The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)

26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, (B)“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

(C)Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and (D)plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the (E)people.”

The Anointing at Bethany(F)

And when Jesus was in (G)Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. (H)But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 (I)For you have the poor with you always, but (J)Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My (K)burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(L)

14 (M)Then one of the twelve, called (N)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, (O)“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples(P)

17 (Q)Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “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 say to him, ‘The Teacher says, (R)“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

20 (S)When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will (T)betray Me.”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, (U)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (V)as it is written of Him, but (W)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (X)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”

He said to him, “You have said it.”

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(Y)

26 (Z)And as they were eating, (AA)Jesus took bread, [c]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; (AB)this is My body.”

27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, (AC)“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For (AD)this is My blood (AE)of the [d]new covenant, which is shed (AF)for many for the [e]remission of sins. 29 But (AG)I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on (AH)until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 (AI)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AJ)

31 Then Jesus said to them, (AK)“All of you will (AL)be [f]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:

(AM)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32 But after I have been raised, (AN)I will go before you to Galilee.”

33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [g]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”

34 Jesus said to him, (AO)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And so said all the disciples.

The Prayer in the Garden(AP)

36 (AQ)Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and (AR)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, (AS)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and (AT)prayed, saying, (AU)“O My Father, if it is possible, (AV)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (AW)not as I will, but as You will.

40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 (AX)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AY)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [h]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the 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 [i]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being (AZ)betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(BA)

47 And (BB)while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” (BC)and kissed Him.

50 But Jesus said to him, (BD)“Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, (BE)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, (BF)for all who take the sword will [j]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with (BG)more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, (BH)that it must happen thus?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the (BI)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

Then (BJ)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BK)

57 (BL)And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58 But (BM)Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, [k]the elders, and all the council sought (BN)false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 [l]but found none. Even though (BO)many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last (BP)two [m]false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This fellow said, (BQ)‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”

62 (BR)And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But (BS)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, (BT)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

64 Jesus said to him, It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, (BU)hereafter you will see the Son of Man (BV)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 (BW)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His (BX)blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”

They answered and said, (BY)“He is deserving of death.”

67 (BZ)Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and (CA)others struck Him with [n]the palms of their hands, 68 saying, (CB)“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(CC)

69 (CD)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”

70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”

71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”

73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (CE)speech betrays you.”

74 Then (CF)he began to [o]curse and [p]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (CG)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.

26 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

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,

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

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.

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

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.

Shirqoolkii Ciise Loo Dhigay(A)

26 Waxaa dhacay goortii Ciise hadalladan oo dhan dhammeeyey, inuu xertiisii ku yidhi, Waxaad og tihiin laba maalmood dabadeed inay tahay Iiddii Kormaridda, oo Wiilka Aadanaha waxaa loo gacangelinayaa in iskutallaabta lagu qodbo. Markaasaa wadaaddadii sare iyo waayeelladii dadka waxay isku urursadeen barxadda wadaadkii sare oo Kayafas la odhan jiray. Oo waxay ka wada hadleen si ay Ciise khiyaano ugu qabtaan oo ay u dilaan. Laakiin waxay yidhaahdeen, Yaanay noqon wakhtiga iidda si aan rabshad dadka uga dhex kicin.

Ciise Oo Beytaniya Lagu Subkay(B)

Ciise goortuu Beytaniya joogay oo ku jiray guriga Simoon kii baraska qabi jiray, waxaa u timid naag haysa weel [a]alabastar ah oo cadar qaali ah ku jiro, oo waxay ku shubtay madaxiisa intuu cuntada u fadhiyey. Laakiin xertu goortay arkeen, way cadhoodeen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Khasaaradanu maxay ku noqotay? Waayo, kan waxaa lagu iibin kari lahaa wax badan oo masaakiinta la siin lahaa. 10 Ciise goortuu gartay ayuu ku yidhi, Maxaad naagta u dhibaysaan? Shuqul wanaagsan ayay igu samaysaye. 11 Waayo, masaakiintu mar walba way idinla jiraan, aniguse mar walba idinlama joogo. 12 Waxay cadarkan jidhkayga ugu shubtay inay aasniintayda ii diyaargarayso. 13 Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Dunida oo dhan meel alla meeshii injiilkan lagu wacdiyo, waxay samaysay ayaa xusuusteeda lagaga hadli doonaa.

