< Κατα Ματθαιον 26 >

1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,
And it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,
2 “Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ Πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.”
"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα,
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 καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν.
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.
5 Ἔλεγον δέ, “Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ.”
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."
6 Τοῦ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ Σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου βαρυτίμου, καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.
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 Ἰδόντες δὲ, οἱ μαθηταὶ ἠγανάκτησαν λέγοντες, “Εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη;
But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
9 Ἐδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
10 Γνοὺς δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; Ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ.
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
11 Πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me.
12 Βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου, πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν.
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς.”
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 Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
15 εἶπεν, “Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι, κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν;” Οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
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 Καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν, ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν Ἀζύμων, προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, “Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ Πάσχα;”
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 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.”’”
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 Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ Πάσχα.
The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα,
Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.”
As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα, ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς ἕκαστος, αὐτῶν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ˚Κύριε;”
And they were greatly distressed, and each one began to ask him, "It is not me, is it, Lord?"
23 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ, οὗτός με παραδώσει.
He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
24 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.”
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 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας, ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, “Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, Ῥαββί;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Σὺ εἶπας.”
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It is not me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
26 Ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν, λαβὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἄρτον, καὶ εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἶπεν, “Λάβετε, φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.”
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 Καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες,
He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
28 τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης, τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 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.”
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 Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες, ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 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.’
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 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με, προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.”
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
33 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Εἰ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν σοί, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι.”
But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
34 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι ὅτι ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με.”
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
35 Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος, “Κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι.” Ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπον.
Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Τότε ἔρχεται μετʼ αὐτῶν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς χωρίον λεγόμενον Γεθσημανὶ, καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, “Καθίσατε αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀπελθὼν ἐκεῖ προσεύξωμαι.”
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
37 Καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ζεβεδαίου, ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν.
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38 Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε μετʼ ἐμοῦ.”
Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
39 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.”
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 Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετʼ ἐμοῦ;
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
41 Γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν. Τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής.”
Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων, “Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου.”
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 Καὶ ἐλθὼν πάλιν, εὗρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι.
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἀπελθὼν, προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν πάλιν.
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 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.
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 Ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν! Ἰδοὺ, ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με!”
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
47 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.
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 Ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, “Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω, αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν.”
Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."
49 Καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, “Χαῖρε, Ῥαββί, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.”
Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Greetings, Rabbi." and kissed him.
50 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἑταῖρε, Ἐφʼ ὃ πάρει;” Τότε προσελθόντες, ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, εἷς τῶν μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον.
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 Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν, ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται.
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 Ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι ἄρτι παρακαλέσαι τὸν Πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι πλείω δώδεκα λεγεῶνων ἀγγέλων;
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 Πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;”
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
55 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.
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 Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν.” Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες, ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
57 Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.
Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58 Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω, ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος.
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 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ Συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν,
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus so they could put him to death;
60 καὶ οὐχ εὗρον, πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο
and they found none, even though many false witnesses came forward. But afterward two came forward,
61 εἶπον, “Οὗτος ἔφη, ‘Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν αὑτόν οἰκοδομῆσαι.’”
and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
62 Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ, τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;”
The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"
63 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.”
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 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’.”
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 Τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; Ἴδε, νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν.
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 Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ;” Οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον, “Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν.”
What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."
67 Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν
Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 λέγοντες, “Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, ˚Χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;”
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ. Who hit you?"
69 Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἐκάθητο ἔξω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ μία παιδίσκη λέγουσα, “Καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Γαλιλαίου.”
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean."
70 Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν πάντων λέγων, “Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.”
But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
71 Ἐξελθόντα δὲ εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἐκεῖ, “Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου.”
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 Καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μετὰ ὅρκου, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
73 Μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ, καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλόν σε ποιεῖ.”
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 Τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν, ὅτι “Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον!” Καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος ˚Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος, ὅτι “Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με”. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω, ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
