Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for his noblemen, a thousand of them, and, in the presence of this thousand, he drank his wine.
2 Having tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave orders for the gold and silver vessels to be brought which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the sanctuary in Jerusalem, so that the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him could drink out of them.
3 The gold and silver vessels taken from the sanctuary of the Temple of God in Jerusalem were brought in, and the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him drank out of them.
4 They drank their wine and praised their idols of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone.
5 Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began to write on the plaster of the palace wall, directly behind the lamp-stand; and the king could see the hand as it wrote.
6 The king turned pale with alarm: his hip-joints went slack and his knees began to knock.
7 He shouted for his soothsayers, Chaldaeans, and exorcists. And the king said to the Babylonian sages, ‘Anyone who can read this writing and tell me what it means shall be dressed in purple, and have a chain of gold put round his neck, and be one of the three men who govern the kingdom.’
8 The king’s sages all crowded forward, but they could neither read the writing nor explain to the king what it meant.
9 Greatly alarmed, King Belshazzar turned even paler, and his noblemen were equally disturbed.
10 Then the queen, attracted by the noise made by the king and his noblemen, came into the banqueting hall. ‘May Your Majesty live for ever!’ said the queen. ‘Do not be alarmed, do not look so pale.
11 In your kingdom there is a man in whom lives the spirit of the holy gods. In your father’s days he was known for a perception, intelligence and wisdom comparable to that of the gods. King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him head of the magicians, soothsayers, Chaldaeans and exorcists.
12 Since this man Daniel, whom the king had renamed Belteshazzar, is filled with such a marvellous spirit and such knowledge and intelligence in interpreting dreams, solving enigmas and unravelling difficult problems, send for him; he will be able to tell you what this means.’
13 Daniel was brought into the king’s presence; the king said to Daniel, ‘Are you the Daniel who was one of the Judaean exiles brought by my father the king from Judah?
14 I am told that the spirit of the gods lives in you, and that you are known for your perception, intelligence and marvellous wisdom.
15 The sages and soothsayers have already been brought to me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they have been unable to reveal its meaning.
16 I am told that you are able to give interpretations and to unravel difficult problems, so if you can read the writing and tell me what it means, you shall be dressed in purple, and have a chain of gold put round your neck, and be one of the three men who govern the kingdom.’
17 Then Daniel spoke up in the presence of the king. ‘Keep your gifts for yourself,’ he said, ‘and give your rewards to others! I can certainly read the writing to the king and tell him what it means.
18 Your Majesty, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father sovereignty, greatness, majesty and glory.
19 He made him so great that all peoples, nations and languages shook with dread before him: he killed whom he pleased, spared whom he pleased, promoted whom he pleased, degraded whom he pleased.
20 But because his heart grew swollen with pride, and his spirit stiff with arrogance, he was deposed from his sovereign throne and stripped of his glory.
21 He was driven from human society, his heart was more like an animal’s than a man’s; he lived with the wild donkeys; he fed on grass like oxen; his body was drenched by the dew of heaven, until he had learnt that the Most High rules over human sovereignty and appoints whom he pleases to rule it.
22 But you, Belshazzar, who are his son, you have not humbled your heart, in spite of knowing all this.
23 You have defied the Lord of heaven, you have had the vessels from his Temple brought to you, and you, your noblemen, your wives and the women singing for you have drunk your wine out of them. You have praised gods of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone, which can neither see, hear nor understand; but you have given no glory to the God in whose hands are your breath itself and all your fortunes.
24 That is why he has sent the hand which has written these words.
25 The writing reads: mene, mene, teqel and parsin.
26 The meaning of the words is this: mene: God has measured your sovereignty and put an end to it;
27 teqel: you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting;
28 parsin: your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.’
29 At Belshazzar’s order Daniel was dressed in purple, a chain of gold was put round his neck and he was proclaimed as one of the three men who governed the kingdom.
30 That same night, the Chaldaean king Belshazzar was murdered,
Daniel 6
1 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.
