Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, —and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.
Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
3 Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;
Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
4 and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.
and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
5 They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.
But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.
6 But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
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.
8 And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying—To what end, this loss?
But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
For this [ointment] might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 But Jesus, taking note, said unto them—Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For, always, the destitute, have ye with you, —but, me, not always, have ye;
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Verily, I say unto you—Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
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.
14 Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 and said—What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
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.
16 And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.
And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them].
17 And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, saying—Where wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
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?
18 And, he, said—Go your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.
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.
19 And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];
Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;
21 and, as they were eating, he said—Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.
and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one—Can it be, I, Lord?
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
23 And, he, answering, said—He who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.
And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, —But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!
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.
25 And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, said—Can it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto him—Thou, hast said.
And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
26 And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, —and, giving to his disciples, said—Take, eat! This, is, my body.
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.
27 And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, saying—Drink of it, all of you;
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.
29 Moreover, I say unto you—In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
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.
30 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Then, Jesus saith unto them—All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;
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.
32 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Now Peter, answering, said unto him—Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.
But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
34 Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee—During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.
Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, —and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
37 And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.
38 Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.
39 And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying—My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, —Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.
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.
40 And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter—Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.
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.
43 And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.
And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.
And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.
45 Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, —Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
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.
46 Arise! let us be going, —Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
47 And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.
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.
48 And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is, —secure him.
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.
49 And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he said—Joy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.
And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
50 But, Jesus, said unto him—Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.
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.
52 Then, Jesus saith unto him—Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.
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.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?
Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;
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.
56 But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.
But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
57 And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.
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.
58 Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, —and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.
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.
59 Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
60 and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,
and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
61 and said: This, man said—I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.
and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the High-priest, arising, said unto him—Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?
And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say—Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.
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.
64 Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you—Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
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.
65 Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying—He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!
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:
66 How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.
what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
67 Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,
Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 saying—Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?
saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?
69 Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying—Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.
Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan.
70 But, he, denied before all, saying—I know not what thou sayest.
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there—This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.
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.
72 And, again, he denied, with an oath—I know not the man.
And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
73 And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.
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.
74 Then, began he to be cursing and swearing—I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.
Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.
75 And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said—Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
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.
