Matthew 26
1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed all these words, he said to his disciples,
Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt alle disse Ord, sagde han til sine Disciple:
2 “You know that after two days the Passover will begin, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
„I vide, at om to Dage er det Paaske; saa forraades Menneskesønnen til at korsfæstes.‟
3 Then the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
Da forsamledes Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste i Ypperstepræstens Gaard; han hed Kajfas.
4 And they took counsel so that by deceitfulness they might take hold of Jesus and kill him.
Og de raadsloge om at gribe Jesus med List og ihjelslaa ham.
5 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”
Men de sagde: „Ikke paa Højtiden, for at der ikke skal blive Oprør iblandt Folket.‟
6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
Men da Jesus var kommen til Bethania, i Simon den spedalskes Hus,
7 a woman drew near to him, holding an alabaster box of precious ointment, and she poured it over his head while he was reclining 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 the disciples, seeing this, were indignant, saying: “What is the purpose of this waste?
Men da Disciplene saa det, bleve de vrede og sagde: „Hvortil denne Spilde?
9 For this could have been sold for a great deal, so as to be given to the poor.”
Dette kunde jo være solgt til en høj Pris og være givet til fattige.‟
10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why are you bothering this woman? For she has done a good deed 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 will always have with you. But you will not always have me.
Thi de fattige have I altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has prepared for my burial.
Thi da hun udgød denne Salve over mit Legeme, gjorde hun det for at berede mig til at begraves.
13 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel will be preached in the whole world, what she has done also shall be told, 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 called Judas Iscariot, went to the leaders of the priests,
Da gik en af de tolv, han, som hed Judas Iskariot, hen til Ypperstepræsterne
15 and he said to them, “What are you willing to give me, if I hand him over to you?” So they appointed thirty pieces of silver for him.
og sagde: „Hvad ville I give mig, saa skal jeg forraade ham til eder?‟ Men de betalte ham tredive Sølvpenge.
16 And from then on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.
Og fra den Stund søgte han Lejlighed til at forraade ham.
17 Then, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
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 So Jesus said, “Go into the city, to a certain one, and say to him: ‘The Teacher said: My time is near. I am observing the Passover with you, along 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 just as Jesus appointed to them. And they prepared the Passover.
Og Disciplene gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem, og beredte Paaskelammet.
20 Then, when evening arrived, he sat at table with his twelve disciples.
Men da det var blevet Aften, sad han til Bords med de tolv.
21 And while they were eating, he said: “Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.”
Og medens de spiste, sagde han: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, en af eder vil forraade mig.‟
22 And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, “Surely, it is not I, Lord?”
Og de bleve saare bedrøvede og begyndte hver især at sige til ham: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Herre?‟
23 But he responded by saying: “He who dips his hand with me into the dish, the same will betray me.
Men han svarede og sagde: „Den, som dyppede Haanden tillige med mig i Fadet, han vil forraade mig.
24 Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written about him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
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 Then Judas, who betrayed him, responded by saying, “Surely, it is not I, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
Men Judas, som forraadte ham, svarede og sagde: „Det er dog vel ikke mig, Rabbi?‟ Han siger til ham: „Du har sagt det.‟
26 Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: “Take and eat. 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 taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from this, all of you.
Og han tog en Kalk og takkede, gav dem den og sagde: „Drikker alle deraf;
28 For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.
thi dette er mit Blod, Pagtens, hvilket udgydes for mange til Syndernes Forladelse.
29 But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
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 hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Og da de havde sunget Lovsangen, gik de ud til Oliebjerget.
31 Then Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
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 have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”
Men efter at jeg er bleven oprejst, vil jeg gaa forud for eder til Galilæa.‟
33 Then Peter responded by saying to him, “Even if everyone else has fallen away from you, I will never fall 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, “Amen I say to you, that in this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Jesus sagde til ham: „Sandelig, siger jeg dig, i denne Nat, førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange.‟
35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you.” And all the disciples spoke similarly.
Peter siger til ham: „Om jeg end skulde dø med dig, vil jeg ingenlunde fornægte dig.‟ Ligesaa sagde ogsaa alle Disciplene.
36 Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit down here, while I go there and pray.”
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 taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened.
Og han tog Peter og Zebedæus's to Sønner med sig, og han begyndte at bedrøves og svarlig at ængstes.
