Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had concluded all these discourses, that he said to his disciples:
2 Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
Ye know that after two days is the Passover; and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
Then assembled the chief priests and the Scribes and the Elders of the people, at the hall of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
And they held a counsel against Jesus, that they might take him by guile, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.
But they said: Not on the festival, lest there be a commotion among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
And when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.
there came to him a woman having a vase of aromatic ointment very precious, and she poured it on the head of Jesus as he was reclining.
8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
And when his disciples saw it they were displeased, and said: Why is this waste?
9 For this [ointment] might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor.
10 But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
But Jesus knew their dissatisfaction, and said to them: Why trouble ye the woman? She hath performed a good deed towards me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
For the poor ye have at all times with you; but I am not with you always
12 For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
And this her act, pouring the ointment on my body, she hath done as it were for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Verily I say to you, That wherever this my gospel shall be proclaimed, in all the world, this thing that she hath done shall be told for a memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.
and said to them: What will ye give me, if I will deliver him to you? And they promised him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them].
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Now on the first [day] of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
And on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, and said to him: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
And he said to them: Go ye into the city, to such a man, and say to him: Our Rabbi saith, My time approaches: with thee will I keep the Passover with my disciples
19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
And his disciples did as Jesus directed them, and made ready the Passover.
20 Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;
And when it was evening, he reclined with his twelve disciples.
21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
And as they were eating, he said: Verily I say to you, That one of you will betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
And it troubled them much. And they began each one of them to say to him; My Lord is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
And he answered and said: One that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he will betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had not been born.
25 And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
Judas the betrayer answered and said: Rabbi, is it I? Jesus said to him: Thou hast said.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake; and gave to his disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
And he took the cup, and offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: Take, drink of this all of you.
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.
This is my blood of the new testament, which, in behalf of many, is shed for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
But I say to you, that I will henceforth not drink of this product of the vine, until the day in which I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of God.
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
And they sang praises, and went forth to the mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Then said Jesus to them: Ye will all be offended in me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be dispersed.
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after I am arisen, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
Cephas replied, and said to him: Though all men should be offended in thee, I will never be offended in thee.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt thrice deny me.
35 Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Cephas said to him: If I were to die with thee, I would not deny thee: and so also said all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
Then came Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.
And he took Cephas and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be dejected and sorrowful.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.
And he said to them: There is anguish in my soul, even unto death. Wait for me here; and watch with me.
39 And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And retiring a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, and said: My Father, if it can be so, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I choose, but as thou.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
And he came to his disciples, and found them asleep: and he said to Cephas: So! could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Wake ye, and pray, lest ye fall into temptation. The mind is prepared, but the body is infirm.
42 Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Again he went away the second time, and prayed, and said: My Father, if it cannot be that this cup pass, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.
And he left them, and went again and prayed the third time, and used the same language.
45 Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Then he came to his disciples, and said to them: Sleep on now, and take rest. Behold, the hour is come: and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
Arise, let us go. Behold, he that betrayeth me hath come.
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas the betrayer, one of the twelve, arrived; and a great multitude with him, with swords and clubs, from the presence of the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.
And Judas the betrayer had given them a sign, saying: He it is, whom I shall kiss: him seize ye.
49 And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
And forthwith he approached Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
And Jesus said to him: My friend, is it for this thou hast come? Then they came up, and laid their hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
And lo, one of them with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Then Jesus said to him: Return the sword to its place; for all they that take swords, shall die by swords.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Supposest thou that I cannot ask of my Father, and he now assign me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.
At that time Jesus said to the multitude: Have ye come out, as against a cut-throat, with swords and clubs, to take me? I daily sat with you, and taught in the temple, and ye did not apprehend me.
56 But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
And this occurred, that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
57 And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
And they who apprehended Jesus carried him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the Scribes and Elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.
And Simon Cephas followed after him at a distance, unto the high priest's hall, and entered, and sat with the servants within, that he might see the issue.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
And the chief priests and the Elders and the whole assembly sought for witnesses against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
60 and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
and found them not. And many false witnesses came; and at last, two came forward,
61 and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
and said: This man said, I can destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it.
62 And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
And the high priest rose up and said to him: Respondest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
And Jesus was silent. And the high priest answered, and said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said. And I say to you, That hereafter ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and said: Behold, he hath blasphemed! Why therefore should we seek for witnesses? Behold, ye have now heard his blasphemy.
66 what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
What is your pleasure? They answered and said: He is liable to death.
67 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him,
68 saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?
and said to him: Prophesy to us, thou Messiah, who is it smote thee?
69 Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan.
And Cephas was sitting without in the hall, and a certain maid approached him, and said to him: Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarean.
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
But he denied it before them all, and said: I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
And as he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them: This man was also there with Jesus the Nazarean.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
And again he denied, with oaths: I know not that man.
73 And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.
And a little after, those standing there came up and said to Cephas: Certainly, thou too art one of them; and thy speech maketh thee manifest.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.
Then he began to imprecate and to swear, I know not that man. And in that hour the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
And Cephas remembered the declaration of Jesus, who said to him: Before the cock croweth, thou wilt three times deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
