< Matthew 26 >
1 And it came to pass when finished Jesus all words these, He said to the disciples of Him;
2 You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man is delivered over to be crucified.
3 Then were gathered together the chief priests (and scribes *K) and the elders of the people in the courtyard of the high priest who is being named Caiaphas
4 and they plotted together in order that Jesus by guile they may seize and may kill.
5 They were saying however; Not [seize him] during the feast, that not a riot may happen among the people.
6 And of Jesus having been in Bethany in [the] house of Simon the leper
7 came to Him a woman having an alabaster flask of fragrant oil very costly and poured [it] on (the head *N+kO) when he is reclining.
8 Having seen then the disciples (of him *k) became indignant saying; For what purpose [is] the waste this?
9 It was possible for this (fragrant oil *K) to be sold for much and to be given to [the] poor.
10 Having known [this] now Jesus said to them; Why trouble do you cause to the woman? A work for beautiful she did to Me myself.
11 Always for the poor you have with yourselves, Me myself however not always you have.
12 In pouring for this [woman] fragrant oil this on the body of Mine for to bury Me she did [it].
13 Amen I say to you; wherever if shall be proclaimed gospel this in all the world, will be spoken of also that which did this [woman] for a memorial of her.
14 Then having gone one of the Twelve, the [one] being named Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests
15 he said; What are you willing me to give, and I myself and I myself to you will betray Him? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he was seeking an opportunity that Him he may betray.
17 On the now first [day] of the unleavened [bread] came the disciples to Jesus saying (to him: *k) Where wish you [that] (we may prepare *NK+o) for You to eat the Passover?
18 And He said; do go into the city unto a certain man and do tell him: the Teacher says; The time for Me near is, with you I keep the Passover with the disciples of Mine.’
19 And did the disciples as directed them Jesus, and prepared the Passover.
20 As evening now having arrived He was reclining with the twelve (disciples. *O)
21 And when were eating they He said; Amen I say to you that one of you will betray Me.
22 And being grieved exceedingly they began to say to Him one each (of them: *k) surely not ever I myself is it, Lord?
23 And answering He said; The [one] having dipped with Me the hand in the dish he Me will betray.
24 Indeed the Son of Man goes even as it has been written about Him, woe however for the man that [one] through whom the Son of Man is betrayed; Better was being for him if not was born the man that.
25 Answering now Judas who is betraying Him said; surely not ever I myself is it, Rabbi? He says to him; You yourself have said.
26 When were eating now they having taken Jesus bread and (having blessed *NK+O) broke [it], and (giving *N+kO) to the disciples (and *k) He said; do take do eat; this is the body of Me.
27 And having taken a cup and having given thanks He gave [it] to them saying; do drink of it all of you;
28 This for is the blood of Mine of the (of a new *KO) covenant for many being poured out for forgiveness of sins.
29 I say now to you (that: *k) certainly not shall I drink from now of this the (fruit *N+kO) of the vine until the day that when it I may drink with you anew in the kingdom of the Father of Mine.
30 And having sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then says to them Jesus; All you yourselves will fall away because of Me myself during night this; It has been written for: I will strike the shepherd, and (they will be scattered *N+kO) the sheep of the flock.’
32 After however to raise Me I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Answering now Peter said to Him; If (even *k) all will fall away because of You, I myself (but *k) never will fall away.
34 was saying to him Jesus; Amen I say to you that during this night before [the] rooster crowing three times you will deny Me.
35 Says to Him Peter; Even if Even if it shall be necessary for me with You to die, certainly not You (I will deny. *NK+o) Likewise (now *o) also all the disciples said.
36 Then comes with them Jesus to a place being named Gethsemane and He says to the disciples; do sit here until that having gone away over there I may pray.
37 And having taken with [Him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee He began to be sorrowful and to be deeply distressed.
38 Then He says to them (Jesus: *O) Very sorrowful is the soul of Mine until death; do remain here and do watch with Me.
39 And (having gone forward *NK+o) a little He fell upon face of Him praying and saying; Father of Mine, if possible it is, should pass from Me cup this; Nevertheless not [it is] as I myself wish but as You.
