| [1]Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. |
[1]And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover, |
| [2]And the high Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people. |
[2]and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people. |
| [3]Then entered Satan into Judas, who was called Iscariot, and was of the number of the twelve. |
[3]And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve, |
| [4]And he went his way, and communed with the high Priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. |
[4]and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them, |
| [5]So they were glad, and agreed to give him money. |
[5]and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money, |
| [6]And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away. |
[6]and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult. |
| [7]Â Then came the day of unleavened bread when the Passover must be sacrificed. |
[7]And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed, |
| [8]And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go, and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat it. |
[8]and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;' |
| [9]And they said to him, Where wilt thou, that we prepare it? |
[9]and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?' |
| [10]Then he said unto them, Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water: follow him into the house that he entereth in, |
[10]And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in, |
| [11]And say unto the good man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the lodging where I shall eat my Passover with my disciples? |
[11]and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat? |
| [12]Then he shall show you a great high chamber trimmed: there make it ready. |
[12]and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;' |
| [13]So they went and found as he had said unto them, and made ready the Passover. |
[13]and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover. |
| [14]And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve Apostles with him. |
[14]And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him, |
| [15]Then he said unto them, I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. |
[15]and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering, |
| [16]For I say unto you, Henceforth I will not eat of it any more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. |
[16]for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.' |
| [17]And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among you. |
[17]And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves, |
| [18]For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God be come. |
[18]for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.' |
| [19]And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he break it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in the remembrance of me. |
[19]And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye -- to remembrance of me.' |
| [20]Likewise also after supper he took the cup, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you. |
[20]In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth. |
| [21]Yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table. |
[21]`But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on the table, |
| [22]And truly the Son of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man, by whom he is betrayed. |
[22]and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.' |
| [23]Then they began to enquire among themselves which of them it should be, that should do that. |
[23]And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing. |
| [24]Â And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seem to be the greatest. |
[24]And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them is accounted to be greater. |
| [25]But he said unto them, The Kings of the Gentiles reign over them, and they that bear rule over them, are called Gracious lords. |
[25]And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors; |
| [26]But ye shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serveth. |
[26]but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering; |
| [27]For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serveth. |
[27]for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering. |
| [28]And ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. |
[28]`And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations, |
| [29]Therefore I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me, |
[29]and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom, |
| [30]That ye may eat, and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. |
[30]that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' |
| [31]Â And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired you, to winnow you as wheat. |
[31]And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, |
| [32]But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: therefore when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. |
[32]and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.' |
| [33]And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee into prison, and to death. |
[33]And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;' |
| [34]But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou hast thrice denied that thou knewest me. |
[34]and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.' |
| [35]Â And he said unto them, When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. |
[35]And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, `Nothing.' |
| [36]Then he said to them, But now he that hath a bag, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath none, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword. |
[36]Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword, |
| [37]For I say unto you, That yet the same which is written, must be performed in me, Even with the wicked was he numbered: for doubtless those things which are written of me, have an end. |
[37]for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.' |
| [38]And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. |
[38]And they said, `Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;' and he said to them, `It is sufficient.' |
| [39]Â And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the Mount of Olives: and his disciples also followed him. |
[39]And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him, |
| [40]And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. |
[40]and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.' |
| [41]And he gate himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, |
[41]And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying, |
| [42]Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. |
[42]saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me --; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' -- |
| [43]And there appeared an Angel unto him from heaven, comforting him. |
[43]And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him; |
| [44]But being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground. |
[44]and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground. |
| [45]And he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heaviness. |
[45]And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow, |
| [46]And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, least ye enter into temptation. |
[46]and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.' |
| [47]Â And while he yet spake, behold a company, and he that was called Judas one of the twelve, went before them, and came near unto Jesus to kiss him. |
[47]And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him, |
| [48]And Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? |
[48]and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?' |
| [49]Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with sword? |
[49]And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?' |
| [50]And one of them smote a servant of the high Priest, and struck off his right ear. |
[50]And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear, |
| [51]Then Jesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus far: and he touched his ear, and healed him. |
[51]and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him. |
| [52]Then Jesus said unto the high Priests, and captains of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as unto a thief with swords and staves? |
[52]And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks? |
| [53]When I was daily with you in the Temple, ye stretched not forth the hands against me: but this is your very hour, and the power of darkness. |
[53]while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.' |
| [54]Â Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high Priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. |
[54]And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off, |
| [55]And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. |
[55]and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them, |
| [56]And a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and having well looked on him, said, This man was also with him. |
[56]and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!' |
| [57]But he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. |
[57]and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.' |
| [58]And after a little while, another man saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. |
[58]And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.' |
| [59]And about the space of an hour after a certain other affirmed, saying, Verily even this man was with him: for he is also a Galilean. |
[59]And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;' |
| [60]And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. |
[60]and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew. |
| [61]Then the Lord turned back, and looked upon Peter: and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. |
[61]And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' |
| [62]And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. |
[62]and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly. |
| [63]Â And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and struck him. |
[63]And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him]; |
| [64]And when they had blindfolded him, they smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is that smote thee. |
[64]and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?' |
| [65]And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. |
[65]and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him. |
| [66]And as soon as it was day, the Elders of the people, and the high Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their Council, |
[66]And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim, |
| [67]Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe it. |
[67]saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe; |
| [68]And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. |
[68]and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away; |
| [69]Hereafter shall the Son of man sit at the right hand of the power of God. |
[69]henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.' |
| [70]Then said they all, art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, ye say that I am. |
[70]And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say [it], because I am;' |
| [71]Then said they, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard it of his own mouth. |
[71]and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.' |
