商議怎樣殺害耶穌(A)

22 除酵節又名逾越節近了。 祭司長和經學家設法怎樣殺害耶穌,因為他們懼怕群眾。 那時,撒但已經進入加略人猶大的心,他原是十二門徒中的一個。 他去與祭司長和守殿官商量怎樣把耶穌交給他們。 他們很高興,約定了給他銀子。 他答應了,就尋找機會,要趁群眾不在的時候,把耶穌交給他們。

預備逾越節的筵席(B)

除酵日到了,在這一天應當宰殺逾越節的羊羔。 耶穌差派彼得和約翰,說:“你們去為我們預備逾越節的晚餐給我們吃。” 他們說:“你要我們在哪裡預備呢?” 10 他說:“你們進了城,必有一個人頂著水罐,迎面而來,你們就跟著他,到他所進的那一家, 11 對家主說,老師問你:‘客廳在哪裡?我和門徒好在那裡吃逾越節的晚餐。’ 12 他必指示你們樓上一間布置整齊的大房子,你們就在那裡預備。” 13 他們去了,所遇見的正像耶穌所說的一樣,就預備好了逾越節的晚餐。

最後的晚餐(C)

14 到了時候,耶穌和使徒一同吃飯。 15 他說:“我十分願意在受難以前,跟你們吃這逾越節的晚餐。 16 我告訴你們,我決不再吃這晚餐,直到它成就在 神的國裡。” 17 耶穌接過杯來,感謝了,說:“你們拿這個,大家分著喝。 18 我告訴你們,從今以後,我決不再喝這葡萄酒,直到 神的國來臨。” 19 他拿起餅來,感謝了,擘開遞給他們,說:“這是我的身體,為你們捨的,你們應當這樣行,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,這血是為你們流的。 21 你看,出賣我的人的手和我一同在桌子上, 22 人子固然要照所預定的離世,但出賣人子的那人有禍了!” 23 於是,門徒彼此對問,他們中間誰要作這事。

門徒再爭論誰最大

24 門徒中間又起了爭論:他們中間誰是最大的。 25 耶穌對他們說:“各國都有君王統治他們,他們的掌權者稱為恩主, 26 但你們卻不要這樣;你們中間最大的,應當像最小的;作首領的,應當像服事人的。 27 哪一個大呢?是坐著吃喝的還是服事人的呢?不是坐著吃喝的嗎?然而我在你們中間,如同服事人的。 28 我在磨煉之中,常常和我同在的就是你們。 29 父怎樣把王權賜給我,我也照樣賜給你們, 30 叫你們在我的國裡坐在我的席上吃喝,又坐在寶座上審判以色列的十二支派。

預言彼得不認主(D)

31 “西門,西門,撒但設法要得著你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣; 32 但我已經為你祈求,叫你的信心不至失掉。你回頭的時候,要堅固你的弟兄。” 33 彼得說:“主啊!我已經準備好要跟你一同下監,一同死。” 34 耶穌說:“彼得,我告訴你,今天雞叫以前,你會三次說不認得我。”

要帶錢囊、口袋和刀

35 耶穌又對他們說:“從前我差你們出去,沒有帶錢囊、口袋、鞋子,你們缺乏甚麼沒有?”他們說:“沒有。” 36 耶穌說:“但現在,有錢囊的應當帶著,有口袋的也是這樣;沒有刀的,要賣掉衣服去買刀。 37 我告訴你們,‘他被列在不法者之中’這句經文,必定應驗在我身上,因為關於我的事必然成就。” 38 他們說:“主啊,請看,這裡有兩把刀。”耶穌說:“夠了。”

在客西馬尼禱告(E)

39 耶穌照常到橄欖山去,門徒也跟著他。 40 到了那裡,他對門徒說:“你們應當禱告,免得陷入試探。” 41 於是耶穌離開他們約有扔一塊石頭那麼遠,跪下禱告說: 42 “父啊,如果你願意,就把這杯拿走!但不要成就我的意思,只要成就你的旨意。”(有些抄本有第43、44節:“有一位天使從天上顯現,加給他力量。耶穌非常傷痛,禱告更加懇切,汗如大血點滴在地上。”) 45 他禱告完了,就起來到門徒那裡,看見他們因為憂愁都睡著了, 46 就說:“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,來了一群人,十二門徒中的猶大走在前頭,到了耶穌跟前要用嘴親他。 48 耶穌對他說:“猶大,你用親吻作暗號出賣人子嗎?” 49 左右的人見了,就說:“主啊,我們用刀砍好嗎?” 50 他們中間有一個人砍了大祭司的僕人一刀,削掉他的右耳。 51 耶穌說:“由他們吧!”就摸那人的耳朵,醫好了他。 52 耶穌對那些前來捉拿他的祭司長、守殿官和長老說:“你們帶著刀棒出來,把我當作強盜捉拿嗎? 53 我天天跟你們在殿裡,你們不向我下手;但現在是你們的時候了,也是黑暗掌權的時候了。”

彼得三次不認主(G)

