马太福音 26
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
用计杀主
26 耶稣说完了这一切的话，就对门徒说： 2 “你们知道，过两天是逾越节，人子将要被交给人，钉在十字架上。” 3 那时，祭司长和民间的长老聚集在大祭司称为该亚法的院里。 4 大家商议要用诡计拿住耶稣，杀他， 5 只是说：“当节的日子不可，恐怕民间生乱。”
浇极贵的香膏
6 耶稣在伯大尼长大麻风的西门家里， 7 有一个女人拿着一玉瓶极贵的香膏来，趁耶稣坐席的时候，浇在他的头上。 8 门徒看见就很不喜悦，说：“何用这样的枉费呢？ 9 这香膏可以卖许多钱周济穷人。” 10 耶稣看出他们的意思，就说：“为什么难为这女人呢？她在我身上做的是一件美事。 11 因为常有穷人和你们同在，只是你们不常有我。 12 她将这香膏浇在我身上，是为我安葬做的。 13 我实在告诉你们：普天之下，无论在什么地方传这福音，也要述说这女人所行的，做个纪念。”
犹大卖主
14 当下，十二门徒里有一个称为加略人犹大的，去见祭司长，说： 15 “我把他交给你们，你们愿意给我多少钱？”他们就给了他三十块钱。 16 从那时候，他就找机会要把耶稣交给他们。
预备逾越节的筵席
17 除酵节的第一天，门徒来问耶稣说：“你吃逾越节的筵席，要我们在哪里给你预备？” 18 耶稣说：“你们进城去，到某人那里，对他说：‘夫子说：我的时候快到了，我与门徒要在你家里守逾越节。’” 19 门徒遵着耶稣所吩咐的，就去预备了逾越节的筵席。
20 到了晚上，耶稣和十二个门徒坐席。 21 正吃的时候，耶稣说：“我实在告诉你们：你们中间有一个人要卖我了。” 22 他们就甚忧愁，一个一个地问他说：“主，是我吗？” 23 耶稣回答说：“同我蘸手在盘子里的，就是他要卖我。 24 人子必要去世，正如经上指着他所写的，但卖人子的人有祸了！那人不生在世上倒好。” 25 卖耶稣的犹大问他说：“拉比，是我吗？”耶稣说：“你说的是。”
设立圣餐
26 他们吃的时候，耶稣拿起饼来，祝福，就掰开，递给门徒，说：“你们拿着吃，这是我的身体。” 27 又拿起杯来，祝谢了，递给他们，说：“你们都喝这个， 28 因为这是我立约的血，为多人流出来，使罪得赦。 29 但我告诉你们：从今以后，我不再喝这葡萄汁，直到我在我父的国里同你们喝新的那日子。” 30 他们唱了诗，就出来往橄榄山去。
预言彼得不认主
31 那时，耶稣对他们说：“今夜你们为我的缘故都要跌倒，因为经上记着说：‘我要击打牧人，羊就分散了。’ 32 但我复活以后，要在你们以先往加利利去。” 33 彼得说：“众人虽然为你的缘故跌倒，我却永不跌倒。” 34 耶稣说：“我实在告诉你：今夜鸡叫以先，你要三次不认我。” 35 彼得说：“我就是必须和你同死，也总不能不认你！”众门徒都是这样说。
在客西马尼祷告
36 耶稣同门徒来到一个地方，名叫客西马尼，就对他们说：“你们坐在这里，等我到那边去祷告。” 37 于是带着彼得和西庇太的两个儿子同去，就忧愁起来，极其难过， 38 便对他们说：“我心里甚是忧伤，几乎要死。你们在这里等候，和我一同警醒。” 39 他就稍往前走，俯伏在地，祷告说：“我父啊！倘若可行，求你叫这杯离开我！然而，不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。”
主勉励门徒警醒祷告
40 来到门徒那里，见他们睡着了，就对彼得说：“怎么样，你们不能同我警醒片时吗？ 41 总要警醒祷告，免得入了迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了。” 42 第二次又去祷告说：“我父啊！这杯若不能离开我，必要我喝，就愿你的意旨成全！” 43 又来，见他们睡着了，因为他们的眼睛困倦。 44 耶稣又离开他们去了。第三次祷告，说的话还是与先前一样。 45 于是来到门徒那里，对他们说：“现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧[a]！时候到了，人子被卖在罪人手里了。 46 起来，我们走吧！看哪，卖我的人近了！”
盗卖和捉拿
47 说话之间，那十二个门徒里的犹大来了，并有许多人带着刀棒，从祭司长和民间的长老那里与他同来。 48 那卖耶稣的给了他们一个暗号，说：“我与谁亲嘴，谁就是他。你们可以拿住他。” 49 犹大随即到耶稣跟前，说：“请拉比安！”就与他亲嘴。 50 耶稣对他说：“朋友，你来要做的事就做吧！”于是那些人上前，下手拿住耶稣。
凡动刀的必死于刀下
