Matayo 26
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Olukwe olw’Okutta Yesu
26 (A)Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo byonna, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, 2 (B)“Nga bwe mumanyi, ebulayo ennaku bbiri tutuuke ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako. Omwana w’Omuntu aliweebwayo akomererwe.”
3 (C)Mu kiseera ekyo kyennyini, bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya baali bakuŋŋaanye mu lubiri lwa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu, 4 (D)nga bakola olukwe mwe banaayita okukwata Yesu bamutte. 5 (E)Naye baasalawo kireme kubaawo mu kiseera eky’Embaga, si kulwa nga wabaawo akeegugungo mu bantu.
6 (F)Awo Yesu bwe yali mu nnyumba ya Simooni Omugenge e Besaniya, 7 ng’ali ku mmeeza, omukazi n’ajja gy’ali ng’alina eccupa y’amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi,[a] n’agafuka ku mutwe gwa Yesu.
8 Abayigirizwa be bwe baakiraba ne banyiiga. Ne bagamba nti, “Lwaki okwonoona amafuta ag’omuwendo gatyo! 9 Kubanga yandisobodde okugatundamu ensimbi nnyingi n’azigabira abaavu.”
10 Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mutawanya omukazi? Ankoledde ekintu ekirungi. 11 (G)Bulijjo abaavu muli nabo, naye nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo. 12 (H)Anfuseeko amafuta gano okuteekateeka omubiri gwange okuguziika. 13 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, bulijjo ajjanga kujjukirwa olw’ekikolwa kino. Ekikolwa ky’omukazi ono kijjanga kwogerwako wonna wonna mu nsi Enjiri gy’eneebuulirwanga.”
14 (I)Awo Yuda Isukalyoti omu ku bayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri n’agenda eri bakabona abakulu. 15 (J)N’ababuuza nti, “Munampa ki okubalaga Yesu mulyoke mumukwate?” Ne bamuwa ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu. 16 Okuviira ddala mu kiseera ekyo Yuda n’anoonya akakisa konna alyemu Yesu olukwe.
Ekyekiro kya Mukama Waffe
17 (K)Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu nnaku ez’Embaga ey’Emigaati egitazimbulukuswa, abayigirizwa ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti, “Embaga y’Okuyitako tukugiteekereteekere wa?”
18 (L)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mu kibuga ewa ‘Gundi,’ mumugambe nti, ‘Omuyigiriza agambye nti: Ekiseera kyange kituuse, era Embaga ey’Okuyitako njagala kugiriira mu maka go awamu n’abayigirizwa bange.’ ” 19 Abayigirizwa ne bagenda ne bakola nga Yesu bwe yabalagira ne bateekateeka Okuyitako.
20 Akawungeezi ako Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde 21 (M)ku mmere n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri, nga balya n’abagamba nti, “Omu ku mmwe ajja kundyamu olukwe.”
22 Bwe baakiwulira emitima ne gibeewanika, buli omu n’abuuza nti, “Ye nze?”
23 (N)Yesu n’addamu nti, “Akozezza nange mu kibya, y’oyo. 24 (O)Mutegeere nti Omwana w’Omuntu agenda nga bwe kyamuwandiikibwako, naye zimusanze omuntu oyo agenda okulya mu Mwana w’Omuntu olukwe. Kyandibadde kirungi singa omuntu oyo teyazaalirwa ddala.”
25 (P)Yuda anaamulyamu olukwe n’amubuuza nti, “Ddala ddala, ye nze Labbi?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Oyogedde.”
26 (Q)Bwe baali balya, Yesu n’addira omugaati n’agusabira omukisa, n’agumenyaamenyamu n’agabira abayigirizwa be, n’agamba nti, “Mutoole mulye, kubanga guno gwe mubiri gwange.”
27 Bw’atyo n’asitula ekikompe, ne yeebaza Katonda, n’abawa ng’agamba nti, “Munywe ku kino mwenna, 28 (R)kubanga guno gwe musaayi gwange ogw’endagaano oguyiika ku lw’abantu abangi, olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi. 29 (S)Era mbagamba nti, Sigenda kuddayo kunywa ku kibala kino okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwe ndikinywa nammwe nga kiggya mu bwakabaka bwa Kitange.”
