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。”

22 Malapit na nga ang pista ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura, na tinatawag na Paskua.

At pinagsisikapan ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng mga eskriba kung paanong kanilang maipapapatay siya; sapagka't nangatatakot sila sa bayan.

At pumasok si Satanas kay Judas, na tinatawag na Iscariote, na kabilang sa labingdalawa.

At siya'y umalis, at nakipagusap sa mga pangulong saserdote at mga punong kawal kung paanong maibibigay niya siya sa kanila.

At sila'y nangagalak, at pinagkasunduang bigyan siya ng salapi.

At pumayag siya, at humanap ng ukol na panahon upang kaniyang maibigay siya sa kanila, nang hindi kaharap ang karamihan.

At dumating ang araw ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura, na noon ay kinakailangang ihain ang paskua.

At sinugo niya si Pedro at si Juan, na sinasabi, Magsihayo kayo at magsipaghanda kayo ng kordero ng paskua para sa atin, upang tayo'y magsikain.

At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Saan mo ibig na aming ihanda?

10 At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Narito, pagpasok ninyo sa bayan, ay masasalubong ninyo ang isang lalake na may dalang isang bangang tubig; sundan ninyo siya hanggang sa bahay na kaniyang papasukan.

11 At sasabihin ninyo sa puno ng sangbahayan, Sinasabi ng Guro sa iyo, Saan naroon ang tuluyang aking makakanan ng kordero ng paskua na kasalo ng aking mga alagad?

12 At ituturo niya sa inyo ang isang malaking silid sa itaas na nagagayakan: doon ninyo ihanda.

13 At nagsiparoon sila, at nasumpungan ayon sa sinabi niya sa kanila: at inihanda nila ang kordero ng paskua.

14 At nang dumating ang oras, ay naupo siya, at ang mga apostol ay kasalo niya.

15 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Pinakahahangad kong kanin na kasalo ninyo ang kordero ng paskuang ito bago ako maghirap:

16 Sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ito'y hindi ko kakanin, hanggang sa ito'y maganap sa kaharian ng Dios.

17 At siya'y tumanggap ng isang saro, at nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay sinabi niya, Kunin ninyo ito, at inyong pagbahabahaginin:

18 Sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na hindi na ako iinom mula ngayon ng bunga ng ubas, hanggang sa dumating ang kaharian ng Dios.

19 At siya'y dumampot ng tinapay, at nang siya'y makapagpasalamat, ay kaniyang pinagputolputol, at ibinigay sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ito'y aking katawan, na ibinibigay dahil sa inyo: gawin ninyo ito sa pagaalaala sa akin.

20 Gayon din naman ang saro, pagkatapos na makahapon, na sinasabi, Ang sarong ito'y ang bagong tipan sa aking dugo, na nabubuhos nang dahil sa inyo.

21 Datapuwa't narito, ang kamay ng nagkakanulo sa akin, ay kasalo ko sa dulang.

22 Sapagka't ang Anak ng tao nga ay yayaon, ayon sa itinakda: datapuwa't sa aba niyaong taong nagkakanulo sa kaniya!

23 At sila'y nagpasimulang nangagtanungan sa isa't isa, kung sino sa kanila ang gagawa ng bagay na ito.

24 At nagkaroon naman ng isang pagtatalotalo sa gitna nila, kung sino kaya sa kanila ang ibibilang na pinakadakila.

25 At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Ang mga hari ng mga Gentil ay napapanginoon sa kanila; at ang mga may kapamahalaan sa kanila'y tinatawag na mga Tagapagpala.

26 Datapuwa't sa inyo'y hindi gayon: kundi bagkus ang lalong dakila sa inyo ay maging tulad sa lalong bata; at ang nangungulo ay maging gaya ng naglilingkod.

27 Sapagka't alin ang lalong dakila, ang nakaupo baga sa dulang, o ang naglilingkod? hindi baga ang nakaupo sa dulang? datapuwa't ako'y nasa gitna ninyo na gaya niyaong naglilingkod.

28 Datapuwa't kayo ay yaong nagsipanatili sa akin sa mga pagtukso sa akin;

29 At kayo'y inihahalal kong isang kaharian, na gaya nga ng pagkahalal sa akin ng aking Ama,

30 Upang kayo'y magsikain at magsiinom sa aking dulang sa kaharian ko; at kayo'y magsisiupo sa mga luklukan, na inyong huhukuman ang labingdalawang angkan ni Israel.

