| 1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, drew nigh, |
|
| 2 and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. |
|
| |
|
| 3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve. |
|
| 4 And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them. |
|
| 5 And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money. |
|
| 6 And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd. |
|
| |
|
| 7 And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed. |
|
| 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it.
|
|
| 9 But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it? |
|
| 10 And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;
|
|
| 11 and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
|
|
| 12 And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
|
|
| 13 And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover. |
|
| |
|
| 14 And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the twelve apostles with him. |
|
| 15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.
|
|
| 16 For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
|
|
| 17 And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.
|
|
| 18 For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.
|
|
| 19 And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
|
|
| 20 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
|
|
| 21 Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table;
|
|
| 22 and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
|
|
| 23 And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this. |
|
| |
|
| 24 And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be the greatest. |
|
| 25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
|
|
| 26 But *ye* shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.
|
|
| 27 For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves.
|
|
| 28 But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.
|
|
| 29 And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,
|
|
| 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
|
| 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat;
|
|
| 32 but *I* have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and *thou*, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.
|
|
| 33 And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death. |
|
| 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
|
|
| |
|
| 35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything?
And they said, Nothing. |
|
| 36 He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take it, in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;
|
|
| 37 for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.
|
|
| 38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
|
Two swords ... it is enough – Perhaps a symbolic reference to the fact that the Word of the Lord is likened to a sword, and is comprised of two swords, i.e., the old and new testaments. |
| |
|
| 39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. |
|
| 40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
|
|
| 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed, |
|
| 42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: --but then, not my will, but thine be done.
|
|
| 43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him. |
|
| 44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth. |
|
| 45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. |
|
| 46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
|
|
| |
|
| 47 As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. |
|
| 48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
|
|
| 49 And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? |
|
| 50 And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear. |
|
| 51 And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.
|
|
| 52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?
|
|
| 53 When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
|
|
| |
|
| 54 And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off. |
|
| 55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them. |
|
| 56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this man was with him. |
|
| 57 But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him. |
|
| 58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. |
|
| 59 And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this man also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean. |
|
| 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew. |
|
| 61 And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.
|
|
| 62 And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly. |
|
| |
|
| 63 And the men who held him mocked him, beating him; |
|
| 64 and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee? |
|
| 65 And they said many other injurious things to him. |
|
| |
|
| 66 And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying, |
|
| 67 If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;
|
|
| 68 and if I should ask you, ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;
|
|
| 69 but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
|
|
| 70 And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am.
|
|
| 71 And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth? |
