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).

VI.— LA PASCUA DE JESÚS (22,1—24,49)

El complot contra Jesús (Mt 26,1-5; Mc 14,1-2; Jn 11,45-53)

22 Ya estaba cerca la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura, es decir, de la Pascua, y los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley andaban buscando la manera de matar a Jesús, pues temían al pueblo.

Judas traiciona a Jesús (Mt 26,14-16; Mc 14,10-11)

Entonces Satanás entró en Judas, al que llamaban Iscariote, que era uno de los Doce. Este fue a tratar con los jefes de los sacerdotes y con los oficiales de la guardia del Templo el modo de entregarles a Jesús. Ellos se alegraron y, a cambio, le ofrecieron dinero. Judas aceptó el trato y comenzó a buscar una oportunidad para entregárselo sin que la gente se diera cuenta.

Los discípulos preparan la cena de Pascua (Mt 26,17-19; Mc 14,12-16)

Llegado el día de los Panes sin levadura, cuando debía sacrificarse el cordero de Pascua, Jesús envió a Pedro y a Juan, diciéndoles:

— Vayan a preparar nuestra cena de Pascua.

Le preguntaron:

— ¿Dónde quieres que la preparemos?

10 Jesús les contestó:

— Cuando entren en la ciudad encontrarán a un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua; síganlo hasta la casa donde entre 11 y díganlo al dueño de la casa: “El Maestro dice: ¿Cuál es la estancia donde voy a celebrar la cena de Pascua con mis discípulos?”. 12 Él les mostrará una sala amplia y ya dispuesta en el piso de arriba. Prepárenlo todo allí.

13 Los discípulos fueron y encontraron las cosas como Jesús les había dicho. Y prepararon la cena de Pascua.

La cena del Señor (Mt 26,26-30; Mc 14,22-25; 1 Co 11,23-25)

14 Cuando llegó la hora, Jesús se sentó a la mesa junto con los apóstoles. 15 Entonces les dijo:

— ¡Cuánto he deseado comer esta Pascua con ustedes antes de mi muerte! 16 Porque les digo que no volveré a comerla hasta que tenga su cumplimiento en el reino de Dios.

17 Tomó luego en sus manos una copa, dio gracias a Dios y dijo:

— Tomen esto y repártanlo entre ustedes, 18 porque les digo que ya no beberé más de este fruto de la vid hasta que venga el reino de Dios.

19 Después tomó pan, dio gracias a Dios, lo partió y se lo dio diciendo:

— Esto es mi cuerpo, entregado en favor de ustedes. Hagan esto en recuerdo de mí.

20 Lo mismo hizo con la copa después de haber cenado, diciendo:

— Esta copa es la nueva alianza, confirmada con mi sangre, que va a ser derramada en favor de ustedes. 21 Pero ahora, sobre la mesa y junto a mí, está la mano del que me traiciona. 22 Es cierto que el Hijo del hombre ha de recorrer el camino que le está señalado, pero ¡ay de aquel que lo traiciona!

23 Los discípulos comenzaron entonces a preguntarse unos a otros quién de ellos sería el traidor.

Grandeza del servicio cristiano (Mt 20,25-27; Mc 10,42-44)

24 Surgió también una disputa entre los apóstoles acerca de cuál de ellos era el más importante. 25 Jesús entonces les dijo:

— Los reyes someten las naciones a su dominio, y los que ejercen poder sobre ellas se hacen llamar bienhechores. 26 Pero entre ustedes no debe ser así. Antes bien, el más importante entre ustedes debe ser como el más pequeño, y el que dirige debe ser como el que sirve. 27 Pues ¿quién es más importante, el que se sienta a la mesa o el que sirve? ¿No es, acaso, el que se sienta a la mesa? Sin embargo, yo estoy entre ustedes como el que sirve.

28 Pero ustedes son los que han permanecido a mi lado en mis pruebas. 29 Por eso, yo quiero asignarles un reino, como mi Padre me lo asignó a mí, 30 para que coman y beban en la mesa de mi reino, y se sienten en tronos para juzgar a las doce tribus de Israel.

Jesús predice la negación de Pedro (Mt 26,31-35; Mc 14,27-31; Jn 13,36-38)

31 Y el Señor dijo:

— Simón, Simón, Satanás los ha reclamado a ustedes para zarandearlos como a trigo en la criba; 32 pero yo he pedido por ti, para que no desfallezca tu fe. Y tú, cuando recuperes la confianza, ayuda a tus hermanos a permanecer firmes.

33 Pedro le dijo:

— ¡Señor, estoy dispuesto a ir contigo a la cárcel e incluso a la muerte!

34 Jesús le contestó:

— Pedro, te digo que no cantará hoy el gallo sin que hayas negado tres veces que me conoces.

La hora decisiva

35 Les dijo también Jesús:

— Cuando los envié sin bolsa, sin zurrón y sin sandalias, ¿les faltó acaso algo?

Ellos contestaron:

— Nada.

