Judas Becomes an Enemy of Jesus

22 It was almost time for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover Feast. The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to kill Jesus, because they were afraid of the people.

Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles. Judas went to the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple and talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them. They were pleased and agreed to give Judas money. He agreed and watched for the best time to hand Jesus over to them when he was away from the crowd.

Jesus Eats the Passover Meal

The Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lambs had to be sacrificed. Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat.”

They asked, “Where do you want us to prepare it?” 10 Jesus said to them, “After you go into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters, 11 and tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover meal with my followers?”’ 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Prepare the Passover meal there.”

13 So Peter and John left and found everything as Jesus had said. And they prepared the Passover meal.

The Lord’s Supper

14 When the time came, Jesus and the apostles were sitting at the table. 15 He said to them, “I wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer. 16 I will not eat another Passover meal until it is given its true meaning in the kingdom of God.”

17 Then Jesus took a cup, gave thanks, and said, “Take this cup and share it among yourselves. 18 I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine[a] until God’s kingdom comes.”

19 Then Jesus took some bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to the apostles, saying, “This is my body,[b] which I am giving for you. Do this to remember me.” 20 In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement that God makes with his people. This new agreement begins with my blood which is poured out for you.

Who Will Turn Against Jesus?

21 “But one of you will turn against me, and his hand is with mine on the table. 22 What God has planned for the Son of Man will happen, but how terrible it will be for that one who turns against the Son of Man.”

23 Then the apostles asked each other which one of them would do that.

Be Like a Servant

24 The apostles also began to argue about which one of them was the most important. 25 But Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jewish people rule over them, and those who have authority over others like to be called ‘friends of the people.’ 26 But you must not be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the leader should be like the servant. 27 Who is more important: the one sitting at the table or the one serving? You think the one at the table is more important, but I am like a servant among you.

28 “You have stayed with me through my struggles. 29 Just as my Father has given me a kingdom, I also give you a kingdom 30 so you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Don’t Lose Your Faith!

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to test all of you as a farmer sifts his wheat. 32 I have prayed that you will not lose your faith! Help your brothers be stronger when you come back to me.”

33 But Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and even to die with you!”

34 But Jesus said, “Peter, before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”

Be Ready for Trouble

35 Then Jesus said to the apostles, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag, or sandals, did you need anything?”

They said, “No.”

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse or a bag, carry that with you. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. 37 The Scripture says, ‘He was treated like a criminal,’[c] and I tell you this scripture must have its full meaning. It was written about me, and it is happening now.”

38 His followers said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.”

He said to them, “That is enough.”

Jesus Prays Alone

39 Jesus left the city and went to the Mount of Olives, as he often did, and his followers went with him. 40 When he reached the place, he said to them, “Pray for strength against temptation.”

41 Then Jesus went about a stone’s throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take away this cup[d] of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him to strengthen him. 44 Being full of pain, Jesus prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he finished praying, he went to his followers and found them asleep because of their sadness. 46 Jesus said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray for strength against temptation.”

Jesus Is Arrested

47 While Jesus was speaking, a crowd came up, and Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus so he could kiss him.

48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you using the kiss to give the Son of Man to his enemies?”

49 When those who were standing around him saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike them with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 Jesus said, “Stop! No more of this.” Then he touched the servant’s ear and healed him.

52 Those who came to arrest Jesus were the leading priests, the soldiers who guarded the Temple, and the elders. Jesus said to them, “You came out here with swords and clubs as though I were a criminal. 53 I was with you every day in the Temple, and you didn’t arrest me there. But this is your time—the time when darkness rules.”

Peter Says He Doesn’t Know Jesus

54 They arrested Jesus, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed far behind them. 55 After the soldiers started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat together, Peter sat with them. 56 A servant girl saw Peter sitting there in the firelight, and looking closely at him, she said, “This man was also with him.”

57 But Peter said this was not true; he said, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

58 A short time later, another person saw Peter and said, “You are also one of them.”

But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with him, because he is from Galilee, too.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!”

At once, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered what the Lord had said: “Before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” 62 Then Peter went outside and cried painfully.

The People Make Fun of Jesus

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began making fun of him and beating him.

