1And the feast of Unleavened Bread, called Passover (pascha), drew near.
2And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how they might make an end of Him (take Him away); for they feared the people. 3And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being from out of the number of the twelve. 4And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and captains on how he might betray (hand over) Him to them. 5And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money. 6And he fully consented (confessed fully) and sought a good opportunity (convenient time, a good opportune time) to betray Him apart from the crowd. 7And the day of Unleavened Bread came on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be killed. 8And He sent Peter and John, having said, Go prepare the Passover for us, so that we might eat it. 9And they said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare it? 10And He said to them, Behold, on you having entered into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house into which he enters; 11And you will say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room where I might eat the Passover with My disciples? 12And he will show you a great upper room having been furnished (spread); there prepare. 13And having gone, they found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover. 14And when the hour was come, He reclined [at the table] and the apostles with Him. 15And He said to them, Upon passionate longing I have passionately longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I say to you, that I will not eat of it any longer, until when it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17And having received the cup, having given thanks, He said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18For I say to you, that I will not drink from now from the produce (not karpos-fruit but rather genematos which means offspring or that begotten/birthed) of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come. 19And having taken the bread, having given thanks, He broke and gave to them, saying, This is My body, which is given for you; this do in My remembrance. 20And the cup likewise after which having supped (eaten at supper time), saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out from you. 21However, behold, the hand of him betraying Me is with Me upon the table; 22Because the Son of Man indeed goes according to that having been determined, however woe to that there man through whom He is betrayed. 23And they began to examine this together among themselves, who then it might be from out of them, who is about to do this. 24And there was also a fondness of dispute (love of strife/contention) among them, as to which of them is supposed to be the greatest. 25And He said to them, The kings of the ethnicities rule over them and those exercising authority over them are called benefactors (well-workers). 26And you shall not be thus; but the greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and the one leading as the one serving. 27For who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is not the one reclining? However I am in the midst of you, as the One serving. 28And you are those having remained with Me in My trials. 29And I appoint to you, just as My Father appointed to Me, a kingdom; 30So that you might eat and might drink at (upon) My table in My kingdom; and are to sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31Simon, Simon, Behold, Satan has asked you out for himself, to sift as wheat; 32however I appealed (requested an urgent appeal) concerning you, so that you faith might not fail; and you, when you have turned back (turned/changed/converted upon), firmly confirm your brothers. 33And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You unto prison and unto death. 34And He said, I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow (call out) today until you will deny three times not knowing Me. 35And He said to them, When I sent you without a money-bag, and traveler’s bag, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. 36He said therefore to them, But now the one having the money-bag let him take it likewise also a traveler’s bag; and the one not having a sword (slaughter-dagger), let him sell his outer garment and buy one; 37For I say to you, that this that has been written must be accomplished in Me, And He was reckoned with the lawless; for also the things concerning Me have an end (a fulfillment). 38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords (slaughter-daggers). And He said to them, It is enough (sufficient, fit, suitable). 39And having gone out, He went according to custom unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him. 40And having come upon the place, He said to them, Pray that you do not enter into temptation. 41And He withdrew away from them about a stone’s throw and having fallen on His knees, He prayed, 42Saying, Father, if You are willing take this cup away from Me; however not My will, but of You be done. 43And an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44And having been in agony, He prayed more intently. And His sweat became as large drops of blood falling down upon the ground. 45And having risen up from prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from grief (pain, distress, vexation), 46and He said to them, Why are you sleeping? Rise up and pray, so that you might not enter into temptation. 47As He was still speaking, behold, a crowd, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48And Jesus said to him, Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? 49And those around Him having seen what will be, said Lord, will we strike with the sword? 50And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51And answering, Jesus said, Permit them as far as this! And having touched the ear, He healed (iasato) him. 52And Jesus said to those having arrived against (upon) Him, the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, Have you come out as against (upon) a robber (one that steals in the open) with swords and sticks (things of wood)? 53My being with you day by day in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against (upon) Me; but this is your hour and the authority of darkness. 54And having apprehended Him, they led Him away and led Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following afar off. 55And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. 56And having seen him, a certain servant girl sitting by the light, and having looked fixedly (fixated) on him, said, This one also was with Him. 57However he denied it, saying, Woman, I do not know Him. 58And after a little, another having seen him, said, You are also from out of them. However Peter said, Man, I am not. 59And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other strongly asserted it, saying, Upon truth this one also was with Him; for he is a Galilean. 60And Peter said, Man, I do not know what you say. And instantly while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed (called out). 61And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times. 62And having gone outside, he wept bitterly. 63And the men who are holding (confining) Him mocked Him, beating Him. 64And having blindfolded (covered around) Him, {they were striking His face, and} were asking saying, Prophesy, who is the one having struck you? 65And they said unto Him many other things blaspheming. 66And when it became day, the elderhood of the people, both the chief priests and scribes were gathered together and they led Him into their council, saying, 67If You are the Christ, tell us. And He said to them, If I should tell you, you would not believe; 68And if I should ask you, you would not answer. 69From now on the Son of Man will be sitting at (from out of) the right hand/side of the power of God. 70And they all said, You then are the Son of God? And to them He said, You say that I am. 71And they said, What need have we of any more witness? For we ourselves have heard it from His mouth. |
