Planer på att döda Jesus
(Mark 14:1-2; Luk 22:1-2; Joh 11:45-53)
26 När Jesus hade avslutat hela detta tal sa han till sina lärjungar: 2 ”Som ni vet börjar påskhögtiden[a] om två dagar. Då ska Människosonen bli utlämnad och korsfäst.”
3 Under tiden samlades översteprästerna och folkets ledare i översteprästen Kajafas palats 4 för att diskutera hur man i hemlighet skulle kunna arrestera Jesus och döda honom. 5 ”Men”, sa de till varandra, ”inte under själva påskhögtiden, för det kan leda till upplopp.”
En kvinna smörjer Jesus med dyrbar olja
(Mark 14:3-9; Luk 7:37-38; Joh 12:1-8)
6 Jesus var en dag i Betania hos Simon, den spetälske. 7 Och medan de åt där tillsammans, kom en kvinna fram till Jesus med en alabasterflaska dyrbar olja, som hon hällde över hans huvud när han låg till bords.
8 Lärjungarna blev upprörda och sa: ”Vilket slöseri! 9 Oljan kunde man ju ha sålt och fått mycket pengar att ge till de fattiga.”
10 Men Jesus märkte det och sa: ”Varför kritiserar ni henne? Hon har gjort en god gärning mot mig. 11 De fattiga kommer ni alltid att ha ibland er, men mig kommer ni inte alltid att ha hos er. 12 Genom att hälla den här oljan över mig har hon förberett min begravning. 13 Sannerligen säger jag er: överallt i världen där man förkunnar detta evangelium ska man också berätta om det hon nyss gjorde och komma ihåg henne.”
Judas beslutar att förråda Jesus
(Mark 14:10-11; Luk 22:3-6)
14 Då gick Judas Iskariot, en av de tolv, till översteprästerna 15 och frågade: ”Hur mycket betalar ni mig om jag förråder honom?” De gav honom då trettio silvermynt, 16 och från den stunden sökte Judas efter ett lämpligt tillfälle att förråda Jesus.
Jesus lärjungar förbereder påskmåltiden
(Mark 14:12-16; Luk 22:7-13)
17 På första dagen av det osyrade brödets högtid[b] kom lärjungarna till Jesus och frågade: ”Var vill du att vi ska ordna så att du kan äta påskmåltiden?”
18 Jesus svarade: ”Gå in i Jerusalem och sök upp en viss man och säg till honom: ’Vår Mästare säger: Min tid närmar sig. Nu vill jag äta påskmåltiden i ditt hus tillsammans med mina lärjungar.’ ” 19 Hans lärjungar gjorde då som han hade sagt, och de ordnade sedan med påskmåltiden.
Jesus och hans lärjungar äter den sista måltiden
(Mark 14:17-25; Luk 22:17-23; 1 Kor 11:23-25)
20 När kvällen kom slog sig Jesus och de tolv ner vid bordet. 21 Och medan de åt sa han: ”Sannerligen säger jag er: en av er kommer att förråda mig.” 22 Då blev de mycket bedrövade, och en efter en frågade de: ”Det är väl inte jag, Herre?”
23 Han svarade: ”Den som doppade sitt bröd i fatet tillsammans med mig, han är det.[c] 24 För Människosonen går bort, som det står skrivet om honom. Men ve den människa som förråder Människosonen! Det hade varit bättre för den människan att aldrig ha blivit född.”
25 Då frågade Judas, han som skulle förråda honom: ”Rabbi[d], det är väl inte mig du menar?” Jesus svarade: ”Du har självt sagt det.”
26 Medan de åt tog Jesus ett bröd, och när han hade tackat Gud för det, bröt han det och gav det till sina lärjungar och sa: ”Ta detta och ät, för det är min kropp.” 27 Sedan tog han en bägare och tackade Gud och gav den till dem och sa: ”Drick av det allihop, 28 för detta är mitt blod, förbundsblodet, som ska utgjutas för många till syndernas förlåtelse. 29 Jag säger er, att från och med nu ska jag inte dricka av det som vinstocken ger, förrän jag dricker det nya vinet med er i min Faders rike.”
