犹大出卖耶稣

22 除酵节,又名逾越节,快到了。 祭司长和律法教师因为害怕百姓,便密谋如何杀害耶稣。 这时,撒旦进入加略人犹大的心,这人原是十二使徒之一。 他去见祭司长和圣殿护卫长,商议如何把耶稣出卖给他们, 他们喜出望外,答应给犹大一笔酬金。 犹大同意了,便伺机找百姓不在的场合将耶稣交给他们。

最后的晚餐

除酵节到了,那天要宰杀逾越羊羔。 耶稣差派彼得和约翰出去,说:“你们为我们准备逾越节吃的晚餐。”

他们问:“你要我们到哪里去预备呢?”

10 耶稣回答说:“你们进城的时候,一个男子会扛着一瓶水迎面走来,你们要跟着他,他进哪所房子,你们也进去, 11 对房子的主人说,‘老师问你客房在哪里,祂要和门徒在里面吃逾越节的晚餐。’ 12 那主人会带你们到楼上一间布置整齐的大房间,你们就在那里预备吧。”

13 他们进了城,所遇见的果然和耶稣所说的一样。他们便在那里预备逾越节的晚餐。

设立圣餐

14 晚餐时,耶稣和使徒们一同坐席。 15 耶稣对他们说:“我一直盼望在受难之前和你们同吃这个逾越节的宴席。 16 我告诉你们,在这宴席成就在上帝的国度之前,我不会再吃这宴席了。”

17 祂接过杯来,祝谢后,说:“你们拿去分着喝吧。 18 我告诉你们,在上帝的国降临之前,我不会再喝这葡萄酒了。”

19 接着,祂拿起饼来,祝谢后,掰开递给他们,说:“这是我为你们牺牲的身体,你们今后也要这样做,以纪念我。”

20 饭后,祂又举起杯来,说:“这杯是用我的血立的新约,这血是为你们流的。

21 “但是看啊,那出卖我之人的手和我的手都在桌子上。 22 按照所定的,人子要死去,但那出卖人子的人有祸了!” 23 他们开始彼此追问谁会出卖耶稣。

谁最伟大

24 门徒又开始争论他们当中谁最伟大。 25 耶稣对他们说:“外族人有君王统治他们,那些统治者被称为恩主, 26 但你们不可这样。相反,你们中间地位最高的,要像最卑微的;做首领的,要像服侍人的。 27 坐着吃饭的和伺候的哪个地位高呢?难道不是坐着的那个吗?然而,我在你们当中是服侍人的。

28 “在我患难之时,你们一直在我身边, 29 所以,我父怎样将国赐给我,我也照样将国赐给你们, 30 使你们在我的国中和我一同坐席,并且坐在宝座上审判以色列的十二个支派。”

预言彼得不认主

31 耶稣说:“西门!西门!撒旦已经要求像筛麦子一样筛你们, 32 但我已经为你祷告了,叫你不至于失去信心。你回头以后,要让你的弟兄刚强。”

33 西门·彼得说:“主啊,我愿意和你一起坐牢,一起受死!”

34 耶稣说:“彼得,我告诉你,明早鸡叫之前,你会三次不认我。”

35 耶稣又问门徒:“我派你们出去的时候,无钱袋、背包和鞋子,你们有任何缺乏吗?”

他们答道:“没有。”

36 耶稣说:“但现在如果有钱袋或背包,都要带着;如果没有刀剑,要卖掉衣服买刀剑。 37 我告诉你们,‘祂要被列在罪犯中’这句经文必在我身上应验,因为圣经上有关我的事情快要实现了。”

38 他们说:“主啊,请看,这里有两把刀。”耶稣说:“够了。”

橄榄山上的祷告

39 耶稣离开,像往常一样前往橄榄山,门徒也跟去了。 40 到了山上,祂对门徒说:“你们要祷告,以免陷入诱惑!”

41 然后,祂独自走到离门徒约有扔一块石头那么远的地方跪下祷告: 42 “父啊,若你愿意,求你撤去此杯。然而,愿你的旨意成就,而非我的意愿。” 43 有一位从天上来的天使向祂显现,给祂加添力量。

44 祂心中极其悲痛,祷告更恳切,汗珠如血滴在地上。

45 祂祷告完后,便起身回到门徒那里,看见他们因忧愁而疲惫地睡着了, 46 就说:“你们为什么睡觉呢?要起来祷告,以免陷入诱惑!”

