1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.
1 Y ESTABA cerca el día de la fiesta de los ázimos, que se llama la Pascua.
2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.
2 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas buscaban cómo le matarían; mas tenían miedo del pueblo.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
3 Y entró Satanás en Judas, por sobrenombre Iscariote, el cual era uno del número de los doce;
4 And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.
4 Y fué, y habló con los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y con los magistrados, de cómo se lo entregaría.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
5 Los cuales se holgaron, y concertaron de darle dinero.
6 And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.
6 Y prometió, y buscaba oportunidad para entregarle á ellos sin bulla.
7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.
7 Y vino el día de los ázimos, en el cual era necesario matar la pascua.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.
8 Y envió á Pedro y á Juan, diciendo: Id, aparejadnos la pascua para que comamos.
9 But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?
9 Y ellos le dijeron: ¿Dónde quieres que aparejemos?
10 And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.
10 Y él les dijo: He aquí cuando entrareis en la ciudad, os encontrará un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua: seguidle hasta la casa donde entrare,
11 And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?
11 Y decid al padre de la familia de la casa: El Maestro te dice: ¿Dónde está el aposento donde tengo de comer la pascua con mis discípulos?
12 And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.
12 Entonces él os mostrará un gran cenáculo aderezado; aparejad allí.
13 And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.
13 Fueron pues, y hallaron como les había dicho; y aparejaron la pascua.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
14 Y como fué hora, sentóse á la mesa, y con él los apóstoles.
15 And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.
15 Y les dijo: En gran manera he deseado comer con vosotros esta pascua antes que padezca;
16 For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
16 Porque os digo que no comeré más de ella, hasta que se cumpla en el reino de Dios.
17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:
17 Y tomando el vaso, habiendo dado gracias, dijo: Tomad esto, y partidlo entre vosotros;
18 For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.
18 Porque os digo, que no beberé más del fruto de la vid, hasta que el reino de Dios venga.
19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
19 Y tomando el pan, habiendo dado gracias, partió, y les dió, diciendo: Esto es mi cuerpo, que por vosotros es dado: haced esto en memoria de mí.
20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.
20 Asimismo también el vaso, después que hubo cenado, diciendo: Este vaso es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre, que por vosotros se derrama.
21 But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
21 Con todo eso, he aquí la mano del que me entrega, conmigo en la mesa.
22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.
22 Y á la verdad el Hijo del hombre va, según lo que está determinado; empero ¡ay de aquel hombre por el cual es entregado!
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
23 Ellos entonces comenzaron á preguntar entre sí, cuál de ellos sería el que había de hacer esto.
24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.
24 Y hubo entre ellos una contienda, quién de ellos parecía ser el mayor.
25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.
25 Entonces él les dijo: Los reyes de las gentes se enseñorean de ellas; y los que sobre ellas tienen potestad, son llamados bienhechores:
26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.
26 Mas vosotros, no así: antes el que es mayor entre vosotros, sea como el más mozo; y el que es príncipe, como el que sirve.
27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:
27 Porque, ¿cuál es mayor, el que se sienta á la mesa, ó el que sirve? ¿No es el que se sienta á la mesa? Y yo soy entre vosotros como el que sirve.
28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
28 Empero vosotros sois los que habéis permanecido conmigo en mis tentaciones:
29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;
29 Yo pues os ordeno un reino, como mi Padre me lo ordenó [á mí],
30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
30 Para que comáis y bebáis en mi mesa en mi reino, y os sentéis sobre tronos juzgando á las doce tribus de Israel.
31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
31 Dijo también el Señor: Simón, Simón, he aquí Satanás os ha pedido para zarandaros como á trigo;
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
32 Mas yo he rogado por ti que tu fe no falte: y tú, una vez vuelto, confirma á tus hermanos.
33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
33 Y él le dijo: Señor, pronto estoy á ir contigo aun á cárcel y á muerte.
34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
34 Y él dijo: Pedro, te digo que el gallo no cantará hoy antes que tú niegues tres veces que me conoces.
35 When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?
35 Y á ellos dijo: Cuando os envié sin bolsa, y sin alforja, y sin zapatos, ¿os faltó algo? Y ellos dijeron: Nada.
36 But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
36 Y les dijo: Pues ahora, el que tiene bolsa, tómela, y también la alforja, y el que no tiene, venda su capa y compre espada.
37 For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.
37 Porque os digo, que es necesario que se cumpla todavía en mí aquello que está escrito: Y con los malos fué contado: porque lo que [está escrito] de mí, cumplimiento tiene.
38 But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
38 Entonces ellos dijeron: Señor, he aquí dos espadas. Y él les dijo: Basta.
39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
39 Y saliendo, se fué, como solía, al monte de las Olivas; y sus discípulos también le siguieron.
40 And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
40 Y como llegó á aquel lugar, les dijo: Orad que no entréis en tentación.
41 And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,
41 Y él se apartó de ellos como un tiro de piedra; y puesto de rodillas oró,
42 Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.
