殺害耶穌的陰謀(A)

22 除酵節,又叫逾越節,近了。 祭司長和文士在想法子怎樣殺害耶穌,因他們懼怕百姓。 這時,撒但入了那稱為加略猶大的心。他本是十二使徒裏的一個。 他去跟祭司長和守殿官商量怎樣把耶穌交給他們。 他們很高興,就約定給他銀子。 他應允了,就找機會,要趁眾人不在跟前的時候把耶穌交給他們。

預備逾越節的宴席(B)

除酵節到了,這一天必須宰逾越節的羔羊。 耶穌打發彼得約翰,說:「你們去為我們預備逾越節的宴席,好讓我們吃。」 他們問他:「你要我們在哪裏預備?」 10 耶穌對他們說:「你們進了城,會有人拿着一罐水迎面而來,你們就跟着他,到他所進的房子裏去, 11 對那家的主人說:『老師問:客房在哪裏?我和我的門徒要在那裏吃逾越節的宴席。』 12 他會帶你們看一間擺設齊全的樓上大廳,你們就在那裏預備。」 13 他們去了,所看到的正如耶穌所說的。他們就預備了逾越節的宴席。

設立主的晚餐(C)

14 時候到了,耶穌坐席,使徒們也和他同坐。 15 耶穌對他們說:「我非常渴望在受害以前和你們吃這逾越節的宴席。 16 我告訴你們,我不再吃這宴席,直到它實現在 神的國裏。」 17 耶穌接過杯來,祝謝了,說:「你們拿這杯,大家分着喝。 18 我告訴你們,從今以後,我不再喝這葡萄汁,直等 神的國來到。」 19 他又拿起餅來,祝謝了,就擘開,遞給他們,說:「這是我的身體,為你們捨的,你們要如此行,為的是記念我。」 20 飯後他照樣拿起杯來,說:「這杯是用我的血所立的新約,為你們流出來的。 21 但是,看哪,那出賣我的人的手跟我一同在桌子上。 22 人子固然要照所預定的離去,但那出賣人子的人有禍了!」 23 於是他們開始互相追問他們中間哪一個會做這事。

爭論誰為大

24 門徒中間也起了爭論:他們中哪一個可算為大。 25 耶穌對他們說:「外邦人有君王為主治理他們,那掌權管他們的稱為恩主。 26 但你們不可這樣。你們中間最大的,倒要成為最小的;為領袖的,倒要像服事人的。 27 是誰為大?是坐席的還是服事人的呢?不是坐席的大嗎?然而,我在你們中間是如同服事人的。

28 「我在試煉之中,常和我同在的就是你們。 29 我把國賜給你們,正如我父賜給我一樣, 30 使你們在我的國裏坐在我的席上吃喝,並且坐在寶座上審判以色列十二個支派。」

預言彼得不認主(D)

31 主又說:「西門西門!撒但要得着你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣; 32 但我已經為你祈求,使你不至於失了信心。你回頭以後,要堅固你的弟兄。」 33 彼得對他說:「主啊,我已準備好要同你坐牢,與你同死。」 34 耶穌說:「彼得,我告訴你,今日雞還沒有叫,你要三次說不認得我。」

錢囊、行囊、刀

35 耶穌又對他們說:「我差你們出去的時候,沒有錢囊,沒有行囊,沒有鞋子,你們缺少甚麼沒有?」他們說:「沒有。」 36 耶穌對他們說:「但如今,有錢囊的要帶着,有行囊的也一樣;沒有刀的要賣衣服買刀。 37 我告訴你們,經上寫着說:『他被列在罪犯之中。』這話必須應驗在我身上,因為那關於我的事必然成就。」 38 他們說:「主啊,請看!這裏有兩把刀。」耶穌對他們說:「夠了。」

在橄欖山上禱告(E)

39 耶穌出來,照常往橄欖山去,門徒也跟隨他。 40 到了那地方,他就對他們說:「你們要禱告,免得陷入試探。」 41 於是他離開他們約有一塊石頭扔出去那麼遠,跪下禱告, 42 說:「父啊!你若願意,求你將這杯撤去;然而,不是照我的意願,而是要成全你的旨意。」 〔 43 有一位天使從天上顯現,加添他的力量。 44 耶穌非常痛苦焦慮,禱告更加懇切,汗如大血點滴在地上。[a] 45 禱告完了,他起來,到門徒那裏,見他們因為憂愁都睡着了, 46 就對他們說:「你們為甚麼睡覺呢?起來禱告,免得陷入試探!」

耶穌被捕(F)