64 They blindfolded him and said, “Prove that you are a prophet, and tell us who hit you.” 65 They said many cruel things to Jesus.

Jesus Before the Leaders

66 When day came, the council of the elders of the people, both the leading priests and the teachers of the law, came together and led Jesus to their highest court. 67 They said, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”

Jesus said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe me. 68 And if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the powerful God.”

70 They all said, “Then are you the Son of God?”

Jesus said to them, “You say that I am.”

71 They said, “Why do we need witnesses now? We ourselves heard him say this.”

用計殺主

22 除酵節——又叫逾越節——近了。 祭司長和文士想法子怎麼才能殺害耶穌,是因他們懼怕百姓。

猶大賣主

這時,撒旦入了那稱為加略猶大的心,他本是十二門徒裡的一個。 他去和祭司長並守殿官商量,怎麼可以把耶穌交給他們。 他們歡喜,就約定給他銀子。 他應允了,就找機會,要趁眾人不在跟前的時候把耶穌交給他們。

預備逾越節的筵席

除酵節,須宰逾越羊羔的那一天到了。 耶穌打發彼得約翰說:「你們去為我們預備逾越節的筵席,好叫我們吃。」 他們問他說:「要我們在哪裡預備?」 10 耶穌說:「你們進了城,必有人拿著一瓶水迎面而來,你們就跟著他,到他所進的房子裡去, 11 對那家的主人說:『夫子說:客房在哪裡?我與門徒好在那裡吃逾越節的筵席。』 12 他必指給你們擺設整齊的一間大樓,你們就在那裡預備。」 13 他們去了,所遇見的正如耶穌所說的,他們就預備了逾越節的筵席。

設立聖餐

14 時候到了,耶穌坐席,使徒也和他同坐。 15 耶穌對他們說:「我很願意在受害以先和你們吃這逾越節的筵席。 16 我告訴你們,我不再吃這筵席,直到成就在神的國裡。」 17 耶穌接過杯來,祝謝了,說:「你們拿這個,大家分著喝。 18 我告訴你們,從今以後,我不再喝這葡萄汁,直等神的國來到。」 19 又拿起餅來,祝謝了,就掰開,遞給他們,說:「這是我的身體,為你們捨的。你們也應當如此行,為的是記念我。」 20 飯後也照樣拿起杯來,說:「這杯是用我血所立的新約,是為你們流出來的。 21 看哪,那賣我之人的手與我一同在桌子上! 22 人子固然要照所預定的去世,但賣人子的人有禍了!」 23 他們就彼此對問,是哪一個要做這事。

爭論誰為大

24 門徒起了爭論:他們中間哪一個可算為大。 25 耶穌說:「外邦人有君王為主治理他們,那掌權管他們的稱為恩主。 26 但你們不可這樣,你們裡頭為大的,倒要像年幼的;為首領的,倒要像服侍人的。 27 是誰為大?是坐席的呢,是服侍人的呢?不是坐席的大嗎?然而,我在你們中間如同服侍人的。 28 我在磨煉之中,常和我同在的就是你們。 29 我將國賜給你們,正如我父賜給我一樣, 30 叫你們在我國裡坐在我的席上吃喝,並且坐在寶座上審判以色列十二個支派。」

預言彼得不認主

31 主又說:西門西門撒旦想要得著你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣。 32 但我已經為你祈求,叫你不至於失了信心。你回頭以後,要堅固你的弟兄。」 33 彼得說:「主啊,我就是同你下監,同你受死,也是甘心!」 34 耶穌說:彼得,我告訴你:今日雞還沒有叫,你要三次說不認得我。」

35 耶穌又對他們說:「我差你們出去的時候,沒有錢囊、沒有口袋、沒有鞋,你們缺少什麼沒有?」他們說:「沒有。」 36 耶穌說:「但如今有錢囊的可以帶著,有口袋的也可以帶著,沒有刀的要賣衣服買刀。 37 我告訴你們,經上寫著說『他被列在罪犯之中』,這話必應驗在我身上,因為那關係我的事必然成就。」 38 他們說:「主啊,請看,這裡有兩把刀!」耶穌說:「夠了。」

