Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
1και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησουσ παντασ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ειπεν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
2“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
2οιδατε οτι μετα δυο ημερασ το πασχα γινεται και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εισ το σταυρωθηναι
3Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
3τοτε συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου εισ την αυλην του αρχιερεωσ του λεγομενου καιαφα
4They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
4και συνεβουλευσαντο ινα τον ιησουν δολω κρατησωσιν και αποκτεινωσιν
5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
5ελεγον δε μη εν τη εορτη ινα μη θορυβοσ γενηται εν τω λαω
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6του δε ιησου γενομενου εν βηθανια εν οικια σιμωνοσ του λεπρου
7a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
7προσηλθεν αυτω γυνη αλαβαστρον μυρου εχουσα βαρυτιμου και κατεχεεν επι την κεφαλην αυτου ανακειμενου
8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
8ιδοντεσ δε οι μαθηται αυτου ηγανακτησαν λεγοντεσ εισ τι η απωλεια αυτη
9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
9ηδυνατο γαρ τουτο το μυρον πραθηναι πολλου και δοθηναι πτωχοισ
10However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
10γνουσ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ τι κοπουσ παρεχετε τη γυναικι εργον γαρ καλον ειργασατο εισ εμε
11For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
11παντοτε γαρ τουσ πτωχουσ εχετε μεθ εαυτων εμε δε ου παντοτε εχετε
12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
12βαλουσα γαρ αυτη το μυρον τουτο επι του σωματοσ μου προσ το ενταφιασαι με εποιησεν
13Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
13αμην λεγω υμιν οπου εαν κηρυχθη το ευαγγελιον τουτο εν ολω τω κοσμω λαληθησεται και ο εποιησεν αυτη εισ μνημοσυνον αυτησ
14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
14τοτε πορευθεισ εισ των δωδεκα ο λεγομενοσ ιουδασ ισκαριωτησ προσ τουσ αρχιερεισ
15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
15ειπεν τι θελετε μοι δουναι καγω υμιν παραδωσω αυτον οι δε εστησαν αυτω τριακοντα αργυρια
16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
16και απο τοτε εζητει ευκαιριαν ινα αυτον παραδω
17Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
17τη δε πρωτη των αζυμων προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντεσ αυτω που θελεισ ετοιμασομεν σοι φαγειν το πασχα
18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
18ο δε ειπεν υπαγετε εισ την πολιν προσ τον δεινα και ειπατε αυτω ο διδασκαλοσ λεγει ο καιροσ μου εγγυσ εστιν προσ σε ποιω το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου
19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
19και εποιησαν οι μαθηται ωσ συνεταξεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ και ητοιμασαν το πασχα
20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
20οψιασ δε γενομενησ ανεκειτο μετα των δωδεκα
21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
21και εσθιοντων αυτων ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εισ εξ υμων παραδωσει με
22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
22και λυπουμενοι σφοδρα ηρξαντο λεγειν αυτω εκαστοσ αυτων μητι εγω ειμι κυριε
23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
23ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ο εμβαψασ μετ εμου εν τω τρυβλιω την χειρα ουτοσ με παραδωσει
24The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
24ο μεν υιοσ του ανθρωπου υπαγει καθωσ γεγραπται περι αυτου ουαι δε τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται καλον ην αυτω ει ουκ εγεννηθη ο ανθρωποσ εκεινοσ
25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
25αποκριθεισ δε ιουδασ ο παραδιδουσ αυτον ειπεν μητι εγω ειμι ραββι λεγει αυτω συ ειπασ
26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
26εσθιοντων δε αυτων λαβων ο ιησουσ τον αρτον και ευχαριστησασ εκλασεν και εδιδου τοισ μαθηταισ και ειπεν λαβετε φαγετε τουτο εστιν το σωμα μου
27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
27και λαβων το ποτηριον και ευχαριστησασ εδωκεν αυτοισ λεγων πιετε εξ αυτου παντεσ
28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