31 Simon, Simon, narito, hiningi ka ni Satanas upang ikaw ay maliglig niyang gaya ng trigo:

32 Datapuwa't ikaw ay ipinamanhik ko, na huwag magkulang ang iyong pananampalataya; at ikaw, kung makapagbalik ka nang muli, ay papagtibayin mo ang iyong mga kapatid.

33 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Panginoon, nakatalaga akong sumama sa iyo sa bilangguan at sa kamatayan.

34 At kaniyang sinabi, Sinasabi ko sa iyo, Pedro, na hindi titilaok ngayon ang manok, hanggang sa ikaila mong makaitlo na ako'y hindi mo nakikilala.

35 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nang kayo'y suguin ko na walang supot ng salapi, at supot ng pagkain, at mga pangyapak, kinulang baga kayo ng anoman? At kanilang sinabi, Hindi.

36 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nguni't ngayon, ang mayroong supot ng salapi ay dalhin ito, at gayon din ang supot ng pagkain; at ang wala, ay ipagbili niya ang kaniyang balabal, at bumili ng isang tabak.

37 Sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kinakailangang matupad sa akin itong nasusulat, At ibinilang siya sa mga suwail: sapagka't ang nauukol sa akin ay may katuparan.

38 At sinabi nila, Panginoon, narito ang dalawang tabak. At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sukat na.

39 At siya'y lumabas, at pumaroon, ayon sa kaniyang kaugalian, sa bundok ng mga Olivo; at nagsisunod naman sa kaniya ang mga alagad.

40 At nang siya'y dumating sa dakong yaon, ay sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsipanalangin kayo nang huwag kayong magsipasok sa tukso.

41 At siya'y humiwalay sa kanila na may agwat na isang itsang bato; at siya'y nanikluhod at nanalangin,

42 Na sinasabi, Ama, kung ibig mo, ilayo mo sa akin ang sarong ito: gayon ma'y huwag mangyari ang aking kalooban, kundi ang iyo.

43 At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel na mula sa langit, na nagpalakas sa kaniya.

44 At nang siya'y nanglulumo ay nanalangin siya ng lalong maningas; at ang kaniyang pawis ay naging gaya ng malalaking patak ng dugo na nagsisitulo sa lupa.

45 At nang magtindig siya sa kaniyang pananalangin, ay lumapit siya sa mga alagad, at naratnan silang nangatutulog dahil sa hapis,

46 At sinabi sa kanila, Bakit kayo nangatutulog? mangagbangon kayo at magsipanalangin, upang huwag kayong magsipasok sa tukso.

47 Samantalang nagsasalita pa siya, narito, ang isang karamihan, at siyang tinatawag na Judas, na isa sa labingdalawa, ay nangunguna sa kanila; at siya'y lumapit kay Jesus upang ito'y hagkan.

48 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya, Judas, sa isang halik baga ay ipinagkakanulo mo ang Anak ng tao?

49 At nang makita ng mga kasama niya ang mangyayari, ay kanilang sinabi, Panginoon, magsisipanaga baga kami ng tabak?

50 At tinaga ng isa sa kanila ang alipin ng dakilang saserdote, at tinigpas ang kanang tainga niya.

51 Datapuwa't sumagot si Jesus, na nagsabi, Pabayaan ninyo sila hanggang dito. At hinipo niya ang tainga ng alipin, at ito'y pinagaling.

52 At sinabi ni Jesus sa mga pangulong saserdote, at sa mga punong kawal sa templo, at sa mga matanda, na nagsidating laban sa kaniya, Kayo'y nagsilabas, na tila laban sa isang tulisan, na may mga tabak at mga panghampas?

53 Nang ako'y kasama ninyo sa templo araw-araw, ay hindi ninyo iniunat ang inyong mga kamay laban sa akin; datapuwa't ito ang inyong oras, at ang kapangyarihan ng kadiliman.

54 At kanilang dinakip siya, at dinala siya, at ipinasok siya sa bahay ng pangulong saserdote. Datapuwa't sa malayo'y sumusunod si Pedro.

55 At nang makapagpadikit nga sila ng apoy sa gitna ng looban, at mangakaupong magkakasama, si Pedro ay nakiumpok sa gitna nila.

56 At isang alilang babae, na nakakakita sa kaniya samantalang siya'y nakaupo sa liwanag ng apoy, ay tinitigan siya, at sinabi, Ang taong ito ay kasama rin niya.

57 Datapuwa't siya'y nagkaila, na nagsasabi, Babae, hindi ko siya nakikilala.

58 At pagkaraan ng isang sangdali ay nakita siya ng iba, at sinabi, Ikaw man ay isa sa kanila. Datapuwa't sinabi ni Pedro, Lalake, ako'y hindi.

