Matthew 26
1 And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,
Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt alle disse Ord, sagde han til sine Disciple:
2 After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.
„I vide, at om to Dage er det Paaske; saa forraades Menneskesønnen til at korsfæstes.‟
3 Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.
Da forsamledes Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste i Ypperstepræstens Gaard; han hed Kajfas.
4 And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.
Og de raadsloge om at gribe Jesus med List og ihjelslaa ham.
5 But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.
Men de sagde: „Ikke paa Højtiden, for at der ikke skal blive Oprør iblandt Folket.‟
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
Men da Jesus var kommen til Bethania, i Simon den spedalskes Hus,
7 There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at 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 But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Men da Disciplene saa det, bleve de vrede og sagde: „Hvortil denne Spilde?
9 For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.
Dette kunde jo være solgt til en høj Pris og være givet til fattige.‟
10 But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act 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 For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
Thi de fattige have I altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.
12 For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.
Thi da hun udgød denne Salve over mit Legeme, gjorde hun det for at berede mig til at begraves.
13 Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of 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 Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,
Da gik en af de tolv, han, som hed Judas Iskariot, hen til Ypperstepræsterne
15 What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.
og sagde: „Hvad ville I give mig, saa skal jeg forraade ham til eder?‟ Men de betalte ham tredive Sølvpenge.
16 And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.
Og fra den Stund søgte han Lejlighed til at forraade ham.
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
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 And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.
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 And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.
Og Disciplene gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem, og beredte Paaskelammet.
20 Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;
Men da det var blevet Aften, sad han til Bords med de tolv.
21 And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.
Og medens de spiste, sagde han: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, en af eder vil forraade mig.‟
22 And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?
Og de bleve saare bedrøvede og begyndte hver især at sige til ham: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Herre?‟
23 And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.
Men han svarede og sagde: „Den, som dyppede Haanden tillige med mig i Fadet, han vil forraade mig.
24 The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.
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 And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.
Men Judas, som forraadte ham, svarede og sagde: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Rabbi?‟ Han siger til ham: „Du har sagt det.‟
26 And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take 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 And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,
Og han tog en Kalk og takkede, gav dem den og sagde: „Drikker alle deraf;
28 Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.
thi dette er mit Blod, Pagtens, hvilket udgydes for mange til Syndernes Forladelse.
29 But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
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 And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
Og da de havde sunget Lovsangen, gik de ud til Oliebjerget.
31 Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.
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 am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
Men efter at jeg er bleven oprejst, vil jeg gaa forud for eder til Galilæa.‟
33 But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.
Men Peter svarede og sagde til ham: „Om end alle ville forarges paa dig, saa vil jeg dog aldrig forarges.‟
34 Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
Jesus sagde til ham: „Sandelig, siger jeg dig, i denne Nat, førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange.‟
35 Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.
Peter siger til ham: „Om jeg end skulde dø med dig, vil jeg ingenlunde fornægte dig.‟ Ligesaa sagde ogsaa alle Disciplene.
36 Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.
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 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.
Og han tog Peter og Zebedæus's to Sønner med sig, og han begyndte at bedrøves og svarlig at ængstes.
38 Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.
Da siger han til dem: „Min Sjæl er dybt bedrøvet indtil Døden; bliver her og vaager med mig!‟
39 And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
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 And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me 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 Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
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 said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure 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 he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.
Og han kom og fandt dem atter sovende, thi deres Øjne vare betyngede.
44 And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.
Og han forlod dem og gik atter hen og bad tredje Gang og sagde atter det samme Ord.
45 Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.
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, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.
Staar op, lader os gaa; se, han, som forraader mig, er nær.‟
47 And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over 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 false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.
Men han, som forraadte ham, havde givet dem et Tegn og sagt: „Den, som jeg kysser, ham er det; griber ham!‟
49 And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.
Og han traadte straks hen til Jesus og sagde: „Hil være dig, Rabbi!‟ og kyssede ham.
50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.
Men Jesus sagde til ham: „Ven, hvorfor kommer du her?‟ Da traadte de til og lagde Haand paa Jesus og grebe ham.
51 And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting 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 Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by 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 Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?
Eller mener du, at jeg ikke kan bede min Fader, saa han nu tilskikker mig mere end tolv Legioner Engle?
54 But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
Hvorledes skulde da Skrifterne opfyldes, at det bør gaa saaledes til?‟
55 In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.
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 But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
Men det er alt sammen sket, for at Profeternes Skrifter skulde opfyldes.‟ Da forlode alle Disciplene ham og flyede.
57 And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.
Men de, som havde grebet Jesus, førte ham hen til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas, hvor de skriftkloge og de Ældste vare forsamlede.
58 But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.
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 Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;
Men Ypperstepræsterne og hele Raadet søgte falsk Vidnesbyrd imod Jesus, for at de kunde aflive ham.
60 And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.
Og de fandt intet, endskønt der traadte mange falske Vidner frem. Men til sidst traadte to frem og sagde:
61 But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.
„Denne har sagt: Jeg kan nedbryde Guds Tempel og bygge det op i tre Dage.‟
62 And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?
Og Ypperstepræsten stod op og sagde til ham: „Svarer du intet paa, hvad disse vidne imod dig?‟
63 But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if 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 Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
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, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:
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 opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.
Hvad tykkes eder?‟ Og de svarede og sagde: „Han er skyldig til Døden.‟
67 Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,
Da spyttede de ham i Ansigtet og gave ham Næveslag; andre sloge ham paa Kinden
68 Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
og sagde: „Profetér os, Kristus, hvem var det, der slog dig?‟
69 Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.
Men Peter sad udenfor i Gaarden; og en Pige kom hen til ham og sagde: „Ogsaa du var med Jesus Galilæeren.‟
70 But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.
Men han nægtede det i alles Paahør og sagde: „Jeg forstaar ikke, hvad du siger.‟
71 And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
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 And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.
Og han nægtede det atter med en Ed: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟
73 And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
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 with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.
Da begyndte han at forbande sig og sværge: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟ Og straks galede Hanen.
75 And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping 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.