28τουτο γαρ εστιν το αιμα μου το τησ καινησ διαθηκησ το περι πολλων εκχυνομενον εισ αφεσιν αμαρτιων
29But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
29λεγω δε υμιν οτι ου μη πιω απ αρτι εκ τουτου του γεννηματοσ τησ αμπελου εωσ τησ ημερασ εκεινησ οταν αυτο πινω μεθ υμων καινον εν τη βασιλεια του πατροσ μου
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
30και υμνησαντεσ εξηλθον εισ το οροσ των ελαιων
31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
31τοτε λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ παντεσ υμεισ σκανδαλισθησεσθε εν εμοι εν τη νυκτι ταυτη γεγραπται γαρ παταξω τον ποιμενα και διασκορπισθησεται τα προβατα τησ ποιμνησ
32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
32μετα δε το εγερθηναι με προαξω υμασ εισ την γαλιλαιαν
33But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
33αποκριθεισ δε ο πετροσ ειπεν αυτω ει παντεσ σκανδαλισθησονται εν σοι εγω δε ουδεποτε σκανδαλισθησομαι
34Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
34εφη αυτω ο ιησουσ αμην λεγω σοι οτι εν ταυτη τη νυκτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρισ απαρνηση με
35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
35λεγει αυτω ο πετροσ καν δεη με συν σοι αποθανειν ου μη σε απαρνησωμαι ομοιωσ δε και παντεσ οι μαθηται ειπον
36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
36τοτε ερχεται μετ αυτων ο ιησουσ εισ χωριον λεγομενον γεθσημανη και λεγει τοισ μαθηταισ καθισατε αυτου εωσ ου απελθων προσευξωμαι εκει
37He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
37και παραλαβων τον πετρον και τουσ δυο υιουσ ζεβεδαιου ηρξατο λυπεισθαι και αδημονειν
38Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
38τοτε λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ περιλυποσ εστιν η ψυχη μου εωσ θανατου μεινατε ωδε και γρηγορειτε μετ εμου
39He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
39και προσελθων μικρον επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου προσευχομενοσ και λεγων πατερ μου ει δυνατον εστιν παρελθετω απ εμου το ποτηριον τουτο πλην ουχ ωσ εγω θελω αλλ ωσ συ
40He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
40και ερχεται προσ τουσ μαθητασ και ευρισκει αυτουσ καθευδοντασ και λεγει τω πετρω ουτωσ ουκ ισχυσατε μιαν ωραν γρηγορησαι μετ εμου
41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
41γρηγορειτε και προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εισ πειρασμον το μεν πνευμα προθυμον η δε σαρξ ασθενησ
42Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
42παλιν εκ δευτερου απελθων προσηυξατο λεγων πατερ μου ει ου δυναται τουτο το ποτηριον παρελθειν απ εμου εαν μη αυτο πιω γενηθητω το θελημα σου
43He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
43και ελθων ευρισκει αυτουσ παλιν καθευδοντασ ησαν γαρ αυτων οι οφθαλμοι βεβαρημενοι
44He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
44και αφεισ αυτουσ απελθων παλιν προσηυξατο εκ τριτου τον αυτον λογον ειπων
45Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45τοτε ερχεται προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου και λεγει αυτοισ καθευδετε 2518 V-PAI-2P το λοιπον και αναπαυεσθε 373 V-PMI-2P ιδου ηγγικεν η ωρα και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εισ χειρασ αμαρτωλων
46Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
46εγειρεσθε αγωμεν ιδου ηγγικεν ο παραδιδουσ με
47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
47και ετι αυτου λαλουντοσ ιδου ιουδασ εισ των δωδεκα ηλθεν και μετ αυτου οχλοσ πολυσ μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων απο των αρχιερεων και πρεσβυτερων του λαου
48Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
48ο δε παραδιδουσ αυτον εδωκεν αυτοισ σημειον λεγων ον αν φιλησω αυτοσ εστιν κρατησατε αυτον
49Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
49και ευθεωσ προσελθων τω ιησου ειπεν χαιρε ραββι και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
50Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
50ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω εταιρε εφ ω παρει τοτε προσελθοντεσ επεβαλον τασ χειρασ επι τον ιησουν και εκρατησαν αυτον
51Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
51και ιδου εισ των μετα ιησου εκτεινασ την χειρα απεσπασεν την μαχαιραν αυτου και παταξασ τον δουλον του αρχιερεωσ αφειλεν αυτου το ωτιον
52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