42 Diciendo: Padre, si quieres, pasa este vaso de mí; empero no se haga mi voluntad, sino la tuya.
43◆ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.
43 Y le apareció un ángel del cielo confortándole.
44 Y estando en agonía, oraba más intensamente: y fué su sudor como grandes gotas de sangre que caían hasta la tierra.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.
45 Y como se levantó de la oración, y vino á sus discípulos, hallólos durmiendo de tristeza;
46 And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
46 Y les dijo: ¿Por qué dormís? Levantaos, y orad que no entréis en tentación.
47 As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.
47 Estando él aún hablando, he aquí una turba; y el que se llamaba Judas, uno de los doce, iba delante de ellos; y llegóse á Jesús para besarlo.
48 And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
48 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Judas, ¿con beso entregas al Hijo del hombre?
49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
49 Y viendo los que estaban con él lo que había de ser, le dijeron: Señor, ¿heriremos á cuchillo?
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
50 Y uno de ellos hirió á un siervo del príncipe de los sacerdotes, y le quitó la oreja derecha.
51 But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
51 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Dejad hasta aquí. Y tocando su oreja, le sanó.
52 And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?
52 Y Jesús dijo á los que habían venido á él, los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los magistrados del templo, y los ancianos: ¿Como á ladrón habéis salido con espadas y con palos?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
53 Habiendo estado con vosotros cada día en el templo, no extendisteis las manos contra mí; mas ésta es vuestra hora, y la potestad de las tinieblas.
54 And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.
54 Y prendiéndole trajéronle, y metiéronle en casa del príncipe de los sacerdotes. Y Pedro le seguía de lejos.
55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.
55 Y habiendo encendido fuego en medio de la sala, y sentándose todos alrededor, se sentó también Pedro entre ellos.
56 Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.
56 Y como una criada le vió que estaba sentado al fuego, fijóse en él, y dijo: Y éste con él estaba.
57 But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.
57 Entonces él lo negó, diciendo: Mujer, no le conozco.
58 And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.
58 Y un poco después, viéndole otro, dijo: Y tú de ellos eras. Y Pedro dijo: Hombre, no soy.
59 And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.
59 Y como una hora pasada otro afirmaba, diciendo: Verdaderamente también éste estaba con él, porque es Galileo.
60 And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
60 Y Pedro dijo: Hombre, no sé qué dices. Y luego, estando él aún hablando, el gallo cantó.
61 And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
61 Entonces, vuelto el Señor, miró á Pedro: y Pedro se acordó de la palabra del Señor como le había dicho: Antes que el gallo cante, me negarás tres veces.
62 And Peter going out, wept bitterly.
62 Y saliendo fuera Pedro, lloró amargamente.
63 And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.
63 Y los hombres que tenían á Jesús, se burlaban de él hiriéndole;
64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
64 Y cubriéndole, herían su rostro, y preguntábanle, diciendo: Profetiza quién es el que te hirió.
65 And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.
65 Y decían otras muchas cosas injuriándole.
66 And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.
66 Y cuando fué de día, se juntaron los ancianos del pueblo, y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y le trajeron á su concilio,
67 And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.
67 Diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Cristo? dínos[lo]. Y les dijo: Si os [lo] dijere, no creeréis;
68 And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
68 Y también si [os] preguntare, no me responderéis, ni [me] soltaréis:
69 But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
69 Mas después de ahora el Hijo del hombre se asentará á la diestra de la potencia de Dios.
70 Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.
70 Y dijeron todos: ¿Luego tú eres Hijo de Dios? Y él les dijo: Vosotros decís que yo soy.
71 And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.
71 Entonces ellos dijeron: ¿Qué más testimonio deseamos? porque nosotros [lo] hemos oído de su boca.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Luke 22:43–44: the angel and the sweat like drops of blood
In Gethsemane an angel strengthens Christ, and in his agony his sweat falls “as it were great drops of blood.” These two verses are missing from some of the most important early manuscripts but are present in others, and they were quoted by St Justin and St Irenaeus in the second century. The Orthodox Church reads them as part of Luke. Scholars are divided on whether Luke wrote them.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, "This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;" and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, …
… hard-heartedness of the Jews moved Him to sorrowful indignation, that He said, "I am glad for your sakes, to the intent ye may believe," that when about to raise Lazarus He even shed tears, that He earnestly desired to eat the passover with His disciples, that as His passion drew near His soul was sorrowful, these emotions are certainly not …

Of this accordingly He quite speaks out to them afterwards, "Lacked ye anything, when I sent you naked and unshod?"
