Matthew 26
1 When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt alle disse Ord, sagde han til sine Disciple:
2 ‘You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified.’
„I vide, at om to Dage er det Paaske; saa forraades Menneskesønnen til at korsfæstes.‟
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Da forsamledes Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste i Ypperstepræstens Gaard; han hed Kajfas.
4 and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
Og de raadsloge om at gribe Jesus med List og ihjelslaa ham.
5 but they said, ‘Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.’
Men de sagde: „Ikke paa Højtiden, for at der ikke skal blive Oprør iblandt Folket.‟
6 After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
Men da Jesus var kommen til Bethania, i Simon den spedalskes Hus,
7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume on his head as he sat at the table.
kom der en Kvinde til ham, som havde en Alabastkrukke med saare kostbar Salve, og hun udgød den paa hans Hoved, medens han sad til Bords.
8 The disciples were indignant at seeing this. ‘What is this waste for?’ they exclaimed.
Men da Disciplene saa det, bleve de vrede og sagde: „Hvortil denne Spilde?
9 ‘It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.’
Dette kunde jo være solgt til en høj Pris og være givet til fattige.‟
10 ‘Why are you troubling the woman?’ Jesus said, when he noticed it. ‘For this is a beautiful deed that she has done to me.
Men da Jesus mærkede det, sagde han til dem: „Hvorfor volde I Kvinden Fortrædeligheder? Hun har jo gjort en god Gerning imod mig.
11 You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Thi de fattige have I altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.
12 In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
Thi da hun udgød denne Salve over mit Legeme, gjorde hun det for at berede mig til at begraves.
13 I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, this good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.’
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvor som helst i hele Verden dette Evangelium bliver prædiket, skal ogsaa det, som hun har gjort, omtales til hendes Ihukommelse.‟
14 It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
Da gik en af de tolv, han, som hed Judas Iskariot, hen til Ypperstepræsterne
15 and said ‘What are you willing to give me, if I betray Jesus to you?’ The Priests counted him out thirty pieces of silver as payment.
og sagde: „Hvad ville I give mig, saa skal jeg forraade ham til eder?‟ Men de betalte ham tredive Sølvpenge.
16 So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Og fra den Stund søgte han Lejlighed til at forraade ham.
17 On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said, ‘Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?’
Men paa den første Dag af de usyrede Brøds Højtid kom Disciplene til Jesus og sagde: „Hvor vil du, at vi skulle træffe Forberedelse for dig til at spise Paaskelammet?‟
18 ‘Go into the city to a certain man,’ he answered, ‘and say to him “The teacher says – My time is near. I will keep the Passover with my disciples at your house.”’
Men han sagde: „Gaar ind i Staden til den og den Mand, og siger til ham: Mesteren siger: Min Time er nær; hos dig holder jeg Paaske med mine Disciple.‟
19 The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
Og Disciplene gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem, og beredte Paaskelammet.
20 In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
Men da det var blevet Aften, sad han til Bords med de tolv.
21 and, while they were eating, he said, ‘I tell you that one of you will betray me.’
Og medens de spiste, sagde han: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, en af eder vil forraade mig.‟
22 In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, ‘Can it be I, Master?’
Og de bleve saare bedrøvede og begyndte hver især at sige til ham: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Herre?‟
23 ‘The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,’ replied Jesus, ‘is the one who will betray me.
Men han svarede og sagde: „Den, som dyppede Haanden tillige med mig i Fadet, han vil forraade mig.
24 True, the Son of Man must go, as scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man it would be better never to have been born!’
Menneskesønnen gaar vel bort, som der er skrevet om ham; men ve det Menneske, ved hvem Menneskesønnen bliver forraadt! Det var godt for det Menneske, om han ikke var født.‟
25 Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, ‘Can it be I, Rabbi?’ ‘It is,’ answered Jesus.
Men Judas, som forraadte ham, svarede og sagde: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Rabbi?‟ Han siger til ham: „Du har sagt det.‟
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it and, as he gave it to his disciples, said, ‘Take it and eat it; this is my body.’
Men medens de spiste, tog Jesus Brød, og han velsignede og brød det og gav Disciplene det og sagde: „Tager, æder; dette er mit Legeme.‟
27 Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, ‘Drink from it, all of you;
Og han tog en Kalk og takkede, gav dem den og sagde: „Drikker alle deraf;
28 for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
thi dette er mit Blod, Pagtens, hvilket udgydes for mange til Syndernes Forladelse.