30 (T)Bwe baamala okuyimbayo oluyimba ne bafuluma ne bagenda ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
Yesu Ategeeza Peetero nga bw’Anaamwegaana
31 (U)Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ekiro kya leero mwenna mujja kunjabulira.
“Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ndikuba omusumba
n’endiga z’omu kisibo kye ne zisaasaana.’
32 (V)Naye bwe ndimala okuzuukizibwa ndibakulembera okugenda e Ggaliraaya.” 33 Peetero n’amuddamu nti, “Abalala bonna bwe banaakwabulira, nze sijja kukwabulira.”
34 (W)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Mu kiro kino kyennyini enkoko eneeba tennakookolima, onooneegaana emirundi esatu.” 35 (X)Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Oba kufiira wamu naawe n’afa, naye sijja kukwegaana n’akamu kokka.” N’abayigirizwa be abalala bonna ne boogera bwe batyo.
Gesusemane
36 Awo Yesu n’agenda nabo mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gesusemane n’abagamba nti, “Mutuule wano okutuusa lwe nnaamala okusaba nkomewo.” 37 (Y)N’atwala Peetero ne batabani ba Zebbedaayo bombi, n’atandika, okuwulira ennaku nnyingi n’okweraliikirira ennyo. 38 (Z)N’abagamba nti, “Omwoyo gwange guliko ennaku egenda na kunzita. Kale mubeere wano tutunule ffenna.”
39 (AA)N’abaleka awo ne yeeyongerayo akabanga, n’agwa wansi ng’avuunise amaaso ge ku ttaka, n’asaba nti, “Kitange! Obanga kisoboka, leka ekikompe kino kinzigibweko. Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.”
40 (AB)N’addayo eri abayigirizwa be n’abasanga nga beebase. N’agamba Peetero nti, “Peetero, naawe tosobodde kutunula nange n’essaawa emu? 41 (AC)Mutunule nga bwe musaba. Omwoyo gwo gwagala, naye omubiri gwe munafu!”
42 N’abavaako omulundi ogwokubiri akabanga n’agenda n’asaba ng’agamba nti, “Kitange! Oba tekisoboka ekikompe kino kuvaawo wabula Nze okukinywa, kale ky’oyagala kye kiba kikolebwa.”
43 N’akomawo nate gye bali n’abasanga nga beebase, kubanga amaaso gaabwe gaali gazitowa nga gajjudde otulo. 44 N’abaleka n’agenda asaba ebigambo bye bimu nga biri.
45 (AD)Ate n’akomawo awali abayigirizwa n’abagamba nti, “Kale mwebakire ddala, muwummule. Kyokka mumanye ng’ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abalina ebibi. 46 Muzuukuke! Musituke tugende! Laba, omuntu agenda okundyamu olukwe wuuli ajja!”
Yesu Akwatibwa
47 Laba Yesu yali akyayogera Yuda omu ku kkumi n’ababiri, n’atuuka ng’alina ekibiina ky’abantu abaali babagalidde ebitala n’emiggo nga batumiddwa bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya. 48 Eyali agenda okumulyamu olukwe yali abategeezezza akabonero nti omuntu gw’anaalamusa nga y’oyo gwe baali beetaaga, nga bamukwata. 49 (AE)Amangwago n’ajja eri Yesu n’amulamusa nti, “Mirembe, Labbi,” n’amugwa mu kifuba.
50 (AF)Yesu kwe kumugamba nti. “Munnange, kola ky’ojjiridde.”[b] Awo abalala ne bakwata Yesu.
51 (AG)Omuntu omu ku abo abaali ne Yesu n’asowolayo ekitala kye n’asalako okutu kw’omuweereza wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
52 (AH)Naye Yesu n’amulagira nti, “Ekitala kyo kizzeeyo mu kiraato kyakyo. Kubanga abo abakozesa ebitala nabo bagenda kuttibwa na kitala. 53 (AI)Tomanyi nti nnyinza okusaba Kitange bamalayika nkumi na nkumi okujja okutulwanirira? 54 (AJ)Naye singa nkola bwe ntyo, olwo Ebyawandiikibwa, ebyogera ku bino ebiriwo kaakano, binatuukirira bitya?”
