²⁸ · kai Having said legō these houtos things , he went poreuō on ahead emprosthen, going anabainō up to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma.

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 And kai when hote the ho hour hōra came ginomai, Jesus reclined anapiptō at table and kai the ho apostles apostolos were with syn him autos. ¹⁵ · kai He said legō to pros them autos, “ With great desire epithumia I desired epithumeō to eat esthiō this houtos · ho Passover pascha with meta you hymeis before pro · ho I egō suffer paschō! ¹⁶ For gar I say legō to you hymeis that hoti I will certainly not ou eat esthiō it autos again until heōs it hostis is fulfilled plēroō in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos.” ¹⁷ Then kai he took dechomai a cup potērion, and after he had given eucharisteō thanks he said legō, “ Take lambanō this houtos and kai divide diamerizō it among eis yourselves heautou. ¹⁸ For gar I say legō to you hymeis that hoti from apo now nyn on I shall certainly not ou drink pinō · ho of apo the ho fruit genēma of the ho vine ampelos until heōs hos the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos comes erchomai.” ¹⁹ Then kai taking lambanō bread artos and giving eucharisteō thanks he broke klaō it and kai gave didōmi it to them autos, saying legō, “ This houtos is eimi · ho my egō body sōma, which ho is given didōmi for hyper you hymeis; do poieō this houtos in eis · ho remembrance anamnēsis of me emos.” ²⁰ And kai he did the same hōsautōs with the ho cup potērion after meta · ho they had eaten deipneō, saying legō, “ This houtos · ho cup potērion is the ho new kainos covenant diathēkē in en · ho my egō blood haima, which ho on your hymeis behalf hyper is being poured ekchunnomai out .

²¹ “ But plēn see idou, the ho hand cheir of the ho one who will betray paradidōmi me egō is with meta me egō on epi the ho table trapeza. ²² For hoti the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos goes poreuō according kata to what ho has been determined horizō, but plēn woe ouai to ho that ekeinos man anthrōpos by dia whom hos he is betrayed paradidōmi.” ²³ And kai they autos began archō to question syzēteō among pros one heautou another , · ho which tis of ek them autos it might be eimi who ho would mellō do prassō this houtos.

²⁴ A dispute philoneikia also kai arose ginomai · de among en them autos as to ho which tis of them autos seemed dokeō to be eimi the greatest megas. ²⁵ So de Jesus ho said legō to them autos, “ The ho kings basileus of the ho nations ethnos exercise lordship kyrieuō over them autos and kai those ho in authority exousiazō over them autos call themselves kaleō ‘ benefactors euergetēs.’ ²⁶ But de with you hymeis it must not ou be so houtōs! Rather alla, let the ho greatest megas among en you hymeis become ginomai like hōs the ho youngest neos, and kai the ho leader hēgeomai like hōs the ho one who serves diakoneō. ²⁷ For gar who tis is the greater megas, the ho one who reclines anakeimai at table or ē the ho one who serves diakoneō? Is it not ouchi the ho one who reclines anakeimai at table ? But de in en your hymeis midst mesos I egō am eimi like hōs the ho one who serves diakoneō. ²⁸ You hymeis · de are eimi the ho ones who have stayed diamenō with meta me egō in en · ho my egō trials peirasmos. ²⁹ Just as kathōs my egō Father patēr conferred diatithēmi on me egō kingly authority basileia, so also kagō do I confer diatithēmi it on you hymeis, · ho ³⁰ that hina you may eat esthiō and kai drink pinō at epi · ho my egō table trapeza in en · ho my egō kingdom basileia and kai sit kathēmai on epi thrones thronos judging krinō the ho twelve dōdeka tribes phylē of ho Israel Israēl.

³¹ Simon Simōn, Simon Simōn! Pay attention idou! · ho Satan Satanas has demanded permission exaiteō to have all of you hymeis for himself , to ho sift siniazō you like hōs · ho wheat sitos, ³² but de I egō have prayed deomai for peri you sy that hina your sy faith pistis may not mē fail ekleipō. · ho And kai when pote you sy have returned epistrephō, strengthen stērizō · ho your sy brothers adelphos.” ³³ Peter ho · de said legō to him autos, “ Lord kyrios, I am eimi ready hetoimos to go poreuō with meta you sy both kai to eis prison phylakē and kai to eis death thanatos.” ³⁴ Jesus ho · de said legō, “ I tell legō you sy, Peter Petros, a rooster alektōr will not ou crow phōneō this day sēmeron before heōs you have denied aparneomai three tris times that you know oida me egō.”

