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 Es war aber nahe das Fest der süßen Brote, das da Ostern heißt.

Und die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten trachteten, wie sie ihn töteten; und fürchteten sich vor dem Volk.

Es war aber der Satanas gefahren in den Judas, genannt Ischariot, der da war aus der Zahl der Zwölf.

Und er ging hin und redete mit den Hohenpriestern und Hauptleuten, wie er ihn wollte ihnen überantworten.

Und sie wurden froh und gelobten ihm Geld zu geben.

Und er versprach es und suchte Gelegenheit, daß er ihn überantwortete ohne Lärmen.

Es kam nun der Tag der süßen Brote, an welchem man mußte opfern das Osterlamm.

Und er sandte Petrus und Johannes und sprach: Gehet hin, bereitet uns das Osterlamm, auf daß wir's essen.

Sie aber sprachen zu ihm: Wo willst du, daß wir's bereiten?

10 Er sprach zu ihnen: Siehe, wenn ihr hineinkommt in die Stadt, wird euch ein Mensch begegnen, der trägt einen Wasserkrug; folget ihm nach in das Haus, da er hineingeht,

11 und saget zu dem Hausherrn: Der Meister läßt dir sagen: Wo ist die Herberge, darin ich das Osterlamm essen möge mit meinen Jüngern?

12 Und er wird euch einen großen Saal zeigen, der mit Polstern versehen ist; daselbst bereitet es.

13 Sie gingen hin und fanden, wie er ihnen gesagt hatte, und bereiteten das Osterlamm.

14 Und da die Stunde kam, setzte er sich nieder und die zwölf Apostel mit ihm.

15 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Mich hat herzlich verlangt, dies Osterlamm mit euch zu essen, ehe denn ich leide.

16 Denn ich sage euch, daß ich hinfort nicht mehr davon essen werde, bis daß es erfüllet werde im Reich Gottes.

17 Und er nahm den Kelch, dankte und sprach: Nehmet ihn und teilet ihn unter euch;

18 denn ich sage euch: Ich werde nicht trinken von dem Gewächs des Weinstocks, bis das Reich Gottes komme.

19 Und er nahm das Brot, dankte und brach's und gab's ihnen und sprach: Das ist mein Leib, der für euch gegeben wird; das tut zu meinem Gedächtnis.

20 Desgleichen auch den Kelch, nach dem Abendmahl, und sprach: Das ist der Kelch, das neue Testament in meinem Blut, das für euch vergossen wird.

21 Doch siehe, die Hand meines Verräters ist mit mir über Tische.

22 Denn des Menschen Sohn geht zwar hin, wie es beschlossen ist; doch weh dem Menschen, durch welchen er verraten wird!

23 Und sie fingen an, zu fragen unter sich selbst, welcher es doch wäre unter ihnen, der das tun würde.

24 Es erhob sich auch ein Zank unter ihnen, welcher unter ihnen sollte für den Größten gehalten werden.

25 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Die weltlichen Könige herrschen, und die Gewaltigen heißt man gnädige Herren.

26 Ihr aber nicht also! Sondern der Größte unter euch soll sein wie der Jüngste, und der Vornehmste wie ein Diener.

27 Denn welcher ist größer: Der zu Tische sitzt oder der da dient? Ist's nicht also, daß der zu Tische sitzt! Ich aber bin unter euch wie ein Diener.

28 Ihr aber seid's, die ihr beharrt habt bei mir in meinen Anfechtungen.

29 Und ich will euch das Reich bescheiden, wie mir's mein Vater beschieden hat,

30 daß ihr essen und trinken sollt an meinem Tische in meinem Reich und sitzen auf Stühlen und richten die zwölf Geschlechter Israels.

31 Der HERR aber sprach: Simon, Simon, siehe, der Satanas hat euer begehrt, daß er euch möchte sichten wie den Weizen;

32 ich aber habe für dich gebeten, daß dein Glaube nicht aufhöre. Und wenn du dermaleinst dich bekehrst, so stärke deine Brüder.

33 Er sprach aber zu ihm: HERR, ich bin bereit, mit dir ins Gefängnis und in den Tod zu gehen.

34 Er aber sprach: Petrus, ich sage dir: Der Hahn wird heute nicht krähen, ehe denn du dreimal verleugnet hast, daß du mich kennest.

35 Und er sprach zu ihnen: So oft ich euch ausgesandt habe ohne Beutel, ohne Tasche und ohne Schuhe, habt ihr auch je Mangel gehabt? Sie sprachen: Niemals.

36 Da sprach er zu ihnen: Aber nun, wer einen Beutel hat, der nehme ihn, desgleichen auch die Tasche; wer aber nichts hat, verkaufe sein Kleid und kaufe ein Schwert.

37 Denn ich sage euch: Es muß noch das auch vollendet werden an mir, was geschrieben steht: "Er ist unter die Übeltäter gerechnet." Denn was von mir geschrieben ist, das hat ein Ende.