Jesus förutsäger att Petrus ska svika honom
(Mark 14:26-31; Luk 22:33-34; Joh 13:37-38)
30 När de till sist hade sjungit lovsången[e] tillsammans, gick de ut till Olivberget.
31 Där sa Jesus till dem: ”I natt kommer ni alla på fall för min skull, för det står skrivet:
’Jag ska slå herden,
så att fåren i hjorden skingras.’[f]
32 Men när jag har uppstått från de döda, ska jag gå före er till Galileen.”
33 Petrus svarade: ”Även om alla andra kommer på fall, så ska jag aldrig göra det!” 34 Men Jesus sa till honom: ”Sannerligen säger jag dig: redan i natt, innan tuppen hinner gala, ska du tre gånger ha förnekat mig.”
35 Då sa Petrus: ”Om jag så måste dö med dig, ska jag aldrig förneka dig!” Och alla de andra lärjungarna sa samma sak.
Jesus ber i Getsemane
(Mark 14:32-42; Luk 22:39-46)
36 Sedan gick Jesus med sina lärjungar till ett ställe som kallas Getsemane, och där sa han till dem: ”Sätt er här medan jag går bort en bit och ber.” 37 Han tog med sig Petrus och Sebedaios båda söner.
Jesus greps nu av sorg och ångest, 38 och han sa till dem: ”Jag är djupt bedrövad, ända till döds. Stanna kvar här och vaka tillsammans med mig.” 39 Sedan gick han lite längre bort och föll ner på sitt ansikte och bad: ”Min Fader, om det är möjligt, så låt mig slippa denna bägare[g]. Men låt det bli som du vill, inte som jag vill.”
40 Sedan kom han tillbaka till sina lärjungar och hittade dem sovande. Han sa till Petrus: ”Klarade ni inte att hålla er vakna med mig en enda timma? 41 Vaka och be, så att ni inte faller för frestelsen. Anden är villig, men kroppen är svag.”
42 Så lämnade han dem och bad samma bön för andra gången: ”Fader i himlen, om det inte är möjligt att slippa denna bägare, utan jag måste tömma den, så låt din vilja ske.” 43 Men när han kom tillbaka, fann han dem åter sovande. De kunde inte hålla ögonen öppna. 44 Han lämnade dem därför och bad för tredje gången med samma ord.
45 Sedan gick han tillbaka till sina lärjungar och sa: ”Ja, ni sover och vilar er fortfarande. Men nu är stunden inne då Människosonen ska överlämnas i syndarnas händer. 46 Res er upp, så går vi härifrån! Här kommer han som ska förråda mig.”
Jesus blir förrådd och arresterad
(Mark 14:43-50; Luk 22:47-53; Joh 18:3-11)
47 Medan Jesus fortfarande talade kom Judas, en av de tolv, tillsammans med en stor folkhop beväpnad med svärd och klubbor. De var utsända av översteprästerna och folkets ledare. 48 Förrädaren hade kommit överens med dem om ett tecken och sagt: ”Den man som jag hälsar med en kyss är det, honom ska ni gripa.” 49 Judas gick direkt till Jesus och sa: ”Var hälsad, Rabbi!” och kysste honom.
50 Jesus svarade: ”Min vän, gör det du har kommit hit för att göra.” Och genast gick de andra fram och grep Jesus och höll fast honom.
51 En av de män som var med Jesus drog då sitt svärd och högg örat av översteprästens tjänare. 52 Men Jesus sa till honom: ”Stoppa tillbaka svärdet! De som använder svärd, kommer själva att falla för svärd. 53 Inser du inte att jag skulle kunna be min Fader att skicka mer än tolv arméer med änglar för att hjälpa mig, och att han genast skulle göra det? 54 Men hur skulle det då gå i uppfyllelse som förutsagts i Skriften, att allt detta måste hända?”
