Luke 22:63-71

The Passover Betrayal, the New Covenant Meal, and the Suffering Servant King

The leaders plot, Judas betrays, Jesus prepares and interprets the Passover as the new covenant in his blood, teaches servant greatness, warns and prays for Peter, submits to the Father in agony, is betrayed and arrested, is denied by Peter, is mocked by men, and confesses before the council that he is the Son of Man and Son of God.

63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66 At 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.

68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70 So 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.”
