Matthew 26
World English Bible
26 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. 4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. 8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me. 12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23 He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?”
He said to him, “You said it.”
26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for[a] it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it, 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’(A) 32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.” 37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled. 38 Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.” 49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. 56 But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death, 60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?” 63 But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”
They answered, “He is worthy of death!” 67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately the rooster crowed. 75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.

La conspiración contra Jesús
26 Al terminar de decir estas cosas, dijo a sus discípulos:
2 «Como ya saben, dentro de dos días se celebra la Pascua, y me van a traicionar y a crucificar».
3-4 En aquel mismo instante, los principales sacerdotes y los funcionarios judíos se reunían en la residencia de Caifás, el sumo sacerdote, y discutían sobre la manera de capturar a Jesús a espaldas del pueblo y matarlo.
5 ―No debemos hacerlo durante la celebración de la Pascua —dijeron—, porque habrá revuelta.
Una mujer unge a Jesús en Betania
6 Jesús fue a Betania, donde visitó a Simón el leproso. 7 Durante la cena, una mujer se le acercó con un frasco de un perfume costosísimo y se lo echó en la cabeza. 8 Al ver esto, los discípulos se enojaron.
―¡Qué desperdicio! —dijeron—. 9 Se hubiera podido vender ese perfume a muy buen precio y habríamos dado el dinero a los pobres.
10 Jesús, que sabía lo que estaban pensando, les dijo:
―¿Por qué la critican? Lo que hizo está muy bien hecho. 11 Entre ustedes siempre habrá pobres, pero yo no estaré siempre con ustedes. 12 Ella me ha bañado en perfume para prepararme para la sepultura. 13 Lo que ha hecho se sabrá en todas partes del mundo en que se prediquen las buenas nuevas.
Judas hace tratos para traicionar a Jesús
14 Entonces Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce apóstoles, se presentó ante los principales sacerdotes 15 y les preguntó:
―¿Cuánto me pagan si les entrego a Jesús?
―Treinta piezas de plata.
16 Desde ese momento, Judas buscaba la ocasión propicia para traicionar a Jesús.
La Cena del Señor
17 El primer día de las ceremonias pascuales en que los judíos se abstenían de comer pan con levadura, los discípulos le preguntaron a Jesús:
―¿Dónde quieres que preparemos la cena de Pascua?
18 ―Vayan a la ciudad, a la casa de quien ya saben, y díganle que mi tiempo está cerca y que deseo celebrar la Pascua en su casa, con mis discípulos.
19 Los discípulos obedecieron y prepararon allá la cena.
20-21 Aquella noche, mientras comía con los doce, dijo:
―Uno de ustedes me va a traicionar.
22 Entristecidos, cada uno de los discípulos le fue preguntando:
―¿Seré yo, Señor?
23 Y él fue respondiendo a cada uno:
―Es el que va a comer conmigo en el mismo plato. 24 Es cierto, voy a morir como está profetizado, pero pobre del hombre que me traiciona. Habría sido mejor si no hubiera nacido.
25 Judas se le acercó también y le preguntó:
―¿Soy yo, Maestro?
―Sí. Tú lo has dicho.
26 Mientras comían, Jesús tomó un pedazo de pan, lo bendijo, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos.
―Tomen. Cómanlo; esto es mi cuerpo.
27 Tomó luego una copa de vino, la bendijo y también la dio a sus discípulos.
―Beban esto, 28 porque esto es mi sangre que sella el nuevo pacto. Mi sangre se derramará para perdonar con ella los pecados de infinidad de personas. 29 Recuerden: No volveré a beber de este vino hasta el día en que beba con ustedes del nuevo vino en el reino de mi Padre.
30 Después de estas palabras, cantaron un himno y se fueron al monte de los Olivos.
Jesús predice la negación de pedro
31 Allí Jesús les dijo:
―Esta noche ustedes se alejarán de mí desilusionados, porque las Escrituras dicen que Dios herirá al pastor y las ovejas del rebaño se dispersarán. 32 Pero después que resucite, iré a Galilea a encontrarme con ustedes.
33 ―Aunque los demás te abandonen, yo jamás te abandonaré —le dijo Pedro.
34 ―Pedro —le respondió Jesús—, te aseguro que esta noche, antes que el gallo cante, me negarás tres veces.
35 ―¡Aunque me cueste la vida, no te negaré! —insistió Pedro.
Y los demás discípulos dijeron lo mismo.
Jesús en Getsemaní
36 Entonces se los llevó al huerto de Getsemaní, y les pidió que se sentaran y lo esperaran mientras entraba al huerto a orar. 37 Entró con Pedro y los dos hijos de Zebedeo (Jacobo y Juan). Ya a solas los cuatro, se fue llenando de indescriptible tristeza y de profunda angustia.
38 «Tengo el alma llena de tristeza y angustia mortal. Quédense aquí conmigo. No se duerman».
39 Se apartó un poco, se postró rostro en tierra y oró:
«Padre mío, si es posible, aparta de mí esta copa. Pero hágase lo que tú quieres y no lo que quiera yo».