38 Then he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”
Da siger han til dem: „Min Sjæl er dybt bedrøvet indtil Døden; bliver her og vaager med mig!‟
39 And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will.”
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 approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for 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 Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
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 and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will 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 again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Og han kom og fandt dem atter sovende, thi deres Øjne vare betyngede.
44 And leaving them behind, again he went and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.
Og han forlod dem og gik atter hen og bad tredje Gang og sagde atter det samme Ord.
45 Then he approached his disciples and said to them: “Sleep now and rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
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 Rise up; let us go. Behold, he who will betray me draws near.”
Staar op, lader os gaa; se, han, som forraader mig, er nær.‟
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of 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 And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: “Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him.”
Men han, som forraadte ham, havde givet dem et Tegn og sagt: „Den, som jeg kysser, ham er det; griber ham!‟
49 And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, “Hail, Master.” And he kissed him.
Og han traadte straks hen til Jesus og sagde: „Hil være dig, Rabbi!‟ og kyssede ham.
50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what purpose have you come?” Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held 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 behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, 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 Jesus said to him: “Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish 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 Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels?
Eller mener du, at jeg ikke kan bede min Fader, saa han nu tilskikker mig mere end tolv Legioner Engle?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must be so?”
Hvorledes skulde da Skrifterne opfyldes, at det bør gaa saaledes til?‟
55 In that same hour, Jesus said to the crowds: “You went out, as if to a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me. Yet I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not take hold of me.
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 happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples fled, abandoning him.
Men det er alt sammen sket, for at Profeternes Skrifter skulde opfyldes.‟ Da forlode alle Disciplene ham og flyede.
57 But those who were holding Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had joined together.
Men de, som havde grebet Jesus, førte ham hen til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas, hvor de skriftkloge og de Ældste vare forsamlede.
58 Then Peter followed him from a distance, as far as the court of the high priest. And going inside, he sat down with the servants, so that he might 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 Then the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death.
Men Ypperstepræsterne og hele Raadet søgte falsk Vidnesbyrd imod Jesus, for at de kunde aflive ham.
60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. Then, at the very end, two false witnesses came forward,
Og de fandt intet, endskønt der traadte mange falske Vidner frem. Men til sidst traadte to frem og sagde:
61 and they said, “This man said: ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and, after three days, to rebuild it.’”
„Denne har sagt: Jeg kan nedbryde Guds Tempel og bygge det op i tre Dage.‟
62 And the high priest, rising up, said to him, “Have you nothing to respond to what these ones testify against you?”
Og Ypperstepræsten stod op og sagde til ham: „Svarer du intet paa, hvad disse vidne imod dig?‟
63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I bind you by an oath to the living God to tell 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 said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, 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 tore his garments, saying: “He has blasphemed. Why do we still need witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy.
Da sønderrev Ypperstepræsten sine Klæder og sagde: „Han har talt bespotteligt; hvad have vi længere Vidner nødig? se, nu have I hørt Bespottelsen.
66 How does it seem to you?” So they responded by saying, “He is guilty unto death.”
Hvad tykkes eder?‟ Og de svarede og sagde: „Han er skyldig til Døden.‟
67 Then they spit in his face, and they struck him with fists. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
Da spyttede de ham i Ansigtet og gave ham Næveslag; andre sloge ham paa Kinden
68 saying: “Prophesy for us, O Christ. Who is the one that struck you?”
og sagde: „Profetér os, Kristus, hvem var det, der slog dig?‟
69 Yet truly, Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a maidservant approached him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
Men Peter sad udenfor i Gaarden; og en Pige kom hen til ham og sagde: „Ogsaa du var med Jesus Galilæeren.‟
70 But he denied it in the sight of them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
Men han nægtede det i alles Paahør og sagde: „Jeg forstaar ikke, hvad du siger.‟
71 Then, as he exited by the gate, another maidservant saw him. And she said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
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 denied it with an oath, “For I do not know the man.”
Og han nægtede det atter med en Ed: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟
73 And after a little while, those who were standing nearby came and said to Peter: “Truly, you also are one of them. For even your manner of speaking reveals 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 he began to curse and to swear that he had not known the man. And immediately the rooster crowed.
Da begyndte han at forbande sig og sværge: „Jeg kender ikke det Menneske.‟ Og straks galede Hanen.
75 And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And going outside, he wept 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.