耶稣被捕

47 耶稣还在说话的时候,十二使徒中的犹大已带着一群人赶到,他上前亲吻耶稣。 48 耶稣对他说:“犹大,你用亲吻的暗号来出卖人子吗?”

49 跟随耶稣的人见他们来势汹汹,就说:“主啊,我们该拔刀抵抗吗?” 50 其中一人拔刀朝大祭司的奴仆砍过去,削掉了他的右耳。

51 耶稣却说:“住手!够了!”于是祂摸那奴仆的耳朵,治好了他, 52 然后对前来抓祂的祭司长、圣殿护卫长和长老说:“你们像对付强盗一样拿着刀棍来抓我吗? 53 我天天和你们一起在圣殿里,你们没有抓我。但现在正是黑暗当权、你们得势的时候了!”

彼得不认主

54 他们把耶稣押到大祭司的府第。彼得远远地跟在后面。

55 他们在庭院当中生起了火,围坐取暖,彼得也坐在他们中间。 56 有个婢女看见彼得坐在火堆边,打量他一番后,说:“这人是与耶稣一伙的!”

57 彼得却否认说:“你这女子,我不认识祂。”

58 过了一会儿,又有个人看见了彼得,就说:“你也是跟他们一伙的!”

彼得说:“你这人,我不是!”

59 大约一小时之后,又有人指着彼得肯定地说:“这人确实是和耶稣一伙的,因为他也是加利利人。”

60 彼得说:“你这人,我不知道你在说什么!”话才出口,鸡就叫了。

61 这时,主转过头来望着彼得,彼得想起主对他说的话:“明早鸡叫之前,你会三次不认我。” 62 他就到外面,痛哭起来。

在公会受审

63 看守耶稣的人嘲弄祂,殴打祂, 64 蒙住祂的眼睛,对祂说:“说预言吧!是谁在打你?” 65 还说了许多侮辱祂的话。

66 天亮后,民间的长老、祭司长和律法教师聚在一起,把耶稣押到他们的公会, 67 对祂说:“如果你是基督,就告诉我们。”

耶稣说:“即使我告诉你们,你们也不会相信。 68 如果我问你们,你们也不会回答。 69 但从今以后,人子要坐在全能上帝的右边。”

70 他们都问:“那么,你是上帝的儿子吗?”耶稣回答说:“你们说我是。”

71 他们说:“我们还需要什么见证呢?我们已经听见祂自己说的了。”

猶大出賣耶穌

22 除酵節,又名逾越節,快到了。 祭司長和律法教師因為害怕百姓,便密謀如何殺害耶穌。 這時,撒旦進入加略人猶大的心,這人原是十二使徒之一。 他去見祭司長和聖殿護衛長,商議如何把耶穌出賣給他們, 他們喜出望外,答應給猶大一筆酬金。 猶大同意了,便伺機找百姓不在的場合將耶穌交給他們。

最後的晚餐

除酵節到了,那天要宰殺逾越羊羔。 耶穌差派彼得和約翰出去,說:「你們為我們準備逾越節吃的晚餐。」

他們問:「你要我們到哪裡去預備呢?」

10 耶穌回答說:「你們進城的時候,一個男子會扛著一瓶水迎面走來,你們要跟著他,他進哪所房子,你們也進去, 11 對房子的主人說,『老師問你客房在哪裡,祂要和門徒在裡面吃逾越節的晚餐。』 12 那主人會帶你們到樓上一間佈置整齊的大房間,你們就在那裡預備吧。」

13 他們進了城,所遇見的果然和耶穌所說的一樣。他們便在那裡預備逾越節的晚餐。

設立聖餐

14 晚餐時,耶穌和使徒們一同坐席。 15 耶穌對他們說:「我一直盼望在受難之前和你們同吃這個逾越節的宴席。 16 我告訴你們,在這宴席成就在上帝的國度之前,我不會再吃這宴席了。」

