Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass when finished Jesus all words these, He said to the disciples of Him;
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, 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.
Ye know that after two days cometh the passover; and the Son of man is 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 elders of the people assembled in the court of the palace of the high-priest, named Caiaphas;
4 and they plotted together in order that Jesus by guile they may seize and may kill.
and took counsel together that they might seize Jesus by craft, and put him to death.
5 They were saying however; Not [seize him] during the feast, that not a riot may happen among the people.
But they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 And of Jesus having been in Bethany in [the] house of Simon the leper
Now when Jesus was at 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.
there came to him a woman having an alabaster bottle of very costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.
8 Having seen then the disciples (of him *k*) became indignant saying; For what purpose [is] the waste this?
But the disciples seeing it, were much displeased, saying, To what purpose is 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 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.
And Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? For she hath done a good deed to me.
11 Always for the poor you have with yourselves, Me myself however not always you have.
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 In pouring for this [woman] fragrant oil this on the body of Mine for to bury Me she did [it].
For she, in pouring this ointment on my body, hath done 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 do I say to you, Wherever these glad tidings shall be published in the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for 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, 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 will ye give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And they paid him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he was seeking an opportunity that Him he may betray.
And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up.
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?
And on the first of the days of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee 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.’
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And did the disciples as directed them Jesus, and prepared the Passover.
And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
20 As evening now having arrived He was reclining with the twelve (disciples. *O*)
And when evening came, he took his place at table with the twelve disciples.
21 And when were eating they He said; Amen I say to you that one of you will betray Me.
And as they were eating, he said, Truly do I say to 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 exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one to say to him, Is it I, Lord?
23 And answering He said; The [one] having dipped with Me the hand in the dish he Me will betray.
And he answering said, He that hath dipped his hand with me in the dish, he 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 indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it 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.
Then Judas, his betrayer, answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him, It is.
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.
And, as they were eating, Jesus took a loaf, and having blessed, broke it, and gave it 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;
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of 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 covenant, which is shed for many for remission 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.
And I say to you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
30 And having sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.
And having sung a 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 saith to them, This night will all of you fall away from me; for it is written, “I will smite 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 have risen, 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.
Peter answering said to him, Though all should fall away from thee, yet will I never fall away.
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 do I say to thee, that this night, before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me.
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 saith to him, Even if I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And so said all the disciples.
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 cometh with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, Sit here, while I go yonder 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.
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to he sorrowful and full of anguish.
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 saith to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death; remain 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.
And he came a little nearer, and fell on his face, praying and saying, Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me! nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt.
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?
And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, Is it so that ye could not watch with me 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 ye enter not 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 he went away a second time, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this [[cup]] cannot pass away from me, but I must drink it, thy will be done!
43 And having come again (He found *N(k)O*) them sleeping; were for of them the eyes wearied.
And coming again he 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*)
And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, saying again 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 cometh to the disciples, and saith to them, Sleep on, and take your rest! Lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46 do rise up let us go; Behold he has drawn near who is betraying Me!
Rise, let us be going; lo! he is at hand that delivereth me up.
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.
And while he was yet speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude 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.
And his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him.
49 And immediately having come up to Jesus he said; Greetings Rabbi, and kissed Him.
And immediately going up to Jesus, he said, Hail, 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.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what hast thou come! Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and seized 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, lo! one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high-priest, and cut 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 saith to him, Put back thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword will perish 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?
Dost thou think that I cannot pray to my Father, and he will now give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 How then may be fulfilled the Scriptures that so it must be being?
But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
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 multitudes, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me; I sat daily teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hands on 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 hath been done, that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook 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.
And they who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high-priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
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 at a distance, as far as to the court of the high-priest's palace, and went 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)*)
And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, to 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, though many false witnesses came forward. But at last came two,
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 affirmed, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it within three days.
62 And having stood up the high priest said to Him; No [thing] answer you? What these you do witness against?
And the high-priest arose, and said to him, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee?
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 was silent. And the high-priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art 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 saith to him, I am. Moreover I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
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 rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? See! ye have now heard the blasphemy.
66 What you do think? And answering they said; Deserving of death He is.
What think ye? They answered and said, He should be punished with death.
67 Then they spat in the face of Him and struck Him. Others then slapped [Him]
Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 saying; do prophesy to us, Christ, who is the [one] having struck You?
saying, Prophesy to us, O Messiah! who it was that struck thee.
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 court. And a maid-servant came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.
70 And he denied before (them *k*) all saying; Not I know what you say.
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
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 into the porch, another woman saw him, and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 And again he denied with an oath that Not I know the man.
And again he denied 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.
And shortly after, they who were standing by came and said to Peter, Surely thou too art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
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, saying, I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crew.
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.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said, Before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
