Matthew 26:14-46
King James Version
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)
14 (B)Then one of the twelve, called (C)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, (D)“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples(E)
17 (F)Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, (G)“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
20 (H)When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will (I)betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
23 He answered and said, (J)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (K)as it is written of Him, but (L)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (M)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”
He said to him, “You have said it.”
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(N)
26 (O)And as they were eating, (P)Jesus took bread, [a]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; (Q)this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, (R)“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For (S)this is My blood (T)of the [b]new covenant, which is shed (U)for many for the [c]remission of sins. 29 But (V)I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on (W)until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 (X)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(Y)
31 Then Jesus said to them, (Z)“All of you will (AA)be [d]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
(AB)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, (AC)I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [e]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, (AD)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples.
The Prayer in the Garden(AE)
36 (AF)Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and (AG)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, (AH)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and (AI)prayed, saying, (AJ)“O My Father, if it is possible, (AK)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (AL)not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 (AM)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AN)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [f]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour [g]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being (AO)betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Judas’ Bargain
14 (A)Then one of the twelve, named (B)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me [a]to [b](C)betray Him to you?” And (D)they set out for him thirty [c]pieces of silver. 16 And from then on he looked for a good opportunity to [d]betray [e]Jesus.
17 (E)Now on the first day of [f](F)Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and [g]asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 18 And He said, “Go into the city to (G)a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “(H)My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’” 19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
The Last Passover
20 (I)Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the [h]twelve. 21 And as they were eating, He said, “(J)Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 Being deeply grieved, they began saying to Him, each one: “Surely it is not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered, “(K)He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is going away (L)just as it is written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (M)It would have been good [i]for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And (N)Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, (O)Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “(P)You have said it yourself.”
The Lord’s Supper Instituted
26 (Q)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and [j](R)after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for (S)this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for (T)many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 (U)And after singing a [k]hymn, they went out to (V)the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all [l](W)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘(X)I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be (Y)scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, (Z)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33 But Peter replied to Him, “Even if they all [m]fall away because of You, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “(AA)Truly I say to you that (AB)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35 Peter *said to Him, “(AC)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” All the disciples said the same thing as well.
The Garden of Gethsemane
36 (AD)Then Jesus *came with them to a place called [n](AE)Gethsemane, and *told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took (AF)Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “(AG)My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and (AH)keep watch with Me.”
39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let (AI)this cup pass from Me; (AJ)yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter, “So, you men could not (AK)keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 (AL)Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; (AM)the spirit is [o]willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup (AN)cannot pass away unless I drink from it, (AO)Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “[p]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, (AP)the hour [q]is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(A)
14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot(B)—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.(C) 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper(D)(E)(F)
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(G) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(H)
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(I) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(J)
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(K) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(L) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(M) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(N)
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(O) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup,(P) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant,(Q) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(R) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(S) in my Father’s kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(T)
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(U)
31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(V) for it is written:
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(X)
33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(Y)
35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(Z) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
Gethsemane(AA)
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(AB) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(AC) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(AD)
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(AE) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(AF)
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(AG) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AH) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(AI)
43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour(AJ) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

The Plan to Betray Jesus
14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me to betray him into your hands?”[a] So they set out thirty silver coins for him. 16 From that time[b] on, Judas[c] began looking for an opportunity to betray him.
The Passover
17 Now on the first day of the feast of[d] Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and said,[e] “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”[f] 18 He[g] said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I will observe the Passover with my disciples at your house.”’” 19 So[h] the disciples did as Jesus had instructed them, and they prepared the Passover. 20 When[i] it was evening, he took his place at the table[j] with the twelve.[k] 21 And while they were eating he said, “I tell you the truth,[l] one of you will betray me.”[m] 22 They[n] became greatly distressed[o] and each one began to say to him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 He[p] answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me[q] will betray me. 24 The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born.” 25 Then[r] Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus[s] replied, “You have said it yourself.”
The Lord’s Supper
26 While[t] they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” 27 And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood, the blood[u] of the covenant,[v] that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I[w] tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit[x] of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 30 After[y] singing a hymn,[z] they went out to the Mount of Olives.
The Prediction of Peter’s Denial
31 Then Jesus said to them, “This night you will all fall away because of me, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[aa]
32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33 Peter[ab] said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth,[ac] on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing.
Gethsemane
36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.” 39 Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed,[ad] “My Father, if possible,[ae] let this cup[af] pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He[ag] said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour? 41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 He went away a second time and prayed,[ah] “My Father, if this cup[ai] cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.[aj] 44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is approaching, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer[ak] is approaching!”

- Matthew 26:17 sn This required getting a suitable lamb and finding lodging in Jerusalem where the meal could be eaten. The population of the city swelled during the feast, so lodging could be difficult to find. The Passover was celebrated each year in commemoration of the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt; thus it was a feast celebrating redemption (see Exod 12). The Passover lamb was roasted and eaten after sunset in a family group of at least ten people (m. Pesahim 7.13). People ate the meal while reclining (see the note on table in 26:20). It included, besides the lamb, unleavened bread and bitter herbs as a reminder of Israel’s bitter affliction at the hands of the Egyptians. Four cups of wine mixed with water were also used for the meal. For a further description of the meal and the significance of the wine cups, see E. Ferguson, Backgrounds of Early Christianity, 523-24.

- Matthew 26:20 tc Many witnesses, some of them quite significant, have μαθητῶν (mathētōn, “disciples”; א A L W Δ Θ 33 892 1241 1424 pm lat) or μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ (mathētōn autou, “his disciples”; 0281 it) after δώδεκα (dōdeka, “twelve”). However, such clarifications are typical scribal expansions to the text. Further, the shorter reading (the one that ends with δώδεκα) has strong support in P37vid,45vid B D K Γ ƒ1,13 565 579 700 pm. Thus both internally and externally the reading that ends the verse with “the twelve” is to be preferred.

- Matthew 26:23 sn The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me. The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him—somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.
- Matthew 26:25 tn Grk “answering, Judas.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to reflect the sequence of events in the narrative.

- Matthew 26:26 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- Matthew 26:28 tn Grk “for this is my blood of the covenant that is poured out for many.” In order to avoid confusion about which is poured out, the translation supplies “blood” twice so that the following phrase clearly modifies “blood,” not “covenant.”
- Matthew 26:28 tc Most witnesses, including several significant ones, read καινῆς (kainēs, “new”) here. Homoioteleuton is a possible reason for the omission, since the article, adjective, and noun are all first declension genitive singulars (τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης, tēs kainēs diathēkēs, “the new covenant”), but the likelihood of excellent, early, and sufficiently diverse witnesses all making the same mistake is remote. A much more probable scenario is that the addition of καινῆς was motivated by the parallel in Luke 22:20. It is a natural expansion on the text. Coupled with the fact that the shorter reading is found in such good and diverse witnesses (e.g., P37,45vid א B L Z Θ 0298vid 33 mae), it most likely is the initial text.sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era.