38 Sie sprachen aber: HERR, siehe, hier sind zwei Schwerter. Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Es ist genug.

39 Und er ging hinaus nach seiner Gewohnheit an den Ölberg. Es folgten ihm aber seine Jünger nach an den Ort.

40 Und als er dahin kam, sprach er zu ihnen: Betet, auf daß ihr nicht in Anfechtung fallet!

41 Und er riß sich von ihnen einen Steinwurf weit und kniete nieder, betete

42 und sprach: Vater, willst du, so nehme diesen Kelch von mir, doch nicht mein, sondern dein Wille geschehe!

43 Es erschien ihm aber ein Engel vom Himmel und stärkte ihn.

44 Und es kam, daß er mit dem Tode rang und betete heftiger. Es ward aber sein Schweiß wie Blutstropfen, die fielen auf die Erde.

45 Und er stand auf von dem Gebet und kam zu seinen Jüngern und fand sie schlafen vor Traurigkeit

46 und sprach zu ihnen: Was schlafet ihr? Stehet auf und betet, auf das ihr nicht in Anfechtung fallet!

47 Da er aber noch redete, siehe, da kam die Schar; und einer von den Zwölfen, genannt Judas, ging vor ihnen her und nahte sich zu Jesu, ihn zu küssen.

48 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Judas, verrätst du des Menschen Sohn mit einem Kuß?

49 Da aber sahen, die um ihn waren, was da werden wollte, sprachen sie zu ihm: HERR, sollen wir mit dem Schwert drein schlagen?

50 Und einer aus ihnen schlug des Hohenpriesters Knecht und hieb ihm sein rechtes Ohr ab.

51 Jesus aber antwortete und sprach: Lasset sie doch so machen! Und er rührte sein Ohr an und heilte ihn.

52 Jesus aber sprach zu den Hohenpriestern und Hauptleuten des Tempels und den Ältesten, die über ihn gekommen waren: Ihr seid, wie zu einem Mörder, mit Schwertern und mit Stangen ausgegangen.

53 Ich bin täglich bei euch im Tempel gewesen, und ihr habt keine Hand an mich gelegt; aber dies ist eure Stunde und die Macht der Finsternis.

54 Sie griffen ihn aber und führten ihn hin und brachten ihn in des Hohenpriesters Haus. Petrus aber folgte von ferne.

55 Da zündeten sie ein Feuer an mitten im Hof und setzten sich zusammen; und Petrus setzte sich unter sie.

56 Da sah ihn eine Magd sitzen bei dem Licht und sah genau auf ihn und sprach: Dieser war auch mit ihm.

57 Er aber verleugnete ihn und sprach: Weib, ich kenne ihn nicht.

58 Und über eine kleine Weile sah ihn ein anderer und sprach: Du bist auch deren einer. Petrus aber sprach: Mensch ich bin's nicht.

59 Und über eine Weile, bei einer Stunde, bekräftigte es ein anderer und sprach: Wahrlich dieser war auch mit ihm; denn er ist ein Galiläer.

60 Petrus aber sprach: Mensch, ich weiß nicht, was du sagst. Und alsbald, als er noch redete, krähte der Hahn.

61 Und der HERR wandte sich um und sah Petrus an. Und Petrus gedachte an des HERRN Wort, wie er zu ihm gesagt hatte: Ehe denn der Hahn kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen.

62 Und Petrus ging hinaus und weinte bitterlich.

63 Die Männer aber, die Jesum hielten, verspotteten ihn und schlugen ihn,

64 verdeckten ihn und schlugen ihn ins Angesicht und fragten ihn und sprachen: Weissage, wer ist's, der dich schlug?

65 Und viele andere Lästerungen sagten sie wider ihn.

66 Und als es Tag ward, sammelten sich die Ältesten des Volks, die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten und führten ihn hinauf vor ihren Rat

67 und sprachen: Bist du Christus, sage es uns! Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Sage ich's euch, so glaubt ihr's nicht;

68 frage ich aber, so antwortet ihr nicht und laßt mich doch nicht los.

69 Darum von nun an wird des Menschen Sohn sitzen zur rechten Hand der Kraft Gottes.

70 Da sprachen sie alle: Bist du denn Gottes Sohn? Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Ihr sagt es, denn ich bin's.

71 Sie aber sprachen: Was bedürfen wir weiteres Zeugnis? Wir haben's selbst gehört aus seinem Munde.

22 And the holiday of therf loaves, that is said pask, approached.[a]

And the princes of priests and the scribes sought, how they should slay Jesus, but they dreaded the people.

And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.

And he went, and spake with the princes of priests, and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.

And they joyed, and made covenant to give him money.

And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people. [And he promised, and he sought covenability, that he should betray him, without the companies.]

But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need, that the sacrifice of pask were slain [in which it was need, that pask, that is, the sacrifice of pask, be slain].