59 At nang makaraan ang may isang oras, ay pinatotohanan ng iba pa, na nagsasabi, Sa katotohanan, ang taong ito'y kasama rin niya; sapagka't siya'y Galileo.

60 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Pedro, Lalake, hindi ko nalalaman ang sinasabi mo. At pagdaka, samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay tumilaok ang manok.

61 At lumingon ang Panginoon, at tinitigan si Pedro. At naalaala ni Pedro ang salita ng Panginoon, kung paanong sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bago tumilaok ang manok ngayon, ay ikakaila mo akong makaitlo.

62 At siya'y lumabas, at nanangis ng kapaitpaitan.

63 At nililibak si Jesus, at siya'y sinasaktan ng mga taong nangagbabantay.

64 At siya'y piniringan nila, at tinatanong siya, na sinasabi, Hulaan mo; sino ang sa iyo'y humampas?

65 At sinabi nila ang ibang maraming bagay laban sa kaniya, na siya'y inaalimura.

66 At nang araw na, ay nagkatipon ang kapulungan ng matatanda sa bayan, ang mga pangulong saserdote, at gayon din ang mga eskriba, at dinala siya sa kanilang Sanedrin, na sinasabi,

67 Kung ikaw ang Cristo, ay sabihin mo sa amin. Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kanila, Kung sabihin ko sa inyo, ay hindi ninyo ako paniniwalaan:

68 At kung kayo'y aking tanungin, ay hindi kayo magsisisagot.

69 Datapuwa't magmula ngayon ang Anak ng tao ay mauupo sa kanan ng kapangyarihan ng Dios.

70 At sinabi nilang lahat, Kung gayo'y ikaw baga ang Anak ng Dios? At sinabi niya sa kanila, Kayo ang nangagsasabi na ako nga.

71 At sinabi nila, Ano pa ang kailangan natin ng patotoo? sapagka't tayo rin ang nangakarinig sa kaniyang sariling bibig.

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.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)

22 Now (B)the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. And (C)the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

(D)Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the (E)twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. And they were glad, and (F)agreed to give him money. So he promised and sought opportunity to (G)betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.

Jesus and His Disciples Prepare the Passover

(H)Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be [a]killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”

10 And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”

13 So they went and (I)found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

14 (J)When the hour had come, He sat down, and the [b]twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it (K)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for (L)I say to you, [c]I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 (M)And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My (N)body which is given for you; (O)do this in remembrance of Me.”

20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, (P)“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 21 (Q)But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 (R)And truly the Son of Man goes (S)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 (T)Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

The Disciples Argue About Greatness

24 (U)Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25 (V)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 (W)But not so among you; on the contrary, (X)he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. 27 (Y)For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet (Z)I am among you as the One who serves.

28 “But you are those who have continued with Me in (AA)My trials. 29 And (AB)I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30 that (AC)you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, (AD)and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AE)

31 [d]And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, (AF)Satan has asked for you, that he may (AG)sift you as wheat. 32 But (AH)I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, (AI)strengthen your brethren.”

33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

34 (AJ)Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

Supplies for the Road

35 (AK)And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”

So they said, “Nothing.”

36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I say to you that this which is written must still be [e]accomplished in Me: (AL)‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”

38 So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”

And He said to them, “It is enough.”

The Prayer in the Garden(AM)

39 (AN)Coming out, (AO)He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 (AP)When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

41 (AQ)And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless (AR)not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 [f]Then (AS)an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 (AT)And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why (AU)do you sleep? Rise and (AV)pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(AW)

47 And while He was still speaking, (AX)behold, a multitude; and he who was called (AY)Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a (AZ)kiss?”

49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And (BA)one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 (BB)Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a (BC)robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the (BD)temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your (BE)hour, and the power of darkness.”

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(BF)

54 (BG)Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. (BH)But Peter followed at a distance. 55 (BI)Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”

57 But he denied [g]Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 (BJ)And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.”

But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 (BK)Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a (BL)Galilean.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”

Immediately, while he was still speaking, [h]the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then (BM)Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, (BN)“Before the rooster [i]crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Mocked and Beaten(BO)

63 (BP)Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and (BQ)beat Him. 64 [j]And having blindfolded Him, they (BR)struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” 65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BS)

66 (BT)As soon as it was day, (BU)the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 (BV)“If You are the Christ, tell us.”

But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will (BW)by no means believe. 68 And if I [k]also ask you, you will by no means answer [l]Me or let Me go. 69 (BX)Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”

So He said to them, (BY)“You rightly say that I am.”

71 (BZ)And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”