40 Cuando fue adonde había dejado a los tres discípulos, los halló dormidos.
«Pedro —dijo—, ¿no pudieron quedarse despiertos conmigo ni siquiera una hora? 41 Manténganse despiertos y oren, para que la tentación no los venza. Porque es cierto que el espíritu está dispuesto, pero la carne es débil».
42 Y se apartó de nuevo a orar:
«Padre mío, si no puedes apartar de mí esta copa, hágase tu voluntad».
43 Se volvió de nuevo a ellos y los halló dormidos por segunda vez. ¡Tan agotados estaban! 44 Entonces regresó a orar por tercera vez la misma oración. 45 Cuando volvió a los discípulos les dijo:
«Duerman, descansen…, pero no, ha llegado la hora. Me van a entregar en manos de los pecadores. 46 Levántense, vámonos. El traidor se acerca».
Arresto de Jesús
47 No había terminado de pronunciar estas palabras cuando Judas, uno de los doce, se acercó al frente de una turba armada con espadas y palos. Iban en nombre de los líderes judíos y 48 esperaban solamente que Judas identificara con un beso al Maestro. 49 Sin pérdida de tiempo, el traidor se acercó a Jesús.
―Hola, Maestro —le dijo, y lo besó.
50 ―Amigo, haz lo que viniste a hacer —le respondió Jesús.
En el instante en que prendían a Jesús, 51 uno de los que lo acompañaban sacó una espada y de un tajo le arrancó la oreja a un siervo del sumo sacerdote.
52 ―¡Guarda esa espada! —le ordenó Jesús—. El que mata a espada, a espada perecerá. 53 ¿No sabes que podría pedirle a mi Padre que me enviara doce mil ángeles y me los enviaría al instante? 54 Pero si lo hiciera, ¿cómo se cumplirían las Escrituras que describen lo que ahora mismo está aconteciendo?
55 Luego dijo a la turba:
―¿Soy acaso un asesino tan peligroso que tienen que venir con espadas y palos a arrestarme? Todos estos días he estado enseñando en el templo y no me detuvieron. 56 Pero esto sucede para que se cumplan las predicciones de los profetas en las Escrituras.
Los discípulos huyeron y lo dejaron solo.
Jesús ante el Consejo
57 Condujeron a Jesús a casa de Caifás, el sumo sacerdote, donde se encontraban reunidos los jefes judíos. 58 Pedro lo siguió de lejos, llegó hasta el patio del sumo sacerdote y se sentó entre los soldados a esperar el desarrollo de los acontecimientos.
59 Los principales sacerdotes y la corte suprema judía, reunidos allí, se pusieron a buscar falsos testigos que les permitieran formular cargos contra Jesús que merecieran pena de muerte. 60 Pero aunque muchos ofrecieron sus falsos testimonios, estos siempre resultaban contradictorios. Finalmente, dos individuos 61 declararon:
―Este hombre dijo que era capaz de destruir el templo de Dios y reconstruirlo en tres días.
62 El sumo sacerdote, al oír aquello, se puso de pie y le dijo a Jesús:
―Muy bien, ¿qué respondes a esta acusación? ¿Dijiste eso o no lo dijiste? 63 Jesús no le respondió.
―Demando en el nombre del Dios viviente que nos digas si eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios —insistió el sumo sacerdote.
64 ―Sí —le respondió Jesús—. Soy el Mesías. Y un día me verás a mí, el Hijo del hombre, sentado a la derecha de Dios y regresando en las nubes del cielo.
65-66 ―¡Blasfemia! —gritó el sumo sacerdote, rasgándose la ropa—. ¿Qué más testigos necesitamos? ¡Él mismo lo ha confesado! ¿Cuál es el veredicto de ustedes?
―¡Que muera!, ¡que muera! —le respondieron.
67 Entonces le escupieron el rostro, lo golpearon y lo abofetearon.
68 ―A ver, Mesías, ¡profetiza! —se burlaban—. ¿Quién te acaba de golpear?
Pedro niega a Jesús
69 Mientras Pedro estaba en el patio, una muchacha se le acercó y le dijo:
―Tú también andabas con Jesús el galileo.
70 ―No sé de qué estás hablando —le respondió Pedro enojado.
71 Más tarde, a la salida, otra mujer lo vio y dijo a los que lo rodeaban:
―Ese hombre andaba con Jesús el nazareno.
72 Esta vez, Pedro juró que no lo conocía y que ni siquiera había oído hablar de él. 73 Pero al poco rato se le acercaron los que por allí andaban y le dijeron:
―No puedes negar que eres uno de los discípulos de ese hombre. ¡Hasta tu manera de hablar te delata!
74 Por respuesta, Pedro se puso a maldecir y a jurar que no lo conocía. Pero mientras hablaba, el gallo cantó 75 y le hizo recordar las palabras de Jesús: «Antes que el gallo cante, me negarás tres veces».
Y corrió afuera a llorar amargamente.
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.
