Matthew 26
1 After Jesus had said all this, he told his disciples,
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,
2 “You know that it's Passover in two days time, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified.”
“Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ Πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of Caiaphas, the high priest.
Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα,
4 There they plotted to arrest Jesus on some deceitful pretext and kill him.
καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν.
5 But they said, “Let's not do this during the festival so that the people don't riot.”
Ἔλεγον δέ, “Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ.”
6 While Jesus was staying at Simon the leper's house in Bethany,
Τοῦ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ Σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ,
7 a woman came over to him carrying an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' head while he was sitting eating. But when the disciples saw what she did, they were upset.
προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου βαρυτίμου, καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.
8 “What a terrible waste!” they objected.
Ἰδόντες δὲ, οἱ μαθηταὶ ἠγανάκτησαν λέγοντες, “Εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη;
9 “This perfume could've been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor!”
Ἐδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.”
10 Jesus was aware of what was going on and told them, “Why are you upset with this woman? She's done something wonderful for me!
Γνοὺς δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; Ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ.
11 You'll always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.
Πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
12 By pouring this perfume on my body she's prepared me for burial.
Βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου, πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν.
13 I tell you the truth: wherever in the world this good news is spread, the story of what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς.”
14 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the chief priests
Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
15 and asked them, “How much will you pay me for betraying Jesus to you?” They paid him thirty silver coins.
εἶπεν, “Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι, κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν;” Οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
16 From then on he looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν, ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.
17 On the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you to eat?”
Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν Ἀζύμων, προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, “Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ Πάσχα;”
18 Jesus told them, “Go into the city and find this particular man, and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is approaching. I'm coming to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῷ, ‘Ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει, “Ὁ καιρός μου ἐγγύς ἐστιν· πρὸς σὲ ποιῶ τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου.”’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus told them, and prepared the Passover meal there.
Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ Πάσχα.
20 When evening came he sat down to eat with the Twelve.
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα,
21 While they were eating he told them, “I tell you the truth: one of you is going to betray me.”
καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.”
22 They were extremely upset. One after the other they asked him, “Lord, it's not me, is it?”
Καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα, ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς ἕκαστος, αὐτῶν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ˚Κύριε;”
23 “The one who's dipped his hand into the dish with me will betray me,” Jesus replied.
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ, οὗτός με παραδώσει.
24 “The Son of man will die just as it was prophesied about him, but what a disaster it will be for the man who betrays the Son of man! It would be better for that man if he'd never been born!”
Ὁ μὲν Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται. Καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.”
25 Judas, the one who would betray Jesus, asked “It's not me, is it, Rabbi?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας, ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, Ῥαββί;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Σὺ εἶπας.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave pieces to the disciples. “Take and eat this for it is my body,” said Jesus.
Ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν, λαβὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἄρτον, καὶ εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἶπεν, “Λάβετε, φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.”
27 Then he picked up the cup, blessed it, and gave it to them. “Drink from it, all of you,” he told them.
Καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες,
28 “For this is my blood of the agreement, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης, τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
29 However, I tell you, I won't drink this fruit of the vine until the day I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπʼ ἄρτι ἐκ τούτου τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω μεθʼ ὑμῶν καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Πατρός μου.”
30 After they'd sung a song, they left for the Mount of Olives.
Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες, ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
31 “All of you will abandon me tonight,” Jesus told them. “As Scripture says, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the flock of sheep will be completely scattered.’
Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Πάντες ὑμεῖς σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, γέγραπται γάρ, ‘Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται τὰ πρόβατα τῆς ποίμνης.’
32 But after I have risen, I'll go ahead of you to Galilee.”
Μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με, προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.”
33 But Peter objected, “Even if everyone else abandons you, I'll never abandon you.”
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Εἰ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν σοί, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι.”
34 “I'm telling you the truth,” Jesus told him, “This very night, before the cock crows, you'll deny me three times.”
Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι ὅτι ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με.”
35 “Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!” Peter insisted. And all the disciples said the same thing.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος, “Κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι.” Ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον.
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He told them, “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”
Τότε ἔρχεται μετʼ αὐτῶν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς χωρίον λεγόμενον Γεθσημανὶ, καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, “Καθίσατε αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀπελθὼν ἐκεῖ προσεύξωμαι.”
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and he began to suffer agonizing sorrow and distress.
Καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ζεβεδαίου, ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν.
38 Then he said to them, “I am so overwhelmed with sadness that it's killing me. Wait here and keep watch with me.”
Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε μετʼ ἐμοῦ.”
39 He went a little farther forward, fell face down, and prayed. “My Father, please, if it's possible, let this cup of suffering be taken from me,” Jesus asked. “Even so, may it not be what I want but what you want.”
