Luk 20:13-19, 22:2-6, 47-52, 63-23:5, Joh 1:11, 18:1-14, 19-24 | ESV | STEP | Then the owner of the vineyard said , What shall I do ? I will send my beloved son ; perhaps they will respect him .

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my ^abeloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ^b‘This is the heir. ^cLet us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 And they ^dthrew him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 ^eHe will ^fcome and destroy those tenants and ^ggive the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he ^hlooked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:

ⁱ“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’? ^{▼▼Greek the head of the corner}
18 ^kEveryone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls ^lon anyone, it will crush him.”

Paying Taxes to Caesar

19 ^mThe scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

Luke 22:2-6

2 And the chief priests and the scribes ⁿwere seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

Judas to Betray Jesus

3 ^oThen ^pSatan entered into ^qJudas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and ^rofficers how he might betray him to them. 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to ^sbetray him to them in the absence of a crowd.

Luke 22:47-52

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 ^tWhile he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called ^uJudas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike ^vwith the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ^xofficers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

Luke 22:63-71

Jesus Is Mocked

63 ^yNow the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64 ^zThey also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ^aa“Prophesy! ^abWho is it that struck you?” 65 And they said many other things against him, ^acblaspheming him.

Jesus Before the Council

66 ^adWhen day came, ^aethe assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their ^afcouncil, and they ^agsaid, 67 ^ah“If you are ^aithe Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated ^ajat the right hand of the power of God.” 70 So they all said, “Are you ^akthe Son of God, then?” And he said to them, ^al“You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”

Luke 23:1-5

Jesus Before Pilate

1 ^amThen the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man ^anmisleading our nation and ^aoforbidding us to give tribute to ^apCaesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, ^aqa king.” 3 ^arAnd Pilate asked him, ^as“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, ^at“You have said so.” 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, ^au“I find no guilt in this man.” 5 But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, ^avfrom Galilee even to this place.”

John 1:11

11 He came to ^awhis own, ^{▼▼Greek to his own things; that is, to his own domain, or to his own people} and ^ayhis own people ^{▼▼People is implied in Greek} ^badid not receive him.

John 18:1-14

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^bbhe went out with his disciples across ^bcthe brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew ^bdthe place, for ^beJesus often met there with his disciples. 3 ^bfSo Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, ^bgknowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, ^bh“Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” ^{▼▼Greek I am; also verses 6, 8} Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 ^bjWhen Jesus ^{▼▼Greek he} said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, ^bl“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 ^bmThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, ^bnhaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant ^{▼▼Greek bondservant; twice in this verse} and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; ^bpshall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas

12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews ^{▼▼Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time; also verses 14, 31, 36, 38} arrested Jesus and bound him. 13 First they ^brled him to ^bsAnnas, for he was the father-in-law of ^btCaiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews ^buthat it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

John 18:19-24

The High Priest Questions Jesus

19 ^bvThe high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken ^bwopenly ^bxto the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. ^byI have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, ^bz“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” 24 ^caAnnas then sent him bound to ^cbCaiaphas the high priest.
