21 Now kai when hote they drew engizō near to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma and kai came erchomai to eis Bethphage Bēthphagē, to eis the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia, then tote Jesus Iēsous sent apostellō two dyo disciples mathētēs, ² saying legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō into eis the ho village kōmē · ho ahead katenanti of you hymeis, and kai right eutheōs away you will find heuriskō a donkey onos tethered deō, and kai a colt pōlos with meta her autos. Untie lyō them and bring agō them to me egō. ³ · kai If ean anyone tis says legō anything tis to you hymeis, you are to say legō, ‘ The ho Lord kyrios has echō need chreia of them autos.’ And de he will send apostellō them autos at once.” ⁴ This houtos · de took ginomai place in hina order that what ho had been spoken legō by dia the ho prophet prophētēs might be fulfilled plēroō, saying legō, ⁵ “ Say legō to the ho daughter thugatēr of Zion Siōn, ‘ Behold idou, · ho your sy king basileus is coming erchomai to you sy, humble praus and kai mounted epibainō on epi a donkey onos, and kai on epi a colt pōlos, the foal hyios of a beast hypozygion of burden .’”

⁶ So de the ho disciples mathētēs went poreuō and kai did poieō as kathōs Jesus Iēsous had instructed syntassō them autos. · ho ⁷ They brought agō the ho donkey onos and kai the ho colt pōlos, and kai placed epitithēmi their ho cloaks himation on epi them autos; and kai he sat epikathizō on epanō them autos. ⁸ · ho · de A very large polys crowd ochlos spread strōnnyō their heautou · ho cloaks himation on en the ho road hodos, while de others allos cut koptō branches klados from apo · ho trees dendron and kai spread strōnnyō them on en the ho road hodos. ⁹ The ho · de crowds ochlos that ho went proagō before him autos and kai those ho that followed akoloutheō were shouting krazō, “ Hosanna hōsanna to the ho Son hyios of David Dauid! Blessed eulogeō is he ho who comes erchomai in en the name onoma of the Lord kyrios! Hosanna hōsanna in en the ho highest hypsistos!” ¹⁰ And kai when he autos entered eiserchomai Jerusalem Hierosolyma, the ho whole pas city polis was seiō in turmoil , asking legō, “ Who tis is eimi this houtos?” ¹¹ And de the ho crowds ochlos said legō, “ This houtos is eimi the ho prophet prophētēs, Jesus Iēsous · ho from apo Nazareth Nazareth of ho Galilee Galilaia.”

⁵ Your hymeis attitude phroneō toward one another should be the same houtos as kai that hos of en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous, ⁶ who hos, although he was hyparchō in en the form morphē of God theos, did hēgeomai not ou regard hēgeomai equality isos with God theos a thing to be eimi grasped harpagmos, ⁷ but alla emptied kenoō himself heautou, taking on lambanō the form morphē of a servant, being born ginomai in en the likeness homoiōma of man anthrōpos. And kai being found heuriskō in appearance schēma as hōs a man anthrōpos ⁸ he humbled tapeinoō himself heautou, becoming ginomai obedient hypēkoos to the point mechri of death thanatos, even de death thanatos on a cross stauros! ⁹ Therefore dio · kai · ho God theos has highly exalted hyperypsoō him autos and kai bestowed charizomai on him autos the ho name onoma that ho is above hyper every pas name onoma, ¹⁰ so that hina at en the ho name onoma of Jesus Iēsous every pas knee gony should bow kamptō, in heaven epouranios, and kai on earth epigeios and kai under the earth katachthonios, ¹¹ and kai every pas tongue glōssa confess exomologeomai that hoti Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos is Lord kyrios, to eis the glory doxa of God theos the Father patēr.

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. Look idou, here engizō comes · ho my egō betrayer paradidōmi.”

