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 And the Chag HaMatzot was approaching, the feast called Pesach.

And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might destroy him, for they were afraid of the people.

And Hasatan entered into Yehudah, the one being called Yehudah from Kriot, being one of the Shneym Asar.

And having departed, Yehudah spoke with the Rashei Hakohanim and Ketzinim (Officers) of the Beis Hamikdash how he might hand him over to them.

And they got a lot of geshmak out of this, and they agreed to pay him kesef. [ZECHARYAH 11:12]

And Yehudah consented and he was seeking an opportunity to betray him when there was no multitude with them.

Shoin (already) now came the Yom HaMatzot, in which it was necessary to sacrifice the Pesach Korban, the Seh (Lamb, Isa 53:7). [Ex 12:18-20; Dt 16:5 8]

And he sent Kefa and Yochanan, having said, Go and make our preparations that we may eat and have the Pesach Seder.

And they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Where do you wish that we should prepare it?

10 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Hinei. When you enter into HaIr, you will meet a man carrying a jar of mayim. Follow him into the bais (house) into which he enters,

11 And you will say to the Baal Bayit, The Rebbe says to you, Where is the mekom linah (guest room) where I may conduct the Pesach Seder with my talmidim?

12 And that one will show you a large aliyyah having been furnished: there prepare the Seder.

13 And having departed, they found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Seder.

14 And when the hour came, he reclined at tish and the Moshiach’s Shlichim were with him.

15 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With great tshuka (deep and sincere desire, longing) I have desired to eat this Pesach with you before I suffer.

16 For I say to you, I may by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the Malchut Hashem.

17 And having taken the Cup of Redemption, having made the bracha, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Take this, and share it among yourselves.

18 For I say to you, from now on by no means shall I drink from the p’ri hagefen until the Malchut Hashem comes.

19 And having taken the Afikoman and having made the hamotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach broke the matzah and gave it to them, saying, This is my BASAR (SHEMOT 12:8) being given for you: this do in zikaron (remembrance) of me. [Lv 5:7; 6:23; Ezek 43:21; Isa 53:8]

20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the kos (cup) similarly after they ate, saying, This kos (cup) is HaBrit HaChadasha in my dahm, being shed for you. [Ex 24:8; Isa 42:6; Jer 31:31-34; Zech 9:11; 53:10-12]

21 Nevertheless, hinei, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the tish (table) [TEHILLIM 41:9]

22 Because the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) indeed goes according to the thing having been determined: but oy to that man through whom he is betrayed.

23 And they began to discuss among themselves who then it might be among them that would do this.

24 And there came about also a dispute among them, as to which of them seemed to be the Gadol.

25 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The melachim (kings) of the Goyim domineer them and the ones having shlita (control) over the Goyim are called benefactors.

26 But with you it is not so, but he of the Gedolim among you, let him be as the youngest, and he of the Manhigim, as the one serving.

27 For who is HaGadol? The one reclining at tish or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining at tish? But I am in your midst as one serving.

28 But you are the ones having remained with me in my nisyonos (temptations).

29 And I assign shlita (authority) to you, just as Avi assigned shlita to me; a Malchut (Kingdom),

30 That you may eat and drink at my tish in my Malchut, and you will sit upon kissot (thrones) judging the Shneym Asar Shivtei Yisroel (Twelve Tribes of Yisroel).

31 Shimon, Shimon, hinei, Hasatan asked for you, to sift you like wheat [IYOV 1:6-12; AMOS 9:9]

32 But I davened for you, that your emunah may not fail: and when you have made teshuva, give chizzuk to your Achim bMoshiach.

33 But Shimon Kefa said to him, Adoni, with you I am prepared even to go to the beis hasohar, even to die al kiddush ha-Shem.

34 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, I say to you, a tarnegol will not crow hayom until shalosh paamim you, Kefa, will make hakhchashah (denial) of your daas of me.

35 He said to them, When I sent you without a money belt and a bag and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

36 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, But now the one having a money belt, let him take it; likewise also a bag; and the one not having, let him sell his kaftan and let him buy a cherev.

