ユダの裏切り
26 イエスはこれらのことを話し終えると、弟子たちに言われました。
2 「あなたがたも知っているように、あと二日で過越の祭りが始まります。いよいよ、わたしが裏切られ、十字架につけられる時が近づいたのです。」
3 ちょうどそのころ、大祭司カヤパの家では、祭司長やユダヤ人の指導者たちが集まり、 4 イエスをひそかに捕らえて殺そうという相談のまっ最中でした。 5 しかし、「祭りの間は見合わせたほうがよいだろう。群衆の暴動でも起こると大変だから」というのが、彼らの一致した意見でした。
6 さて、イエスはベタニヤへ行き、ツァラアトの人シモンの家にお入りになりました。 7 そこで食事をしておられると、非常に高価な香油のつぼを持った女が入って来て、その香油をイエスの頭に注ぎかけました。
8 それを見た弟子たちは、腹を立てました。「なんてもったいないことを！ 9 売ればひと財産にもなって、貧しい人たちに恵むこともできたのに。」
10 イエスはこれを聞いて言われました。「なぜ、そうとやかく言うのですか。この女はわたしのために、とてもよいことをしてくれたのです。 11 いいですか。貧しい人たちならいつも回りにいますが、わたしはそうではありません。 12 今、この女が香油を注いでくれたのは、わたしの葬りの準備なのです。 13 ですから、この女のことは、いつまでも忘れられないでしょう。そして御国のすばらしい知らせが伝えられる所ならどこででも、この女のしたことも語り継がれるでしょう。」
14-15 このことがあってから、十二弟子の一人、イスカリオテのユダが祭司長たちのところへ来て、「あのイエスをあなたがたに売り渡したら、いったい、いくらいただけますか」と聞きました。こうして、とうとう彼らから銀貨三十枚を受け取ったのです。 16 この時から、ユダはイエスを売り渡そうと機会をねらい始めました。
17 過越の祭りの日、すなわち種なしパン（イースト菌を入れないで焼くパン）の祭りの最初の日に、弟子たちが来て、イエスに尋ねました。「先生。過越の食事は、どこですればよろしいでしょうか。」
18 「町に入って行くと、これこれの人に会います。その人に言いなさい。『私どもの先生が、「わたしの時が近づいた。お宅で弟子たちといっしょに過越の食事をしたい」と言っております。』」 19 弟子たちはイエスの言われたとおりにして、夕食の用意をしました。
20 その夕方、十二弟子といっしょに食事をしている時、 21 イエスは、「あなたがたのうちの一人が、わたしを裏切ろうとしています」と言われました。
22 これを聞いた弟子たちはひどく悲しみ、口々に、「まさか私のことではないでしょうね」と尋ねました。
23 「わたしといっしょに鉢に手を浸している者が裏切るのです。 24 わたしは預言のとおりに死ななければなりません。だが、わたしを裏切るような者はのろわれます。その人は、むしろ生まれなかったほうがよかったのです。」 25 ユダも、何げないふりをして尋ねました。「先生。まさか私ではないでしょう。」「いや、あなたです。」イエスはお答えになりました。
26 食事の最中に、イエスは一かたまりのパンを取り、祝福してから、それをちぎって弟子たちに分け与えました。「これを取って食べなさい。わたしの体です。」
27 またぶどう酒の杯を取り、感謝の祈りをささげてから、弟子たちに与えて言われました。「みな、この杯から飲みなさい。 28 これは新しい契約を保証するわたしの血、多くの人の罪を赦すために流される血です。 29 よく言っておきますが、やがて父の御国で、あなたがたといっしょに新しく飲む日まで、わたしは二度とぶどう酒を飲みません。」
30 このあと、一同は賛美歌を歌うと、そこを出て、オリーブ山に向かいました。
31 その時、イエスは弟子たちに言われました。「今夜あなたがたはみな、わたしを見捨てて逃げるでしょう。聖書に、『わたしが羊飼いを打つ。すると羊の群れは散り散りになる』（ゼカリヤ13・7）と書いてあるからです。 32 しかし、わたしは復活して、もう一度ガリラヤに行きます。そこであなたがたに会います。」
33 「たとえ、みんながあなたを見捨てようと、この私だけは絶対に見捨てたりしません」と訴えるペテロに、 34 イエスは言われました。「はっきり言いましょう。あなたは今夜鶏が鳴く前に、三度、わたしを知らないと言います。」
35 しかしペテロは、「死んでも、あなたを知らないなどとは申しません」と言い、ほかの弟子たちも、口々に同じことを言いました。
苦しみ祈るイエス
36 それからイエスは、弟子たちを連れて、木の茂ったゲツセマネの園に行かれました。そして弟子たちに、「わたしが向こうで祈っている間、ここに座って待っていなさい」と言い残し、 37 ペテロと、ゼベダイの子ヤコブとヨハネだけを連れて、さらに奥のほうへ行かれました。その時です。激しい苦悩と絶望がイエスを襲い、苦しみもだえ始められました。
38 「ああ、恐れと悲しみのあまり、今にも死にそうです。ここを離れずに、わたしといっしょに目を覚ましていなさい。」
39 三人にこう頼むと、イエスは少し離れた所に行き、地面にひれ伏して必死に祈られました。「父よ。もしできることなら、この杯を取り除いてください。しかし、わたしの思いどおりにではなく、あなたのお心のままになさってください！」
40 それから、弟子たちのところへ戻って来られると、なんと、三人ともぐっすり眠り込んでいるではありませんか。そこで、ペテロを呼び起こされました。「起きなさい、ペテロ。たったの一時間も、わたしといっしょに目を覚ましていられなかったのですか。 41 油断しないで、いつも祈っていなさい。さもないと誘惑に負けてしまいます。あなたがたの心は燃えていても、肉体はとても弱いのですから。」
42 こうしてまたイエスは、彼らから離れて、祈られました。「父よ。もし、この杯を飲みほさなければならないのでしたら、どうぞ、あなたのお心のままになさってください。」