2 It pleased Darius to appoint a hundred and twenty satraps over his kingdom for the various parts,
3 and over them three presidents — of whom Daniel was one — to whom the satraps were to be responsible. This was to safeguard the king’s interests.
4 This Daniel, by virtue of the marvellous spirit residing in him, was so evidently superior to the other presidents and satraps that the king considered appointing him to rule the whole kingdom.
5 The presidents and satraps, in consequence, started hunting for some affair of state by which they could discredit Daniel; but they could find nothing to his discredit, and no case of negligence; he was so punctilious that they could not find a single instance of maladministration or neglect.
6 These men then thought, ‘We shall never find a way of discrediting Daniel unless we try something to do with the law of his God.’
7 The presidents and satraps then went in a body to the king. ‘King Darius,’ they said, ‘live for ever!
8 We are all agreed, presidents of the realm, magistrates, satraps, councillors and governors, that the king should issue an edict enforcing the following regulation: Whoever within the next thirty days prays to anyone, divine or human, other than to yourself, Your Majesty, is to be thrown into the lions’ den.
9 Your Majesty, ratify the edict at once by signing this document, making it unalterable, as befits the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.’
10 King Darius accordingly signed the document embodying the edict.
11 When Daniel heard that the document had been signed, he retired to his house. The windows of his upstairs room faced towards Jerusalem. Three times each day, he went down on his knees, praying and giving praise to God as he had always done.
12 These men came along in a body and found Daniel praying and pleading with God.
13 They then went to the king and reminded him of the royal edict, ‘Have you not signed an edict forbidding anyone for the next thirty days to pray to anyone, divine or human, other than to yourself, Your Majesty, on pain of being thrown into the lions’ den?’ ‘The decision stands’ the king replied, ‘ as befits the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.’
14 They then said to the king, ‘Your Majesty, this man Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, disregards both you and the edict which you have signed: he is at his prayers three times each day.’
15 When the king heard these words he was deeply distressed and determined to save Daniel; he racked his brains until sunset to find some way to save him.
16 But the men kept pressing the king, ‘Your Majesty, remember that in conformity with the law of the Medes and the Persians, no edict or decree can be altered when once issued by the king.’
17 The king then ordered Daniel to be brought and thrown into the lion pit. The king said to Daniel, ‘Your God, whom you have served so faithfully, will have to save you.’
18 A stone was then brought and laid over the mouth of the pit; and the king sealed it with his own signet and with that of his noblemen, so that there could be no going back on the original decision about Daniel.
19 The king returned to his palace, spent the night in fasting and refused to receive any of his concubines. Sleep eluded him,
20 and at the first sign of dawn he got up and hurried to the lion pit.
21 As he approached the pit he called in anguished tones to Daniel, ‘Daniel, servant of the living God! Has your God, whom you serve so faithfully, been able to save you from the lions?’
22 Daniel answered the king, ‘May Your Majesty live for ever!
23 My God sent his angel who sealed the lions’ jaws; they did me no harm, since in his sight I am blameless; neither have I ever done you any wrong, Your Majesty.’
24 The king was overjoyed and ordered Daniel to be released from the pit. Daniel was released from the pit and found to be quite unhurt, because he had trusted in his God.
25 The king then sent for the men who had accused Daniel and had them thrown into the lion pit, and their wives and children too; and before they reached the floor of the pit the lions had seized them and crushed their bones to pieces.
26 King Darius then wrote to all nations, peoples and languages dwelling throughout the world: ‘May you prosper more and more!
27 This is my decree: Throughout every dominion of my realm, let all tremble with fear before the God of Daniel: He is the living God, he endures for ever, his kingdom will never be destroyed and his empire never come to an end.
28 He saves, sets free, and works signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth; he has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.’
29 This Daniel flourished in the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Luke 22
The feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was now drawing near,
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for some way of doing away with him, because they were afraid of the people.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
4 He approached the chief priests and the officers of the guard to discuss some way of handing Jesus over to them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
6 He accepted and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them without people knowing about it.
7 The day of Unleavened Bread came round, on which the Passover had to be sacrificed,
8 and he sent Peter and John, saying, ‘Go and make the preparations for us to eat the Passover.’