在客西馬尼禱告

39 耶穌出來,照常往橄欖山去,門徒也跟隨他。 40 到了那地方,就對他們說:「你們要禱告,免得入了迷惑。」 41 於是離開他們約有扔一塊石頭那麼遠,跪下禱告, 42 說:「父啊!你若願意,就把這杯撤去!然而,不要成就我的意思,只要成就你的意思。」 43 有一位天使從天上顯現,加添他的力量。 44 耶穌極其傷痛,禱告更加懇切,汗珠如大血點滴在地上。

主勉勵門徒警醒禱告

45 禱告完了,就起來,到門徒那裡,見他們因為憂愁都睡著了, 46 就對他們說:「你們為什麼睡覺呢?起來禱告,免得入了迷惑。」

盜賣和捉拿

47 說話之間,來了許多人。那十二個門徒裡名叫猶大的走在前頭,就近耶穌,要與他親嘴。 48 耶穌對他說:猶大,你用親嘴的暗號賣人子嗎?」 49 左右的人見光景不好,就說:「主啊,我們拿刀砍可以不可以?」 50 內中有一個人把大祭司的僕人砍了一刀,削掉了他的右耳。 51 耶穌說:「到了這個地步,由他們吧!」就摸那人的耳朵,把他治好了。 52 耶穌對那些來拿他的祭司長和守殿官並長老說:「你們帶著刀棒出來拿我,如同拿強盜嗎? 53 我天天同你們在殿裡,你們不下手拿我。現在卻是你們的時候,黑暗掌權了。」

彼得三次不認主

54 他們拿住耶穌,把他帶到大祭司的宅裡。彼得遠遠地跟著。 55 他們在院子裡生了火,一同坐著,彼得也坐在他們中間。 56 有一個使女看見彼得坐在火光裡,就定睛看他,說:「這個人素來也是同那人一夥的。」 57 彼得卻不承認,說:「女子,我不認得他。」 58 過了不多的時候,又有一個人看見他,說:「你也是他們一黨的。」彼得說:「你這個人!我不是。」 59 約過了一小時,又有一個人極力地說:「他實在是同那人一夥的,因為他也是加利利人。」 60 彼得說:「你這個人!我不曉得你說的是什麼!」正說話之間,雞就叫了。 61 主轉過身來看彼得彼得便想起主對他所說的話:「今日雞叫以先,你要三次不認我。」 62 他就出去痛哭。

戲弄耶穌

63 看守耶穌的人戲弄他,打他, 64 又蒙著他的眼,問他說:「你是先知,告訴我們打你的是誰?」 65 他們還用許多別的話辱罵他。

在公會前受審

66 天一亮,民間的眾長老連祭司長帶文士都聚會,把耶穌帶到他們的公會裡, 67 說:「你若是基督,就告訴我們。」耶穌說:「我若告訴你們,你們也不信; 68 我若問你們,你們也不回答。 69 從今以後,人子要坐在神權能的右邊。」 70 他們都說:「這樣,你是神的兒子嗎?」耶穌說:「你們所說的是。」 71 他們說:「何必再用見證呢?他親口所說的,我們都親自聽見了。」

Planer på att döda Jesus

(Matt 26:2-5; Mark 14:1-2; Joh 11:45-53)

22 Nu närmade sig det osyrade brödets högtid som kallas påsk[a]. Översteprästerna och de skriftlärda sökte fortfarande efter ett sätt att bli av med Jesus. De var nämligen rädda för folket.

Judas beslutar att förråda Jesus

(Matt 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11)

Då for Satan in i Judas, som kallades Iskariot och som var en av de tolv. Judas gick till översteprästerna och officerarna vid tempelvakten för att diskutera med dem hur han skulle kunna förråda Jesus. De blev mycket glada och erbjöd honom pengar, som han genast accepterade. Sedan sökte han efter ett tillfälle att utan folkets vetskap förråda Jesus.

Lärjungarna förbereder påskmåltiden

(Matt 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16)

Så kom det osyrade brödets högtidsdag[b] då påsklammet skulle slaktas. Då skickade Jesus iväg Petrus och Johannes och sa: ”Gå och gör i ordning påskmåltiden, så att vi kan äta tillsammans.”

