| 1The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was drawing near. | 1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. |
| 2The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Him to death, because they were afraid of the people. | 2And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. |
| 3Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve. | 3Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. |
| 4He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand Him over to them. | 4And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. |
| 5They were glad and agreed to give him silver. | 5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. |
| 6So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them when the crowd was not present. | 6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. |
| 7Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. | 7Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. |
| 8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it."" | 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. |
| 9Where do You want us to prepare it?" they asked Him. | 9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? |
| 10"Listen," He said to them, "when you've entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. | 10And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. |
| 11Tell the owner of the house, The Teacher asks you, "Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?"' | 11And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? |
| 12Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there." | 12And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. |
| 13So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover. | 13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. |
| 14When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. | 14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. |
| 15Then He said to them, "I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. | 15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: |
| 16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." | 16For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. |
| 17Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves. | 17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: |
| 18For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." | 18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. |
| 19And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." | 19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. |
| 20In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, "This cup is the new covenant established by My blood; it is shed for you. | 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. |
| 21But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me! | 21But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. |
| 22For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" | 22And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! |
| 23So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing. | 23And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. |
| 24Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest. | 24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. |
| 25But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.' | 25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. |
| 26But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving. | 26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. |
| 27For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn't it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves. | 27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. |
| 28You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials. | 28Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. |
| 29I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one on Me, | 29And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; |
| 30so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. | 30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 31"Simon, Simon, look out! Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. | 31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: |
| 32But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."" | 32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. |
| 33Lord," he told Him, "I'm ready to go with You both to prison and to death!" | 33And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. |
| 34"I tell you, Peter," He said, "the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me!" | 34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. |
| 35He also said to them, "When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?"" Not a thing," they said. | 35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. |
| 36Then He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn't have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. | 36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. |
| 37For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws. Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment."" | 37For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. |
| 38Lord," they said, "look, here are two swords." "Enough of that!" He told them. | 38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. |
| 39He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him. | 39And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. |
| 40When He reached the place, He told them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." | 40And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. |
| 41Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray, | 41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, |
| 42"Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me--nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done." | 42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. |
| 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. | 43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. |
| 44Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. | 44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. |
| 45When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief. | 45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, |
| 46"Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation." | 46And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. |
| 47While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him, | 47And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. |
| 48but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" | 48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? |
| 49When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they asked, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?" | 49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? |
| 50Then one of them struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. | 50And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. |
| 51But Jesus responded, "No more of this!" And touching his ear, He healed him. | 51And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. |
| 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal? | 52Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? |
| 53Every day while I was with you in the temple complex, you never laid a hand on Me. But this is your hour--and the dominion of darkness." | 53When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. |
| 54They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest's house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance. | 54Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. |
| 55They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them. | 55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. |
| 56When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, "This man was with Him too." | 56But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. |
| 57But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know Him!" | 57And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. |
| 58After a little while, someone else saw him and said, "You're one of them too!"" Man, I am not!" Peter said. | 58And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. |
| 59About an hour later, another kept insisting, "This man was certainly with Him, since he's also a Galilean." | 59And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. |
| 60But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. | 60And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. |
| 61Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times." | 61And the Lord turned, 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. |
| 62And he went outside and wept bitterly. | 62And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. |
| 63The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him. | 63And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. |
| 64After blindfolding Him, they kept asking, "Prophesy! Who hit You?" | 64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? |
| 65And they were saying many other blasphemous things against Him. | 65And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. |
| 66When daylight came, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes, convened and brought Him before their Sanhedrin. | 66And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, |
| 67They said, "If You are the Messiah, tell us." But He said to them, "If I do tell you, you will not believe. | 67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: |
| 68And if I ask you, you will not answer. | 68And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. |
| 69But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God." | 69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. |
| 70They all asked, "Are You, then, the Son of God?" And He said to them, "You say that I am."" | 70Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. |
| 71Why do we need any more testimony," they said, "since we've heard it ourselves from His mouth?" | 71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. |