55 (AK)Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’abuuza ekibiina nti, “Ndi ng’omumenyi w’amateeka ow’akabi ennyo, n’okujja ne mujja okunkwata nga mubagalidde ebitala n’emiggo? Nabeeranga nammwe nga njigiriza mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku, ne mutankwata. 56 (AL)Naye kino kibaddewo okutuukiriza ebigambo bya bannabbi ebiri mu Byawandiikibwa.” Olwo abayigirizwa be bonna ne bamwabulira ne badduka.
Yesu mu maaso g’Olukiiko
57 (AM)Awo ekibiina ne kitwala Yesu ewa Kayaafa, Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya gye baali bakuŋŋaanidde. 58 (AN)Mu kiseera ekyo ne Peetero yali agoberera kyokka ng’ali walako emabega w’ekibiina; n’atuuka mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’atuula awaali abaweereza ng’alinda okutegeera ebinaavaayo. 59 (AO)Bakabona abakulu n’Abasaddukaayo bonna ne banoonya obujulizi obw’obulimba ku Yesu obunamuweesa ekibonerezo eky’okufa. 60 (AP)Kyokka ne bafunayo batono ab’obujulirwa obw’obulimba. N’evumbukayo babiri 61 (AQ)abeesimbawo okugamba nti, “Omuntu ono yagamba nti, ‘Nsobola okumenyawo Yeekaalu ya Katonda, ate ne ngizimba ne ngimalira mu nnaku ssatu.’ ”
62 Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayimirira n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Tolina ky’oddamu ku bino abasajja bano bye bakuloopa?” 63 (AR)Naye Yesu n’asirika busirisi.
Ate Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’amuddira ng’amugamba nti, “Nkulagira, mu linnya lya Katonda omulamu otutegeeze obanga Ggwe Kristo, Omwana wa Katonda.”
64 (AS)Yesu n’addamu nti, “Okyogedde. Naye mbagamba nti, okuva ne kaakano mugenda kulaba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’akomawo ku bire eby’eggulu.” 65 (AT)Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’agamba nti, “Kuno kuvvoola! Ate kati tukyetaagira ki abajulirwa abalala? Mwenna mumuwulidde ng’akyogera! 66 (AU)Mumusalira mutya?” Ne baddamu nti, “Gumusinze! Asaanidde kufa!”
67 (AV)Olwo ne bawandira Yesu amalusu mu maaso, abamu ne bamukuba ebikonde ne bamukuba empi, 68 (AW)nga bwe bamugamba nti, “Tutegeeze, Kristo, akukubye y’aluwa?”
Peetero Yeegaana Yesu
69 Mu kiseera ekyo Peetero yali atudde mu luggya. Awo omuweereza omuwala n’ajja awali Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Wali wamu ne Yesu, ow’e Ggaliraaya.”
70 Naye Peetero ne yeegaana mu maaso ga buli omu ng’agamba nti, “Ky’oyogerako sikimanyi.”
71 Oluvannyumako nga Peetero ayimiridde okumpi n’oluggi olunene oluva mu luggya, omuwala omulala n’amulaba, n’agamba abo abaali bayimiridde awo nti, “Omusajja ono yali ne Yesu ow’e Nazaaleesi.”
72 Peetero era n’akyegaana, nga kw’atadde n’okulayira nga bw’agamba nti, “Nze oyo n’okumumanya simumanyi.”
73 Naye nga wayiseewo akabanga, abasajja abaali bayimiridde awo ne bajja w’ali, ne bamugamba nti, “Ddala ddala oli omu ku bo, kubanga otegeerekeka olw’enjogera yo.”
74 Peetero n’atandika okulayira nate, ne yeeyongera okwegaana ng’agamba nti, “Omuntu simumanyi.” Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima.
75 (AX)Awo Peetero n’ajjukira ebigambo bya Yesu bye yali amugambye nti, “Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima onoonneegaana emirundi esatu.” N’afuluma ebweru ng’akaaba nnyo amaziga.