³⁵ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ When hote I sent apostellō you hymeis out without ater moneybag ballantion or kai knapsack pēra or kai sandals hypodēma, did you lack hystereō anything tis?” They ho · de replied legō, “ Nothing outheis.” ³⁶ He said legō · de to them autos, “ But alla now nyn let the ho one who has echō a moneybag ballantion take airō it, and likewise homoiōs · kai a knapsack pēra. And kai the ho one who has echō no mē sword machaira, let him sell pōleō · ho his autos cloak himation and kai buy agorazō one. ³⁷ For gar I tell legō you hymeis that hoti there must dei be fulfilled teleō in en me egō this houtos that ho stands written graphō: · ho ‘ And kai he was numbered logizomai with meta the lawless anomos.’ And gar indeed kai, that ho which concerns peri me egō has echō its fulfillment telos.” ³⁸ So de they ho said legō, “ Lord kyrios, look idou! Here hōde are two dyo swords machaira.” Then de he ho told legō them autos, “ It is eimi enough hikanos.”

³⁹ Then kai Jesus went exerchomai out and made poreuō his way , as kata was his ho custom ethos, to eis the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia; and de the ho disciples mathētēs followed akoloutheō him autos. · kai ⁴⁰ When he arrived ginomai · de at epi the ho place topos, he said legō to them autos, “ Pray proseuchomai that you may not mē enter eiserchomai a time of trial peirasmos.” ⁴¹ Then kai he autos withdrew apospaō from apo them autos about hōsei a stone’ s lithos throw bolē, knelt down tithēmi · ho and kai began to pray proseuchomai, ⁴² saying legō, “ Father patēr, if ei you are willing boulomai, take parapherō this houtos · ho cup potērion away from apo me egō. Yet plēn, not mē · ho my egō will thelēma, but alla · ho yours sos be done ginomai.” ⁴³ And de there appeared horaō to him autos an angel angelos from apo heaven ouranos, strengthening enischuō him autos. ⁴⁴ And kai being ginomai in en agony agōnia he prayed proseuchomai more earnestly ektenōs; and kai his autos · ho sweat hidrōs became ginomai like hōsei great drops thrombos of blood haima falling down katabainō to epi the ho ground gē. ⁴⁵ · kai When he rose anistēmi from apo · ho prayer proseuchē, he went erchomai back to pros the ho disciples mathētēs and found heuriskō them autos sleeping koimaō from apo · ho grief lypē. ⁴⁶ · kai He said legō to them autos, “ Why tis are you sleeping katheudō? Rise anistēmi and pray proseuchomai that hina you may not mē enter eiserchomai a time of trial peirasmos.”

