Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had concluded all these discourses, that he said to his disciples:
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,
2 Ye know that after two days is the Passover; and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
“Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ Πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.”
3 Then assembled the chief priests and the Scribes and the Elders of the people, at the hall of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα,
4 And they held a counsel against Jesus, that they might take him by guile, and kill him.
καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν.
5 But they said: Not on the festival, lest there be a commotion among the people.
Ἔλεγον δέ, “Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ.”
6 And when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Τοῦ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ Σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ,
7 there came to him a woman having a vase of aromatic ointment very precious, and she poured it on the head of Jesus as he was reclining.
προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου βαρυτίμου, καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.
8 And when his disciples saw it they were displeased, and said: Why is this waste?
Ἰδόντες δὲ, οἱ μαθηταὶ ἠγανάκτησαν λέγοντες, “Εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη;
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor.
Ἐδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.”
10 But Jesus knew their dissatisfaction, and said to them: Why trouble ye the woman? She hath performed a good deed towards me.
Γνοὺς δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; Ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ.
11 For the poor ye have at all times with you; but I am not with you always
Πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
12 And this her act, pouring the ointment on my body, she hath done as it were for my burial.
Βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου, πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν.
13 Verily I say to you, That wherever this my gospel shall be proclaimed, in all the world, this thing that she hath done shall be told for a memorial 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 one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
15 and said to them: What will ye give me, if I will deliver him to you? And they promised him thirty pieces of silver.
εἶπεν, “Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι, κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν;” Οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν, ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.
17 And on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, and said to him: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover?
Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν Ἀζύμων, προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, “Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ Πάσχα;”
18 And he said to them: Go ye into the city, to such a man, and say to him: Our Rabbi saith, My time approaches: with thee will I keep the Passover with my disciples
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 And his disciples did as Jesus directed them, and made ready the Passover.
Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ Πάσχα.
20 And when it was evening, he reclined with his twelve disciples.
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα,
21 And as they were eating, he said: Verily I say to you, That one of you will betray me.
καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.”
22 And it troubled them much. And they began each one of them to say to him; My Lord is it I?
Καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα, ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς ἕκαστος, αὐτῶν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ˚Κύριε;”
23 And he answered and said: One that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he will betray me.
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ, οὗτός με παραδώσει.
24 And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had not 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 betrayer answered and said: Rabbi, is it I? Jesus said to him: Thou hast said.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας, ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, Ῥαββί;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Σὺ εἶπας.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake; and gave to his disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.
Ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν, λαβὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἄρτον, καὶ εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἶπεν, “Λάβετε, φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.”
27 And he took the cup, and offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: Take, drink of this all of you.
Καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες,
28 This is my blood of the new testament, which, in behalf of many, is shed for the remission of sins.
τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης, τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
29 But I say to you, that I will henceforth not drink of this product of the vine, until the day in which I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of God.
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 And they sang praises, and went forth to the mount of Olives.
Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες, ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
31 Then said Jesus to them: Ye will all be offended in me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be dispersed.
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 am arisen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με, προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.”
33 Cephas replied, and said to him: Though all men should be offended in thee, I will never be offended in thee.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Εἰ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν σοί, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι.”
34 Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt thrice deny me.
Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι ὅτι ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με.”
35 Cephas said to him: If I were to die with thee, I would not deny thee: and so also said all the disciples.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος, “Κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι.” Ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον.
36 Then came Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray.
Τότε ἔρχεται μετʼ αὐτῶν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς χωρίον λεγόμενον Γεθσημανὶ, καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, “Καθίσατε αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀπελθὼν ἐκεῖ προσεύξωμαι.”
37 And he took Cephas and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be dejected and sorrowful.
Καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ζεβεδαίου, ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν.
38 And he said to them: There is anguish in my soul, even unto death. Wait for me here; and watch with me.
Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε μετʼ ἐμοῦ.”
39 And retiring a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, and said: My Father, if it can be so, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I choose, but as thou.
