Κατα Ματθαιον 26
1 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησους παντας τους λογους τουτους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
2 οιδατε οτι μετα δυο ημερας το πασχα γινεται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις το σταυρωθηναι
“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 τοτε συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου εις την αυλην του αρχιερεως του λεγομενου καιαφα
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 και συνεβουλευσαντο ινα τον ιησουν δολω κρατησωσιν και αποκτεινωσιν
and they plotted together to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.
5 ελεγον δε μη εν τη εορτη ινα μη θορυβος γενηται εν τω λαω
But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.”
6 του δε ιησου γενομενου εν βηθανια εν οικια σιμωνος του λεπρου
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 προσηλθεν αυτω γυνη εχουσα αλαβαστρον μυρου βαρυτιμου και κατεχεεν επι της κεφαλης αυτου ανακειμενου
a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at the table.
8 ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται ηγανακτησαν λεγοντες εις τι η απωλεια αυτη
When his disciples saw it, they were indignant and said, “Why this waste?
9 εδυνατο γαρ τουτο πραθηναι πολλου και δοθηναι πτωχοις
This ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money could have been given to the poor.”
10 γνους δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις τι κοπους παρεχετε τη γυναικι εργον γαρ καλον ηργασατο εις εμε
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you causing trouble for this woman? She has done a good deed to me.
11 παντοτε γαρ τους πτωχους εχετε μεθ εαυτων εμε δε ου παντοτε εχετε
You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 βαλουσα γαρ αυτη το μυρον τουτο επι του σωματος μου προς το ενταφιασαι με εποιησεν
She has put this ointment on my body to prepare me for burial.
13 αμην λεγω υμιν οπου εαν κηρυχθη το ευαγγελιον τουτο εν ολω τω κοσμω λαληθησεται και ο εποιησεν αυτη εις μνημοσυνον αυτης
Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.”
14 τοτε πορευθεις εις των δωδεκα ο λεγομενος ιουδας ισκαριωτης προς τους αρχιερεις
Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 ειπεν τι θελετε μοι δουναι καγω υμιν παραδωσω αυτον οι δε εστησαν αυτω τριακοντα αργυρια
and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him up to you?” So they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 και απο τοτε εζητει ευκαιριαν ινα αυτον παραδω
And from then on he was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 τη δε πρωτη των αζυμων προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντες που θελεις ετοιμασωμεν σοι φαγειν το πασχα
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said to him, “Where do yoʋ want us to make preparations for yoʋ to eat the Passover?”
18 ο δε ειπεν υπαγετε εις την πολιν προς τον δεινα και ειπατε αυτω ο διδασκαλος λεγει ο καιρος μου εγγυς εστιν προς σε ποιω το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου
He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover with yoʋ, along with my disciples.”’”
19 και εποιησαν οι μαθηται ως συνεταξεν αυτοις ο ιησους και ητοιμασαν το πασχα
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 οψιας δε γενομενης ανεκειτο μετα των δωδεκα {VAR1: [μαθητων] }
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 και εσθιοντων αυτων ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εις εξ υμων παραδωσει με
As they were eating, he said, “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
22 και λυπουμενοι σφοδρα ηρξαντο λεγειν αυτω εις εκαστος μητι εγω ειμι κυριε
Greatly distressed, they began to say to him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ο εμβαψας μετ εμου την χειρα εν τω τρυβλιω ουτος με παραδωσει
Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand with me into the dish will betray me.
24 ο μεν υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει καθως γεγραπται περι αυτου ουαι δε τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται καλον ην αυτω ει ουκ εγεννηθη ο ανθρωπος εκεινος
The Son of Man indeed goes just 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.”
25 αποκριθεις δε ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον ειπεν μητι εγω ειμι ραββι λεγει αυτω συ ειπας
Then Judas, who betrayed him, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
26 εσθιοντων δε αυτων λαβων ο ιησους αρτον και ευλογησας εκλασεν και δους τοις μαθηταις ειπεν λαβετε φαγετε τουτο εστιν το σωμα μου
As they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat this bread; this is my body.”
27 και λαβων ποτηριον {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } ευχαριστησας εδωκεν αυτοις λεγων πιετε εξ αυτου παντες
Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,
28 τουτο γαρ εστιν το αιμα μου της διαθηκης το περι πολλων εκχυννομενον εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29 λεγω δε υμιν ου μη πιω απ αρτι εκ τουτου του γενηματος της αμπελου εως της ημερας εκεινης οταν αυτο πινω μεθ υμων καινον εν τη βασιλεια του πατρος μου
But I tell you, from this point forward I will certainly not drink again from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you anew in the kingdom of my Father.”
