Luke 22:45-63 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

45. When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

46. and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

47. While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.

48. But Yeshua said to him, “Judah, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49. When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

50. A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51. But Yeshua answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear, and healed him.

52. Yeshua said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

53. When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

54. They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

55. When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat amongst them.

56. A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

57. He denied Yeshua, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

58. After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!”But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

59. After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

60. But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”

62. He went out, and wept bitterly.

63. The men who held Yeshua mocked him and beat him.