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 And he came to his disciples, and found them asleep: and he said to Cephas: So! could ye not watch with me one hour?
Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετʼ ἐμοῦ;
41 Wake ye, and pray, lest ye fall into temptation. The mind is prepared, but the body is infirm.
Γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν. Τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής.”
42 Again he went away the second time, and prayed, and said: My Father, if it cannot be that this cup pass, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων, “Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου.”
43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Καὶ ἐλθὼν πάλιν, εὗρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι.
44 And he left them, and went again and prayed the third time, and used the same language.
Καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἀπελθὼν, προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν πάλιν.
45 Then he came to his disciples, and said to them: Sleep on now, and take rest. Behold, the hour is come: and the Son of man is 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 Arise, let us go. Behold, he that betrayeth me hath come.
Ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν! Ἰδοὺ, ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με!”
47 And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas the betrayer, one of the twelve, arrived; and a great multitude with him, with swords and clubs, from the presence of 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 And Judas the betrayer had given them a sign, saying: He it is, whom I shall kiss: him seize ye.
Ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, “Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω, αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν.”
49 And forthwith he approached Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
Καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, “Χαῖρε, Ῥαββί, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.”
50 And Jesus said to him: My friend, is it for this thou hast come? Then they came up, and laid their hands on Jesus, and took him.
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἑταῖρε, Ἐφʼ ὃ πάρει;” Τότε προσελθόντες, ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
51 And lo, one of them with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut 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 Then Jesus said to him: Return the sword to its place; for all they that take swords, shall die by swords.
Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν, ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται.
53 Supposest thou that I cannot ask of my Father, and he now assign me 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 how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;”
55 At that time Jesus said to the multitude: Have ye come out, as against a cut-throat, with swords and clubs, to take me? I daily sat with you, and taught in the temple, and ye did not apprehend me.
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 And this occurred, that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν.” Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες, ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
57 And they who apprehended Jesus carried him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the Scribes and Elders were assembled.
Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.
58 And Simon Cephas followed after him at a distance, unto the high priest's hall, and entered, and sat with the servants within, that he might see the issue.
Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω, ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος.
59 And the chief priests and the Elders and the whole assembly sought for witnesses against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ Συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν,
60 and found them not. And many false witnesses came; and at last, two came forward,
καὶ οὐχ εὗρον, πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο
61 and said: This man said, I can destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it.
εἶπον, “Οὗτος ἔφη, ‘Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν αὑτόν οἰκοδομῆσαι.’”
62 And the high priest rose up and said to him: Respondest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ, τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;”
63 And Jesus was silent. And the high priest answered, and said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art 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 Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said. And I say to you, That hereafter ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, 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 rent his clothes, and said: Behold, he hath blasphemed! Why therefore should we seek for witnesses? Behold, ye have now heard his blasphemy.
Τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; Ἴδε, νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν.
66 What is your pleasure? They answered and said: He is liable to death.
Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ;” Οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον, “Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν.”
67 Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him,
Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν
68 and said to him: Prophesy to us, thou Messiah, who is it smote thee?
λέγοντες, “Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, ˚Χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;”
69 And Cephas was sitting without in the hall, and a certain maid approached him, and said to him: Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarean.
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 before them all, and said: I know not what thou sayest.
Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν πάντων λέγων, “Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.”
71 And as he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them: This man was also there with Jesus the Nazarean.
Ἐξελθόντα δὲ εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἐκεῖ, “Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου.”
72 And again he denied, with oaths: I know not that man.
Καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μετὰ ὅρκου, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
73 And a little after, those standing there came up and said to Cephas: Certainly, thou too art one of them; and thy speech maketh thee manifest.
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 began to imprecate and to swear, I know not that man. And in that hour the cock crew.
Τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον!” Καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
75 And Cephas remembered the declaration of Jesus, who said to him: Before the cock croweth, thou wilt three times deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος ˚Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος, ὅτι “Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με”. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω, ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