29 I tell you that I will never, after this, drink of this juice of the grape, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.’
Men jeg siger eder, fra nu af skal jeg ingenlunde drikke af denne Vintræets Frugt indtil den Dag, da jeg skal drikke den ny med eder i min Faders Rige.‟
30 They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Og da de havde sunget Lovsangen, gik de ud til Oliebjerget.
31 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Even you will all fall away from me tonight. Scripture says – “I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”
Da siger Jesus til dem: „I skulle alle forarges paa mig i denne Nat; thi der er skrevet: Jeg vil slaa Hyrden, og Hjordens Faar skulle adspredes.
32 But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.’
Men efter at jeg er bleven oprejst, vil jeg gaa forud for eder til Galilæa.‟
33 ‘If everyone else falls away from you,’ Peter answered, ‘I will never fall away!’
Men Peter svarede og sagde til ham: „Om end alle ville forarges paa dig, saa vil jeg dog aldrig forarges.‟
34 ‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!’
Jesus sagde til ham: „Sandelig, siger jeg dig, i denne Nat, førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange.‟
35 ‘Even if I must die with you,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘I will never disown you!’ All the disciples spoke in the same way.
Peter siger til ham: „Om jeg end skulde dø med dig, vil jeg ingenlunde fornægte dig.‟ Ligesaa sagde ogsaa alle Disciplene.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit down here while I go and pray over there.’
Da kommer Jesus med dem til en Gaard, som kaldes Gethsemane, og han siger til Disciplene: „Sætter eder her, medens jeg gaar derhen og beder.‟
37 Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
Og han tog Peter og Zebedæus's to Sønner med sig, og han begyndte at bedrøves og svarlig at ængstes.
38 ‘I am sad at heart,’ he said, ‘sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.’
Da siger han til dem: „Min Sjæl er dybt bedrøvet indtil Døden; bliver her og vaager med mig!‟
39 Going on a little further, he threw himself on his face in prayer. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if it is possible, let me be spared this cup; only, not as I will, but as you will.’
Og han gik lidt frem, faldt paa sit Ansigt, bad og sagde: „Min Fader! er det muligt, da gaa denne Kalk mig forbi; dog ikke som jeg vil, men som du vil.‟
40 Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep. ‘What!’ he said to Peter, ‘could none of you watch with me for one hour?
Og han kommer til Disciplene og finder dem sovende, og han siger til Peter: „Saa kunde I da ikke vaage een Time med mig!
41 Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.’
Vaager og beder, for at I ikke skulle falde i Fristelse! Aanden er vel redebon, men Kødet er skrøbeligt.‟
42 Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, your will be done!’
Han gik atter anden Gang hen, bad og sagde: „Min Fader! hvis denne Kalk ikke kan gaa mig forbi, uden jeg drikker den, da ske din Villie!‟
43 And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
Og han kom og fandt dem atter sovende, thi deres Øjne vare betyngede.
44 So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
Og han forlod dem og gik atter hen og bad tredje Gang og sagde atter det samme Ord.
45 Then he came to the disciples, and said, ‘Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Look – my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
Da kommer han til Disciplene og siger til dem: „Sove I fremdeles og hvile eder? Se, Timen er nær, og Menneskesønnen forraades i Synderes Hænder.
46 Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.’
Staar op, lader os gaa; se, han, som forraader mig, er nær.‟
47 And, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came in sight; and with him was a great crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Og medens han endnu talte, se, da kom Judas, en af de tolv, og med ham en stor Skare, med Sværd og Knipler, fra Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. ‘The man whom I kiss,’ he had said, ‘will be the one; arrest him.’
Men han, som forraadte ham, havde givet dem et Tegn og sagt: „Den, som jeg kysser, ham er det; griber ham!‟
49 So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, ‘Welcome, Rabbi!’ and kissed him;
Og han traadte straks hen til Jesus og sagde: „Hil være dig, Rabbi!‟ og kyssede ham.
50 at which Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for.’ The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
Men Jesus sagde til ham: „Ven, hvorfor kommer du her?‟ Da traadte de til og lagde Haand paa Jesus og grebe ham.
51 Suddenly one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking the high priest’s servant, cut off his ear.
Og se, en af dem, som vare med Jesus, rakte Haanden ud og drog sit Sværd og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og huggede hans Øre af.
52 ‘Sheathe your sword,’ Jesus said, ‘for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
Da siger Jesus til ham: „Stik dit Sværd igen paa dets Sted; thi alle de, som tage Sværd, skulle omkomme ved Sværd.
53 Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?