9 They asked him, ‘Where do you want us to prepare it?’
10 He said to them, ‘Look, as you go into the city you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house he enters
11 and tell the owner of the house, “The Master says this to you: Where is the room for me to eat the Passover with my disciples?”
12 The man will show you a large upper room furnished with couches. Make the preparations there.’
13 They set off and found everything as he had told them and prepared the Passover.
14 When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’
17 Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you,
18 because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’
19 Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’
20 He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.
21 ‘But look, here with me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying me.
22 The Son of man is indeed on the path which was decreed, but alas for that man by whom he is betrayed!’
23 And they began to ask one another which of them it could be who was to do this.
24 An argument also began between them about who should be reckoned the greatest;
25 but he said to them, ‘Among the gentiles it is the kings who lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are given the title Benefactor.
26 With you this must not happen. No; the greatest among you must behave as if he were the youngest, the leader as if he were the one who serves.
27 For who is the greater: the one at table or the one who serves? The one at table, surely? Yet here am I among you as one who serves!
28 ‘You are the men who have stood by me faithfully in my trials;
29 and now I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father conferred one on me:
30 you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 ‘Simon, Simon! Look, Satan has got his wish to sift you all like wheat;
32 but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail, and once you have recovered, you in your turn must strengthen your brothers.’
33 ‘Lord,’ he answered, ‘I would be ready to go to prison with you, and to death.’
34 Jesus replied, ‘I tell you, Peter, by the time the cock crows today you will have denied three times that you know me.’
35 He said to them, ‘When I sent you out without purse or haversack or sandals, were you short of anything?’
36 ‘No, nothing,’ they said. He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it, and the same with a haversack; if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one,
37 because I tell you these words of scripture are destined to be fulfilled in me: He was counted as one of the rebellious. Yes, what it says about me is even now reaching its fulfilment.’
38 They said, ‘Lord, here are two swords.’ He said to them, ‘That is enough!’
39 He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples following.
40 When he reached the place he said to them, ‘Pray not to be put to the test.’
41 Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed.
42 ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’
43 Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength.
44 In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.
45 When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief.
46 And he said to them, ‘Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.’
47 Suddenly, while he was still speaking, a number of men appeared, and at the head of them the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, who went up to Jesus to kiss him.
48 Jesus said, ‘Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?’
49 His followers, seeing what was about to happen, said, ‘Lord, shall we use our swords?’
50 And one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear.
51 But at this Jesus said, ‘That is enough.’ And touching the man’s ear he healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the Temple guard and elders who had come for him, ‘Am I a bandit, that you had to set out with swords and clubs?
53 When I was among you in the Temple day after day you never made a move to lay hands on me. But this is your hour; this is the reign of darkness.’
54 They seized him then and led him away, and they took him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 They had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and Peter sat down among them,
56 and as he was sitting there by the blaze a servant-girl saw him, peered at him, and said, ‘This man was with him too.’
57 But he denied it. ‘Woman, I do not know him,’ he said.
58 Shortly afterwards someone else saw him and said, ‘You are one of them too.’ But Peter replied, ‘I am not, my friend.’
59 About an hour later another man insisted, saying, ‘This fellow was certainly with him. Why, he is a Galilean.’
60 Peter said, ‘My friend, I do not know what you are talking about.’ At that instant, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed,
61 and the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the Lord’s words when he had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows today, you will have disowned me three times.’
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 Meanwhile the men who guarded Jesus were mocking and beating him.
64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, ‘Prophesy! Who hit you then?’
65 And they heaped many other insults on him.
66 When day broke there was a meeting of the elders of the people, the chief priests and scribes. He was brought before their council,
67 and they said to him, ‘If you are the Christ, tell us.’ He replied, ‘If I tell you, you will not believe,
68 and if I question you, 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 They all said, ‘So you are the Son of God then?’ He answered, ‘It is you who say I am.’
71 Then they said, ‘Why do we need any evidence? We have heard it for ourselves from his own lips.’