”Var vill du att vi ska göra det någonstans?” frågade de.

10 Han svarade: ”När ni kommer in i staden, kommer ni att möta en man som bär på en vattenkruka. Följ efter honom till det hus som han går in i 11 och säg till mannen som äger huset: ’Vår Mästare säger: Var är salen där jag kan äta påskmåltiden med mina lärjungar?’ 12 Han kommer då att ta med er en trappa upp till ett stort rum som redan är förberett. Gör i ordning måltiden där.”

13 Då gick de iväg och fann att allt var precis som Jesus hade sagt, och de ordnade med påskmåltiden.

Jesus och hans lärjungar äter den sista måltiden

(Matt 26:20-29; Mark 14:17-25; 1 Kor 11:23-25)

14 När det sedan var dags, slog sig Jesus och hans tolv apostlar ner vid bordet.

15 Och han sa till dem: ”Jag har längtat så mycket efter att få äta den här påskmåltiden med er innan mitt lidande börjar. 16 För jag säger er nu att jag inte kommer att äta den igen förrän den får sin fullkomning i Guds rike.”

17 Sedan tog han en bägare, tackade Gud och sa: ”Ta det här och dela det mellan er. 18 Jag säger er att från och med nu ska jag inte dricka av det som vinstocken ger, förrän Guds rike har kommit.”

19 Efter det tog han ett bröd, tackade Gud, bröt det och gav det till dem och sa: ”Detta är min kropp som ska offras för er. Gör detta till minne av mig!”

20 Efter måltiden tog han på samma sätt bägaren och sa: ”Denna bägare är det nya förbundet genom mitt blod som utgjuts för er. 21 Men här vid bordet med mig finns hans hand som kommer att förråda mig.[c] 22 För Människosonen går bort, som det är bestämt, men ve den människa som förråder honom!”

23 Då började de fråga varandra vem som skulle kunna göra något sådant.

Vem är störst?

(Matt 20:25-28; 19:28; Mark 10:42-45)

24 Sedan började de diskutera med varandra vem av dem som kunde anses vara den störste.

25 Då sa han till dem: ”I den här världen uppträder kungarna som herrar över sina folk, och makthavare kallar sig folkets välgörare. 26 Men så får det inte vara bland er. Den störste av er ska vara som den yngste, och den som vill vara ledare ska vara de andras tjänare. 27 Vem är störst, den som äter vid bordet eller den som tjänar vid bordet? Är det inte den som äter vid bordet? Men jag är här hos er som en tjänare. 28 Ni är de som har stannat kvar hos mig under mina prövningar. 29 Samma kungliga makt som jag har fått av min Fader i himlen överlämnar jag åt er. 30 Och då ska ni få äta och dricka vid mitt bord i mitt rike, och ni ska få sitta på troner och döma Israels tolv stammar.

Jesus förutsäger att Petrus ska svika honom

(Matt 26:33-35; Mark 14:29-31; Joh 13:37-38)

31 Simon, Simon, Satan har begärt att få sålla er som vete. 32 Men jag har bett för dig att du inte helt ska tappa tron. Och när du en gång har vänt om, styrk då dina bröder.”

33 Simon sa: ”Herre, jag är beredd att både gå i fängelse och dö för dig!”

34 Men Jesus sa: ”Petrus, jag säger dig att innan tuppen hinner gala i natt, kommer du tre gånger att ha förnekat att du ens känner mig.”

35 Sedan frågade Jesus dem: ”När jag sände ut er, och ni varken hade börs, väska eller skor med er, saknade ni något då?”

”Nej, ingenting”, svarade de.

36 ”Men nu”, sa han, ”ska den som har börs ta med sig den, och likaså väska. Och om någon inte har något svärd, ska han sälja sin mantel och köpa ett.[d] 37 För jag säger er att de här orden i Skriften ska gå i uppfyllelse genom mig: ’Han räknades som en syndare’[e]. Ja, allt som har förutsagts om mig ska nu slutföras.”

38 ”Herre”, svarade de, ”vi har två svärd.”

”Det räcker”, sa Jesus.

