter di city, one man wey carry pot of water go meet una. Follow am go inside di house wey e enter,

¹¹“and tell di owner of di house, ‘Di Teacher talk say: Where di guest room dey wey I go fit chop di Passover with my disciples dem?’ ¹²And e go show una one big upper room wey dem don arrange; prepare am for there.”

¹³Dem go, and dem find am just as e don tell dem, and dem prepare di Passover.

¹⁴Wen di hour reach, e siddon for table, and di apostles dem with am.

¹⁵E tell dem, “I don want with all my belle to chop dis Passover with una before I go suffer. ¹⁶Because I dey tell una, I no go chop am again until e come fulfill for di kingdom of our Papa.” ¹⁷E carry cup, and e give thanks, e talk say, “Take dis one and share am among unasef. ¹⁸Because I dey tell una, from now go, I no go drink di fruit of di vine again until di kingdom of our Papa come.”

¹⁹E carry bread, e give thanks, e break am, and e give dem, e talk say, “Dis na my body, wey I give for una. Do dis one make una remember me.” ²⁰E do di same thing with di cup after dem don chop: “Dis cup na di new Covenant for my blood, wey dem pour out for una. ²¹But look—di hand of di one wey dey betray me dey with me here for di table. ²²The Pikin of Man dey go as dem don decide am, but trouble go dey for dat man wey dem take betray am!”

²³Dem begin ask each other which of dem go do dis thing.

²⁴Argument sef rise among dem about which of dem be di greatest.

²⁵E talk give dem say, “Kings of di nations dey rule dem by force, and di ones wey dey over dem, dem dey call dem people wey dey do good. ²⁶But e no go be so with una: make di greatest among una turn like di smallest, and di leader like di one wey dey serve. ²⁷Who big pass—di person wey siddon for table or di one wey dey serve? Na di one wey siddon, abi? But I dey among una as one wey dey serve.

²⁸“Una na di ones wey stand with me for my trials dem, ²⁹and I dey give una kingdom, just as my Papa give me one, ³⁰so that una go chop and drink for my table for my kingdom, and una go siddon for throne dem to judge di twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹“Simon, Simon, listen—Satan don ask to sift all of una like wheat, ³²but I don pray for you, so that your faith no go fail. Wen you don turn back come, strengthen your brothers dem.”

³³Peter talk say, “Oga, I ready to go with you go prison and even go death.”

³⁴Jesus talk say, “I dey tell you, Peter: di cock no go crow today before you deny three times say you know me.”

³⁵E ask dem, “Wen I send una go without money bag, without knapsack, or sandal, una lack anything?” Dem talk say, “Nothing.”

³⁶E talk give dem say, “But now, make di one wey get money bag carry am, and knapsack too. Make di one wey no get sword sell im cloth and buy one. ³⁷Because I dey tell una say dis Scripture must fulfill for me: ‘Dem count am among sinners dem.’ Because wetin dem write about me dey come true.”

³⁸Dem talk say, “Oga, look, two sword dey here.” E talk give dem say, “E don do.”

The Pikin Surrender Imsef to di Papa

³⁹And e comot go, as e dey always do, to di Mount of Olives, and di disciples dem follow am.

⁴⁰Wen e reach di place, e tell dem, “Pray make una no gree fall inside temptation.”

⁴¹And e comot small from dem, like the distance wey person fit throw stone reach, and e kneel down and pray,

⁴²e talk say, “Papa, if you gree, take dis cup comot from me. But no be my own wish, na your own, make e happen.”

⁴³And one angel from heaven appear to am, dey strengthen am. ^a a v43 Verse 43-44 no dey inside some early manuscripts dem. Dem print am here, as e dey for most modern Bibles dem. ⁴⁴For deep agony, e pray more strong; im sweat come turn like big drops of blood wey dey fall for ground.

⁴⁵Wen e rise from prayer, e come meet di disciples dem and e find dem dey sleep because of sorrow,

⁴⁶e talk give dem say, “Why una dey sleep? Wake up and pray, so that una no go fall inside temptation.”

Dem Betray Am With Kiss

⁴⁷As e still dey talk, one crowd come, and di one wey dem dey call Judas, one of di twelve, dey lead dem. E come near Jesus to kiss am,

⁴⁸but Jesus talk give am say, “Judas, you wan take kiss betray The Pikin of Man?”

⁴⁹Wen di ones wey dey with am see wetin wan happen, dem talk say, “Oga, make we strike with sword?” ⁵⁰And one of dem strike di servant of di high priest and cut off im right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus answer say, “No do dis kind thing again!” And e touch di ear and heal am. ⁵²Then Jesus talk give di chief priests dem, di temple officers dem, and di elders dem wey come out against am, “Una come out with sword and club, like say na thief una dey pursue? ⁵³Every day I dey with una for di temple, and una no put hand for me. But dis na una hour, and di authority of darkness.”

Peter Deny Say E No Know Jesus

⁵⁴Dem catch am, dem lead am and carry am enter di house of di high priest; Peter follow from far. ⁵⁵Dem light fire for di middle of di compound and dem siddon together; Peter siddon among dem. ⁵⁶But one servant girl see am dey siddon dey face di light, e look am well well and e talk say, “Dis one too dey with am.”

⁵⁷But e deny am, e talk say, “Woman, I no know am.”

⁵⁸Small time after, another person see am and talk say, “You too na one of dem.” But Peter talk say, “Man, I no be.”

⁵⁹Like one hour after, another person insist say, “For true dis man dey with am, because e be Galilean too.”

⁶⁰But Peter talk say, “Man, I no know wetin you dey talk.” Immediately, as e still dey talk, di cock crow. ⁶¹Di Oga turn and look Peter. Peter remember wetin di Oga don tell am: “Before di cock crow today, you go deny me three times.” ⁶²And e comot go outside and e cry bitterly.

⁶³Now di men dem wey dey hold Jesus dey mock am as dem dey beat am. ⁶⁴Dem cover im eye and dem dey ask am, “Prophesy! Na who strike you?” ⁶⁵And dem talk plenty other things against am, dey insult am.

Jesus Stand Before di Council

⁶⁶For early morning, di council of elders of di people gather—chief priests dem and scribes dem—and dem lead am go to dia council, dem talk say,

⁶⁷“If you be di Christ, tell us.” E talk give dem say, “If I tell una, una no go believe,

⁶⁸“and if I ask una, una no go answer.

⁶⁹“But from now go, The Pikin of Man go siddon for di right hand of di power of our Papa.”

⁷⁰Dem all talk say, “So you be The Pikin of God?” E talk give dem say, “Na una talk say I be.”

⁷¹Dem talk say, “Wetin be di other testimony wey we need again? Because wesef don hear am from im own mouth.”