55 Sedan vände sig Jesus till folkhopen och sa: ”Som mot en farlig brottsling har ni kommit med svärd och klubbor för att gripa mig! Varje dag satt jag i templet och undervisade utan att ni grep mig. 56 Men allt detta har hänt för att profeternas skrifter ska gå i uppfyllelse.[h]”
I samma stund övergav alla hans lärjungar honom och flydde.
Jesus förhörs av det judiska rådet
(Mark 14:53-65; Luk 22:54-55; 22:63-71; Joh 18:12-13; 18:19-24)
57 De som hade arresterat Jesus förde honom nu till översteprästen Kajafas, där de skriftlärda och folkets ledare hade samlats. 58 Petrus följde efter på avstånd, ända in på gården till översteprästens palats. Där slog han sig sedan ner bland tjänarna för att se vad som skulle hända.
59 Översteprästerna och hela det judiska rådet[i] försökte hitta falska vittnesberättelser som skulle räcka för att döma Jesus till döden. 60 Men de hittade inga, trots att det fanns många som var villiga att vittna falskt.
Till slut kom två 61 som sa: ”Vi har hört den här mannen säga: ’Jag kan riva ner Guds tempel och bygga upp det igen på tre dagar.’ ”
62 Då reste sig översteprästen och sa till Jesus: ”Svarar du inte på vad de vittnar mot dig?” 63 Men Jesus teg.
Då sa översteprästen: ”Inför den Gud som lever besvär jag dig att du talar om för oss om du är Messias, Guds Son.”
64 Jesus svarade: ”Det är du själv som kallar mig det. Men jag säger er, att efter detta ska ni få se Människosonen sitta på Maktens högra sida och komma på himlens moln.[j]”
65 Då slet översteprästen sönder sina kläder och ropade: ”Han har hädat! Vi behöver väl inga fler vittnen! Ni har själva hört hädelsen. 66 Vad anser ni?” De ropade tillbaka: ”Han förtjänar döden!”
67 Sedan spottade de Jesus i ansiktet och slog honom med knytnävarna. Några gav honom också örfilar 68 och sa: ”Du som är Messias, visa nu att du är en profet! Avslöja vem som slog dig.”
Petrus förnekar att han känner Jesus
(Mark 14:66-72; Luk 22:54-62; Joh 18:16-18; 18:25-27)
69 Under tiden satt Petrus ute på gården. En tjänsteflicka kom då fram till honom och sa: ”Du var väl också tillsammans med den där Jesus från Galileen!” 70 Men Petrus nekade inför alla och sa: ”Jag vet inte ens vad du pratar om.”
71 Sedan gick han ut i porten, och där fick en annan tjänsteflicka syn på honom. ”Den här mannen var tillsammans med Jesus från Nasaret”, sa hon till dem som stod runt omkring. 72 Men Petrus nekade igen, ja, han till och med svor på det: ”Jag känner inte den där mannen!”
73 Efter en stund kom de som stod där fram till honom och sa: ”Visst är du en av dem. Det hörs på din dialekt.” 74 Petrus svor då igen och bedyrade: ”Jag känner inte den mannen.” Och i samma stund gol tuppen.
75 Då kom Petrus ihåg vad Jesus hade sagt: ”Innan tuppen gal ska du förneka mig tre gånger.” Och han gick ut och grät bittert.

New International Version
The Plot Against Jesus(A)
26 When Jesus had finished saying all these things,(B) he said to his disciples, 2 “As you know, the Passover(C) is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled(D) in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,(E) 4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.(F) 5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot(G) among the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany(H)(I)
6 While Jesus was in Bethany(J) in the home of Simon the Leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 The poor you will always have with you,[a](K) but you will not always have me. 12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.(L) 13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(M)
14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot(N)—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.(O) 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper(P)(Q)(R)
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(S) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(T)
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(U) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(V)
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(W) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(X) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(Y) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(Z)
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(AA) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup,(AB) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant,(AC) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(AD) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(AE) in my Father’s kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(AF)
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AG)
31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(AH) for it is written:
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(AJ)
33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(AK)
35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(AL) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
Gethsemane(AM)
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(AN) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(AO) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(AP)
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(AQ) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(AR)
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(AS) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AT) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(AU)
43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour(AV) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested(AW)
47 While he was still speaking, Judas,(AX) one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”(AY) and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d](AZ)
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(BA) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(BB)
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(BC) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(BD) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(BE) that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(BF) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(BG) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(BH)
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas(BI) the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58 But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.(BJ) He entered and sat down with the guards(BK) to see the outcome.
