| 1 And the feast of the unleavened bread, which is called a Passover, was drawing near. |
|
| 2 And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people. |
|
| 3 But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve; |
|
| 4 and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up. |
|
| 5 And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver; |
|
| 6 and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them. |
|
| |
|
| 7 Now the day of the unleavened bread a came,–on which it was needful to be sacrificing the passover. |
|
| 8 And he sent forth Peter and John, saying–Go, and make ready, for us, the passover, that we may eat. |
|
| 9 And, they, said unto him–Where wiliest thou, we should make ready? |
|
| 10 And, he, said unto them–Lo! when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man, bearing, an earthen-jar of water: follow him into the house into which he is entering. |
|
| 11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house–The teacher saith unto thee, where is the lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat? |
|
| 12 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper room, spread: there, make ready. |
|
| 13 And, departing, they found according as he had said unto them, and made ready the passover. |
|
| 14 And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him. |
|
| 15 And he said unto them–I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer; |
|
| 16 For, I say unto you–In nowise shall I eat it, until it have been fulfilled in the kingdom of God. |
|
| 17 And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said–Take this, and divide among yourselves; |
|
| 18 For, I say unto you–In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come. |
|
| 19 And, taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave unto them, saying–This is my body [which in your behalf is being given: this, be ye doing, in remembrance, of me.] |
|
| 20 [And–the cup, in like manner, after the taking of supper, saying–This cup, is the new covenant in my blood, which, in your behalf, is to be poured out.] |
|
| |
|
| 21 Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table. |
|
| 22 Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up. |
|
| 23 And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate! |
|
| 24 And it came to pass that there was, a rivalry also, among them, as to which of them seemed to be greater [than the rest]. |
|
| 25 And, he, said unto them–The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called. |
|
| 26 But, ye, not so! On the contrary–the greater among you, Let him become as, the younger, and, he that governeth, as, he that ministereth, |
|
| 27 For which is greater–he that reclineth? or he that ministereth? Is not he that reclineth? But, I, am, in your midst, as he that ministereth, |
|
| 28 Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations; |
|
| 29 And, I, covenant unto you–as my Father hath covenanted unto me–a kingdom, |
|
| 30 That ye may eat and drink, at my table, in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging, the twelve tribes of Israel. |
|
| 31 Simon! Simon! lo! Satan, hath claimed you, to sift as wheat; |
|
| 32 But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren. |
|
| 33 But, he, said unto him–Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going. |
|
| 34 And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter–A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me. |
|
| 35 And he said unto them–When I sent you forth, without purse or satchel or sandals, of anything, came ye short? And, they, said–Of nothing! |
|
| 36 And he said unto them–But, now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, in like manner also, a satchel; and, he that hath nothing, let him sell his mantle, and buy a sword! |
|
| 37 For I say unto you–This that is written, must needs be completed in me,–And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion. |
|
| 38 And, they, said–Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them–'Tis, 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 out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him. |
|
| 40 And, coming up to the place, he said unto them–Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation. |
|
| 41 And, he, was torn from them about a stone's throw; and, bending his knees, he began to pray, |
|
| 42 saying–Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished. |
|
| 43 [And there appeared unto him a messenger from heaven, strengthening him,–] |
|
| 44 [and, coming to be in an agony, more intensely, was he praying; and his perspiration became, as if great drops of blood, falling upon the ground.] |
|
| 45 And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief; |
|
| 46 and he said unto them–Why are ye slumbering? Arise! and be praying, lest ye enter into temptation. |
|
| |
|
| 47 While yet he was speaking, lo! a multitude; and, he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them on,–and he drew near unto Jesus, to kiss him. |
|
| 48 But, Jesus, said to him–Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up? |
|
| 49 And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said–Lord! shall we smite with the sword? |
|
| 50 And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest's, servant, and took off his right ear. |
|
| 51 But Jesus, answering, said–Let be–as long as this! . . . And, touching the ear, he healed him. |
|
| 52 And Jesus said unto the High-priests, and Captains of the temple, and Elders, who had come against him–As against a robber, have ye come out, with swords and clubs? |
|
| 53 Daily, was I with you, in the temple, and yet ye stretched not forth your hands against me! . . . But, this, is your hour, and the authority of darkness. |
|
| |
|
| 54 And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar. |
|
| 55 And, they having kindled up a fire in the midst of the court, and taken seats together, Peter was for sitting among them. |
|
| 56 But, a certain maid-servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said–This one also, was, with him. |
|
| 57 But, he, denied, saying–I know him not, woman! |
|
| 58 And, after a little, another, beholding him, said–Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said–Man! I am not. |
|
| 59 And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying–Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean. |
|
| 60 But Peter said–Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew. |
|
| 61 And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him–Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice! |
|
| 62 [And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.] |
|
| |
|
| 63 And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows; |
|
| 64 and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying–Prophesy! which is he that smote thee? |
|
| 65 and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him. |
|
| 66 And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together–both High-priests and Scribes,–and they led him away into their high-council, saying–If, thou, art the Christ, tell us! |
|
| 67 But he said unto them–If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe, |
|
| 68 And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer; |
|
| 69 But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God. |
|
| 70 And they all said–Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said–Ye, say [it],–because, I, am. |
|
| 71 And, they, said–What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth. |
