Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

Завера против Исуса

(Мк 14,1-2; Лк 22,1-2; Јн 11,45-53)

26 Када је Исус све ово изговорио, рече својим ученицима: 2 »Ви знате да је за два дана Пасха, и Сина човечијега ће предати да буде распет.«

3 Тада се првосвештеници и старешине народа окупише у двору првосвештеника који се звао Кајафа 4 и договорише се да Исуса на превару ухвате и убију.

5 »Али не за време празника«, рекоше, »да се народ не побуни.«

Помазање у Витанији

(Мк 14,3-9; Јн 12,1-8)

6 А Исус је био у Витанији, у кући Симона Губавца. 7 Док је лежао за трпезом, приђе му једна жена са посудом од алабастера пуном скупоцене мирисне помасти и изли је на његову главу.

8 Када су то ученици видели, почеше да негодују.

»Чему то расипништво?« рекоше. 9 »То је могло скупо да се прода и да се раздели сиромасима.«

10 А Исус је знао о чему говоре, па их упита: »Зашто гњавите ову жену? Учинила ми је добро дело. 11 Јер, сиромахе ћете увек имати са собом, али мене нећете увек имати. 12 Када је излила ову мирисну помаст на моје тело, учинила је то за моју сахрану. 13 Истину вам кажем: где год се, у целом свету, буде проповедало ово еванђеље, говориће се и о овоме што је она учинила, у спомен на њу.«

Јуда се договара да изда Исуса

(Мк 14,10-11; Лк 22,3-6)

14 Тада један од Дванаесторице – онај који се звао Јуда Искариотски – оде првосвештеницима 15 и упита их: »Колико сте вољни да ми дате ако вам га издам?«

Они му понудише тридесет сребрњака 16 и он отада поче да тражи повољну прилику да им га изда.

Исус једе пасхалну вечеру с ученицима

(Мк 14,12-21; Лк 22,7-14, 21-23; Јн 13,21-30)

17 Првога дана Празника бесквасног хлеба ученици приђоше Исусу и упиташе га: »Где хоћеш да ти спремимо да једеш пасхалну вечеру?«

18 »Идите у град к томе и томе«, рече им он, »и реците му: ‚Учитељ каже: »Мој час је близу. Код тебе ћу славити Пасху са својим ученицима.«‘«

19 И ученици учинише како им је Исус наредио и спремише пасхалну вечеру.

20 Када је пало вече, Исус са Дванаесторицом леже за трпезу.

21 »Истину вам кажем«, рече он док су јели, »један од вас ће ме издати.«

22 Они се веома ражалостише, па га један за другим упиташе: »Да нећу ја, Господе?«

23 »Онај који је са мном умочио руку у зделу«, одговори Исус, »тај ће ме издати. 24 Син човечији ће отићи као што је за њега написано, али тешко оном човеку који изда Сина човечијега: боље би му било да се није ни родио.«

25 А његов издајник Јуда упита: »Да нисам ја, Раби?«

Исус му одговори: »Тако је као што кажеш.«

Господња вечера

(Мк 14,22-26; Лк 22,15-20; 1. Кор 11,23-25)

26 Док су јели, Исус узе хлеб, благослови га и изломи, па даде ученицима, говорећи: »Узмите и једите – ово је моје тело.«

27 Онда узе чашу, захвали Богу и даде им је, говорећи: »Пијте из ње сви, 28 јер ово је моја крв, крв савеза[a], која се пролива за многе, за опроштење греха. 29 Кажем вам: више нећу пити од овог лозиног рода до онога дана када ћу га, новог, с вама пити у Царству мога Оца.«

30 Затим отпеваше хвалоспев, па одоше на Маслинску гору.

Исус предсказује да ће га се Петар одрећи

(Мк 14,27-31; Лк 22,31-34; Јн 13,36-38)

31 Тада им Исус рече: »Сви ћете се ноћас о мене саблазнити. Јер, записано је:

‚Ударићу пастира,
и овце из стада ће се раштркати.‘(A)

32 Али, после свог васкрсења, отићи ћу пред вама у Галилеју.«

33 А Петар му рече: »Ако се сви и саблазне о тебе, ја се никад нећу саблазнити!«

34 »Истину ти кажем«, рече му Исус, »још ноћас, пре него што се петао огласи, ти ћеш ме се три пута одрећи.«

35 Петар му рече: »Ако треба и да умрем с тобом, нећу те се одрећи.«

А тако рекоше сви ученици.