37 For I say to you, that it is necessary that what stands written be fulfilled in me, VES POSHEIM NIMNAH (and with lawless persons he was numbered YESHAYAH 53:12). For indeed what was written about me is being fulfilled.

38 And they said, Adoni, hinei, here are shtei charavot (two swords). And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is enough.

39 And having gone out, he went according to his kvius (regimen) to the Har HaZeytim, and his talmidim followed him also.

40 And having come to the place, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Daven and offer tefillos, lest you enter lidey nisayon (into temptation, Mt.6:13).

41 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and, having fallen down, he was davening,

42 Saying, Avi, im yirtzeh Hashem, if You are willing, take this kos (cup) away from me. Nevertheless not the ratzon of me but rtzonechah (Thy will) be done. (Mt. 6:10)

43 And a malach min HaShomayim appeared to him, strengthening him.

44 And having been in agony, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was davening more fervently; and his sweat became like drops of dahm falling down upon the adamah.

45 And having got up from davening and having come to the talmidim, he found them sleeping, because of agmat nefesh (grief).

46 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why are you sleeping? Get up, daven, lest you enter lidey nisayon (into temptation).

47 Yet as he was speaking, hinei, a multitude! And going at their head was the one being called Yehudah, one of the Shneym Asar, and he drew near to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach to give him a neshikah (kiss).

48 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Yehudah, do you with a neshikah the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) betray?

49 But having seen what was coming, the ones around Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Adoni, should we strike with the cherev (sword)?

50 And a certain one of them struck the eved (servant) of the Rashei Hakohanim and cut off his right ear.

51 And, in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, Blaib shtein! (Stop!) No more of this! And having touched the ear, he healed him.

52 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to the ones having come against him, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Beis Hamikdash shomrim and the Ziknei HaAm, Do you have the chutzpah to come out as against a ganav (thief) with charavot and clubs?

53 Yom Yom (Daily) I was with you in the Beis Hamikdash and you did not stretch out your hands against me, but this is your hour and the shlita of choshech (power of evil, sitra ahra).

54 And having seized Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they led him away and brought him into the bais of the Rashei Hakohanim. And Kefa was following from a distance.

55 And some kindled a hadlakah (bonfire) in the middle of the courtyard, and having sat down together, Kefa was sitting in their midst.

56 And a certain shifcha, seeing him sitting in the light of the hadlakah (bonfire), staring intently at Kefa, said, And this one was with him.

57 But Kefa denied it, saying, I do not have daas of him, isha.

58 And after a short while, another, having seen him, said, And you are of them! But Kefa said, Man, I am not!

59 And about one hour had passed, and still another was insisting, saying, Beemes (in actuality) this one was with him also, for he also is a Gelili (inhabitant of the Galil)!

60 But Kefa said, Ben Adam, I do not have daas what you are saying. And immediately, while Kefa was speaking, a tarnegol crowed.

61 And having turned, Adoneinu looked at Kefa, and Kefa was reminded of the dvar of Moshiach Adoneinu when he said to him, Before the tarnegol crows hayom (today) you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me shalosh paamim.

62 And having gone outside Kefa wept bitterly.

63 And the men, the ones having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in custody, were ridiculing and beating him.

64 And having blindfolded him, they were setting a she’elah in front of him, saying, Give a dvar nevuah, who is the one having given you a klap (blow)?

65 And with much other Chillul Hashem gadfanut they were speaking against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

66 And when boker came, the Ziknei HaAm were gathered together, both the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin,

67 Saying, If you are the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, tell us. But he said to them, If I say this to you, you will by no means have emunah.

68 And if I set a she’elah before you, you will by no means give answer.

69 But from now on the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) will be YOSHEV LIMIN as the gevurat Hashem. (TEHILLIM 110:1)

70 And everyone said, Then you are the Ben HaElohim? Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, You are saying that I am.

71 And to them they said, Why still do we have need of an eidus (witness)? For we ourselves heard from his peh (mouth).