17 祂接過杯來,祝謝後,說:「你們拿去分著喝吧。 18 我告訴你們,在上帝的國降臨之前,我不會再喝這葡萄酒了。」

19 接著,祂拿起餅來,祝謝後,掰開遞給他們,說:「這是我為你們犧牲的身體,你們今後也要這樣做,以紀念我。」

20 飯後,祂又舉起杯來,說:「這杯是用我的血立的新約,這血是為你們流的。

21 「但是看啊,那出賣我之人的手和我的手都在桌子上。 22 按照所定的,人子要死去,但那出賣人子的人有禍了!」 23 他們開始彼此追問誰會出賣耶穌。

誰最偉大

24 門徒又開始爭論他們當中誰最偉大。 25 耶穌對他們說:「外族人有君王統治他們,那些統治者被稱為恩主, 26 但你們不可這樣。相反,你們中間地位最高的,要像最卑微的;做首領的,要像服侍人的。 27 坐著吃飯的和伺候的哪個地位高呢?難道不是坐著的那個嗎?然而,我在你們當中是服侍人的。

28 「在我患難之時,你們一直在我身邊, 29 所以,我父怎樣將國賜給我,我也照樣將國賜給你們, 30 使你們在我的國中和我一同坐席,並且坐在寶座上審判以色列的十二個支派。」

預言彼得不認主

31 耶穌說:「西門!西門!撒旦已經要求像篩麥子一樣篩你們, 32 但我已經為你禱告了,叫你不至於失去信心。你回頭以後,要讓你的弟兄剛強。」

33 西門·彼得說:「主啊,我願意和你一起坐牢,一起受死!」

34 耶穌說:「彼得,我告訴你,明早雞叫之前,你會三次不認我。」

35 耶穌又問門徒:「我派你們出去的時候,無錢袋、背包和鞋子,你們有任何缺乏嗎?」

他們答道:「沒有。」

36 耶穌說:「但現在如果有錢袋或背包,都要帶著;如果沒有刀劍,要賣掉衣服買刀劍。 37 我告訴你們,『祂要被列在罪犯中』這句經文必在我身上應驗,因為聖經上有關我的事情快要實現了。」

38 他們說:「主啊,請看,這裡有兩把刀。」耶穌說:「夠了。」

橄欖山上的禱告

39 耶穌離開,像往常一樣前往橄欖山,門徒也跟去了。 40 到了山上,祂對門徒說:「你們要禱告,以免陷入誘惑!」

41 然後,祂獨自走到離門徒約有扔一塊石頭那麼遠的地方跪下禱告: 42 「父啊,若你願意,求你撤去此杯,然而,願你的旨意成就,而非我的意願。」 43 有一位從天上來的天使向祂顯現,給祂加添力量。

44 祂心中極其悲痛,禱告更懇切,汗珠如血滴在地上。

45 祂禱告完後,便起身回到門徒那裡,看見他們因憂愁而疲憊地睡著了, 46 就說:「你們為什麼睡覺呢?要起來禱告,以免陷入誘惑!」

耶穌被捕

47 耶穌還在說話的時候,十二使徒中的猶大已帶著一群人趕到,他上前親吻耶穌。 48 耶穌對他說:「猶大,你用親吻的暗號來出賣人子嗎?」

49 跟隨耶穌的人見他們來勢洶洶,就說:「主啊,我們該拔刀抵抗嗎?」 50 其中一人拔刀朝大祭司的奴僕砍過去,削掉了他的右耳。

51 耶穌卻說:「住手!夠了!」於是祂摸那奴僕的耳朵,治好了他, 52 然後對前來抓祂的祭司長、聖殿護衛長和長老說:「你們像對付強盜一樣拿著刀棍來抓我嗎? 53 我天天和你們一起在聖殿裡,你們沒有抓我。但現在正是黑暗當權、你們得勢的時候了!」