⁴⁷ · kai While he autos was still eti speaking laleō, Judas Ioudas, one heis of the ho twelve dōdeka, arrived erchomai · kai accompanied by meta a large polys crowd ochlos from apo the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the elders presbyteros of the ho people laos, armed with meta swords machaira and kai clubs xylon. ⁴⁸ The ho · de betrayer paradidōmi had given didōmi them autos a sign sēmeion, saying legō, “The one hos I will kiss phileō, he autos is eimi the one; seize krateō him autos.” ⁴⁹ · kai Without hesitation eutheōs Judas went proserchomai up to ho Jesus Iēsous and said legō, “ Greetings chairō, Rabbi rhabbi!” and kai kissed kataphileō him autos. ⁵⁰ · ho · de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, “ Comrade hetairos, do what epi hos you came pareimi to do.” Then tote they came proserchomai forward , laid epiballō · ho hands cheir on epi · ho Jesus Iēsous and kai took krateō him autos into custody. ⁵¹ But kai one heis of those ho with meta Jesus Iēsous stretched ekteinō out his ho hand cheir, drew apospaō · ho his autos sword machaira, and kai struck patassō the ho slave of the ho high archiereus priest , cutting aphaireō off his autos · ho ear ōtion. ⁵² Then tote Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “ Put apostrephō · ho your sy sword machaira back into eis · ho its autos place topos! For gar all pas who ho draw lambanō the sword machaira will die apollymi by en the sword machaira. ⁵³ Or ē do you think dokeō that hoti I cannot ou ask parakaleō of · ho my egō Father patēr, and kai he will immediately arti place paristēmi at my egō disposal more polys than twelve dōdeka legions legiōn of angels angelos? ⁵⁴ But how pōs then oun would the ho scriptures graphē be fulfilled plēroō that hoti say it must dei happen ginomai in this way houtōs?” ⁵⁵ At en that ekeinos · ho time hōra Jesus Iēsous said legō · ho to the ho crowds ochlos, “ Have you come out exerchomai with meta swords machaira and kai clubs xylon to capture syllambanō me egō as though hōs I were a robber lēstēs? Every kata day hēmera I sat kathezomai in en the ho temple hieron teaching didaskō, and kai you did not ou arrest krateō me egō. ⁵⁶ But de all holos this houtos has happened ginomai that hina the ho writings graphē of the ho prophets prophētēs might be fulfilled plēroō.” Then tote the ho disciples mathētēs all pas deserted aphiēmi him autos and ran pheugō away .

⁵⁷ Then de the ho men who had laid krateō hold of · ho Jesus Iēsous took apagō him to pros Caiaphas Kaiaphas, the ho high archiereus priest , where hopou the ho scribes grammateus and kai the ho elders presbyteros were gathered synagō. ⁵⁸ · ho And de Peter Petros followed akoloutheō him autos at apo a distance makrothen, up heōs to the ho courtyard aulē of the ho high archiereus priest ; then kai going eiserchomai inside esō he sat kathēmai down with meta the ho guards hypēretēs to see the ho end telos.

⁵⁹ Now de the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the ho entire holos Sanhedrin synedrion were looking zēteō for false pseudomartyria testimony against kata · ho Jesus Iēsous so hopōs they could put him autos to death thanatoō, ⁶⁰ but kai they found heuriskō none ou, even though many polys false witnesses pseudomartys came proserchomai forward . Finally hysteros · de two dyo came proserchomai forward ⁶¹ and declared legō, “ This houtos man said phēmi, ‘ I am able dynamai to destroy katalyō the ho temple naos of ho God theos and kai rebuild oikodomeō it in dia three treis days hēmera.’” ⁶² And kai the ho high priest archiereus stood anistēmi up and said legō to him autos, “ Have you no oudeis answer apokrinomai to the charge tis these houtos men are bringing against katamartyreō you sy?” ⁶³ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous remained silent siōpaō. Then kai the ho high archiereus priest said legō to him autos, “ I put exorkizō you sy under oath by kata the ho living zaō God theos, · ho tell legō us hēmeis if ei you sy are eimi the ho Messiah Christos, the ho Son hyios of ho God theos.” ⁶⁴ Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “It is as you sy have said legō. Yet plēn I tell legō you hymeis, from apo now arti on you will see horaō the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos sitting kathēmai at ek the right dexios hand of The ho Power dynamis and kai coming erchomai on epi the ho clouds nephelē of ho heaven ouranos.” ⁶⁵ Then tote the ho high archiereus priest tore · ho his autos robes himation and said legō, “ He has blasphemed blasphēmeō! What tis further eti need chreia do we have echō of witnesses martys? You have now nyn heard akouō his ho blasphemy blasphēmia. ⁶⁶ What tis is your hymeis verdict dokeō?” They ho · de answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “ He is eimi deserving enochos of death thanatos!” ⁶⁷ Then tote they spat emptyō in eis · ho his autos face prosōpon and kai struck kolaphizō him autos; and de some ho slapped rhapizō him, ⁶⁸ saying legō, “ Prophesy prophēteuō to us hēmeis, you messiah Christos! Who tis is eimi it that ho struck paiō you sy?”