54 他們拿住耶穌,押到大祭司家裡,彼得遠遠地跟著。 55 他們在院內生了火,一同坐著,彼得也坐在他們中間。 56 有一個使女,見他面向火光坐著,就注視他,說:“這人是和他一夥的。” 57 彼得卻否認,說:“你這個女人,我不認得他。” 58 不久,另一個人看見他,就說:“你也是他們中間的一個。”彼得說:“你這個人,我不是。” 59 大約過了一小時,又有一個人肯定地說:“這人真是和他一夥的,因為他也是加利利人。” 60 彼得說:“你這個人,我不知道你說的是甚麼!”他還在說話的時候,雞就叫了。 61 主轉過身來看彼得,彼得就想起主對他說過的話:“今天雞叫以前,你要三次說不認得我。” 62 他就出去痛哭。

公議會審問耶穌(H)

63 看管耶穌的人戲弄他,打他, 64 蒙住他的眼睛問他:“你說預言吧,說打你的是誰。” 65 他們還說了許多別的辱罵他的話。

66 天一亮,民間的長老、祭司長和經學家就都聚集,把他帶到他們的公議會裡,說: 67 “你若是基督,就告訴我們吧。”耶穌說:“就算我告訴你們,你們也決不相信。 68 如果我問你們,你們也決不回答。 69 從今以後,人子要坐在 神權能的右邊。” 70 他們說:“那麼你是 神的兒子嗎?”耶穌說:“你們說了,我是。” 71 他們說:“我們還需要甚麼見證呢?我們親自聽見他所說的話了。”

Judas Agrees to Hand Jesus Over

22 The Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was near. The chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus. They were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered Judas, who was called Iscariot. Judas was one of the 12 disciples. He went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard. He talked with them about how he could hand Jesus over to them. They were delighted and agreed to give him money. Judas accepted their offer. He watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them. He wanted to do it when no crowd was around.

The Last Supper

Then the day of Unleavened Bread came. That was the time the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John on ahead. “Go,” he told them. “Prepare for us to eat the Passover meal.”

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

10 Jesus replied, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters. 11 Then say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks, “Where is the guest room? Where can I eat the Passover meal with my disciples?” ’ 12 He will show you a large upstairs room with furniture already in it. Prepare for us to eat there.”

13 Peter and John left. They found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles took their places at the table. 15 He said to them, “I have really looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you. I wanted to do this before I suffer. 16 I tell you, I will not eat the Passover meal again until it is celebrated in God’s kingdom.”

17 After Jesus took the cup, he gave thanks. He said, “Take this cup and share it among yourselves. 18 I tell you, I will not drink wine with you again until God’s kingdom comes.”

19 Then Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to them and said, “This is my body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do this in memory of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup. He said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. It is poured out for you. 21 But someone here is going to hand me over to my enemies. His hand is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go to his death, just as God has already decided. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands him over!” 23 The apostles began to ask one another about this. They wondered which one of them would do it.

24 They also started to argue. They disagreed about which of them was thought to be the most important person. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles hold power over their people. And those who order them around call themselves Protectors. 26 But you must not be like that. Instead, the most important among you should be like the youngest. The one who rules should be like the one who serves. 27 Who is more important? Is it the one at the table, or the one who serves? Isn’t it the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28 You have stood by me during my troubles. 29 And I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom. 30 Then you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

31 “Simon, Simon! Satan has asked to sift all of you disciples like wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon. I have prayed that your faith will not fail. When you have turned back, help your brothers to be strong.”

33 But Simon replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, you will say three times that you don’t know me. And you will do it before the rooster crows today.”

35 Then Jesus asked the disciples, “Did you need anything when I sent you without a purse, bag or sandals?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. 37 It is written, ‘He was counted among those who had committed crimes.’ (Isaiah 53:12) I tell you that what is written about me must come true. Yes, it is already coming true.”

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

“Two swords are enough!” he replied.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives. His disciples followed him. 40 When they reached the place, Jesus spoke. “Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted,” he said to them. 41 Then he went a short distance away from them. There he got down on his knees and prayed. 42 He said, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup of suffering away from me. But do what you want, not what I want.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and gave him strength. 44 Because he was very sad and troubled, he prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45 After that, he got up from prayer and went back to the disciples. He found them sleeping. They were worn out because they were very sad. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up! Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted.”

Jesus Is Arrested

47 While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. The man named Judas was leading them. He was one of the 12 disciples. Judas approached Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you handing over the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen. So they said, “Lord, should we use our swords against them?” 50 One of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, “Stop this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders. They had all come for him. “Am I leading a band of armed men against you?” he asked. “Do you have to come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courtyard. And you didn’t lay a hand on me. But this is your hour. This is when darkness rules.”

Peter Says He Does Not Know Jesus

54 Then the men arrested Jesus and led him away. They took him into the high priest’s house. Peter followed from far away. 55 Some people there started a fire in the middle of the courtyard. Then they sat down together. Peter sat down with them. 56 A female servant saw him sitting there in the firelight. She looked closely at him. Then she said, “This man was with Jesus.”

57 But Peter said he had not been with him. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

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

“No,” Peter replied. “I’m not!”

59 About an hour later, another person spoke up. “This fellow must have been with Jesus,” he said. “He is from Galilee.”

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had spoken to him. “The rooster will crow today,” Jesus had said. “Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” 62 Peter went outside. He broke down and cried.

The Guards Make Fun of Jesus

63 There were men guarding Jesus. They began laughing at him and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him. They said, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 They also said many other things to make fun of him.

Jesus Is Brought to Pilate and Herod

66 At dawn the elders of the people met together. These included the chief priests and the teachers of the law. Jesus was led to 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. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”

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

He replied, “You say that I am.”

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