彼得不認主

54 他們把耶穌押到大祭司的府第。彼得遠遠地跟在後面。

55 他們在庭院當中生起了火,圍坐取暖,彼得也坐在他們中間。 56 有個婢女看見彼得坐在火堆邊,打量他一番後,說:「這人是與耶穌一夥的!」

57 彼得卻否認說:「你這女子,我不認識祂。」

58 過了一會兒,又有個人看見了彼得,就說:「你也是跟他們一夥的!」

彼得說:「你這人,我不是!」

59 大約一小時之後,又有人指著彼得肯定地說:「這人確實是和耶穌一夥的,因為他也是加利利人。」

60 彼得說:「你這人,我不知道你在說什麼!」話才出口,雞就叫了。

61 這時,主轉過頭來望著彼得,彼得想起主對他說的話:「明早雞叫之前,你會三次不認我。」 62 他就到外面,痛哭起來。

在公會受審

63 看守耶穌的人嘲弄祂,毆打祂, 64 蒙住祂的眼睛,對祂說:「說預言吧!是誰在打你?」 65 還說了許多侮辱祂的話。

66 天亮後,民間的長老、祭司長和律法教師聚在一起,把耶穌押到他們的公會, 67 對祂說:「如果你是基督,就告訴我們。」

耶穌說:「即使我告訴你們,你們也不會相信。 68 如果我問你們,你們也不會回答。 69 但從今以後,人子要坐在全能上帝的右邊。」

70 他們都問:「那麼,你是上帝的兒子嗎?」耶穌回答說:「你們說我是。」

71 他們說:「我們還需要什麼見證呢?我們已經聽見祂自己說的了。」

22 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being one of the twelve.

And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him unto them.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb must be killed.

And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.”

And they said unto Him, “Where wilt Thou have us prepare?”

10 And He said unto them, “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the master of the house, ‘The Master saith unto thee, “Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished. There make ready.”

13 And they went and found as He had said unto them. And they made ready the Passover.

14 And when the hour had come, He sat down and the twelve apostles with Him.

15 And He said unto them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

16 for I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

17 And He took the cup, and gave thanks and said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves;

18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God shall come.”

19 And He took bread, and gave thanks and broke it and gave it unto them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”

20 Likewise also He took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you.

21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth Me is with Me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of Man goeth as it was determined; but woe unto that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 And they began to inquire among themselves which of them it was that should do this thing.

24 And there was also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

25 And He said unto them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26 But ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at meat or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as He that serveth.

28 “Ye are they that have continued with Me in My temptations.

29 And I appoint unto you a Kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me,

30 that ye may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”

33 And Peter said unto Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into prison and to death.”

34 And He said, “I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me.”

35 And He said unto them, “When I sent you without purse and pack and shoes, lacked ye anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

36 Then said He unto them, “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it and likewise his pack; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

37 For I say unto you that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned among the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”

38 And they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” And He said unto them, “It is enough.”

39 And He came out and went, as He was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and His disciples also followed Him.

40 And when He was at the place, He said unto them, “Pray that ye enter not into temptation.”

41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down and prayed,

42 saying, “Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Thine be done.”

43 And there appeared an angel unto Him from Heaven, strengthening Him.

44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 And when He rose up from prayer and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.

46 And He said unto them, “Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.”

47 And while He yet spoke, behold, a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near unto Jesus to kiss Him.

48 But Jesus said unto him, “Judas, betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When those who were about Him saw what would follow, they said unto Him, “Lord, shall we smite with the sword?”

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 And Jesus answered and said, “Suffer ye thus far.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests and captains of the temple and the elders, who had come to Him, “Have ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against Me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

54 Then they took Him and led Him, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him and said, “This man was also with him.”

57 And he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I know Him not.”

58 And after a little while another saw him and said, “Thou art also of them.” And Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 And after the space of about an hour, another confidently affirmed, saying, “In truth this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean.”

60 And Peter said, “Man, I know not what thou sayest!” And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.

61 And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, “Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.”

62 And Peter went out and wept bitterly.

63 And the men who held Jesus mocked Him and smote Him.

64 And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that smote thee?”

65 And many other things they spoke blasphemously against Him.

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led Him into their council, saying,

67 “Art thou the Christ? Tell us.” And He said unto them, “If I tell you, ye will not believe.

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer Me nor let Me go.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

70 Then said they all, “Art thou then the Son of God?” And He said unto them, “Ye say that I am.”

71 And they said, “What need we any further witness? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”