51 有跟随耶稣的一个人伸手拔出刀来，将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀，削掉了他一个耳朵。 52 耶稣对他说：“收刀入鞘吧！凡动刀的，必死在刀下。 53 你想我不能求我父现在为我差遣十二营多天使来吗？ 54 若是这样，经上所说事情必须如此的话怎么应验呢？” 55 当时，耶稣对众人说：“你们带着刀棒出来拿我，如同拿强盗吗？我天天坐在殿里教训人，你们并没有拿我。 56 但这一切的事成就了，为要应验先知书上的话。”当下，门徒都离开他逃走了。
在公会前受审
57 拿耶稣的人把他带到大祭司该亚法那里去，文士和长老已经在那里聚会。 58 彼得远远地跟着耶稣，直到大祭司的院子，进到里面，就和差役同坐，要看这事到底怎样。 59 祭司长和全公会寻找假见证控告耶稣，要治死他。 60 虽有好些人来作假见证，总得不着实据。末后，有两个人前来说： 61 “这个人曾说：‘我能拆毁神的殿，三日内又建造起来。’” 62 大祭司就站起来，对耶稣说：“你什么都不回答吗？这些人作见证告你的是什么呢？” 63 耶稣却不言语。大祭司对他说：“我指着永生神叫你起誓告诉我们，你是神的儿子基督不是？” 64 耶稣对他说：“你说的是。然而我告诉你们：后来你们要看见人子坐在那权能者的右边，驾着天上的云降临。” 65 大祭司就撕开衣服，说：“他说了僭妄的话！我们何必再用见证人呢？这僭妄的话现在你们都听见了。 66 你们的意见如何？”他们回答说：“他是该死的。” 67 他们就吐唾沫在他脸上，用拳头打他，也有用手掌打他的，说： 68 “基督啊！你是先知，告诉我们打你的是谁？”
彼得三次不认主
69 彼得在外面院子里坐着，有一个使女前来，说：“你素来也是同那加利利人耶稣一伙的。” 70 彼得在众人面前却不承认，说：“我不知道你说的是什么。” 71 既出去，到了门口，又有一个使女看见他，就对那里的人说：“这个人也是同拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的。” 72 彼得又不承认，并且起誓说：“我不认得那个人！” 73 过了不多的时候，旁边站着的人前来，对彼得说：“你真是他们一党的，你的口音把你露出来了。” 74 彼得就发咒起誓地说：“我不认得那个人！”立时，鸡就叫了。 75 彼得想起耶稣所说的话：“鸡叫以先，你要三次不认我。”他就出去痛哭。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
謀害耶穌
26 耶穌講完了這番話後，對門徒說： 2 「你們知道，兩天後就是逾越節，到時人子會被出賣，被釘在十字架上。」 3 那時，祭司長和民間的長老正聚集在大祭司該亞法的府裡， 4 密謀逮捕、殺害耶穌。 5 但他們認為在節日期間不宜下手，因為可能會在百姓中引起騷亂。
耶穌受膏
6 當耶穌在伯大尼患過痲瘋病的西門家裡時， 7 有個女子趁著祂坐席的時候，把一瓶珍貴的香膏倒在祂頭上。
8 門徒看見後，生氣地說：「真浪費， 9 這瓶香膏值不少錢，用來賙濟窮人多好！」
10 耶穌看出他們的心思，便說：「何必為難這女子？她在我身上做的是一件美事。 11 因為你們身邊總會有窮人，可是你們身邊不會總有我。 12 她把香膏澆在我身上是為我的安葬做準備。 13 我實在告訴你們，無論福音傳到世界哪個角落，人們都會傳揚這女人的事蹟，紀念她。」
猶大出賣耶穌
14 後來，十二門徒中的加略人猶大去見祭司長，說： 15 「如果我把耶穌交給你們，你們肯出多少錢？」他們就給了他三十塊銀子。 16 從那時起，猶大就尋找機會出賣耶穌。
最後的晚餐
17 除酵節的第一天，門徒來問耶穌說：「我們該在什麼地方為你準備逾越節的晚餐呢？」
18 耶穌說：「你們進城去，到某人那裡對他說，『老師說祂的時候到了，祂要與門徒在你家中過逾越節。』」 19 門徒照耶穌的吩咐準備了逾越節的晚餐。
20 傍晚，耶穌和十二個門徒吃晚餐。 21 席間，耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，你們中間有一個人要出賣我。」
22 他們都非常憂愁，相繼追問耶穌，說：「主啊，肯定不是我吧？」
23 祂說：「那和我一同在盤子裡蘸餅吃的就是要出賣我的人。 24 人子一定會受害，正如聖經上有關祂的記載，但出賣人子的人有禍了，他還不如不生在這世上！」
25 出賣耶穌的猶大問祂：「老師，是我嗎？」
耶穌說：「你自己說了。」
26 他們吃的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝後掰開分給門徒，說：「拿去吃吧，這是我的身體。」