⁶⁹ · ho Now de Peter Petros was sitting kathēmai outside exō in en the ho courtyard aulē; and kai a heis servant girl paidiskē came proserchomai up to him autos and said legō, “ You sy too kai were eimi with meta Jesus Iēsous of ho Galilee Galilaios.” ⁷⁰ But de he ho denied arneomai it before emprosthen them all pas, saying legō, “ I do not ou know oida what tis you are talking legō about .” ⁷¹ Then de he went exerchomai out into eis the ho gateway pylōn, where another allos servant girl allos saw him autos and kai said legō to those ho who were there ekei, “ This houtos man was eimi with meta Jesus Iēsous the ho Nazarene Nazōraios.” ⁷² But kai again palin he denied arneomai it with meta an oath horkos, “ I do not ou know oida the ho man anthrōpos!” ⁷³ And de after meta a little while mikros those ho standing around histēmi came proserchomai up to ho Peter Petros and said legō, “ Surely alēthōs you sy too kai are eimi one of ek them autos, · kai for gar the ho way you sy talk lalia makes poieō it clear dēlos.” ⁷⁴ Then tote he began archō to invoke curses katathematizō on himself and kai swear omnyō to them, “ I do not ou know oida that ho man anthrōpos!” And kai immediately eutheōs the rooster alektōr crowed phōneō. ⁷⁵ Then kai Peter Petros remembered mimnēskomai · ho · ho what rhēma Jesus Iēsous had said legō, “ Before prin the rooster alektōr crows phōneō, you will deny aparneomai me egō three tris times .” And kai he went exerchomai outside exō and wept klaiō bitterly pikrōs.

27 Early prōia in the morning , · de all pas the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the ho elders presbyteros of the ho people laos laid lambanō plans symboulion against kata · ho Jesus Iēsous, how hōste they might put thanatoō him autos to death . ² And kai when they had bound deō him autos, they led apagō him away and kai turned paradidōmi him over to Pilate Pilatos the ho governor hēgemōn.

³ Then tote when Judas Ioudas, his autos betrayer paradidōmi, saw · ho that hoti Jesus was condemned katakrinō, he was filled metamelomai with remorse and brought strephō the ho thirty triakonta silver argyrion coins back to the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai elders presbyteros, ⁴ saying legō, “ I have sinned hamartanō; I betrayed paradidōmi innocent athōos blood haima.” But de they ho said legō, “ What tis is that to pros us hēmeis? It is your sy responsibility horaō!” ⁵ Then kai he threw rhiptō the ho silver argyrion coins into eis the ho temple naos and left anachōreō; and kai going aperchomai away , he hanged apanchō himself . ⁶ But de the ho ruling archiereus priests , picking lambanō up the ho coins argyrion, said legō, “It is not ou lawful to put ballō these autos into eis the ho treasury korbanas, since epei it is eimi blood haima money timē.” ⁷ So de they consulted lambanō with one another symboulion and with ek the money autos bought agorazō the ho potter’ s kerameus field agros · ho as eis a place taphē to bury · ho foreigners xenos. ⁸ Therefore dio that ekeinos field agros has been called kaleō · ho the “ Field agros of Blood haima” to heōs this ho very day sēmeron. ⁹ Then tote was fulfilled plēroō that ho which was spoken legō by dia the ho prophet prophētēs Jeremiah Ieremias, saying legō, · kai “ They took lambanō the ho thirty triakonta silver argyrion coins , the ho price timē of ho him timaō on whom hos a price had been set timaō by apo some of the sons hyios of Israel Israēl, ¹⁰ and kai they gave didōmi them autos for eis the ho potter’ s kerameus field agros · ho as katha the Lord kyrios directed syntassō me egō.”