Yuudas Khiyaanadiisa(C)

Cashadii Ugu Dambaysay(D)

17 Maalintii ugu horraysay oo Iiddii Kibistii aan khamiirka lahayn xertii ayaa Ciise u timid oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Xaggee baad doonaysaa inaannu kuu diyaargarayno inaad cuntid cashada Iidda Kormaridda? 18 Wuxuu yidhi, Magaalada gala oo hebel u taga oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Macallinkii wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhtigaygii waa dhow yahay, gurigaaga ayaan cashada Iidda Kormaridda kula samaysanayaa xertayda. 19 Xertii waa samaysay sida Ciise ku amray oo cashada Iidda Kormariddii ayay diyaargareeyeen. 20 Goortii makhribkii la gaadhay, laba-iyo-tobankii xerta ahaa ayuu cunto ula fadhiistay, 21 oo intay wax cunayeen ayuu ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Midkiin ayaa i gacangelin doona. 22 Markaasay aad iyo aad u caloolxumaadeen, oo waxay bilaabeen in mid kastaa ku yidhaahdo, Ma aniga baa, Sayidow? 23 Wuu u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kii saxanka gacanta ila gesha kaasaa i gacangelin doona. 24 Wiilka Aadanahu waa baxayaa, siday u qoran tahay, laakiin hoog waxaa leh ninkaas Wiilka Aadanaha gacangelinaya. Waxaa ninkaas u wanaagsanaan lahayd inaanu dhalan. 25 Yuudas oo ah kii gacangeliyey ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Ma aniga baa, Sayidow? Wuxuu ku yidhi, Waad tidhi.

26 Oo intay wax cunayeen, Ciise ayaa kibis qaaday oo barakeeyey, wuuna jejebiyey oo xertii siiyey oo yidhi, Qaata oo cuna. Tanu waa jidhkaygiiye. 27 Kolkaasuu koobkii qaaday oo mahadnaqay oo siiyey iyaga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kulligiin ka cabba. 28 Waayo, kanu waa dhiiggayga axdiga cusub kan kuwo badan loo daadshay dembidhaafkooda aawadiis. 29 Laakiin waxaan idinku leeyahay, Hadda dabadeed anigu kama cabbi doono midhahan geedka canabka ah ilaa maalinta aan iyadoo cusub idinkula cabbayo boqortooyada Aabbahay dhexdeed.

30 Goortay gabay ammaan ah ku gabyeen waxay u baxeen Buur Saytuun.

Ciise Wuxuu Sii Sheegay Xertiisa Ka Tegiddooda(E)

31 Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Caawa kulligiin waa iga xumaan doontaan, waayo, waxaa qoran, Adhijirkaan dili doonaa oo idaha foofka ahu waa kala firdhi doonaan. 32 Laakiin markii kuwii dhintay layga sara kiciyo, dabadeed ayaan Galili hortiin tegi doonaa. 33 Laakiin Butros ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Hadday kulli kaa xumaadaan, anigu weligay kaa xumaan maayo. 34 Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan kugu leeyahay, Caawa qudheeda intaan diiqu ciyin, saddex kol ayaad i dafiri doontaa. 35 Butros wuxuu ku yidhi, In kastoo aan leeyahay inaan kula dhinto, kolleyba ku dafiri maayo. Xertii oo dhammuna sidaasay wada yidhaahdeen.

Ciise Oo Beer Getsemane Ku Jiray(F)

36 Markaasaa Ciise la yimid iyaga meel Getsemane la odhan jiray, oo wuxuu xertii ku yidhi, Halkan fadhiista intii aan halkaas tegayo oo ku soo tukanayo. 37 Oo wuxuu watay Butros iyo labada wiil oo Sebedi, oo wuxuu bilaabay inuu calool xumaado oo tiiraanyoodo. 38 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Naftaydu aad bay u calool xun tahay tan iyo dhimasho; halkan jooga oo ila soo jeeda. 39 Waxoogaa ayuu hore u socday, oo wejigiisuu u dhacay oo tukaday isagoo leh, Aabbow, hadday suurtowdo, koobkanu ha i dhaafo, hase ahaatee, yaanay noqon sidaan doonayo laakiin sidaad doonaysid ha noqoto. 40 Xertii ayuu u yimid, oo wuxuu arkay iyagoo hurda, oo wuxuu Butros ku yidhi, Waa sidee? Miyaad kari weydeen inaad saacad keliya ila soo jeeddaan? 41 Soo jeeda oo tukada inaydnaan jirrabaadda gelin. Ruuxu waa diyaar, laakiin jidhku waa itaal daranyahay. 42 Haddana mar labaad ayuu tegey oo tukaday isagoo leh, Aabbow, haddii aanay suurtoobin in koobkanu i dhaafo anigoo cabba maahee, sidaad doonaysid ha noqoto. 43 Mar kale ayuu yimid oo arkay iyagoo hurda, waayo, indhahoodu lulmay la cuslaayeen. 44 Wuu iska daayay oo haddana ka tegey, oo mar saddexaad ayuu tukaday isagoo haddana hadalkii oo kale ku hadlaya. 45 Markaasuu xertii u yimid oo ku yidhi, Hadda seexda oo nasta. Bal eega, saacaddii waa dhow dahay, oo Wiilka Aadanaha ayaa dembilayaal loo gacangelinayaa. 46 Kaca aan tagnee. Eega, kii i gacangelin lahaa waa soo dhow yahay.

