1Now the feast of the pasch, and of the Azymes was after two days; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him, and kill him.
1Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.
2But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people.
2“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
3And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard: and breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head.
3While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.
4Now there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made?
4Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?
5For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
5It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
6But Jesus said: Let her alone, why do you molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me.
6But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
7For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always.
7The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.
8She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.
8She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.
9Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memorial of her.
9And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.
10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.
11Who hearing it were glad; and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
11They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
12Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go, and prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
12On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
13And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water, follow him;
13So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,
14And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?
14and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
15And he will shew you a large dining room furnished; and there prepare ye for us.
15And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16And his disciples went their way, and came into the city; and they found as he had told them, and they prepared the pasch.
16So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.
17And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.
17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.
18And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me.
18And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
19But they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I?
19They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”
20Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish.
20He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.
21And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born.
21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body.
22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”
23And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.
23Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.
24He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
25Amen I say to you, that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
25Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
26And when they had said an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives.
26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed.
27Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, yet not I.
29Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”
30And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, today, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice.
30“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.
31But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.
32And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray.
32Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33And he taketh Peter and James and John with him; and he began to fear and to be heavy.
33He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.
34And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death; stay you here, and watch.
34Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
35And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground; and he prayed, that if it might be, the hour might pass from him.
35Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.
36And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.
36“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? couldst thou not watch one hour?
37Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?
38Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
38Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39A going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.
39Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40And when he returned, he found them again asleep, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they knew not what to answer him.
40And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41And he cometh the third time, and saith to them: Sleep ye now, and take your rest. It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
41When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.
42Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
43And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.
43While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
44And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.
44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”
45And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.
45Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46But they laid hands on him, and held him.
46Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.
47An one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.
47And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?
48Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”
50Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.
50Then everyone deserted Him and fled.
51And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.
51One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,
52But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.
52but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.
53And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.
53They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.
54And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.
54Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
55And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.
55Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.
56For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.
56For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.
57And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
57Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:
58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.
58“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”
59And their witness did not agree.
59But even their testimony was inconsistent.
60And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?
60So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?
61But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
62“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?
63At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
64You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.
64You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.
65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.
65Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
66Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.
66While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down
67And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
67and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”
68But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.
68But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.
69And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.
69There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”
70But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.
70But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
71But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.
71But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”
72And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep.
72And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