Eller mener du, at jeg ikke kan bede min Fader, saa han nu tilskikker mig mere end tolv Legioner Engle?
54 But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?’
Hvorledes skulde da Skrifterne opfyldes, at det bør gaa saaledes til?‟
55 Jesus at the same time said to the crowds, ‘Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I have sat teaching day after day in the Temple Courts, and yet you did not arrest me.’
I den samme Time sagde Jesus til Skarerne: „I ere gaaede ud ligesom imod en Røver med Sværd og Knipler for at fange mig. Daglig sad jeg i Helligdommen og lærte, og I grebe mig ikke.
56 The whole of this occurred in fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
Men det er alt sammen sket, for at Profeternes Skrifter skulde opfyldes.‟ Da forlode alle Disciplene ham og flyede.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
Men de, som havde grebet Jesus, førte ham hen til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas, hvor de skriftkloge og de Ældste vare forsamlede.
58 Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
Men Peter fulgte ham i Frastand indtil Ypperstepræstens Gaard, og han gik indenfor og satte sig hos Svendene for at se, hvad Udgang det vilde faa.
59 Meanwhile the chief priests and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such false evidence against Jesus, as would warrant putting him to death,
Men Ypperstepræsterne og hele Raadet søgte falsk Vidnesbyrd imod Jesus, for at de kunde aflive ham.
60 but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
Og de fandt intet, endskønt der traadte mange falske Vidner frem. Men til sidst traadte to frem og sagde:
61 ‘This man said “I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.”’
„Denne har sagt: Jeg kan nedbryde Guds Tempel og bygge det op i tre Dage.‟
62 Then the high priest stood up, and said to Jesus, ‘Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?’
Og Ypperstepræsten stod op og sagde til ham: „Svarer du intet paa, hvad disse vidne imod dig?‟
63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, ‘I order you, by the living God, to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.’
Men Jesus tav. Og Ypperstepræsten tog til Orde og sagde til ham: „Jeg besværger dig ved den levende Gud, at du siger os, om du er Kristus, Guds Søn.‟
64 ‘It is true,’ Jesus answered, ‘Moreover I tell you all that hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of the heavens.’
Jesus siger til ham: „Du har sagt det; dog jeg siger eder: Fra nu af skulle I se Menneskesønnen sidde ved Kraftens højre Haand og komme paa Himmelens Skyer.‟
65 Then the high priest tore his robes. ‘This is blasphemy!’ he exclaimed. ‘Why do we want any more witnesses? You have just heard his blasphemy!
Da sønderrev Ypperstepræsten sine Klæder og sagde: „Han har talt bespotteligt; hvad have vi længere Vidner nødig? se, nu have I hørt Bespottelsen.
66 What is your decision?’ They answered, ‘He deserves death.’
Hvad tykkes eder?‟ Og de svarede og sagde: „Han er skyldig til Døden.‟
67 Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
Da spyttede de ham i Ansigtet og gave ham Næveslag; andre sloge ham paa Kinden
68 ‘Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?’
og sagde: „Profetér os, Kristus, hvem var det, der slog dig?‟
69 Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed, ‘Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!’
Men Peter sad udenfor i Gaarden; og en Pige kom hen til ham og sagde: „Ogsaa du var med Jesus Galilæeren.‟
70 But Peter denied it before them all. ‘I do not know what you mean,’ he replied.
Men han nægtede det i alles Paahør og sagde: „Jeg forstaar ikke, hvad du siger.‟
71 When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth!’
Men da han gik ud i Portrummet, saa en anden Pige ham; og hun siger til dem, som vare der: „Denne var med Jesus af Nazareth.‟
72 Again he denied it with an oath, ‘I do not know the man!’
Og han nægtede det atter med en Ed: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟
73 But soon afterwards those who were standing by came up and said to Peter, ‘You also are certainly one of them; why, even your way of speaking proves it!’
Men lidt efter kom de, som stode der, hen og sagde til Peter: „Sandelig, ogsaa du er en af dem, dit Maal røber dig jo ogsaa.‟
74 Then Peter said, ‘I swear that I do not know the man! May God punish me if I am lying!’ At that moment a cock crowed;
Da begyndte han at forbande sig og sværge: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟ Og straks galede Hanen.
75 and Peter remembered the words which Jesus had said – “Before a cock has crowed, you will disown me three times”; and he went outside, and wept bitterly.
Og Peter kom Jesu Ord i Hu, at han havde sagt: „Førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange.‟ Og han gik udenfor og græd bitterligt.