30 και υμνησαντες εξηλθον εις το ορος των ελαιων
And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 τοτε λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους παντες υμεις σκανδαλισθησεσθε εν εμοι εν τη νυκτι ταυτη γεγραπται γαρ παταξω τον ποιμενα και διασκορπισθησονται τα προβατα της ποιμνης
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 μετα δε το εγερθηναι με προαξω υμας εις την γαλιλαιαν
But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
33 αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω ει παντες σκανδαλισθησονται εν σοι εγω ουδεποτε σκανδαλισθησομαι
Peter answered him, “Even if everyone else falls away because of yoʋ, I will never fall away.”
34 εφη αυτω ο ιησους αμην λεγω σοι οτι εν ταυτη τη νυκτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρις απαρνηση με
Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to yoʋ that on this night, before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.”
35 λεγει αυτω ο πετρος καν δεη με συν σοι αποθανειν ου μη σε απαρνησομαι ομοιως και παντες οι μαθηται ειπαν
But Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with yoʋ, I will certainly not deny yoʋ.” And all the disciples said the same thing.
36 τοτε ερχεται μετ αυτων ο ιησους εις χωριον λεγομενον γεθσημανι και λεγει τοις μαθηταις καθισατε αυτου εως [ου] απελθων εκει προσευξωμαι
Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 και παραλαβων τον πετρον και τους δυο υιους ζεβεδαιου ηρξατο λυπεισθαι και αδημονειν
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and distressed.
38 τοτε λεγει αυτοις περιλυπος εστιν η ψυχη μου εως θανατου μεινατε ωδε και γρηγορειτε μετ εμου
Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to the point of death; stay here and keep watch with me.”
39 και προελθων μικρον επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου προσευχομενος και λεγων πατερ μου ει δυνατον εστιν παρελθατω απ εμου το ποτηριον τουτο πλην ουχ ως εγω θελω αλλ ως συ
And going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as yoʋ will.”
40 και ερχεται προς τους μαθητας και ευρισκει αυτους καθευδοντας και λεγει τω πετρω ουτως ουκ ισχυσατε μιαν ωραν γρηγορησαι μετ εμου
Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?
41 γρηγορειτε και προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον το μεν πνευμα προθυμον η δε σαρξ ασθενης
Keep watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 παλιν εκ δευτερου απελθων προσηυξατο {VAR1: [λεγων] } {VAR2: λεγων } πατερ μου ει ου δυναται τουτο παρελθειν εαν μη αυτο πιω γενηθητω το θελημα σου
Again, he went away for a second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, may yoʋr will be done.”
43 και ελθων παλιν ευρεν αυτους καθευδοντας ησαν γαρ αυτων οι οφθαλμοι βεβαρημενοι
Then he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 και αφεις αυτους παλιν απελθων προσηυξατο εκ τριτου τον αυτον λογον ειπων παλιν
So he left them and went away again and prayed for a third time, saying the same thing.
45 τοτε ερχεται προς τους μαθητας και λεγει αυτοις καθευδετε {VAR2: [το] } λοιπον και αναπαυεσθε ιδου ηγγικεν η ωρα και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις χειρας αμαρτωλων
Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Sleep on now and take your rest! Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46 εγειρεσθε αγωμεν ιδου ηγγικεν ο παραδιδους με
Rise, let us go. Behold, my betrayer has drawn near.”
47 και ετι αυτου λαλουντος ιδου ιουδας εις των δωδεκα ηλθεν και μετ αυτου οχλος πολυς μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων απο των αρχιερεων και πρεσβυτερων του λαου
While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came. With him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 ο δε παραδιδους αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις σημειον λεγων ον αν φιλησω αυτος εστιν κρατησατε αυτον
Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, he is the one; arrest him.”
49 και ευθεως προσελθων τω ιησου ειπεν χαιρε ραββι και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him.
50 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτω εταιρε εφ ο παρει τοτε προσελθοντες επεβαλον τας χειρας επι τον ιησουν και εκρατησαν αυτον
Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have yoʋ come?” Then they came forward, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
51 και ιδου εις των μετα ιησου εκτεινας την χειρα απεσπασεν την μαχαιραν αυτου και παταξας τον δουλον του αρχιερεως αφειλεν αυτου το ωτιον
And behold, one of the men with Jesus stretched out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 τοτε λεγει αυτω ο ιησους αποστρεψον την μαχαιραν σου εις τον τοπον αυτης παντες γαρ οι λαβοντες μαχαιραν εν μαχαιρη απολουνται
Then Jesus said to him, “Put yoʋr sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 η δοκεις οτι ου δυναμαι παρακαλεσαι τον πατερα μου και παραστησει μοι αρτι πλειω δωδεκα λεγιωνας αγγελων
Or do yoʋ think that I cannot call on my Father right now, and he will provide me with more than twelve legions of angels?