Ciise Waa La Qabtay(G)

47 Oo intuu weli hadlayay ayaa Yuudas oo laba-iyo-tobankii ka mid ahaa yimid, isaga iyo dad aad u badan oo seefo iyo ulo sita. Waxay ka yimaadeen wadaaddada sare iyo waayeellada dadka. 48 Kii gacangeliyey ayaa calaamo kula ballamay oo ku yidhi, Mid alla midkaan dhunkado waa isagii ee qabta. 49 Kolkiiba Ciise buu u yimid oo ku yidhi, Nabad, Macallimow; wuuna dhunkaday. 50 Kolkaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Saaxiibow, maxaad u timid? Markaasay yimaadeen, oo gacmahooda ayay Ciise saareen oo qabteen. 51 Oo bal eeg, mid ka mid ah kuwii Ciise la jiray ayaa gacanta fidiyey, oo seeftiisa soo bixiyey, oo wuxuu ku dhuftay wadaadka sare addoonkiisii, oo dheg buu ka gooyay. 52 Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi, Seeftaada meesheedii ku celi, waayo, kuwa seefo qaada oo dhammu seef bay ku halligmi doonaan. 53 Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa inaanan Aabbahay baryi karin oo uusan haddeer ii soo diri karin malaa'igo laba iyo toban guuto ka badan? 54 Haddaba sidee buu u noqon doonaa Qorniinku kan leh, Waa in sidaasu noqotaa? 55 Saacaddaas qudheeda ayaa Ciise dadkii badnaa ku yidhi, Ma waxaad iila soo baxdeen seefo iyo ulo inaad i qabataan sidaan tuug ahay? Maalin walbaba macbudka ayaan fadhiyi jiray oo wax bari jiray, imana aydnaan qabsan. 56 Laakiin waxan oo dhan ayaa noqday in qorniinka nebiyadu rumoobo. Markaasaa xertii oo dhammu ka wada tageen oo carareen.

Ciise Waxaa Lagu Xukumay Wadaadka Sare Hortiisii(H)

57 Kuwii Ciise qabtay waxay u geeyeen Kayafas oo ahaa wadaadkii sare, ilaa meeshii culimmada iyo waayeelladu ku urursanaayeen. 58 Laakiin Butros baa meel fog ka soo daba socday ilaa barxadda wadaadkii sare, wuuna galay oo askartii la fadhiistay inuu ugudambaysta arko. 59 Wadaaddadii sare iyo shirkii oo dhan ayaa waxay dooneen markhaati been ah oo Ciise ka gees ah si ay u dilaan. 60 Waase heli waayeen, in kastoo markhaatiyaal badan oo been ahu yimaadeen. Laakiinse dabadeed waxaa yimid laba, 61 oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu wuxuu yidhi, Waan karayaa inan macbudka Ilaah dudumiyo oo saddex maalmood ku dhiso. 62 Markaasaa wadaadkii sare istaagay oo ku yidhi, Miyaanad waxba ka jawaabayn? Kuwanu waxay kugu marag furayaan waa maxay? 63 Laakiin Ciise waa iska aamusay. Kolkaasaa wadaadkii sare wuxuu ku yidhi, Ilaaha nool ayaan kugu dhaarinayaa ee noo sheeg inaad tahay Masiixa oo ah Wiilka Ilaah, iyo in kale. 64 Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Waad tidhi. Hase ahaatee waxaan idinku leeyahay, Hadda dabadeed waxaad arki doontaan Wiilka Aadanaha oo fadhiya midigta xoogga Ilaah oo ku imanaya daruuraha cirka. 65 Markaasaa wadaadkii sare dharkiisii jeexjeexay isagoo leh, Wuu caytamay. Maxaynu markhaatiyaal weli ugu baahan nahay? Bal eega, haddeer waad maqasheen caytanka. 66 Maxay idinla tahay? Way u jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Wuxuu istaahilaa dhimasho. 67 Markaasay wejiga kaga candhuufeen oo garaaceen. Qaarna waa dharbaaxeen, 68 oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Noo sheeg, Masiixow. Yuu yahay kan kugu dhuftay?