52τοτε λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ αποστρεψον σου την μαχαιραν εισ τον τοπον αυτησ παντεσ γαρ οι λαβοντεσ μαχαιραν εν μαχαιρα αποθανουνται
53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
53η δοκεισ οτι ου δυναμαι αρτι παρακαλεσαι τον πατερα μου και παραστησει μοι πλειουσ η δωδεκα λεγεωνασ αγγελων
54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
54πωσ ουν πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι οτι ουτωσ δει γενεσθαι
55In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
55εν εκεινη τη ωρα ειπεν ο ιησουσ τοισ οχλοισ ωσ επι ληστην εξηλθετε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων συλλαβειν με καθ ημεραν προσ υμασ εκαθεζομην διδασκων εν τω ιερω και ουκ εκρατησατε με
56But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
56τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων τοτε οι μαθηται παντεσ αφεντεσ αυτον εφυγον
57Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
57οι δε κρατησαντεσ τον ιησουν απηγαγον προσ καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα οπου οι γραμματεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι συνηχθησαν
58But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
58ο δε πετροσ ηκολουθει αυτω απο μακροθεν εωσ τησ αυλησ του αρχιερεωσ και εισελθων εσω εκαθητο μετα των υπηρετων ιδειν το τελοσ
59Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
59οι δε αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι και το συνεδριον ολον εζητουν ψευδομαρτυριαν κατα του ιησου οπωσ θανατωσωσιν αυτον
60and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
60και ουχ ευρον και πολλων ψευδομαρτυρων προσελθοντων ουχ ευρον
61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
61υστερον δε προσελθοντεσ δυο ψευδομαρτυρεσ ειπον ουτοσ εφη δυναμαι καταλυσαι τον ναον του θεου και δια τριων ημερων οικοδομησαι αυτον
62The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
62και αναστασ ο αρχιερευσ ειπεν αυτω ουδεν αποκρινη τι ουτοι σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
63But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
63ο δε ιησουσ εσιωπα και αποκριθεισ ο αρχιερευσ ειπεν αυτω εξορκιζω σε κατα του θεου του ζωντοσ ινα ημιν ειπησ ει συ ει ο χριστοσ ο υιοσ του θεου
64Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
64λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ συ ειπασ πλην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον υιον του ανθρωπου καθημενον εκ δεξιων τησ δυναμεωσ και ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου
65Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
65τοτε ο αρχιερευσ διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου λεγων οτι εβλασφημησεν τι ετι χρειαν εχομεν μαρτυρων ιδε νυν ηκουσατε την βλασφημιαν αυτου
66What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
66τι υμιν δοκει οι δε αποκριθεντεσ ειπον ενοχοσ θανατου εστιν
67Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
67τοτε ενεπτυσαν εισ το προσωπον αυτου και εκολαφισαν αυτον οι δε ερραπισαν
68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
68λεγοντεσ προφητευσον ημιν χριστε τισ εστιν ο παισασ σε
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
69ο δε πετροσ εξω εκαθητο εν τη αυλη και προσηλθεν αυτω μια παιδισκη λεγουσα και συ ησθα μετα ιησου του γαλιλαιου
70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
70ο δε ηρνησατο εμπροσθεν αυτων παντων λεγων ουκ οιδα τι λεγεισ
71When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
71εξελθοντα δε αυτον εισ τον πυλωνα ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει αυτοισ εκει και ουτοσ ην μετα ιησου του ναζωραιου
72Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
72και παλιν ηρνησατο μεθ ορκου οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον
73After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
73μετα μικρον δε προσελθοντεσ οι εστωτεσ ειπον τω πετρω αληθωσ και συ εξ αυτων ει και γαρ η λαλια σου δηλον σε ποιει
74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
74τοτε ηρξατο καταθεματιζειν και ομνυειν οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον και ευθεωσ αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν
75Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
75και εμνησθη ο πετροσ του ρηματοσ του ιησου ειρηκοτοσ αυτω οτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρισ απαρνηση με και εξελθων εξω εκλαυσεν πικρωσ