59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(BL) were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses(BM) came forward.
Finally two(BN) came forward 61 and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”(BO)
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent.(BP)
The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath(BQ) by the living God:(BR) Tell us if you are the Messiah,(BS) the Son of God.”(BT)
64 “You have said so,”(BU) Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One(BV) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[e](BW)
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes(BX) and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”
“He is worthy of death,”(BY) they answered.
67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.(BZ) Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”(CA)
Peter Disowns Jesus(CB)
69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”
73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(CC) And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Jesus Tells of His Death the Fourth Time (A)
26 When Jesus had finished all this teaching, He said to His followers, 2 “You know that the special religious supper to remember how the Jews left Egypt is in two days. The Son of Man will be handed over to be nailed to a cross.”
3 The religious leaders and the leaders of the people gathered at the house of the head religious leader. His name was Caiaphas. 4 They talked together how they might trap Jesus and kill Him. 5 But they said, “This must not happen on the day of the special supper. The people would be against it. They would make much trouble.”
Mary of Bethany Puts Special Perfume on Jesus (B)
6 Jesus was in the town of Bethany in the house of Simon. Simon had a very bad skin disease. 7 A woman came with a jar of perfume. She had given much money for this. As Jesus ate, she poured the perfume on His head. 8 When the followers saw it, they were angry. They said, “Why was this wasted? 9 This perfume could have been sold for much money and given to poor people.”
10 Jesus knew what they were saying. He said to them, “Why are you giving this woman trouble? She has done a good thing to Me. 11 You will have poor people with you all the time. But you will not have Me with you all the time. 12 She put this perfume on My body to make it ready for the grave. 13 For sure, I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in all the world, this woman will be remembered for what she has done.”
Judas Hands Jesus Over to Be Killed (C)
14 Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve followers. He went to the religious leaders of the Jews. 15 He said, “What will you pay me if I hand Jesus over to you?” They promised to pay him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From that time on Judas looked for a way to hand Jesus over to them.
Getting Ready for the Special Supper (D)
17 On the first day of the supper of bread without yeast the followers came to Jesus. They said, “What place do You want us to make ready for You to eat the supper of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt?” 18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I will eat the special supper at your house with My followers.”’” 19 The followers did as Jesus told them. They made things ready for this special supper.
The Last Special Supper (E)
20 When evening came, Jesus sat with the twelve followers. 21 As they were eating, Jesus said, “For sure, I tell you, one of you will hand Me over.” 22 They were very sad. They said to Him one after the other, “Lord, is it I?” 23 He said, “The one who will hand Me over is the one who has just put his hand with Mine in the dish. 24 The Son of Man is going away as it is written of Him. It is bad for that man who hands the Son of Man over! It would have been better if he had not been born!” 25 Judas was the one who was handing Jesus over. He said, “Teacher, am I the one?” Jesus said to him, “You have said it.”
The First Lord’s Supper (F)
26 As they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread. He gave thanks and broke it in pieces. He gave it to His followers and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.” 27 Then He took the cup and gave thanks. He gave it to them and said, “You must all drink from it. 28 This is My blood of the New Way of Worship which is given for many. It is given so the sins of many can be forgiven. 29 I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until that day when I will drink it new with you in the holy nation of My Father.” 30 After they sang a song they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Tells How Peter Will Lie about Him (G)
31 Jesus said to them, “All of you will be ashamed of Me and leave Me tonight. For it is written, ‘I will kill the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be spread everywhere.’ (H) 32 After I am raised from the dead, I will go before you to the country of Galilee.”
33 Peter said to Jesus, “Even if all men give up and turn away because of You, I will never.” 34 Jesus said to him, “For sure, I tell you, before a rooster crows this night, you will say three times you do not know Me.” 35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never say I do not know You.” And all the followers said the same thing.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (I)
36 Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, “You sit here while I go over there to pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him. He began to have much sorrow and a heavy heart. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is very sad. My soul is so full of sorrow I am ready to die. You stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went on a little farther and got down with His face on the ground. He prayed, “My Father, if it can be done, take away what is before Me. Even so, not what I want but what You want.”
40 Then He came to the followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Were you not able to watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray so that you will not be tempted. Man’s spirit is willing, but the body does not have the power to do it.”
42 He went away again the second time. He prayed, saying, “My Father, if this must happen to Me, may whatever You want be done.” 43 He came and found them asleep again. Their eyes were heavy. 44 He went away from them the third time and prayed the same prayer.
45 Then He came to His followers and asked them, “Are you still sleeping and getting your rest? As I speak, the time has come when the Son of Man will be handed over to sinners. 46 Get up and let us go. See! The man who will hand Me over is near.”
Jesus Handed Over to Sinners (J)
47 Judas, one of the twelve followers, came while Jesus was talking. He came with many others who had swords and sticks. They came from the religious leaders of the Jews and the leaders of the people. 48 The man who handed Jesus over gave the men something to look for. He said, “The One I kiss is the One you want. Take Him!” 49 At once Judas went up to Jesus and said, “Hello, Teacher,” and kissed Him. 50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came and put their hands on Jesus and took Him.
51 One of those with Jesus took his sword. He hit the servant who was owned by the religious leader and cut off his ear. 52 Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back where it belongs. Everyone who uses a sword will die with a sword. 53 Do you not think that I can pray to My Father? At once He would send Me more than 70,000 angels. 54 If I did, how could it happen as the Holy Writings said it would happen? It must be this way.”
55 Then Jesus said to the many people, “Have you come with swords and sticks to take Me as if I were a robber? I have been with you every day teaching in the house of God. You never put your hands on Me then. 56 But this has happened as the early preachers said in the Holy Writings it would happen.” Then all the followers left Him and ran away.
Jesus Stands in Front of the Religious Leaders (K)
57 Those who had taken Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas. He was the head religious leader. The teachers of the Law and the other leaders were gathered there. 58 But Peter followed Him a long way behind while going to the house of the head religious leader. Then he went in and sat with the helpers to see what would happen.
59 The religious leaders and the other leaders and all the court were looking for false things to say against Jesus. They wanted some reason to kill Him. 60 They found none, but many came and told false things about Him. At last two came to the front. 61 They said, “This Man said, ‘I am able to destroy the house of God and build it up again in three days.’”
62 Then the head religious leader stood up. He said to Jesus, “Have You nothing to say? What about the things these men are saying against You?” 63 Jesus said nothing. Then the head religious leader said to Him, “In the name of the living God, I tell You to say the truth. Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus said to him, “What you said is true. I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated on the right hand of the All-powerful God. You will see Him coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65 Then the head religious leader tore his clothes apart. He said, “He has spoken as if He were God! Do we need other people to speak against Him yet? You have heard Him speak as if He were God! 66 What do you think?” They said, “He is guilty of death!”
67 Then they spit on His face. They hit Him with their hands. Others beat Him. 68 They said, “Tell us, Christ, You Who can tell what is going to happen, who hit You?”
Peter Said He Did Not Know Jesus (L)
69 Peter sat outside in the yard. A young servant-girl came to him. She said, “You were also with Jesus Who is from the country of Galilee!” 70 But Peter lied in front of all of them, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 After he had gone out, another young servant-girl saw him. She said to those standing around, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 Again he lied and swore, “I do not know this Man!” 73 After a little while some of the people standing around came up to Peter and said, “For sure, you are one of them. You talk like they do.” 74 Then he began to say bad words and swear. He said, “I do not know the Man!” At once a rooster crowed.
75 Peter remembered the words Jesus had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, you will say three times you do not know Me.” Peter went outside and cried with loud cries.