54 πως ουν πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι οτι ουτως δει γενεσθαι
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 εν εκεινη τη ωρα ειπεν ο ιησους τοις οχλοις ως επι ληστην εξηλθατε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων συλλαβειν με καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω εκαθεζομην διδασκων και ουκ εκρατησατε με
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me.
56 τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων τοτε οι μαθηται παντες αφεντες αυτον εφυγον
But all this has taken place so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 οι δε κρατησαντες τον ιησουν απηγαγον προς καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα οπου οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι συνηχθησαν
Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 ο δε πετρος ηκολουθει αυτω {VAR1: [απο] } {VAR2: απο } μακροθεν εως της αυλης του αρχιερεως και εισελθων εσω εκαθητο μετα των υπηρετων ιδειν το τελος
But Peter was following him at a distance, coming as far as the courtyard of the high priest. After going inside, he sat with the officers to see the outcome.
59 οι δε αρχιερεις και το συνεδριον ολον εζητουν ψευδομαρτυριαν κατα του ιησου οπως αυτον θανατωσωσιν
Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus, so that they could put him to death,
60 και ουχ ευρον πολλων προσελθοντων ψευδομαρτυρων υστερον δε προσελθοντες δυο
but they did not find any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any.
61 ειπαν ουτος εφη δυναμαι καταλυσαι τον ναον του θεου και δια τριων ημερων οικοδομησαι
But at last two false witnesses came forward and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 και αναστας ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω ουδεν αποκρινη τι ουτοι σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
So the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do yoʋ make no answer? What are these men testifying against yoʋ?”
63 ο δε ιησους εσιωπα και ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω εξορκιζω σε κατα του θεου του ζωντος ινα ημιν ειπης ει συ ει ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου
But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I adjure yoʋ by the living God to tell us if yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 λεγει αυτω ο ιησους συ ειπας πλην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον υιον του ανθρωπου καθημενον εκ δεξιων της δυναμεως και ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself. Nevertheless I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 τοτε ο αρχιερευς διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου λεγων εβλασφημησεν τι ετι χρειαν εχομεν μαρτυρων ιδε νυν ηκουσατε την βλασφημιαν
Then the high priest tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard his blasphemy.
66 τι υμιν δοκει οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπαν ενοχος θανατου εστιν
What do you think?” They answered, “He deserves death.”
67 τοτε ενεπτυσαν εις το προσωπον αυτου και εκολαφισαν αυτον οι δε εραπισαν
Then they spit in his face and struck him. Others slapped him,
68 λεγοντες προφητευσον ημιν χριστε τις εστιν ο παισας σε
saying, “Prophesy to us, yoʋ Christ! Who is it that struck yoʋ?”
69 ο δε πετρος εκαθητο εξω εν τη αυλη και προσηλθεν αυτω μια παιδισκη λεγουσα και συ ησθα μετα ιησου του γαλιλαιου
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, “Yoʋ also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70 ο δε ηρνησατο εμπροσθεν παντων λεγων ουκ οιδα τι λεγεις
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what yoʋ are talking about!”
71 εξελθοντα δε εις τον πυλωνα ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει τοις εκει ουτος ην μετα ιησου του ναζωραιου
Then he went out to the gateway, and another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 και παλιν ηρνησατο μετα ορκου οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον
But again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
73 μετα μικρον δε προσελθοντες οι εστωτες ειπον τω πετρω αληθως και συ εξ αυτων ει και γαρ η λαλια σου δηλον σε ποιει
After a little while, the people standing there came up and said to Peter, “Truly yoʋ also are one of them, for even yoʋr accent gives yoʋ away.”
74 τοτε ηρξατο καταθεματιζειν και ομνυειν οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον και ευθεως αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν
Then he began to invoke curses and to swear, saying, “I do not know the man.” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 και εμνησθη ο πετρος του ρηματος ιησου ειρηκοτος οτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρις απαρνηση με και εξελθων εξω εκλαυσεν πικρως
Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