⁴⁷ While he autos was still eti speaking laleō, there idou came a crowd ochlos, and kai the ho one called legō Judas Ioudas, one heis of the ho twelve dōdeka, was coming proerchomai on ahead of them autos. · kai He went engizō up to ho Jesus Iēsous to kiss phileō him autos, ⁴⁸ but de Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, “ Judas Ioudas, is it with a kiss philēma that you intend to betray paradidōmi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos?” ⁴⁹ When those ho who were around peri him autos saw · de what ho was about eimi to happen , they said legō, “ Lord kyrios, shall ei we strike patassō with en the sword machaira?” ⁵⁰ And kai a certain tis one heis of ek them autos struck patassō the ho servant of the ho high archiereus priest and kai cut aphaireō off · ho his autos right dexios ear ous. · ho ⁵¹ In response apokrinomai · de · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ Stop eaō! No heōs more of this houtos.” And kai touching haptō the ho ear ōtion, he healed iaomai it autos. ⁵² Then de Jesus Iēsous said legō to pros those ho who had come paraginomai out against epi him autos—the chief archiereus priests and kai officers stratēgos of the ho temple hieron and kai elders presbyteros, “Why did you come out exerchomai as hōs against epi a robber lēstēs, with meta swords machaira and kai clubs xylon? ⁵³ Day after kata day hēmera, when I egō was eimi with meta you hymeis in en the ho temple hieron, you did not ou stretch ekteinō out your ho hands cheir against epi me egō. But alla this houtos is eimi your hymeis · ho hour hōra, and kai the hour for the ho power exousia of ho darkness skotos. ⁵⁴ Then de they seized syllambanō him autos and led agō him away , and kai brought eisagō him into eis the ho house oikia of the ho high archiereus priest . · ho · de Peter Petros was following akoloutheō at a distance makrothen. ⁵⁵ Some people had kindled periaptō · de a fire pyr in en the middle mesos of the ho courtyard aulē and kai sat synkathizō down together . Peter Petros sat kathēmai down · ho among mesos them autos. ⁵⁶ Seeing · de him autos sitting kathēmai at pros the ho fire phōs, a certain tis servant paidiskē girl · kai looked atenizō at him autos intently and said legō, “ This man houtos also kai was eimi with syn him autos.” ⁵⁷ But de he ho denied arneomai it, saying legō, “ Woman gynē, I do not ou know oida him autos!” ⁵⁸ · kai After meta a little brachus while someone else heteros noticed him autos and said phēmi, “ You sy also kai are eimi one of ek them autos.” · ho But de Peter Petros said phēmi, “ Man anthrōpos, I am eimi not ou!” ⁵⁹ Then kai after about hōsei an heis hour hōra had passed diistēmi a certain tis other allos person kept insisting diischurizomai, saying legō, “ Surely epi alētheia this person houtos also kai was eimi with meta him autos, for gar he eimi too kai is eimi a Galilean Galilaios.” ⁶⁰ But de Peter Petros said legō, · ho “ Man anthrōpos, I do not ou know oida what hos you are talking legō about .” And kai immediately parachrēma, while he autos was still eti speaking laleō, the rooster alektōr crowed phōneō. ⁶¹ Then kai the ho Lord kyrios turned strephō and looked emblepō at ho Peter Petros, and kai Peter Petros remembered hypomimnēskō · ho the ho word rhēma of the ho Lord kyrios that hōs he had said legō to him autos, “ Before prin the rooster alektōr crows phōneō today sēmeron, you will deny aparneomai me egō three tris times .” ⁶² And kai he went exerchomai out exō and wept klaiō bitterly pikrōs.

⁶³ Now kai the ho men anēr who ho were holding synechō Jesus autos in custody began to mock empaizō him autos and beat derō him, ⁶⁴ and kai blindfolding perikalyptō him autos they kept asking eperōtaō, “ Tell prophēteuō us, who tis is eimi it that ho struck paiō you sy?” ⁶⁵ · kai They legō also said legō to eis him autos many polys other heteros blasphemous blasphēmeō things .

⁶⁶ And kai when hōs day hēmera came ginomai, the ho council of elders presbyterion of the ho people laos was assembled synagō, both te chief archiereus priests and kai scribes grammateus, and kai they had Jesus autos brought apagō into eis · ho their autos council synedrion chamber ⁶⁷ and said legō, “ If ei you sy are eimi the ho Messiah Christos, tell legō us hēmeis.” But de he said legō to them autos, “ If ean I tell legō you hymeis, you will not ou mē believe pisteuō, ⁶⁸ and de if ean I question erōtaō you, you will not ou mē answer apokrinomai. ⁶⁹ But de from apo · ho now nyn on the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos shall be eimi seated kathēmai at ek the right dexios hand of the ho power dynamis of ho God theos.” ⁷⁰ They all pas said legō, · de “ Are eimi you sy, then oun, the ho Son hyios of ho God theos?” And de he ho said phēmi to pros them autos, “ You hymeis say legō that hoti I egō am eimi.” ⁷¹ Then de they ho said legō, “ What tis further eti need chreia do we have echō of a witness martyria? For gar we have heard akouō it ourselves autos from apo · ho his own autos lips stoma.”