47 耶穌還在說話的時候,來了一羣人。十二使徒之一名叫猶大的,走在前頭,接近耶穌,要親他。 48 耶穌對他說:「猶大,你用親吻來出賣人子嗎?」 49 左右的人見了要發生的事,就說:「主啊,我們拿刀砍好不好?」 50 其中有一個人把大祭司的僕人砍了一刀,削掉了他的右耳。 51 耶穌回答說:「算了,住手吧!」就摸那人的耳朵,把他治好了。 52 耶穌對那些來抓他的祭司長、守殿官和長老說:「你們帶着刀棒出來,如同對付強盜嗎? 53 我天天同你們在聖殿裏,你們不下手抓我。現在卻是你們的時候,黑暗掌權了。」

彼得三次不認主(G)

54 他們拿住耶穌,把他帶走,進入大祭司的住宅。彼得遠遠地跟着。 55 他們在院子中間生了火,一同坐着,彼得也坐在他們當中。 56 有一個使女看見彼得面向火光坐着,就定睛看他,說:「這個人素來也是同那人一起的。」 57 彼得卻不承認,說:「你這個女人,我不認得他!」 58 過了一會兒,又有一個人看見他,說:「你也是他們一夥的。」彼得說:「你這個人,我不是!」 59 約過了一小時,又有一個人堅持說:「他實在是同那人一起的,因為他也是加利利人。」 60 彼得說:「你這個人,我不知道你在說甚麼!」正說話之間,雞就叫了。 61 主轉過身來看彼得彼得就想起主對他所說的話:「今日雞叫以前,你要三次不認我。」 62 他就出去痛哭。

戲弄鞭打耶穌(H)

63 看守耶穌的人戲弄他,打他, 64 又蒙着他的眼,問他:「你說預言吧!打你的是誰?」 65 他們還用許多別的話辱罵他。

耶穌在議會受審(I)

66 天一亮,民間的眾長老、祭司長和文士都聚集,把耶穌帶到他們的議會裏, 67 說:「如果你是基督,就告訴我們。」耶穌對他們說:「我若告訴你們,你們也不信; 68 我若問你們,你們也不回答。 69 從今以後,人子要坐在權能者 神的右邊。」 70 他們都說:「那麼,你是 神的兒子了?」耶穌對他們說:「你們說我是。」 71 他們說:「我們何必再要見證呢?他親口所說的,我們都親耳聽見了。」

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,(B) and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus,(C) for they were afraid of the people. Then Satan(D) entered Judas, called Iscariot,(E) one of the Twelve. And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard(F) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted and agreed to give him money.(G) He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

The Last Supper(H)(I)(J)(K)(L)

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(M) Jesus sent Peter and John,(N) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(O) So they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(P) reclined at the table.(Q) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(R) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(S)

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(T) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(U) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.(V) 22 The Son of Man(W) will go as it has been decreed.(X) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(Y) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(Z) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(AA) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(AB) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(AC) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(AD) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AE)

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked(AF) to sift all of you as wheat.(AG) 32 But I have prayed for you,(AH) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(AI)

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”(AJ)

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(AK) did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b];(AL) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives(AM)

39 Jesus went out as usual(AN) to the Mount of Olives,(AO) and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”(AP) 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down(AQ) and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup(AR) from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”(AS) 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.(AT) 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]

45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”(AU)

Jesus Arrested(AV)

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”(AW) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,(AX) and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts,(AY) and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour(AZ)—when darkness reigns.”(BA)

Peter Disowns Jesus(BB)

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(BC) Peter followed at a distance.(BD) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(BE)

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(BF) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(BG) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Guards Mock Jesus(BH)

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.(BI)

Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(BJ)(BK)(BL)

66 At daybreak the council(BM) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(BN) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(BO) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(BP)

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(BQ)

He replied, “You say that I am.”(BR)

71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

Judas acuerda traicionar a Jesús

22 Se acercaba el Festival de los Panes sin Levadura, también llamado Pascua. Los principales sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley religiosa tramaban de qué manera matar a Jesús, pero tenían miedo de la reacción de la gente.

Entonces Satanás entró en Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce discípulos, quien fue a ver a los principales sacerdotes y a los capitanes de la guardia del templo para hablar con ellos sobre la mejor manera de traicionar a Jesús. Ellos quedaron complacidos y prometieron darle dinero. Judas aceptó y comenzó a buscar una oportunidad para traicionar a Jesús de modo que ellos pudieran arrestarlo cuando las multitudes no estuvieran rodeándolo.

