Matthew 26


Mat 26:1 When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,
Mat 26:2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion."
Mat 26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas;
Mat 26:4 and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him.
Mat 26:5 But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."
Mat 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,
Mat 26:7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.
Mat 26:8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?
Mat 26:9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."
Mat 26:10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.
Mat 26:11 For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.
Mat 26:12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.
Mat 26:13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."
Mat 26:14 Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Mat 26:15 and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him.
Mat 26:16 From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.
Mat 26:17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
Mat 26:18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"
Mat 26:19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
Mat 26:20 Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
Mat 26:21 As they were eating, He said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."
Mat 26:22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"
Mat 26:23 And He answered, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.
Mat 26:24 The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."
Mat 26:25 And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself."
Mat 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."
Mat 26:27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;
Mat 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
Mat 26:30 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mat 26:31 Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.'
Mat 26:32 But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
Mat 26:33 But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."
Mat 26:34 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
Mat 26:35 Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.
Mat 26:36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
Mat 26:37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.
Mat 26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."
Mat 26:39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
Mat 26:40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?
Mat 26:41 Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Mat 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
Mat 26:43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
Mat 26:45 Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46 Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"
Mat 26:47 While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Mat 26:48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."
Mat 26:49 Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
Mat 26:50 And Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
Mat 26:51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Mat 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
Mat 26:53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Mat 26:54 How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"
Mat 26:55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.
Mat 26:56 But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
Mat 26:57 Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Mat 26:58 But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.
Mat 26:59 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.
Mat 26:60 They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,
Mat 26:61 and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"
Mat 26:62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"
Mat 26:63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."
Mat 26:64 Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Mat 26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;
Mat 26:66 what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
Mat 26:67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,
Mat 26:68 and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"
Mat 26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."
Mat 26:70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
Mat 26:71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
Mat 26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
Mat 26:73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."
Mat 26:74 Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.
Mat 26:75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

Mat 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, (kjv) Mat 26:1 When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, Mat 26:1 καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ,
Mat 26:2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. (kjv) Mat 26:2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion." Mat 26:2 οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.
Mat 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, (kjv) Mat 26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas; Mat 26:3 τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τοῦ λεγομένου καϊάφα,
Mat 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. (kjv) Mat 26:4 and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. Mat 26:4 καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν·
Mat 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. (kjv) Mat 26:5 But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people." Mat 26:5 ἔλεγον δέ, μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῶ λαῶ.
Mat 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, (kjv) Mat 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, Mat 26:6 τοῦ δὲ ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ,
Mat 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. (kjv) Mat 26:7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. Mat 26:7 προσῆλθεν αὐτῶ γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου βαρυτίμου καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.
Mat 26:8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? (kjv) Mat 26:8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste? Mat 26:8 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἠγανάκτησαν λέγοντες, εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη;
Mat 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. (kjv) Mat 26:9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor." Mat 26:9 ἐδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.
Mat 26:10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. (kjv) Mat 26:10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. Mat 26:10 γνοὺς δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ·
Mat 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. (kjv) Mat 26:11 For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. Mat 26:11 πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε·
Mat 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. (kjv) Mat 26:12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. Mat 26:12 βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν.
Mat 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. (kjv) Mat 26:13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her." Mat 26:13 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῶ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς.
Mat 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, (kjv) Mat 26:14 Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests Mat 26:14 τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος ἰούδας ἰσκαριώτης, πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
Mat 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. (kjv) Mat 26:15 and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. Mat 26:15 εἶπεν, τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν; οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῶ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
Mat 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. (kjv) Mat 26:16 From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus. Mat 26:16 καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῶ.
Mat 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? (kjv) Mat 26:17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" Mat 26:17 τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν ἀζύμων προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῶ ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ πάσχα;
Mat 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. (kjv) Mat 26:18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'" Mat 26:18 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῶ, ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει, ὁ καιρός μου ἐγγύς ἐστιν· πρὸς σὲ ποιῶ τὸ πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου.
Mat 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. (kjv) Mat 26:19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. Mat 26:19 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ πάσχα.
Mat 26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. (kjv) Mat 26:20 Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. Mat 26:20 ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα.
Mat 26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. (kjv) Mat 26:21 As they were eating, He said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me." Mat 26:21 καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.
Mat 26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? (kjv) Mat 26:22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?" Mat 26:22 καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῶ εἷς ἕκαστος, μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, κύριε;
Mat 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. (kjv) Mat 26:23 And He answered, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. Mat 26:23 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, ὁ ἐμβάψας μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῶ τρυβλίῳ οὖτός με παραδώσει.
Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. (kjv) Mat 26:24 The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." Mat 26:24 ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῶ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι᾽ οὖ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται· καλὸν ἦν αὐτῶ εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.
Mat 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. (kjv) Mat 26:25 And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself." Mat 26:25 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ῥαββί; λέγει αὐτῶ, σὺ εἶπας.
Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. (kjv) Mat 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Mat 26:26 ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν λαβὼν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἄρτον καὶ εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἶπεν, λάβετε φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.
Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; (kjv) Mat 26:27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; Mat 26:27 καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες,
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (kjv) Mat 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. Mat 26:28 τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (kjv) Mat 26:29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." Mat 26:29 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι ἐκ τούτου τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
Mat 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. (kjv) Mat 26:30 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Mat 26:30 καὶ ὑμνήσαντες ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν.
Mat 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. (kjv) Mat 26:31 Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.' Mat 26:31 τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, πάντες ὑμεῖς σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, γέγραπται γάρ, πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται τὰ πρόβατα τῆς ποίμνης·
Mat 26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. (kjv) Mat 26:32 But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee." Mat 26:32 μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν.
Mat 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. (kjv) Mat 26:33 But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away." Mat 26:33 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῶ, εἰ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν σοί, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι.
Mat 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (kjv) Mat 26:34 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." Mat 26:34 ἔφη αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτι ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με.
Mat 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. (kjv) Mat 26:35 Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too. Mat 26:35 λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ πέτρος, κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοὶ ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι. ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπαν.
Mat 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (kjv) Mat 26:36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." Mat 26:36 τότε ἔρχεται μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ ἰησοῦς εἰς χωρίον λεγόμενον γεθσημανί, καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, καθίσατε αὐτοῦ ἕως [οὖ] ἀπελθὼν ἐκεῖ προσεύξωμαι.
Mat 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. (kjv) Mat 26:37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. Mat 26:37 καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν πέτρον καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς ζεβεδαίου ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν.
Mat 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. (kjv) Mat 26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me." Mat 26:38 τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς, περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
Mat 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (kjv) Mat 26:39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." Mat 26:39 καὶ προελθὼν μικρὸν ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων, πάτερ μου, εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν, παρελθάτω ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο· πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλ᾽ ὡς σύ.
Mat 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? (kjv) Mat 26:40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? Mat 26:40 καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῶ πέτρῳ, οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ;
Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (kjv) Mat 26:41 Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Mat 26:41 γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν· τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής.
Mat 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. (kjv) Mat 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." Mat 26:42 πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων, πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου.
Mat 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. (kjv) Mat 26:43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. Mat 26:43 καὶ ἐλθὼν πάλιν εὖρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι.
Mat 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. (kjv) Mat 26:44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. Mat 26:44 καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν πάλιν.
Mat 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (kjv) Mat 26:45 Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Mat 26:45 τότε ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, καθεύδετε [τὸ] λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε; ἰδοὺ ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν.
Mat 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. (kjv) Mat 26:46 Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!" Mat 26:46 ἐγείρεσθε, ἄγωμεν· ἰδοὺ ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με.
Mat 26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. (kjv) Mat 26:47 While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. Mat 26:47 καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ.
Mat 26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. (kjv) Mat 26:48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him." Mat 26:48 ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, ὃν ἂν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν.
Mat 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. (kjv) Mat 26:49 Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. Mat 26:49 καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῶ ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, χαῖρε, ῥαββί· καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
Mat 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him. (kjv) Mat 26:50 And Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him. Mat 26:50 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἑταῖρε, ἐφ᾽ ὃ πάρει. τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
Mat 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. (kjv) Mat 26:51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. Mat 26:51 καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς τῶν μετὰ ἰησοῦ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον.
Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. (kjv) Mat 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. Mat 26:52 τότε λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται.
Mat 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? (kjv) Mat 26:53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? Mat 26:53 ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι παρακαλέσαι τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι ἄρτι πλείω δώδεκα λεγιῶνας ἀγγέλων;
Mat 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? (kjv) Mat 26:54 How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?" Mat 26:54 πῶς οὗν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;
Mat 26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. (kjv) Mat 26:55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me. Mat 26:55 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις, ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με.
Mat 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. (kjv) Mat 26:56 But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled. Mat 26:56 τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
Mat 26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. (kjv) Mat 26:57 Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. Mat 26:57 οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν ἰησοῦν ἀπήγαγον πρὸς καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.
Mat 26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. (kjv) Mat 26:58 But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome. Mat 26:58 ὁ δὲ πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῶ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος.
Mat 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; (kjv) Mat 26:59 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. Mat 26:59 οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ ