The Chief Priests and Elders Plot to Kill Jesus

26 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, “You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over[a] in order to be crucified.”

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas, and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.[b] But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.”

Jesus’ Anointing at Bethany

Now while[c] Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him holding an alabaster flask of very expensive perfumed oil, and poured it[d] out on his head while he[e] was reclining at table. And when[f] the disciples saw it[g] they were indignant, saying, “Why[h] this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!” 10 But Jesus, knowing this,[i] said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me. 11 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me. 12 For when[j] this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did it[k] in order to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Judas Arranges to Betray Jesus

14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and[l] said, “What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?” So they set out for him thirty silver coins. 16 And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.

Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples

17 Now on the first day[m] of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.”’ 19 And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover. 20 And when it[n] was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.[o] 21 And while[p] they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.” 22 And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I,[q] Lord?” 23 And he answered and[r] said, “The one who dips his[s] hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me. 24 The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.” 25 And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and[t] said, “Surely I am not he, am I,[u] Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”[v]

The Lord’s Supper

26 Now while[w] they were eating Jesus took bread and, after[x] giving thanks, he broke it,[y] and giving it[z] to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” 27 And after[aa] taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it[ab] to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.” 30 And after they[ac] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written,

‘I will strike the shepherd
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[ad]

32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33 But Peter answered and[ae] said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.

The Prayer in Gethsemane

36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and[af] pray.” 37 And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.” 39 And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”[ag] 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “So, were you not able to stay awake with me one hour? 41 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!” 42 Again for the second time he went away and[ah] prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 43 And he came again and[ai] found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open.[aj] 44 And leaving them again, he went away and[ak] prayed for the third time, saying the same thing again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 And while[al] he was still speaking, behold, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one.[am] Arrest him!” 49 And he came up to Jesus immediately and[an] said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, do that[ao] for which you have come.”[ap] Then they came up and[aq] laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.

51 And behold, one of those with Jesus extended his[ar] hand and[as] drew his sword, and striking the slave of the high priest, cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?”

55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? Every day in the temple courts[at] I sat teaching, and you did not arrest me! 56 But all this has happened in order that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all abandoned him and[au] fled.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

57 Now those who had arrested Jesus led him[av] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58 But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside and[aw] was sitting with the officers to see the outcome. 59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death. 60 And they did not find it,[ax] although[ay] many false witnesses came forward. And finally two came forward 61 and[az] said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it[ba] within three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and[bb] said to him, “Do you reply nothing? What are these people testifying against you?” 63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath by the living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!” 64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it.[bc] But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power[bd] and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy! 66 What do you think?” And they answered and[be] said, “He deserves death!”[bf] 67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists, and they slapped him,[bg] 68 saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who is it who hit you?”

Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and[bh] said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it[bi] in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!” 71 And when he[bj] went out to the gateway, another female slave[bk] saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 72 And again he denied it[bl] with an oath, “I do not know the man!” 73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and[bm] said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”[bn] 74 Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and[bo] wept bitterly.

26 · kai When hote Jesus Iēsous had finished teleō · ho all pas · ho these houtos sayings logos, he said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, You know oida that hoti after meta two dyo days hēmera the ho Passover pascha is coming ginomai, and kai the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will be handed paradidōmi over to eis · ho be crucified stauroō.”

Then tote the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the ho elders presbyteros of the ho people laos gathered synagō in eis the ho palace aulē of the ho high archiereus priest , who ho was called legō Caiaphas Kaiaphas, and kai they plotted symbouleuō together to hina seize krateō · ho Jesus Iēsous by stealth dolos and kai kill apokteinō him. But de they said legō, “ Not during en the ho feast heortē, lest hina mē there be ginomai a riot thorybos among en the ho people laos.”

· ho Now de while Jesus Iēsous was ginomai in en Bethany Bēthania, in en the house oikia of Simon Simōn the ho leper lepros, a woman gynē came proserchomai to him autos with echō an alabaster alabastros flask of very expensive barytimos perfume myron · kai that she poured katacheō over epi · ho his autos head kephalē as he reclined anakeimai at table . And de when the ho disciples mathētēs saw it, they were indignant aganakteō and said legō, “ Why eis tis · ho this houtos waste apōleia? For gar this houtos could dynamai have been sold pipraskō for a high polys price and kai the money given didōmi to the poor ptōchos.” 10 But de aware ginōskō of this, · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, “ Why tis are you causing parechō trouble kopos for the ho woman gynē? For gar she has done ergazomai a kind kalos thing ergon to eis me egō. 11 You will echō always pantote have echō the ho poor ptōchos with meta you heautou, but de you will not ou always pantote have echō me egō. 12 For gar by pouring ballō · ho this houtos perfume myron on epi · ho my egō body sōma, she houtos has prepared poieō me egō for pros · ho burial entaphiazō. 13 I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, wherever hopou ean this houtos gospel euangelion is proclaimed kēryssō · ho throughout en holos the ho world kosmos, what hos she houtos has done poieō will also kai be recounted laleō as eis her autos memorial mnēmosynon to me.”

14 Then tote one heis of the ho twelve dōdeka, the ho one named legō Judas Ioudas Iscariot Iskariōtēs, went poreuō to pros the ho ruling archiereus priests 15 and asked legō, “ What tis are you willing thelō to give didōmi me egō if I kagō betray paradidōmi him autos to you hymeis?” And de they ho agreed histēmi to pay him autos thirty triakonta silver argyrion coins . 16 So kai from apo then tote on he watched zēteō for an opportunity eukairia to hina betray paradidōmi Jesus autos.

17 Now de on the ho first prōtos day of ho Unleavened azymos Bread the ho disciples mathētēs came proserchomai to ho Jesus Iēsous and asked legō, “ Where pou do you want thelō us to make hetoimazō preparations for you sy to eat esthiō the ho Passover pascha?” 18 He ho · de said legō, “ Go hypagō into eis the ho city polis to pros a ho certain deina man and kai say legō to him autos, ‘ The ho Teacher didaskalos says legō, · ho My egō time kairos is eimi at hand engys. I will be keeping poieō the ho Passover pascha at pros your sy house with meta · ho my egō disciples mathētēs.”’” 19 So kai the ho disciples mathētēs did poieō as hōs Jesus Iēsous had directed syntassō them autos · ho and kai made hetoimazō preparations for the ho Passover pascha.

20 Now de when evening opsia came ginomai, Jesus was reclining anakeimai at table with meta the ho twelve dōdeka. 21 And kai as they autos were eating esthiō he said legō, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, one heis of ek you hymeis will betray paradidōmi me egō.” 22 And kai they were greatly sphodra distressed lypeō and began archō to say legō to him autos one heis after another hekastos, “ Surely mēti not I egō, Lord kyrios?” 23 Jesus ho · de answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “ The ho one who has dipped embaptō his ho hand cheir into en the ho bowl tryblion with meta me egō will betray paradidōmi me egō. 24 The ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will depart hypagō as kathōs it is written graphō of peri him autos, but de woe ouai to ho that ekeinos one anthrōpos by dia whom hos the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is betrayed paradidōmi! It would have been eimi better kalos for that ekeinos man anthrōpos had he not ou been born gennaō.” · ho 25 Then de Judas Ioudas, who ho would betray paradidōmi him autos, said legō, “ Surely mēti not I egō, Rabbi rhabbi?” Jesus answered legō him autos, “It is as you sy have said legō.”

26 And de as they autos were eating esthiō, Jesus Iēsous took lambanō · ho bread artos; and kai when he had given eulogeō thanks , he broke klaō it and kai gave didōmi it to his ho disciples mathētēs, saying legō, “ Take lambanō, eat esthiō; this houtos is eimi · ho my egō body sōma.” 27 And kai he took lambanō a cup potērion, and kai when he had given eucharisteō thanks , he gave didōmi it to them autos, saying legō, “ Drink pinō from ek it autos, all pas of you, 28 for gar this houtos is eimi · ho my egō blood haima of the ho covenant diathēkē that ho is poured out ekchunnomai for peri many polys for eis the forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia. 29 But de I say legō to you hymeis, I will never ou mē drink pinō again apo arti of ek this houtos · ho fruit genēma of the ho vine ampelos until heōs · ho that ekeinos day hēmera when hotan I drink pinō the new kainos wine autos with meta you hymeis in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho my egō Father patēr.” 30 And kai when they had sung hymneō a hymn , they went exerchomai out to eis the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia.