La última cena

Llegó el Festival de los Panes sin Levadura, cuando se sacrifica el cordero de la Pascua. Jesús mandó que Pedro y Juan se adelantaran y les dijo:

—Vayan y preparen la cena de Pascua, para que podamos comerla juntos.

—¿Dónde quieres que la preparemos?—le preguntaron.

10 Él contestó:

—En cuanto entren en Jerusalén, les saldrá al encuentro un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua. Síganlo. En la casa donde él entre, 11 díganle al dueño: “El Maestro pregunta: ¿Dónde está el cuarto de huéspedes en el que puedo comer la cena de Pascua con mis discípulos?”. 12 Él los llevará a un cuarto grande en el piso de arriba, que ya está listo. Allí deben preparar nuestra cena.

13 Ellos fueron a la ciudad y encontraron todo como Jesús les había dicho y allí prepararon la cena de Pascua.

14 Cuando llegó la hora, Jesús y los apóstoles se sentaron juntos a la mesa.[a] 15 Jesús dijo: «He tenido muchos deseos de comer esta Pascua con ustedes antes de que comiencen mis sufrimientos. 16 Pues ahora les digo que no volveré a comerla hasta que su significado se cumpla en el reino de Dios».

17 Luego tomó en sus manos una copa de vino y le dio gracias a Dios por ella. Entonces dijo: «Tomen esto y repártanlo entre ustedes. 18 Pues no volveré a beber vino hasta que venga el reino de Dios».

19 Tomó un poco de pan y dio gracias a Dios por él. Luego lo partió en trozos, lo dio a sus discípulos y dijo: «Esto es mi cuerpo, el cual es entregado por ustedes. Hagan esto en memoria de mí».

20 Después de la cena, tomó en sus manos otra copa de vino y dijo: «Esta copa es el nuevo pacto entre Dios y su pueblo, un acuerdo confirmado con mi sangre, la cual es derramada como sacrificio por ustedes.[b]

21 »Pero aquí en esta mesa, sentado entre nosotros como un amigo, está el hombre que me traicionará. 22 Pues está establecido que el Hijo del Hombre[c] tiene que morir. ¡Pero qué aflicción le espera a aquel que lo traiciona!». 23 Los discípulos comenzaron a preguntarse unos a otros quién sería capaz de hacer semejante cosa.

24 Después comenzaron a discutir quién sería el más importante entre ellos. 25 Jesús les dijo: «En este mundo, los reyes y los grandes hombres tratan a su pueblo con prepotencia; sin embargo, son llamados “amigos del pueblo”. 26 Pero entre ustedes será diferente. El más importante de ustedes deberá tomar el puesto más bajo, y el líder debe ser como un sirviente. 27 ¿Quién es más importante: el que se sienta a la mesa o el que la sirve? El que se sienta a la mesa, por supuesto. ¡Pero en este caso no!, pues yo estoy entre ustedes como uno que sirve.

28 »Ustedes han estado conmigo durante mis tiempos de prueba. 29 Así como mi Padre me concedió un reino, yo ahora les concedo el derecho 30 de comer y beber a mi mesa en mi reino, y se sentarán sobre tronos y juzgarán a las doce tribus de Israel.

Jesús predice la negación de Pedro

31 »Simón, Simón, Satanás ha pedido zarandear a cada uno de ustedes como si fueran trigo; 32 pero yo he rogado en oración por ti, Simón, para que tu fe no falle, de modo que cuando te arrepientas y vuelvas a mí fortalezcas a tus hermanos».

33 Pedro dijo:

—Señor, estoy dispuesto a ir a prisión contigo y aun a morir contigo.

34 Jesús le respondió:

—Pedro, déjame decirte algo. Mañana por la mañana, antes de que cante el gallo, negarás tres veces que me conoces.

35 Entonces Jesús les preguntó:

—Cuando los envié a predicar la Buena Noticia y no tenían dinero ni bolso de viaje ni otro par de sandalias, ¿les faltó algo?

—No—respondieron ellos.

36 —Pero ahora—les dijo—, tomen su dinero y un bolso de viaje; y si no tienen espada, ¡vendan su manto y compren una! 37 Pues ha llegado el tiempo en que se cumpla la siguiente profecía acerca de mí: “Fue contado entre los rebeldes”[d]. Así es, todo lo que los profetas escribieron acerca de mí se cumplirá.

38 —Mira Señor—le respondieron—, contamos con dos espadas entre nosotros.

—Es suficiente—les dijo.

Jesús ora en el monte de los Olivos

39 Luego, acompañado por sus discípulos, Jesús salió del cuarto en el piso de arriba y, como de costumbre, fue al monte de los Olivos. 40 Allí les dijo: «Oren para que no cedan a la tentación».

