马太福音 26
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
阴谋杀害耶稣
26 当耶稣讲完了这一切话,就对自己的门徒们说: 2 “你们知道,过两天就是逾越节,人子要被交出去钉上十字架。”
3 那时,祭司长们[a]和民间的长老们聚集在叫该亚法的大祭司的宅院里, 4 商议要用诡计拘捕耶稣,把他杀掉。 5 不过他们说:“不可在节日期间,免得民中发生骚乱。”
在伯大尼被膏抹
6 耶稣在伯大尼,在麻风病人西门家里的时候, 7 有一个女人拿着一个盛了极其贵重香液的玉瓶上前来,在耶稣坐席的时候,把香液浇在他的头上。 8 门徒们看见了就很不满,说:“为什么这样浪费? 9 这香液[b]本来可以卖很多钱,分给穷人。”
10 耶稣知道了,就对他们说:“你们为什么为难这妇人呢?她为我做了一件美好的事。 11 要知道,你们总是有穷人与你们在一起,但你们不总是有我。 12 她把这香液浇在我身上,是为了预备安葬我而做的。 13 我确实地告诉你们:在全世界,福音无论传到什么地方,这女人所做的事也将被述说,做为对她的记念。”
14 那时候,十二使徒[c]中的一个,就是那称为加略人犹大的,到祭司长们那里去, 15 说:“如果我把他交给你们,你们愿意给我什么?”他们就约定给他三十个银钱。 16 从那时候起,犹大就开始找机会要把耶稣交出去。
在逾越节被出卖
17 除酵节的第一日,门徒们前来问耶稣:“你要我们到哪里去预备,好让你吃逾越节的晚餐呢?”
18 耶稣说:“你们进城去,到某人那里,告诉他:‘老师说,我的时候快到了。我要在你那里与我的门徒们一起守逾越节。’” 19 门徒们就依照耶稣所吩咐的去做,预备了逾越节的晚餐。 20 到了晚上,耶稣与十二使徒一同坐席。 21 在他们吃的时候,耶稣说:“我确实地告诉你们:你们当中有一个人要出卖我。”
22 他们极其忧伤,就一个一个地开始问耶稣:“主啊,不会是我吧?”
23 耶稣回答说:“那与我一同把手蘸在盘子里的,就是要出卖我的人。 24 人子确实要离去,正如经上指着他所写的,但是出卖人子的那个人有祸了。对他来说,没有出生倒好。”
25 那出卖耶稣的犹大应声说:“拉比,不会是我吧?”
耶稣对他说:“你已经说了。”
第一次圣餐
26 在他们吃的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝福了,就掰开,递给门徒们,说:“你们领受吃吧,这是我的身体。” 27 接着,他拿起杯来,祝谢了,递给他们,说:“你们都来喝, 28 因为这是我的血,是为立约[d]的,为许多人所流的,使罪得赦免。 29 我告诉你们:从今以后我绝不喝这葡萄汁[e],直到我在我父的国里与你们一起喝新的那一天。” 30 他们唱了赞美诗[f],就出来,往橄榄山去了。
预言彼得不认主
31 那时,耶稣对他们说:“今天晚上,你们都将因我被绊倒,因为经上记着:
‘我将击打牧人,
群羊就被分散。’[g]
32 但是我复活以后,要在你们之前到加利利去。”
33 彼得对耶稣说:“即使所有的人因你被绊倒,我也绝不会被绊倒。”
34 耶稣对他说:“我确实地告诉你:今天晚上鸡叫以前,你会三次不认我。”
35 彼得对耶稣说:“即使我必须与你同死,我也绝不会不认你。”所有的门徒也都如此说。
园中的祷告
36 随后,耶稣与他们来到一个叫客西马尼的地方。耶稣对门徒们说:“我走开在那里祷告的时候,你们坐在这里。” 37 他带了彼得和西庇太的两个儿子一起去,开始感到忧虑,极其难过, 38 就对他们说:“我的灵魂很忧伤,几乎要死。你们留在这里,与我一同警醒。” 39 耶稣稍往前走,把脸伏在地上祷告说:“我父啊,如果有可能,让这杯离开我吧!但不要照我的意愿,而要照你的意愿。”
40 耶稣回到门徒们那里,看见他们睡着了,就对彼得说:“你们怎么就不能与我一同警醒一个小时呢? 41 要警醒祷告,免得陷入试探。你们心灵虽然愿意,肉体却是软弱的。”
42 耶稣第二次又去祷告说:“我父啊,如果这杯不能离开我[h],一定要我喝下,那就愿你的旨意成就!” 43 他又回来,看见他们在睡觉,因为他们的眼皮发沉。
44 耶稣又离开他们,第三次去祷告,又说了同样的话。 45 然后,他回到门徒们那里,对他们说:“你们还在睡觉、休息吗?看哪,时候快到了!人子被交在[i]罪人的手里了。 46 起来,我们走吧!看,那出卖我的人快到了!”