馬 太 福 音 26
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
犹太首领策划杀害耶稣
26 说完这些，耶稣又对他的门徒们说： 2 “你们知道，后天就是逾越节了，那天人子将被交给他的敌人，钉死在十字架上。”
3 祭司长和年长的犹太首领聚集在大祭司该亚法家的院子里。 4 他们秘密策划设法逮捕耶稣，并杀害他。 5 不过他们说∶“我们不能在逾越节期间动手，否则民众会暴动的。”
一位女子荣耀耶稣
6 在伯大尼，耶稣来到麻风病人西门家里。 7 耶稣在那时，一位女子拿着一个装满了非常贵重香膏的雪花石瓶来到耶稣那里。当耶稣正在吃东西时，她把香膏倒在了耶稣头上。
8 门徒们都很生气，说∶“为什么要浪费这些香膏呢？ 9 它可以卖很多钱呢，这些钱可以分给穷人！”
10 耶稣知道他们在说什么，便说∶“你们为什么要为难这个女子呢？她为我做了一件好事。 11 你们总会有穷人和你们在一起，但你们却不常有我。 12 她把香膏倒在我身上，是为我的葬礼做准备。 13 我实话告诉你们：普天下只要是福音传到的地方，这女子的所作所为将被永远传颂纪念。”
犹大同意帮助耶稣的敌人
14 耶稣十二个门徒中，有一个加略人犹大。他去见祭司长们， 15 问他们∶“如果我把耶稣交给你们，你们会给我什么？”于是他们给了他三十枚银币。 16 从此，犹大便开始伺机出卖耶稣。
逾越节晚餐
17 除酵节的第一天，耶稣的门徒们来问耶稣∶“您想让我们在哪儿给您准备逾越节晚餐呢？”
18 耶稣说∶“进城去，找一个我认识的人，告诉他∶‘先生说：我的时辰快到了，我要和我的门徒们在你家里庆祝逾越节。’” 19 使徒们照耶稣的话去做了，准备好了逾越节的宴席。
20 晚上，耶稣和十二个门徒坐在桌边。 21 吃饭的时候，耶稣说∶“我实话告诉你们，你们当中有一个人要出卖我。”
22 门徒们都很难过，每个人都问他∶“主，那人肯定不是我吧？”
23 耶稣说∶“和我在同一个碟子里蘸饼吃的人就是要出卖我的人。 24 人子就要走了，就像《经》上记载的一样。但是那个出卖人子的人定要遭殃了。他还不如不出世好。”
25 要出卖耶稣的犹大说话了，他问∶“拉比（老师），那人肯定不是我吧？”
耶稣回答道∶“是你。”
主的晚餐
26 他们吃饭时，耶稣拿起饼，向上帝谢恩之后，然后他掰开饼，分给使徒们，说∶“拿去，吃下它，这是我的身体。”
27 接着他端起一杯酒 [a]，向上帝谢恩，然后递给他们，说∶“你们都喝吧， 28 这是我的血，它是为了宽恕许多人的罪而流的，它开始了上帝对他子民的新契约。 29 我告诉你们，我再也不喝这酒了，直到在我父的天国里与你们同饮新酒那天。”
30 他们一起唱了圣歌，然后到橄榄山去了。
耶稣说他的门徒会离开他
31 耶稣对门徒们说∶“今天晚上，你们都会对我失去信仰，因为《经》上写着：
‘我要杀死牧羊人，
羊群会四处逃散。’ (A)
32 “但是我复活后，会比你们先到加利利。”
33 彼得说∶“即使其他所有的人对您失去了信仰，我是绝对不会失去信仰的！”
34 耶稣说∶“我实话告诉你，在今夜鸡叫之前，你会三次说不认识我。”
35 彼得说∶“即使我必须和您一同死，我也决不会说不认识您。”其他门徒也这么说。
耶稣独自祈祷
36 耶稣与门徒们一起来到一个叫客西马尼的地方，他告诉门徒∶“你们坐在这儿，我到那边去祈祷。” 37 他带彼得和西庇太的两个儿子一起去了。耶稣感到非常难过与忧愁， 38 他说∶“我内心充满了沉重的悲伤，我痛苦得快要死了，和我一起警惕地守候着吧。”