Исус се моли у Гетсиманији

(Мк 14,32-42; Лк 22,39-46)

36 Тада Исус оде са својим ученицима на место које се зове Гетсиманија, па им рече: »Седите овде док ја одем онамо и помолим се.«

37 Онда са собом поведе Петра и оба Зеведејева сина. Обузеше га жалост и тескоба, 38 па им рече: »Душа ми је насмрт жалосна. Останите овде и бдите са мном.«

39 Потом оде мало даље, паде ничице, па поче да се моли говорећи: »Оче мој, ако је могуће, нека ме мимоиђе ова чаша. Али, нека не буде моја воља, него твоја.«

40 Тада се врати ученицима и нађе их како спавају.

»Тако, дакле«, рече Петру, »ни један сат нисте били у стању да пробдите са мном. 41 Бдите и молите се, да не паднете у искушење. Дух је, додуше, вољан, али је тело слабо.«

42 Онда други пут оде и помоли се говорећи: »Оче мој, ако није могуће да ме мимоиђе ова чаша, да је не испијем, нека буде твоја воља.«

43 Затим се врати и опет их нађе како спавају – очи су им се склапале. 44 Он опет оде од њих и удаљи се, па се трећи пут помоли, изговоривши исте речи.

45 Онда оде к ученицима и упита их: »Зар још спавате и одмарате се? Ево, примакао се час када ће Син човечији бити предат у руке грешникâ. 46 Устајте! Хајдемо! Ево мој издајник долази.«

Исус издан и ухваћен

(Мк 14,43-50; Лк 22,47-53; Јн 18,3-12)

47 И док је он још говорио, стиже Јуда, један од Дванаесторице, и с њим, с мачевима и тољагама, силна светина коју су послали првосвештеници и старешине народа.

48 А његов издајник је с њима договорио знак. »Кога пољубим – тај је«, рекао је. »Њега ухватите.«

49 И одмах приђе Исусу и рече: »Здраво, Раби«, и пољуби га.

50 »Пријатељу«, рече му Исус, »зашто си дошао?«

Тада људи приђоше, пограбише Исуса и ухватише га. 51 А један од оних који су били са Исусом посегну за својим мачем и исука га, па удари првосвештениковог слугу и одсече му ухо.

52 Тада му Исус рече: »Врати свој мач на његово место, јер сви који се мача маше, од мача ће и погинути. 53 Зар мислиш да не бих могао да замолим Оца да ми сада пошаље више од дванаест легија анђела? 54 Али, како би се онда испунила Писма која кажу да мора да буде овако?«

55 Онда рече светини: »Изашли сте као неког разбојника да ме ухватите, с мачевима и тољагама. Сваког дана сам седео у Храму и учио народ, и нисте ме ухватили. 56 Али, све се ово догодило да се испуни оно што су написали пророци.«

Тада га сви ученици оставише и побегоше.

Исус пред Синедрионом

(Мк 14,53-65; Лк 22,54-55, 63-71; Јн 18,13-14, 19-24)

57 Они који су ухватили Исуса, одведоше га првосвештенику Кајафи, код кога су се окупили учитељи закона и старешине. 58 А Петар је на одстојању ишао за Исусом све до првосвештениковог дворишта, па уђе унутра и седе са слугама да види шта ће се догодити.

59 Првосвештеници и цео Синедрион почеше да траже неки лажан доказ против Исуса, да би могли да га погубе, 60 али га не нађоше, иако је дошло много лажних сведока.

На крају дођоше двојица 61 и рекоше: »Овај је рекао: ‚Могу да порушим Божији Храм и да га поново саградим за три дана.‘«

62 Онда устаде првосвештеник и упита Исуса: »Зар нећеш ништа да одговориш? Шта то ови сведоче против тебе?«

63 Али Исус је ћутао.

Првосвештеник му рече: »Заклињем те Богом живим, реци нам да ли си ти Христос, Син Божији?«

64 »Тако је како кажеш«, рече Исус. »И кажем свима вама: од сада ћете видети Сина човечијега како седи Силноме здесна и долази на небеским облацима.«

65 Тада првосвештеник раздера своју одећу и рече: »Похулио је! Шта нам још требају сведоци! Ето, сад сте чули хулу! 66 Шта мислите?«

А они одговорише: »Заслужио је смрт!«

67 Онда су га пљували у лице и ударали песницама, а други су га шамарали, 68 говорећи: »Пророкуј нам, Христе! Ко те ударио?«

Петар се одриче Исуса

(Мк 14,66-72; Лк 22,56-62; Јн 18,15-18, 25-27)

69 А Петар је седео напољу, у дворишту.