41 Se alejó a una distancia como de un tiro de piedra, se arrodilló y oró: 42 «Padre, si quieres, te pido que quites esta copa de sufrimiento de mí. Sin embargo, quiero que se haga tu voluntad, no la mía». 43 Entonces apareció un ángel del cielo y lo fortaleció. 44 Oró con más fervor, y estaba en tal agonía de espíritu que su sudor caía a tierra como grandes gotas de sangre.[e]

45 Finalmente se puso de pie y regresó adonde estaban sus discípulos, pero los encontró dormidos, exhaustos por la tristeza. 46 «¿Por qué duermen?—les preguntó—. Levántense y oren para que no cedan ante la tentación».

Traicionan y arrestan a Jesús

47 Mientras Jesús hablaba, se acercó una multitud, liderada por Judas, uno de los doce discípulos. Judas caminó hacia Jesús para saludarlo con un beso. 48 Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Judas, ¿con un beso traicionas al Hijo del Hombre?».

49 Cuando los otros discípulos vieron lo que estaba por suceder, exclamaron: «Señor, ¿peleamos? ¡Trajimos las espadas!». 50 Y uno de ellos hirió al esclavo del sumo sacerdote cortándole la oreja derecha.

51 Pero Jesús dijo: «Basta». Y tocó la oreja del hombre y lo sanó.

52 Entonces Jesús habló a los principales sacerdotes, a los capitanes de la guardia del templo y a los ancianos, que habían venido a buscarlo. «¿Acaso soy un peligroso revolucionario, para que vengan con espadas y palos para arrestarme? —les preguntó—. 53 ¿Por qué no me arrestaron en el templo? Estuve allí todos los días, pero este es el momento de ustedes, el tiempo en que reina el poder de la oscuridad».

Pedro niega a Jesús

54 Entonces lo arrestaron y lo llevaron a la casa del sumo sacerdote. Y Pedro los siguió de lejos. 55 Los guardias encendieron una fogata en medio del patio y se sentaron alrededor, y Pedro se sumó al grupo. 56 Una sirvienta lo vio a la luz de la fogata y comenzó a mirarlo fijamente. Por fin dijo: «Este hombre era uno de los seguidores de Jesús».

57 Pero Pedro lo negó: «¡Mujer, ni siquiera lo conozco!».

58 Después de un rato, alguien más lo vio y dijo:

—Seguramente tú eres uno de ellos.

—¡No, hombre, no lo soy!—contestó.

59 Alrededor de una hora más tarde, otra persona insistió: «Seguro este es uno de ellos porque también es galileo».

60 Pero Pedro dijo: «¡Hombre, no sé de qué hablas!». Inmediatamente, mientras aún hablaba, el gallo cantó.

61 En ese momento, el Señor se volvió y miró a Pedro. De repente, las palabras del Señor pasaron rápidamente por la mente de Pedro: «Mañana por la mañana, antes de que cante el gallo, negarás tres veces que me conoces». 62 Y Pedro salió del patio, llorando amargamente.

63 Los guardias que estaban a cargo de Jesús comenzaron a burlarse de él y a golpearlo. 64 Le vendaron los ojos y le decían: «¡Profetízanos! ¿Quién te golpeó esta vez?». 65 Y le lanzaban todo tipo de insultos.

Jesús ante el Concilio

66 Al amanecer, todos los ancianos del pueblo se reunieron, incluidos los principales sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley religiosa. Llevaron a Jesús ante el Concilio Supremo[f] 67 y le dijeron:

—Dinos, ¿eres tú el Mesías?

Él les respondió:

—Si lo dijera, no me creerían; 68 y si yo les hiciera una pregunta, ustedes no me la contestarían. 69 Sin embargo, desde ahora, el Hijo del Hombre estará sentado en el lugar de poder, a la derecha de Dios.[g]

70 Todos gritaron:

—¿Entonces afirmas que eres el Hijo de Dios?

Y él contestó:

—Ustedes dicen que lo soy.

71 «¿Para qué necesitamos otros testigos?—dijeron—. Nosotros mismos lo oímos decirlo».

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 of the number 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 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 that we 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 goodman 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 shew 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 was 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 any more 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 brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also 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 enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24 And there was also a strife 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 upon 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 whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

28 Ye are they which 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 he 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 that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: 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 an 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 was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

47 And while he yet spake, 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 they which 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, which were come to him, Be 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 took they 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 were set 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 about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

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 that 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 blasphemously spake they 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 of his own mouth.