39 然后他又向前走了一点，匍匐在地上，祈祷说∶“我父，如果可能，让我免喝这杯苦酒吧！不过，请不要做我想的事，而是按您的意愿去做吧。” 40 耶稣回到门徒身边，发现他们都睡着了。他对彼得说∶“难道你们和我在一起时，连一个钟头都不能清醒吗？ 41 清醒吧，祈祷吧，免受诱惑。虽然你们的心灵愿意，但是你们的肉体却是软弱的。”
42 耶稣又走开去祈祷，他说∶“我父，如果我非得喝下这杯苦酒，那就让您的意志得以实现吧！”
43 然后，他又回到门徒那里，看到他们又都睡着了，困得睁不开眼睛。 44 他离开他们，第三次走开去做祈祷，仍然祈祷刚才那番话。
45 然后，耶稣又回到门徒们中间，对他们说∶“你们还在睡觉休息呢？听着，时辰到了！人子就要被出卖，落到罪人的手里。 46 起来！咱们得走了，你们瞧，出卖我的人来了！”
耶稣被捕
47 耶稣正说话时，十二使徒中的犹大，带着祭司长和年长的犹太首领派来的一大群人来了。他们拿着刀剑棍棒。 48 出卖耶稣的犹大已和他们约定了暗号。他说∶“我吻的人就是耶稣，逮捕他。” 49 于是犹大向耶稣走来，说∶“您好，拉比（老师）！”然后，他吻了耶稣。
50 耶稣说∶“朋友，做你来要做的事吧！”于是那帮人上前抓住耶稣，逮捕了他。 51 和耶稣在一起的门徒之一拔出剑来，朝大祭司的奴仆砍去，砍掉了他的一只耳朵。 52 但是耶稣却对他说∶“把剑收回去，动剑的人必死于剑下。 53 你们肯定知道，如果我请求我的父亲，他会立刻给我派来十二多个军团的天使。 54 可是，如果我这么做，《经》上的话又怎么能应验呢？《经》上说的事必须这样发生。”
55 这时耶稣对众人说∶“为什么你们现在拿刀动棍地来抓我，好像我是个罪犯。我天天坐在大殿院里传教，你们反倒不来抓我。 56 不过，这样的情形恰好应验了先知的话。”这时，耶稣的门徒全都抛下他逃走了。
耶稣在犹太首领面前
57 耶稣被捕后，被押送到大祭司该亚法那里。律法师和年长的犹太首领也聚集在这里。 58 彼得远远地跟着耶稣，来到大祭司的院子里。他进去和奴仆们混坐在一起，想看看事情的结果怎样。
59 祭司长和犹太议会都企图找到假证来指控耶稣，以便置他于死地。 60 可是尽管很多人出来作伪证，他们还是找不出杀害耶稣的理由。最后有两个人过来说： 61 “这个人说∶‘我可以毁掉上帝的大殿，然后在三天之内重建它。’”
62 大祭司站起来，问耶稣∶“对这些人的指控，你有什么要说的吗？” 63 耶稣默不作声。
大祭司又说∶“以活生生的上帝的名义，我要你发誓，告诉我们，你是不是基督—上帝之子。”
64 耶稣说∶“你说的不错。不过我还要告诉你们，从今以后，你们会看到人子坐在上帝右边，驾云从天上降临。”
65 大祭司听了这话，气极败坏地扯着自己的衣服说∶“他亵渎上帝，难道我们还需要什么证人吗？你们都听到他刚才说的亵渎上帝的话了！ 66 你们看怎么办？”
他们说∶“他有罪，他该死！” 67 然后，他们朝耶稣脸上吐唾沫，挥拳殴打他。其他人则打他耳光， 68 他们对他叫喊着∶“让我们看看你是一位先知，基督！告诉我们谁打你呢？”
彼得不敢承认认识耶稣
69 这时，彼得坐在屋外的院子里，大祭司家的一个女仆走近彼得说道∶“你曾和加利利的耶稣在一起。”
70 可是彼得当着所有的人否认了这一切，他说∶“我不知道你在说些什么！”
71 然后彼得离开院子。在门口另外一个女子看见他，对周围的人说∶“这个人是和拿撒勒的耶稣在一起的。”
72 彼得发誓，再一次否认这一切∶“我不认识这个人！”
73 过了一会，站在那里的人们走近彼得，对他说∶“你确实是他们当中的一个。不管你怎么说，你的口音让你露了馅。”
74 彼得开始诅咒发誓说∶“我不认识这个人！”这时，公鸡啼鸣。 75 彼得记起耶稣的话∶“鸡叫之前，你将三次说不认识我。”彼得出去，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.