27 接著又拿起杯來，祝謝後遞給門徒，說：「你們都喝吧， 28 這是我為萬人所流的立約之血，為了使罪得到赦免。 29 我告訴你們，從今天起，一直到我在我父的國與你們共飲新酒的那一天之前，我不會再喝這葡萄酒。」 30 他們唱完詩歌，就出門去了橄欖山。
預言彼得不認主
31 耶穌對門徒說：「今天晚上，你們都要離棄我。因為聖經上說，『我要擊打牧人，羊群將四散。』 32 但我復活後，要先你們一步去加利利。」
33 彼得說：「即使所有的人都離棄你，我也永遠不會離棄你！」
34 耶穌說：「我實在告訴你，今夜雞叫以前，你會三次不認我。」
35 彼得說：「就算要我跟你一起死，我也不會不認你！」其餘的門徒也都這樣說。
在客西馬尼禱告
36 耶穌和門徒到了一個叫客西馬尼的地方，祂對門徒說：「你們坐在這裡，我到那邊去禱告。」 37 祂帶了彼得和西庇太的兩個兒子一起去。祂心裡非常憂傷痛苦， 38 就對他們說：「我心裡非常憂傷，幾乎要死，你們留在這裡跟我一起警醒。」
39 祂稍往前走，俯伏在地上禱告：「我父啊！如果可以，求你撤去此杯。然而，願你的旨意成就，而非我的意願。」
40 耶穌回到三個門徒那裡，見他們都睡著了，就對彼得說：「難道你們不能跟我一同警醒一時嗎？ 41 你們要警醒禱告，免得陷入誘惑。你們的心靈雖然願意，肉體卻很軟弱。」
42 祂第二次去禱告說：「我父啊！如果我非喝此杯不可，願你的旨意成就。」 43 祂回來時見他們又睡著了，因為他們睏得眼皮發沉。 44 耶穌再次離開他們，第三次去禱告，說的是同樣的話。
45 然後，祂回到門徒那裡，對他們說：「你們還在睡覺，還在休息嗎？看啊！時候到了，人子要被出賣，交在罪人手裡了。 46 起來，我們走吧。看，出賣我的人已經來了！」
耶穌被捕
47 耶穌還在說話的時候，十二門徒中的猶大來了，隨行的還有祭司長和民間長老派來的一大群拿著刀棍的人。 48 出賣耶穌的猶大預先和他們定了暗號，說：「我親吻誰，誰就是耶穌，你們把祂抓起來。」 49 猶大隨即走到耶穌跟前，說：「老師，你好。」然後親吻耶穌。
50 耶穌對他說：「朋友，你要做的事，快動手吧。」於是那些人上前，下手捉拿耶穌。 51 耶穌的跟隨者中有人伸手拔出佩刀朝大祭司的奴僕砍去，削掉了他一隻耳朵。
52 耶穌對他說：「收刀入鞘吧！因為動刀的必死在刀下。 53 難道你不知道，我可以請求我父馬上派十二營以上的天使來保護我嗎？ 54 我若這樣做，聖經上有關這事必如此發生的話又怎能應驗呢？」
55 那時，耶穌對眾人說：「你們像對付強盜一樣拿著刀棍來抓我嗎？我天天在聖殿裡教導人，你們並沒有來抓我。 56 不過這一切事的發生，是要應驗先知書上的話。」那時，門徒都丟下祂逃走了。
大祭司審問耶穌
57 捉拿耶穌的人把祂押到大祭司該亞法那裡。律法教師和長老已聚集在那裡。 58 彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌，一直跟到大祭司的院子裡。他坐在衛兵當中，想知道事情的結果。
59 祭司長和全公會的人正在尋找假證據來控告耶穌，好定祂死罪。 60 雖然有很多假證人誣告祂，但都找不到真憑實據。最後有兩個人上前高聲說：
61 「這個人曾經說過，『我能拆毀聖殿，三天內把它重建起來。』」
62 大祭司站起來質問耶穌：「你不回答嗎？這些人作證控告你的是什麼呢？」 63 耶穌還是沉默不語。
大祭司又對祂說：「我奉永活上帝的名命令你起誓告訴我們，你是不是上帝的兒子基督？」
64 耶穌說：「如你所言。但我告訴你們，將來你們要看見人子坐在大能者的右邊，駕著天上的雲降臨。」
65 大祭司撕裂衣服，說：「祂褻瀆了上帝！我們還需要什麼證人呢？你們現在親耳聽見了祂說褻瀆的話， 66 你們看怎麼辦？」
他們回應說：「祂該死！」
67 他們就吐唾沫在祂臉上，揮拳打祂。還有人一邊打祂耳光，一邊說： 68 「基督啊！給我們說預言吧，是誰在打你？」
彼得三次不認主
69 當時，彼得還坐在外面的院子裡，有一個婢女走過來對他說：「你也是跟那個加利利人耶穌一夥的。」
70 彼得卻當眾否認：「我不知道你在說什麼。」
71 正當他走到門口要離開時，另一個婢女看見他，就對旁邊的人說：「這個人是跟拿撒勒人耶穌一夥的！」
72 彼得再次否認，並發誓說：「我不認識那個人。」 73 過了一會兒，旁邊站著的人過來對彼得說：「你肯定也是他們一夥的，聽你的口音就知道了。」
74 彼得又賭咒又發誓，說：「我不認識那個人！」就在這時候，雞叫了。 75 彼得想起耶穌說的話：「在雞叫以前，你會三次不認我。」他就跑出去，失聲痛哭。
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.
