1 And it came to pass when finished Jesus all words these, He said to the disciples of Him;
And it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,
2 You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man is delivered over to be crucified.
"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Then were gathered together the chief priests (and scribes *K*) and the elders of the people in the courtyard of the high priest who is being named Caiaphas
Then the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 and they plotted together in order that Jesus by guile they may seize and may kill.
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.
5 They were saying however; Not [seize him] during the feast, that not a riot may happen among the people.
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."
6 And of Jesus having been in Bethany in [the] house of Simon the leper
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 came to Him a woman having an alabaster flask of fragrant oil very costly and poured [it] on (the head *N(k)O*) when he is reclining.
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Having seen then the disciples (of him *k*) became indignant saying; For what purpose [is] the waste this?
But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
9 It was possible for this (*k*) (fragrant oil *K*) to be sold for much and to be given to [the] poor.
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
10 Having known [this] now Jesus said to them; Why trouble do you cause to the woman? A work for beautiful she did to Me myself.
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
11 Always for the poor you have with yourselves, Me myself however not always you have.
For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me.
12 In pouring for this [woman] fragrant oil this on the body of Mine for to bury Me she did [it].
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Amen I say to you; wherever if shall be proclaimed gospel this in all the world, will be spoken of also that which did this [woman] for a memorial of her.
Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."
14 Then having gone one of the Twelve, the [one] being named Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 he said; What are you willing me to give, and I myself and I myself to you will betray Him? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.
and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he was seeking an opportunity that Him he may betray.
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 On the now first [day] of the unleavened [bread] came the disciples to Jesus saying (to him: *k*) Where wish you [that] (we may prepare *NK(o)*) for You to eat the Passover?
Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18 And He said; do go into the city unto a certain man and do tell him: the Teacher says; The time for Me near is, with you I keep the Passover with the disciples of Mine.’
He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"
19 And did the disciples as directed them Jesus, and prepared the Passover.
The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 As evening now having arrived He was reclining with the twelve (disciples. *O*)
Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 And when were eating they He said; Amen I say to you that one of you will betray Me.
As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 And being grieved exceedingly they began to say to Him one each (of them: *k*) surely not ever I myself is it, Lord?
And they were greatly distressed, and each one began to ask him, "It is not me, is it, Lord?"
23 And answering He said; The [one] having dipped with Me the hand in the dish he Me will betray.
He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
24 Indeed the Son of Man goes even as it has been written about Him, woe however for the man that [one] through whom the Son of Man is betrayed; Better was being for him if not was born the man that.
The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
25 Answering now Judas who is betraying Him said; surely not ever I myself is it, Rabbi? He says to him; You yourself have said.
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It is not me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
26 When were eating now they having taken Jesus (*k*) bread and (having blessed *NK(O)*) broke [it], and (giving *N(k)O*) to the disciples (and *k*) He said; do take do eat; this is the body of Me.
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
27 And having taken (*k*) a cup and having given thanks He gave [it] to them saying; do drink of it all of you;
He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
28 This for is the blood of Mine (*k*) of the (of a new *KO*) covenant for many being poured out for forgiveness of sins.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I say now to you (that: *k*) certainly not shall I drink from now of this the (fruit *N(k)O*) of the vine until the day that when it I may drink with you anew in the kingdom of the Father of Mine.
But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."
30 And having sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then says to them Jesus; All you yourselves will fall away because of Me myself during night this; It has been written for: I will strike the shepherd, and (they will be scattered *N(k)O*) the sheep of the flock.’
Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32 After however to raise Me I will go before you into Galilee.
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
33 Answering now Peter said to Him; If (even *k*) all will fall away because of You, I myself (but *k*) never will fall away.
But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
34 was saying to him Jesus; Amen I say to you that during this night before [the] rooster crowing three times you will deny Me.
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
35 Says to Him Peter; Even if Even if it shall be necessary for me with You to die, certainly not You (I will deny. *NK(o)*) Likewise (now *o*) also all the disciples said.
Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Then comes with them Jesus to a place being named Gethsemane and He says to the disciples; do sit here until that having gone away over there I may pray.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
37 And having taken with [Him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee He began to be sorrowful and to be deeply distressed.
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38 Then He says to them (*o*) (Jesus: *O*) Very sorrowful is the soul of Mine until death; do remain here and do watch with Me.
Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
39 And (having gone forward *NK(o)*) a little He fell upon face of Him praying and saying; Father of Mine, if possible it is, should pass from Me cup this; Nevertheless not [it is] as I myself wish but as You.