40 And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping And He says to Peter; Thus not were you able one hour to watch with Me?
41 do watch and do pray that not you may enter into temptation. The indeed spirit [is] willing however the flesh weak.
42 Again for a second time having gone away He prayed saying; Father of Mine, if not is possible this (cup *K) to pass (from Me *k) only unless it I shall drink, [then] should be [done] the will of You.
43 And having come again (He found *N+kO) them sleeping; were for of them the eyes wearied.
44 And having left them again having gone away He prayed for [the] third time the same thing having said (again. *no)
45 Then He comes to the disciples (of him *k) and says to them; Sleep later on and take your rest; Behold has drawn near the hour, and the Son of Man is betrayed into [the] hands of sinners.
46 do rise up let us go; Behold he has drawn near who is betraying Me!
47 And yet when he is speaking behold Judas one of the Twelve came, and with him a crowd great with swords and clubs from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 The [one] then betraying Him gave to them a sign saying; Whomever maybe I may kiss, He himself it is; do seize Him.
49 And immediately having come up to Jesus he said; Greetings Rabbi, and kissed Him.
50 And Jesus said to him; Friend, [do] for (what *N+kO) you are come. Then having come to [him] they laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
51 And behold one of those with Jesus having stretched out the hand drew the sword of him, and having struck the servant of the high priest cut off of him the ear.
52 Then says to him Jesus; do return the sword of you into the place of it; all for those having taken [the] sword by [the] sword (will perish. *NK+o)
53 Or think you that not I am able to call upon the Father of Mine, and He will furnish to Me presently (more *N+kO) (than *k) twelve (legions *N+kO) of angels?
54 How then may be fulfilled the Scriptures that so it must be being?
55 In that [very] hour said Jesus to the crowds; As against a robber did you come out with swords and clubs to capture Me? Every day (to you *KO) in the temple I was sitting teaching and not you did seize Me.
56 This then all has come to pass that may be fulfilled the Scriptures of the prophets. Then the disciples all having forsaken Him fled.
57 Those then having seized Jesus led [Him] away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 And Peter was following Him from afar until the court of the high priest, And having entered within he was sitting with the guards to see the outcome.
59 And the chief priests and (elders and *K) the Council whole were seeking false testimony against Jesus so that him (they may put to death *NK+o)
60 but not any they found (and *k) of many having come forward as false witnesses (not they found. *k) Finally then having come forward two (false witnesses *k)
61 they said; This [man] was saying: I am able to destroy the temple of God and in three days to rebuild it (him. *k)
62 And having stood up the high priest said to Him; No [thing] answer you? What these you do witness against?
63 And Jesus was silent. And (answering *k) the high priest said to Him; I adjure you by God the living that us may you tell if You yourself are the Christ the Son of God.
64 Says to him Jesus; You yourself have said. But I say to you; from now you will behold the Son of Man sitting at [the] right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest tears the garments of him saying (that: *k) He has blasphemed; why any more need have we of witnesses? Behold now you have heard the blasphemy (of him. *k)
66 What you do think? And answering they said; Deserving of death He is.
67 Then they spat in the face of Him and struck Him. Others then slapped [Him]
68 saying; do prophesy to us, Christ, who is the [one] having struck You?
69 And Peter was sitting outside in the court. and came to him one servant girl saying; Also You yourself were with Jesus the Galilean.
70 And he denied before (them *k) all saying; Not I know what you say.
71 Having gone out then (him *k) to the porch saw him another [servant girl] and she says (to those *NK+o) there; (and *ko) This [man] was with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath that Not I know the man.
73 After a little while also having come to [him] those having stood they said to Peter; Surely also you yourself of them are; even for the speech of you away you gives.
74 Then he began to curse and to swear that Not I know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 And remembered Peter the declaration of Jesus having said (to him *k) that Before [the] rooster crowing three times you will deny Me, And having gone out he wept bitterly.