¹¹ · ho Then de Jesus Iēsous stood histēmi before emprosthen the ho governor hēgemōn; and kai the ho governor hēgemōn questioned eperōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Are eimi you sy the ho king basileus of the ho Jews Ioudaios?” · ho · de Jesus Iēsous said phēmi, “ You sy say legō so.” ¹² But kai when en · ho he autos was accused katēgoreō by hypo the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai elders presbyteros, he gave no oudeis answer apokrinomai. ¹³ Then tote Pilate Pilatos said legō to him autos, · ho “ Do you not ou hear akouō how posos many accusations they are bringing against katamartyreō you sy?” ¹⁴ But kai Jesus refused ou to answer apokrinomai even oude a single heis charge rhēma, so hōste that the ho governor hēgemōn was greatly lian astonished thaumazō.

¹⁵ Now de at kata festival heortē time the governor hēgemōn was accustomed eiōtha · ho to release apolyō one heis prisoner desmios for the ho crowd ochlos, whomever hos they wanted thelō. ¹⁶ At that time tote they were holding echō · de in custody a notorious episēmos prisoner desmios named legō Jesus Iēsous Barabbas Barabbas. ¹⁷ So oun when the crowd autos had gathered synagō, Pilate Pilatos said legō to them autos, · ho “ Which tis one do you want thelō me to release apolyō for you hymeis: Jesus Iēsous · ho Barabbas Barabbas, or ē Jesus Iēsous who ho is called legō Messiah Christos?” ¹⁸ For gar he knew oida that hoti it was out dia of envy phthonos that they had handed paradidōmi him autos over . ¹⁹ But de while Pilate autos was sitting kathēmai on epi the ho judgment bēma seat , his autos wife gynē sent apostellō him autos · ho a message, saying legō, “Have nothing mēdeis · kai to do with ho that ekeinos innocent dikaios man ; for gar I have suffered paschō many polys things in kata a dream onar today sēmeron on dia account of him autos.” ²⁰ But de the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the ho elders presbyteros persuaded peithō the ho crowds ochlos to hina ask aiteō for · ho Barabbas Barabbas · ho and de to have Jesus Iēsous executed apollymi. ²¹ Once again the ho governor hēgemōn asked apokrinomai · de them autos, “ Which tis of apo the ho two dyo do you want thelō me to release apolyō for you hymeis?” And de they ho said legō, · ho “ Barabbas Barabbas.” ²² Pilate Pilatos said legō to them autos, · ho “ Then oun what tis shall I do poieō with Jesus Iēsous who ho is called legō Messiah Christos?” With one voice pas they shouted legō, “ Let him be crucified stauroō!” ²³ Pilate ho · de asked phēmi, “ But gar what tis crime kakos has he committed poieō?” But de they ho shouted krazō all the louder perissōs, “ Crucify stauroō him !” ²⁴ So de when Pilate Pilatos saw · ho that hoti he was getting ōpheleō nowhere oudeis but alla rather mallon that a riot thorybos was starting ginomai, he took lambanō water hydōr and washed aponiptō his ho hands cheir before apenanti the ho crowd ochlos, saying legō, “ I am eimi innocent athōos of apo · ho this man’ s houtos blood haima; it is your hymeis responsibility horaō.” ²⁵ And kai all pas the ho people laos answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “Let · ho his autos blood haima be on epi us hēmeis and kai on epi · ho our hēmeis children teknon!” ²⁶ Then tote he released apolyō Barabbas Barabbas for them autos, · ho · ho but de he scourged phragelloō Jesus Iēsous and handed paradidōmi him over to hina be crucified stauroō.