31 Then tote Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho You hymeis will all pas fall skandalizō away because en of me egō · ho this very houtos night nyx. For gar it stands written graphō, ‘ I will strike patassō the ho shepherd poimēn, and kai the ho sheep probaton of the ho flock poimnē will be scattered diaskorpizō.’ 32 But de after meta · ho I egō have been raised egeirō, I will go proagō ahead of you hymeis into eis · ho Galilee Galilaia.” 33 Peter Petros answered apokrinomai, · de · ho saying legō to him autos, “ Though ei they all pas fall skandalizō away because en of you sy, I egō will never oudepote fall skandalizō away .” 34 Jesus Iēsous said phēmi to him autos, · ho I tell legō you sy the truth amēn, this houtos very · ho night nyx, before prin the rooster alektōr crows phōneō, you will deny aparneomai me egō three tris times .” 35 Peter Petros said legō to him autos, · ho Even kan though I egō must dei die apothnēskō with syn you sy, I will aparneomai never ou mē deny aparneomai you sy!” And kai all pas the ho disciples mathētēs said legō the same homoiōs.

36 Then tote Jesus Iēsous went erchomai with meta them autos · ho to eis a place chōrion called legō Gethsemane Gethsēmani and kai he said legō to his ho disciples mathētēs, “ Sit kathizō here autou while heōs hos I go aperchomai over there ekei and pray proseuchomai.” 37 And kai taking paralambanō with him · ho Peter Petros and kai the ho two dyo sons hyios of Zebedee Zebedaios, he began archō to be sorrowful lypeō and kai troubled adēmoneō. 38 Then tote he said legō to them autos, “ My egō soul psychē is eimi exceedingly sorrowful perilypos, · ho to heōs the point of death thanatos; remain menō here hōde and kai keep grēgoreō watch with meta me egō.” 39 And kai going proerchomai a short mikros distance beyond them, he fell piptō on epi his autos face prosōpon, praying proseuchomai, · kai My egō Father patēr, if ei it be eimi possible dynatos, let this houtos cup potērion pass parerchomai from apo me egō! · ho Yet plēn not ou as hōs I egō will thelō but alla as hōs you sy will.” 40 Then kai he went erchomai to pros the ho disciples mathētēs and kai found heuriskō them autos sleeping katheudō. · kai He said legō to ho Peter Petros, “ So houtōs, could you ischuō men not ou keep watch grēgoreō with meta me egō for a single heis hour hōra? 41 Stay grēgoreō alert and kai pray proseuchomai lest hina mē you enter eiserchomai a time of trial peirasmos. The ho spirit pneuma indeed men is willing prothumos but de the ho flesh sarx is weak asthenēs.” 42 Once again palin he went aperchomai away and prayed proseuchomai, saying legō, “ My egō Father patēr, if ei this houtos cannot ou dynamai pass parerchomai unless ean mē I drink pinō it autos, may your sy will thelēma be done ginomai.” · ho 43 Then kai he returned erchomai palin and found heuriskō them autos sleeping katheudō, for gar their autos eyes ophthalmos were eimi · ho heavy bareō. 44 So kai he left aphiēmi them autos again palin and went aperchomai away , and for ek the third time tritos prayed proseuchomai again palin using legō the ho same autos words logos. 45 Then tote he returned erchomai to pros his ho disciples mathētēs and kai said legō to them autos, “ Are you still loipos sleeping katheudō · ho and kai taking anapauō your rest ? Look idou, the ho hour hōra has come engizō, and kai the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is about to be betrayed paradidōmi into eis the hands cheir of sinners hamartōlos. 46 Get egeirō up , let us be going agō.