Jesus ber i Getsemane

(Matt 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42)

39 Jesus lämnade sedan staden tillsammans med sina lärjungar och gick som vanligt till Olivberget. 40 Där sa han till dem: ”Be att ni inte faller för frestelsen!”

41 Själv gick han ett stenkast längre bort och föll på knä och bad: 42 ”Fader, om du vill, låt mig slippa denna bägare! Men låt det bli som du vill, inte som jag vill.”

43 Då visade sig en ängel från himlen och gav honom kraft. 44 Men i sin ångest bad han allt intensivare, så hans svett föll som blodsdroppar till marken. 45 Till slut reste han sig och gick tillbaka till sina lärjungar och såg att de hade somnat, utmattade av sorg. 46 Då sa han till dem: ”Hur kan ni sova nu! Stå upp och be att ni inte faller för frestelsen!”

Jesus blir förrådd och arresterad

(Matt 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-50; Joh 18:3-11)

47 Medan Jesus fortfarande talade kom en folkhop dit ledd av honom som hette Judas, en av de tolv. Judas gick fram till Jesus för att ge honom en hälsningskyss. 48 Men Jesus sa: ”Judas, förråder du Människosonen med en kyss?”

49 När de som var med Jesus såg vad som höll på att hända, frågade de: ”Herre, ska vi slå till med våra svärd?” 50 Och en av dem slog till översteprästens tjänare och högg av honom högra örat.

51 Men Jesus sa: ”Inget mer våld!” Och så rörde han vid mannens öra och helade honom.

52 Sedan sa Jesus till de överstepräster och officerare vid tempelvakten och folkets ledare som hade kommit dit för att gripa honom: ”Som med en farlig brottsling har ni kommit med svärd och klubbor för att gripa mig! 53 Dag efter dag var jag tillsammans med er i templet utan att ni rörde mig. Men nu är det dags för er att handla, nu har mörkret makten.”

Petrus förnekar att han känner Jesus

(Matt 26:67-75; Mark 14:66-72; Joh 18:15-18; 18:25-27)

54 Då grep de Jesus och ledde honom till översteprästens hus, och Petrus följde med på avstånd.

55 Inne på gården gjorde de upp en eld och satte sig runt den, och Petrus slog sig ner mitt ibland dem.

56 En tjänsteflicka lade då märke till honom i eldskenet och började titta närmare på honom. Sedan sa hon: ”Den där mannen var också tillsammans med honom!”

57 Men Petrus nekade och sa: ”Nej, kvinna, jag känner inte den mannen.”

58 Efter en stund fick en annan syn på honom och sa: ”Du är också en av dem!”

”Nej, det är jag inte”, svarade Petrus.

59 Ungefär en timma senare var det en tredje som påstod: ”Säkert var den där karln med honom, han är ju från Galileen.”

60 Men Petrus sa: ”Jag förstår inte vad du menar, människa!” Och just när han sa det gol tuppen.

61 I samma stund vände sig Herren om och såg på Petrus, och då kom Petrus ihåg vad Herren hade sagt till honom: ”Innan tuppen gal i natt ska du förneka mig tre gånger.” 62 Och han gick ut och grät bittert.

63 De män som bevakade Jesus började nu håna och slå honom. 64 De band för hans ögon och slog honom och sa: ”Visa att du är en profet! Avslöja vem som slog dig.” 65 Och de förolämpade honom på alla möjliga sätt.

Det judiska rådet vill se Jesus dömd till döden

(Matt 26:63-65; Mark 14:61-64; Joh 18:19-21)

66 Tidigt nästa morgon samlades folkets ledare och översteprästerna och de skriftlärda. Jesus fördes till rådet. 67 De frågade honom: ”Är du Messias? Säg oss som det är!”

Han svarade: ”Om jag säger det, så kommer ni inte att tro mig, 68 och om jag börjar fråga er om något kommer ni inte att svara. 69 Men från och med nu kommer Människosonen att sitta på Maktens högra sida.[f]

70 Då sa de allihop: ”Alltså är du Guds Son?”

Men Jesus svarade: ”Det är ni själva som säger att jag är det.”

71 Då sa de igen: ”Vi behöver väl inga fler vittnen! Nu har vi hört honom säga det själv.”

22 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