43 イエスがもう一度戻って来られると、三人はまたもや眠り込んでいました。まぶたが重くなって、どうしても起きていられなかったのです。 44 イエスは、三度目の祈りをするために戻り、前と同じ祈りをなさいました。
45 それからまた、弟子たちのところに来て、「まだ眠っているのですか。目を覚ましなさい。時が来ました。いよいよ、わたしは悪い者どもに売り渡されるのです。 46 立ちなさい。さあ、行くのです。ごらんなさい、裏切り者が近づいて来ます」と言われました。
47 イエスがまだ言い終わらないうちに、十二弟子の一人ユダがやって来ました。彼といっしょに、ユダヤ人の指導者たちが差し向けた大ぜいの群衆も、手に手に剣やこん棒を持っていました。 48 彼らの間では、ユダがあいさつする相手こそイエスだから、その人物を捕まえるように、前もって打ち合わせがしてありました。 49 それで、ユダはまっすぐイエスのほうへ歩み寄り、「先生。こんばんは」と声をかけ、さも親しげにイエスを抱きしめました。
50 イエスが、「ユダよ。さあ、おまえのしようとしていることをしなさい」と言われた瞬間、人々は飛びかかり、イエスを捕らえました。
51 その時、イエスといっしょにいた一人が、さっと剣を抜き放つと、大祭司の部下の耳を切り落としました。
52 ところが、イエスは彼を制して言われました。「剣をさやに納めなさい。剣を使う者は、自分もまた剣で殺されるのです。 53 わからないのですか。わたしが願いさえすれば、父が何万という天使を送って、わたしを守ってくださるのです。 54 しかし、もし今そんなことをしたら、こうなると書いてある聖書のことばが実現しないではありませんか。」
55 そして今度は、群衆に向かって言われました。「剣やこん棒で、これほどものものしく武装しなければならないほど、わたしは凶悪犯なのでしょうか。わたしが毎日神殿で教えていた時には、何の手出しもしなかったではありませんか。 56 いいですか、こうなったのはすべて、預言者たちのことばが実現するためです。」
この時、弟子たちはみな、イエスを見捨てて逃げ去りました。
57 暴徒たちは、イエスを大祭司カヤパの家に引っ立てました。ちょうど、ユダヤ人の指導者たちが一堂に集まり、今や遅しと待ちかまえているところでした。 58 一方、ペテロは遠くからあとをつけて行き、大祭司の家の中庭にもぐり込みました。そして兵士たちにまじって、イエスがどんなことになるのか見届けようとしました。
59 そこには、祭司長たちやユダヤの最高議会の全議員が集まり、なんとかイエスを死刑にしようと、偽証する者を捜していました。
60 ところが、偽証する者は多かったのですが、その証言がみな食い違っているのです。そうこうするうちに、ようやく、格好の証人が現れました。二人の男が進み出て、 61 「この男は、『神殿を打ちこわして、三日の間に建て直すことができる』と言っていました」と証言したのです。
62 大祭司はここぞとばかりに立ち上がり、イエスに問いただしました。「さあ、黙っていないで答えたらどうだ。ほんとうにそんなことを言ったのか。それとも言わなかったのか。」 63 それでもなお、イエスは黙っていました。大祭司は続けました。「生ける神の御名によって命じる。あなたは神の子キリストなのかどうか。さあ、はっきり答えてみなさい。」
64 イエスはお答えになりました。「あなたの言ったとおりです。あなたがたは、やがてメシヤ（救い主）のわたしが、神の右の座につき、雲に乗って来るのを見るでしょう。」
65 これを聞いた大祭司は、即座に着物を引き裂き、大声で叫びました。「冒瀆だ！ 神を汚すことばだ！ これだけ聞けば十分だ。さあ、みんなも聞いたとおりだ。 66 この男をどうしよう。」
一同はいっせいに叫びました。「死刑だ、死刑にしろ！」
67 そうして、イエスの顔につばをかけたり、なぐったりしました。またある者は、イエスを平手で打ち、 68 「おい、キリストなんだろ。当ててみろ。今おまえを打ったのはだれだ」とからかいました。
ペテロ、イエスを否認する
69 一方、ペテロは中庭に座っていましたが、一人の女中がやって来て、「あら、あなたイエスといっしょにいた人じゃないの。二人ともガリラヤの人でしょう」と話しかけました。
70 ところがペテロは、「人違いだ。変な言いがかりはよしてくれ」と大声で否定しました。
71 まずいことになったと、ペテロが急いで出口のほうへ行きかけると、また別の女中に見つかりました。女中は回りの人たちに、「この人もナザレから来たイエスという人といっしょだったわ」と言いました。
72 ペテロはあわててそれを打ち消し、その上、「断じて、そんな男は知らない」と誓いました。
73 ところが、しばらくすると、近くにいた人たちが彼のところへ来て、口々に言い始めました。「いや、おまえは確かにあの男の弟子の一人だ。隠してもむだだ。そのガリラヤなまりが何よりの証拠だ。」
74 たじたじとなったペテロは、「そんな男のことなど、絶対に知らない。これがうそなら、どんな罰が下ってもかまわない」と言いだしました。するとすぐに、鶏の鳴く声が聞こえました。 75 その瞬間、ペテロは、はっとわれに返りました。「鶏が鳴く前に、あなたは三度わたしを知らないと言うでしょう」と言われたイエスのことばを思い出したからです。ペテロは外へ駆け出して行くと、胸も張り裂けんばかりに激しく泣きました。

New International Version
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:
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.

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.