23 Then kai the ho whole hapas assembly plēthos of them autos rose anistēmi up and brought agō Jesus autos before epi · ho Pilate Pilatos. ² And de they began archō to accuse katēgoreō him autos, saying legō, “ We found heuriskō this houtos man trying to mislead diastrephō · ho our hēmeis nation ethnos, · kai opposing kōlyō the payment didōmi of taxes phoros to Caesar Kaisar, and kai claiming legō himself heautou to be eimi Christ Christos, a king basileus.” ³ · ho So de Pilate Pilatos asked erōtaō Jesus autos, saying legō, “ Are eimi you sy the ho king basileus of the ho Jews Ioudaios?” In response apokrinomai Jesus ho · de said phēmi to him autos, “ You sy say legō so.” ⁴ · ho Then de Pilate Pilatos said legō to pros the ho chief archiereus priests and kai the ho crowds ochlos, “ I find heuriskō no oudeis basis for a charge aitios against en · ho this houtos man anthrōpos.” ⁵ But de they ho kept insisting epischuō, saying legō, “ He stirs anaseiō up the ho people laos, teaching didaskō throughout kata all holos · ho Judea Ioudaia, · kai starting archō from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia even heōs to this hōde place .”

⁶ Now de when Pilate Pilatos heard akouō this, he asked eperōtaō whether ei the ho man anthrōpos was eimi a Galilean Galilaios. ⁷ · kai Learning epiginōskō that hoti he was eimi from ek · ho Herod’ s hērōdēs jurisdiction exousia, he sent anapempō him autos off to pros Herod hērōdēs, who autos was eimi also kai in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma during en those houtos · ho days hēmera. ⁸ Upon seeing Jesus Iēsous, · ho · de Herod hērōdēs · ho was very lian glad chairō, since gar for ek a long hikanos time chronos he had been eimi wanting thelō to see him autos, because dia of what ho he had heard akouō about peri him autos, and kai he was hoping elpizō to see some tis miraculous sign sēmeion done ginomai by hypo him autos. ⁹ So de Herod questioned eperōtaō him autos with en many hikanos words logos; but de Jesus autos gave him autos no oudeis answer apokrinomai, ¹⁰ even though the ho chief priests archiereus and kai the ho scribes grammateus stood histēmi by , · de vehemently eutonōs accusing katēgoreō him autos. ¹¹ Then de, when Herod hērōdēs, along with syn his autos soldiers strateuma, had treated exoutheneō him autos with contempt · kai · ho · ho and kai ridiculed empaizō him, they put periballō an elegant lampros robe esthēs on him, and sent anapempō him autos back to ho Pilate Pilatos. ¹² And de Herod hērōdēs and kai Pilate Pilatos became ginomai friends philos · ho · ho with meta each other allēlōn that en very autos · ho day hēmera, for gar before prouparchō this they had been eimi hostile en echthra toward pros each autos other .

¹³ Pilate Pilatos then de called synkaleō together the ho chief archiereus priests , · kai the ho rulers archōn, and kai the ho people laos, ¹⁴ and said legō to pros them autos, “ You brought prospherō me egō · ho this houtos man anthrōpos as hōs one who was trying apostrephō to mislead the ho people laos. And kai indeed idou, having examined anakrinō him in enōpion your hymeis presence enōpion, I egō found heuriskō no outheis basis aitios for hos your charges katēgoreō against en · ho this houtos man anthrōpos. ¹⁵ For that matter alla, neither oude did Herod hērōdēs, for gar he sent anapempō him autos back to pros us hēmeis. · kai Look idou, nothing oudeis deserving axios death thanatos has been eimi done prassō by him autos. ¹⁶ So oun I will have him autos flogged paideuō and release apolyō him.”

¹⁸ But de they cried anakrazō out together pamplēthei, saying legō, “ Take airō this houtos man away! Release apolyō · de for us hēmeis · ho Barabbas Barabbas!” ¹⁹ who hostis was eimi thrown ballō into en prison phylakē because dia of a certain tis riot stasis that had occurred ginomai in en the ho city polis and kai for murder phonos. · ho ²⁰ Once again palin · de · ho Pilate Pilatos, wanting thelō to release apolyō Jesus Iēsous, called prosphōneō out to them autos, · ho ²¹ but de they ho kept shouting epiphōneō, saying legō, “ Crucify stauroō, crucify stauroō him autos!” ²² A third time triton he ho · de spoke legō to pros them autos, “ What tis evil kakos did poieō this houtos man do?