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
40 And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping And He says to Peter; Thus not were you able one hour to watch with Me?
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
41 do watch and do pray that not you may enter into temptation. The indeed spirit [is] willing however the flesh weak.
Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Again for a second time having gone away He prayed saying; Father of Mine, if not is possible this (cup *K*) to pass (from Me *k*) only unless it I shall drink, [then] should be [done] the will of You.
Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, your desire be done."
43 And having come again (He found *N(k)O*) them sleeping; were for of them the eyes wearied.
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 And having left them again having gone away He prayed for [the] third time the same thing having said (again. *no*)
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Then He comes to the disciples (of him *k*) and says to them; Sleep later on and take your rest; Behold has drawn near the hour, and the Son of Man is betrayed into [the] hands of sinners.
Then he came to the disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 do rise up let us go; Behold he has drawn near who is betraying Me!
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
47 And yet when he is speaking behold Judas one of the Twelve came, and with him a crowd great with swords and clubs from the chief priests and elders of the people.
While he was still speaking, look, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 The [one] then betraying Him gave to them a sign saying; Whomever maybe I may kiss, He himself it is; do seize Him.
Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."
49 And immediately having come up to Jesus he said; Greetings Rabbi, and kissed Him.
Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Greetings, Rabbi." and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said to him; Friend, [do] for (what *N(k)O*) you are come. Then having come to [him] they laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 And behold one of those with Jesus having stretched out the hand drew the sword of him, and having struck the servant of the high priest cut off of him the ear.
And look, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
52 Then says to him Jesus; do return the sword of you into the place of it; all for those having taken [the] sword by [the] sword (will perish. *NK(o)*)
Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 Or think you that not I am able to call upon the Father of Mine, and He will furnish to Me presently (more *N(k)O*) (than *k*) twelve (legions *N(k)O*) of angels?
Or do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 How then may be fulfilled the Scriptures that so it must be being?
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
55 In that [very] hour said Jesus to the crowds; As against a robber did you come out with swords and clubs to capture Me? Every day (to you *KO*) in the temple I was sitting teaching and not you did seize Me.
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.
56 This then all has come to pass that may be fulfilled the Scriptures of the prophets. Then the disciples all having forsaken Him fled.
But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
57 Those then having seized Jesus led [Him] away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58 And Peter was following Him from afar until the court of the high priest, And having entered within he was sitting with the guards to see the outcome.
But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 And the chief priests and (elders and *K*) the Council whole were seeking false testimony against Jesus so that him (they may put to death *NK(o)*)
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus so they could put him to death;
60 but not any they found (and *k*) of many having come forward as false witnesses (not they found. *k*) Finally then having come forward two (false witnesses *k*)
and they found none, even though many false witnesses came forward. But afterward two came forward,
61 they said; This [man] was saying: I am able to destroy the temple of God and in three days to rebuild it (him. *k*)
and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
62 And having stood up the high priest said to Him; No [thing] answer you? What these you do witness against?
The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"
63 And Jesus was silent. And (answering *k*) the high priest said to Him; I adjure you by God the living that us may you tell if You yourself are the Christ the Son of God.
But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 Says to him Jesus; You yourself have said. But I say to you; from now you will behold the Son of Man sitting at [the] right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
65 Then the high priest tears the garments of him saying (that: *k*) He has blasphemed; why any more need have we of witnesses? Behold now you have heard the blasphemy (of him. *k*)
Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy. Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 What you do think? And answering they said; Deserving of death He is.
What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."
67 Then they spat in the face of Him and struck Him. Others then slapped [Him]
Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 saying; do prophesy to us, Christ, who is the [one] having struck You?
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ. Who hit you?"
69 And Peter was sitting outside in the court. and came to him one servant girl saying; Also You yourself were with Jesus the Galilean.
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean."
70 And he denied before (them *k*) all saying; Not I know what you say.
But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71 Having gone out then (him *k*) to the porch saw him another [servant girl] and she says (to those *NK(o)*) there; (and *ko*) This [man] was with Jesus of Nazareth.
And when he had gone out onto the porch, another girl saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus the Nazorean."
72 And again he denied with an oath that Not I know the man.
Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
73 After a little while also having come to [him] those having stood they said to Peter; Surely also you yourself of them are; even for the speech of you away you gives.
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent makes you known."
74 Then he began to curse and to swear that Not I know the man! And immediately a rooster crowed.
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the rooster crowed.
75 And remembered Peter the declaration (*k*) of Jesus having said (to him *k*) that Before [the] rooster crowing three times you will deny Me, And having gone out he wept bitterly.
Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