Приђе му једна слушкиња и рече: »И ти си био са Исусом Галилејцем!«

70 Али он то пред свима порече рекавши: »Не знам о чему говориш.«

71 Када је изашао у предње двориште, угледа га једна друга, па рече онима који су тамо стајали: »Овај је био са Исусом Назарећанином!«

72 Петар то опет порече, заклевши се: »Не познајем тог човека.«

73 Мало касније, они који су тамо стајали приђоше Петру и рекоше: »Ти си заиста један од њих! Одаје те говор!«

74 А он поче на себе да призива проклетства и да се заклиње: »Не познајем тог човека!«

Истог часа огласи се петао 75 и Петар се сети речи које је Исус изрекао: »Пре него што се петао огласи, ти ћеш ме се три пута одрећи«, па изађе напоље и горко заплака.

New King James Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)

26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 (B)“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

3 (C)Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and (D)plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the (E)people.”

The Anointing at Bethany(F)

6 And when Jesus was in (G)Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 (H)But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 (I)For you have the poor with you always, but (J)Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My (K)burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(L)

14 (M)Then one of the twelve, called (N)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, (O)“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples(P)

17 (Q)Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, (R)“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

20 (S)When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will (T)betray Me.”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, (U)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (V)as it is written of Him, but (W)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (X)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”

He said to him, “You have said it.”

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(Y)

26 (Z)And as they were eating, (AA)Jesus took bread, [c]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; (AB)this is My body.”

27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, (AC)“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For (AD)this is My blood (AE)of the [d]new covenant, which is shed (AF)for many for the [e]remission of sins. 29 But (AG)I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on (AH)until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 (AI)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AJ)

31 Then Jesus said to them, (AK)“All of you will (AL)be [f]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:

(AM)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32 But after I have been raised, (AN)I will go before you to Galilee.”

33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [g]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”

34 Jesus said to him, (AO)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And so said all the disciples.

The Prayer in the Garden(AP)

36 (AQ)Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and (AR)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, (AS)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and (AT)prayed, saying, (AU)“O My Father, if it is possible, (AV)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (AW)not as I will, but as You will.”

40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 (AX)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AY)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [h]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour [i]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being (AZ)betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(BA)

47 And (BB)while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” (BC)and kissed Him.

50 But Jesus said to him, (BD)“Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, (BE)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, (BF)for all who take the sword will [j]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with (BG)more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, (BH)that it must happen thus?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the (BI)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

Then (BJ)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BK)

57 (BL)And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58 But (BM)Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, [k]the elders, and all the council sought (BN)false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 [l]but found none. Even though (BO)many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last (BP)two [m]false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This fellow said, (BQ)‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”

62 (BR)And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But (BS)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, (BT)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, (BU)hereafter you will see the Son of Man (BV)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 (BW)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His (BX)blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”

They answered and said, (BY)“He is deserving of death.”

67 (BZ)Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and (CA)others struck Him with [n]the palms of their hands, 68 saying, (CB)“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(CC)

69 (CD)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”

70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”

71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”

73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (CE)speech betrays you.”

74 Then (CF)he began to [o]curse and [p]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (CG)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.

The Plot Against Jesus(A)

26 When Jesus had finished saying all these things,(B) he said to his disciples, 2 “As you know, the Passover(C) is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled(D) in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,(E) 4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.(F) 5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot(G) among the people.”

Jesus Anointed at Bethany(H)(I)

6 While Jesus was in Bethany(J) in the home of Simon the Leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 The poor you will always have with you,[a](K) but you will not always have me. 12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.(L) 13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(M)

14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot(N)—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.(O) 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Last Supper(P)(Q)(R)

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(S) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(T)

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(U) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(V)

22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(W) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(X) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(Y) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(Z)

Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(AA) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27 Then he took a cup,(AB) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant,(AC) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(AD) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(AE) in my Father’s kingdom.”

30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(AF)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AG)

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(AH) for it is written:

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[c](AI)

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(AJ)

33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(AK)

35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(AL) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Gethsemane(AM)

36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(AN) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(AO) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(AP)

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(AQ) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(AR)

40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(AS) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AT) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(AU)

43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour(AV) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Jesus Arrested(AW)

47 While he was still speaking, Judas,(AX) one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”(AY) and kissed him.

50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d](AZ)

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(BA) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(BB)

52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(BC) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(BD) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(BE) that say it must happen in this way?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(BF) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(BG) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(BH)

57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas(BI) the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58 But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.(BJ) He entered and sat down with the guards(BK) to see the outcome.

59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(BL) were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses(BM) came forward.

Finally two(BN) came forward 61 and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”(BO)

62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent.(BP)

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath(BQ) by the living God:(BR) Tell us if you are the Messiah,(BS) the Son of God.”(BT)

64 “You have said so,”(BU) Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One(BV) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[e](BW)

65 Then the high priest tore his clothes(BX) and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”

“He is worthy of death,”(BY) they answered.

67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.(BZ) Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”(CA)

Peter Disowns Jesus(CB)

69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”

73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(CC) And he went outside and wept bitterly.