犹大亲吻的暗号
47 耶稣还在说话的时候,忽然十二使徒之一的犹大来了。有一大群人拿着刀剑和棍棒与他一起来,他们是祭司长们和民间的长老们所派来的。 48 那出卖耶稣的人已经和他们定了一个暗号,说:“我如果亲吻谁,谁就是那个人。你们把他抓住。” 49 犹大立刻上前来对耶稣说:“拉比,愿你欢喜!”然后亲吻了他。
50 耶稣对他说:“朋友,你为什么来到这里?”
于是,那些人上前来,下手拘捕了耶稣。 51 这时候,忽然有一个与耶稣在一起的人伸手拔出刀来,向大祭司的奴仆砍去,削掉了他的一个耳朵。
52 耶稣就对他说:“把你的刀收回原处!因为凡动刀的,必死在刀下。 53 难道你想我不能求我父,现在就为我派来十二个军团以上的天使吗? 54 如果这样,‘事情必须如此发生’的经文怎么应验呢?”
55 这时候,耶稣对那群人说:“你们带着刀剑和棍棒出来抓我,就像对付强盗那样吗?我天天坐在圣殿里教导人,你们并没有抓我。 56 不过这整个事的发生,是为要应验先知书的那些经文。”这时候,所有的门徒都离开他,逃跑了。
在议员面前受审
57 拘捕耶稣的人把他带到大祭司该亚法那里。经文士们和长老们已经聚集在那里了。 58 彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直到大祭司的院子。他进到里面,与差役们坐在一起,想看看结果如何。
59 当时,祭司长们[j]和全议会的人为了要处死耶稣,都在寻找伪证来控告他。 60 虽然有许多假见证人上前来,可是他们找不出什么。后来有两个人[k]上前来, 61 说:“这个人说过:‘我能拆毁神的圣所,三天内又建起来。’”
62 于是大祭司就站起来,问耶稣:“对这些人控告你的事,你什么都不回应吗?” 63 耶稣却沉默不语。大祭司又对他说:“我命令你指着永生的神起誓,告诉我们你是不是基督——神的儿子?”
64 耶稣回答他,说:“你已经说了。不过我告诉你们:将来你们会看见人子坐在全能者的右边,在天上的云彩中来临。[l]”
65 大祭司就撕裂自己的衣服,说:“他说了亵渎的话!难道我们还需要什么见证人吗?看,现在你们都听见了这亵渎的话。 66 你们怎么看?”
他们回答说:“他是该死的!” 67 当时他们就往他脸上吐唾沫,用拳头打他,也有人用手掌打他, 68 说:“给我们说预言吧!基督!打你的是谁?”
彼得不认主
69 彼得坐在外面的院子里,有一个女仆过来对他说:“你也与那个加利利人耶稣是一伙的。”
70 彼得却在众人面前否认说:“我不知道你在说什么。”
71 他出去到门口,另有一个女仆看见他,对那里的人说:“这个人与拿撒勒人耶稣是一伙的。”
72 彼得又起誓否认说:“我不认识那个人!”
73 过了一会儿,旁边站着的人过来对彼得说:“你真的也是与他们一伙的,因为连你的口音也把你暴露了。”
74 彼得就开始赌咒并起誓说:“我不认识那个人!”立时,鸡就叫了。 75 彼得想起耶稣说过的话:“鸡叫以前,你会三次不认我”,就到外面去,痛哭起来。

Matthew 26
King James Version
26 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
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.
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Matthew 26
New King James Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 (B)“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 (C)Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and (D)plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the (E)people.”
The Anointing at Bethany(F)
6 And when Jesus was in (G)Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 (H)But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 (I)For you have the poor with you always, but (J)Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My (K)burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(L)
14 (M)Then one of the twelve, called (N)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, (O)“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(P)
17 (Q)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, (R)“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 (S)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 (T)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, (U)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (V)as it is written of Him, but (W)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (X)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(Y)
26 (Z)And as they were eating, (AA)Jesus took bread, [c]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; (AB)this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, (AC)“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For (AD)this is My blood (AE)of the [d]new covenant, which is shed (AF)for many for the [e]remission of sins. 29 But (AG)I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on (AH)until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 (AI)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AJ)
31 Then Jesus said to them, (AK)“All of you will (AL)be [f]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
(AM)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, (AN)I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [g]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, (AO)“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(AP)
36 (AQ)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 (AR)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, (AS)“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 (AT)prayed, saying, (AU)“O My Father, if it is possible, (AV)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (AW)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 (AX)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AY)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [h]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 [i]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being (AZ)betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(BA)
47 And (BB)while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” (BC)and kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, (BD)“Friend, why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, (BE)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, (BF)for all who take the sword will [j]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with (BG)more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, (BH)that it must happen thus?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the (BI)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then (BJ)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BK)
57 (BL)And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58 But (BM)Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, [k]the elders, and all the council sought (BN)false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 [l]but found none. Even though (BO)many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last (BP)two [m]false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This fellow said, (BQ)‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
62 (BR)And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But (BS)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, (BT)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, (BU)hereafter you will see the Son of Man (BV)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 (BW)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His (BX)blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”
They answered and said, (BY)“He is deserving of death.”
67 (BZ)Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and (CA)others struck Him with [n]the palms of their hands, 68 saying, (CB)“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(CC)
69 (CD)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (CE)speech betrays you.”
74 Then (CF)he began to [o]curse and [p]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (CG)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.