And he sent Peter and John, and said [saying], Go ye, and make ready to us the pask, that we eat.

And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make ready?

10 And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; follow ye him into the house, into which he entereth.

11 And ye shall say to the husbandman of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber [Where is the harbourgerie], where I shall eat the pask with my disciples?

12 And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye ready.

13 And they went, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the pask.

14 And when the hour was come, he sat to the meat [he sat to meat], and the twelve apostles with him.

15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer;

16 for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God.

17 And when he had taken the cup, he did graces [he did thankings], and said, Take ye, and part ye among you;

18 for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind of this vine [soothly I say to you, I shall not drink of the generation of this vine], till the realm of God come.

19 And when he had taken bread, he did thankings, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me. [And the bread taken, he did graces, or thankings, and brake, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which shall be given for you; do ye this thing into my commemoration, or into mind of me.]

20 He took also the cup, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you. [Also and the chalice, after that he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.]

21 Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.

22 And [soothly] man's Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.

23 And they began to seek among them[selves], who it was of them, that was to do this thing.

24 And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.

25 But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers, [Forsooth he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords, or lordship, of them, and they that have power upon them be called good doers,]

26 but ye not so; but he that is greatest among you, be made as a younger [be made as the younger], and he that is [a] before-goer, as a servant.

27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle of you [Forsooth I am in the midst of you], as he that ministereth.

28 And ye [it] be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations; [Soothly ye it be that have dwelt with me in my temptations;]

29 and I assign to you, as my Father hath assigned to me, a realm, [and I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a realm,]

30 that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel [deeming the twelve kindreds of Israel].

31 And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked (for) you, that he should riddle you as wheat;

32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted [and thou converted sometime], confirm thy brethren.

33 Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee. [Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, and into prison and into death.]

34 And he said, I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to day, till thou thrice forsake that thou knowest me.

35 And he said to them, When I sent you without satchel, and scrip, and shoes, whether any thing failed to you? And they said, Nothing.

36 Therefore he said to them, But now he that hath a satchel, take also and a scrip; and he that hath none [and he that hath not], sell his coat, and buy a sword.

37 For I say to you, that yet it behooveth that thing [this thing] that is written to be fulfilled in me, And he is areckoned with wicked men; for those things that be of me have an end.

38 And they said, Lord, lo! two swords here. And he said to them, It is enough.

39 And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives [And he gone out, went by custom into the hill of Olives]; and the disciples followed him.

40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.

41 And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone's cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,

42 and said [saying], Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine [nevertheless not my will, but thine be done].

43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him [comforting him].

44 And he was made in agony, and prayed the longer [And he made in agony, either anguish, prayed longer]; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.

45 And when he was risen from prayer [And when he had risen from prayer], and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.

46 And he said to them, What sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye [Rise ye, and pray], that ye enter not into temptation.

47 Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came [nigh] to Jesus, to kiss him.

48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou man's Son with a kiss?

49 And they that were about him, and saw that that was to come, said to him, Lord, whether we smite with sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, and said, Suffer ye till hither. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52 And Jesus said to them, that came to him, the princes of priests, and magistrates of the temple [and magistrates, or masters, of the temple], and elder men, As to a thief ye have gone out with swords and staves?

53 When I was each day with you in the temple, ye stretched not out [the] hands into me; but this is your hour, and the power of darknesses.

54 And they took him, and led to the house of the prince of priests; and Peter followed him afar.

55 And when a fire was kindled in the middle of the great house, and they sat about, Peter was in the middle of them.

56 Whom when a damsel had seen sitting at the light[b], and had beheld him, she said, And this was with him.

57 And he denied him, and said [saying], Woman, I know him not.

58 And after a little another man saw him, and said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, A! man, I am not.

59 And when a space was made as of one hour, [soothly] another affirmed, and said [saying], Truly this was with him; for also he is of Galilee.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once [And anon] yet while he spake, the cock crew.

61 And the Lord turned again [And the Lord turned], and beheld Peter; and Peter had mind of the word of Jesus, as he had said, Before that the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

63 And the men that held him scorned him, and smote him.

64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face, and asked him, and said, Declare, thou Christ, to us, who is he that smote thee? [And they veiled him, and smote his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy thou, who is it that smote thee?]

65 Also they blaspheming said against him many other things. [Also they blaspheming said many other things against him.]

66 And as the day was come, the elder men of the people, and the princes of priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, and said [saying],

67 If thou art Christ, say to us. And he said to them, If I say to you, ye will not believe to me;

68 and if I ask, ye will not answer to me, neither ye will deliver me. [soothly and if I shall ask, ye shall not answer to me, neither ye shall let go.]

69 But after this time man's Son shall be sitting on the right half of the virtue of God.

70 Therefore all said, Then art thou the Son of God? And he said, Ye say that I am.

71 And they said, What yet desire we witnessing? for we ourselves have heard of his mouth.

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.”

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.