Butros Baa Dafiray Ciise(I)

69 Butros wuxuu fadhiyey barxadda dibadda ah, markaasaa gabadh u timid oo waxay ku tidhi, Adiguna waxaad la jirtay Ciisihii reer Galili. 70 Laakiin dhammaantood ayuu ku hor dafiray oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu garan maayo waxaad leedahay. 71 Goortuu iridda tegey mid kale ayaa aragtay, oo waxay kuwii halkaas joogay ku tidhi, Kanu wuxuu la jiray Ciisihii reer Naasared. 72 Haddana dhaar ayuu ku dafiray oo yidhi, Anigu garan maayo ninka. 73 Waxoogaa yar dabadeed kuwii ag taagnaa ayaa u yimid oo Butros ku yidhi, Run weeye, adiguna midkood baad tahay, waayo, hadalkaaga ayaa ku muujinaya. 74 Markaasuu bilaabay inuu caytamo oo ku dhaarto inaanu ninka garanayn. Kolkiiba diiqii baa ciyey. 75 Markaasaa Butros wuxuu xusuustay hadalkii Ciise ku hadlay, Diiqu intaanu ciyin saddex goor ayaad i dafiri doontaa. Markaasuu baxay oo aad u ooyay.

  1. Matayos 26:7

The Plot to Kill Jesus

26 [a](A)Now it happened that when Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, (B)You know that after two days (C)the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be (D)delivered over for crucifixion.”

(E)Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in (F)the court of the high priest, named (G)Caiaphas; and they (H)plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. But they were saying, “Not during the festival, (I)lest a riot occur among the people.”

The Costly Perfume

(J)Now when Jesus was in (K)Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, (L)a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good work to Me. 11 For you always have (M)the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it (N)to prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, (O)wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

Judas Looks to Betray Jesus

14 (P)Then one of the twelve, named (Q)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me [b]to (R)deliver Him to you?” And (S)they weighed out [c]thirty pieces of silver to him. 16 And from then on he began looking for a good opportunity to [d]betray [e]Jesus.

The Passover Meal

17 (T)Now on the first day of (U)Unleavened Bread the disciples came 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 (V)a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “(W)My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

20 (X)Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 And as they were eating, He said, (Y)Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” 22 And being deeply grieved, they [f]each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 And He answered and said, (Z)He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man is going, (AA)just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (AB)It would have been good [g]for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And (AC)Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Surely not I, (AD)Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, (AE)You yourself said it.”

The Lord’s Supper

26 (AF)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and [h](AG)after a blessing, He broke it. And giving it to the disciples, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for (AH)this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for (AI)many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 (AJ)And after singing a hymn, they went out to (AK)the Mount of Olives.

31 Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all [i](AL)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘(AM)I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be (AN)scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, (AO)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33 But Peter answered and said to Him, “Even though all may [j]fall away because of You, I will never fall away.” 34 Jesus said to him, (AP)Truly I say to you that (AQ)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35 Peter *said to Him, “(AR)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You.” All the disciples said the same thing too.

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

36 (AS)Then Jesus *came with them to a place called (AT)Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took with Him (AU)Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, (AV)My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and (AW)keep watch with Me.”

39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let (AX)this cup pass from Me; (AY)yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not (AZ)keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 (BA)Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; (BB)the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this (BC)cannot pass away unless I drink it, (BD)Your will be done.” 43 And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, [k]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, (BE)the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us go; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 (BF)And while He was still speaking, behold, (BG)Judas, one of the twelve, came up, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” 49 And immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Greetings, (BH)Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50 And Jesus said to him, (BI)Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

51 And behold, (BJ)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew out his (BK)sword and struck the (BL)slave of the high priest and [l]cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for (BM)all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve [m](BN)legions of (BO)angels? 54 Therefore, how will (BP)the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”

55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? (BQ)Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this has taken place in order that (BR)the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

Jesus Before Caiaphas

57 (BS)Now those who had seized Jesus led Him away to (BT)Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But (BU)Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the (BV)courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the [n](BW)officers to see the outcome.

59 Now the chief priests and the whole (BX)Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. 60 And they did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on (BY)two came forward, 61 and said, “This man stated, ‘(BZ)I am able to destroy the [o]sanctuary of God and to rebuild it [p]in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What are these men testifying against You?” 63 But (CA)Jesus kept silent. (CB)And the high priest said to Him, “(CC)I put You under oath by (CD)the living God, that You tell us whether You are the [q]Christ, (CE)the Son of God.” 64 Jesus *said to him, (CF)You yourself said it; nevertheless I tell you, [r]hereafter you will see (CG)the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and (CH)coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 Then the high priest (CI)tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; 66 what do you think?” They answered and said, “(CJ)He deserves death!”

67 (CK)Then they (CL)spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others [s]slapped Him, 68 and said, “(CM)Prophesy to us, O [t]Christ; who is the one who hit You?”

Peter’s Denials

69 (CN)Now Peter was sitting outside in the (CO)courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Surely you too are one of them; (CP)for even the way you talk [u]gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, (CQ)Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and cried bitterly.