Καὶ προσελθὼν μικρὸν, ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων, “Πάτερ μου, εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν, παρελθάτω ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο. Πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω, ἀλλʼ ὡς σύ.”
40 He went back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “What, you couldn't stay awake with me for just one hour?
Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετʼ ἐμοῦ;
41 Stay awake and pray, so that you don't fall into temptation. Yes, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν. Τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed. “My Father, if this cup cannot be taken from me without me drinking from it, then your will be done,” he said.
Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων, “Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου.”
43 He went back and found them sleeping, for they just couldn't stay awake.
Καὶ ἐλθὼν πάλιν, εὗρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι.
44 So he left them once more, and went off and prayed a third time, repeating the same things.
Καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἀπελθὼν, προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν πάλιν.
45 Then he returned to the disciples, and told them, “How can you still be sleeping and resting? Look, the time has come. The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners!
Τότε ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε; Ἰδοὺ, ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα, καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν.
46 Get up, let's go! See, the one who's betraying me has arrived.”
Ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν! Ἰδοὺ, ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με!”
47 As he said this, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived with a large mob armed with swords and clubs sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
Καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἰδοὺ, Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ.
48 The betrayer had arranged to give them a signal: “The one that I kiss, that's him—arrest him,” he'd told them.
Ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, “Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω, αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν.”
49 Judas came up to Jesus immediately, and said, “Hello, Rabbi,” and kissed him.
Καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, “Χαῖρε, Ῥαββί, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.”
50 “My friend, do what you came to do,” Jesus said to Judas. So they came and grabbed hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἑταῖρε, Ἐφʼ ὃ πάρει;” Τότε προσελθόντες, ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
51 One of those who was with Jesus reached for his sword and pulled it out. He struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, εἷς τῶν μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον.
52 But Jesus told him, “Put your sword away. Everyone who fights with the sword will die by the sword.
Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν, ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται.
53 Don't you think I could ask my Father, and he'd immediately send more than twelve legions of angels?
Ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι ἄρτι παρακαλέσαι τὸν Πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι πλείω δώδεκα λεγεῶνων ἀγγέλων;
54 But then how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must be like this?”
Πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;”
55 Then Jesus told the mob, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I was some kind of dangerous criminal? Every day I sat in the Temple teaching and you didn't arrest me then.
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, εἶπεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις, “Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; Καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων, καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με.
56 But all this is happening to fulfill what the prophets wrote.” Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.
Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν.” Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες, ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
57 Those who'd arrested Jesus took him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the religious teachers and elders had gathered.
Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.
58 Peter followed him at a distance, and went into the high priest's courtyard. He sat there with the guards to see how things would end.
Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω, ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος.
59 The chief priests and the whole council were trying to find some false evidence against Jesus so they could put him to death.
Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ Συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν,
60 But they couldn't find anything, even though many false witnesses came forward. Eventually two came forward
καὶ οὐχ εὗρον, πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο
61 and reported, “This man said, ‘I can destroy God's Temple, and rebuild it in three days.’”
εἶπον, “Οὗτος ἔφη, ‘Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν αὑτόν οἰκοδομῆσαι.’”
62 The high priest stood up and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What do you have to say in your defense?”
Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ, τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;”
63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to Jesus, “In the name of the living God I place you under oath. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. Καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
64 “You said it,” Jesus replied. “And I also tell you that in the future you'll see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Σὺ εἶπας. Πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπʼ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ‘καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν’ τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ‘ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ’.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, “He's speaking blasphemy! Why do we need any witnesses? Look, now you've heard for yourselves his blasphemy!
Τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; Ἴδε, νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν.
66 What's your verdict?” “Guilty! He deserves to die!” they answered.
Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ;” Οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον, “Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν.”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him. Some of them slapped him with their hands,
Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν
68 and said, “Prophesy to us, you ‘Messiah’! Who just hit you?”
λέγοντες, “Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, ˚Χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;”
69 Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him, and said, “You were with Jesus the Galilean too!”
Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἐκάθητο ἔξω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ μία παιδίσκη λέγουσα, “Καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Γαλιλαίου.”
70 But he denied it in front of everyone. “I don't know what you're talking about,” he said.
Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν πάντων λέγων, “Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.”
71 When he went back to the courtyard entrance another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Ἐξελθόντα δὲ εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἐκεῖ, “Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου.”
72 Once again he denied it, saying with an oath, “I don't know him.”
Καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μετὰ ὅρκου, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
73 A little while later the people standing there came up to Peter and said, “You definitely are one of them. Your accent gives you away.”
Μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ, καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλόν σε ποιεῖ.”
74 Then he started to swear: “Curses on me if I'm a liar! I don't know the man!” Immediately the cock crowed.
Τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον!” Καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the cock crows, three times you will deny knowing me.” He went outside and wept bitterly.
Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος ˚Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος, ὅτι “Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με”. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω, ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