36 Y continuó diciéndoles:

— Pues ahora, en cambio, el que tenga una bolsa, que la lleve consigo, y que haga lo mismo el que tenga un zurrón; y el que no tenga espada, que venda su manto y la compre. 37 Porque les digo que tiene que cumplirse en mí lo que dicen las Escrituras: Lo incluyeron entre los criminales. Todo lo que se ha escrito de mí, tiene que cumplirse.

38 Ellos dijeron:

— ¡Señor, aquí tenemos dos espadas!

Él les contestó:

— ¡Es bastante!

Jesús ora en Getsemaní (Mt 26,36-46; Mc 14,32-42)

39 Después de esto, Jesús salió y, según tenía por costumbre, se dirigió al monte de los Olivos en compañía de sus discípulos. 40 Cuando llegaron, les dijo:

— Oren para que puedan resistir la prueba.

41 Luego se alejó de ellos como un tiro de piedra, se puso de rodillas y oró:

42 — Padre, si quieres, líbrame de esta copa de amargura; pero no se haga mi voluntad, sino la tuya.

43 [Entonces se le apareció un ángel del cielo para darle fuerzas. 44 Jesús, lleno de angustia, oraba intensamente. Y le caía el sudor al suelo en forma de grandes gotas de sangre].

45 Después de orar, se levantó y se acercó a sus discípulos. Los encontró dormidos, vencidos por la tristeza, 46 y les preguntó:

— ¿Cómo es que duermen? Levántense y oren para que puedan resistir la prueba.

Jesús es arrestado (Mt 26,47-56; Mc 14,43-50; Jn 18,3-12)

47 Todavía estaba hablando Jesús, cuando se presentó un grupo de gente encabezado por el llamado Judas, que era uno de los Doce. Este se acercó a Jesús para besarlo; 48 pero Jesús le dijo:

— Judas, ¿con un beso vas a entregar al Hijo del hombre?

49 Los que acompañaban a Jesús, al ver lo que sucedía, le preguntaron:

— Señor, ¿los atacamos con la espada?

50 Y uno de ellos dio un golpe al criado del sumo sacerdote y le cortó la oreja derecha. 51 Pero Jesús dijo:

— ¡Déjenlo! ¡Basta ya!

En seguida tocó la oreja herida y la curó. 52 Luego dijo a los jefes de los sacerdotes, a los oficiales de la guardia del Templo y a los ancianos que habían salido contra él:

— ¿Por qué han venido a buscarme con espadas y garrotes, como si fuera un ladrón? 53 Todos los días he estado entre ustedes en el Templo, y no me detuvieron. ¡Pero esta es la hora de ustedes, la hora del poder de las tinieblas!

Pedro niega a Jesús (Mt 26,57-58.69-75; Mc 14,53-54; 66-72; Jn 18,15-18.25-27)

54 Apresaron, pues, a Jesús, se lo llevaron y lo introdujeron en la casa del sumo sacerdote. Pedro iba detrás a cierta distancia. 55 En medio del patio de la casa habían encendido fuego, y estaban sentados en torno a él; también Pedro estaba sentado entre ellos. 56 En esto llegó una criada que, viendo a Pedro junto al fuego, se quedó mirándolo fijamente y dijo:

— Este también estaba con él.

57 Pedro lo negó, diciendo:

— Mujer, ni siquiera lo conozco.

58 Poco después lo vio otro, que dijo:

— También tú eres uno de ellos.

Pedro replicó:

— No lo soy, amigo.

59 Como cosa de una hora más tarde, un tercero aseveró:

— Seguro que este estaba con él, pues es galileo.

60 Entonces Pedro exclamó:

— ¡Amigo, no sé qué estás diciendo!

Todavía estaba Pedro hablando, cuando cantó un gallo. 61 En aquel momento, el Señor se volvió y miró a Pedro. Se acordó Pedro de que el Señor le había dicho: “Hoy mismo, antes que cante el gallo, me habrás negado tres veces” 62 y, saliendo, lloró amargamente.

Burlas e insultos contra Jesús (Mt 26,67-68; Mc 14,65)

63 Los hombres que custodiaban a Jesús se burlaban de él y lo golpeaban. 64 Tapándole los ojos, le decían:

— ¡Adivina quien te ha pegado!

65 Y proferían contra él toda clase de insultos.

Jesús ante el Consejo Supremo (Mt 26,59-66; Mc 14,55-64; Jn 18,12-14.19-24)

66 Cuando se hizo de día, se reunieron los ancianos del pueblo, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley, y llevaron a Jesús ante el Consejo Supremo. 67 Allí le preguntaron:

— ¿Eres tú el Mesías? ¡Dínoslo de una vez!

Jesús contestó:

— Aunque se lo diga a ustedes, no me van a creer; 68 y si les hago preguntas, no me van a contestar. 69 Sin embargo, desde ahora mismo, el Hijo del hombre estará sentado junto a Dios todopoderoso.

70 Todos preguntaron:

— ¿Así que tú eres el Hijo de Dios?

Jesús respondió:

— Ustedes lo dicen: yo soy.

71 Entonces ellos dijeron:

— ¿Para qué queremos más testigos? Nosotros mismos lo hemos oído de sus propios labios.

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.”
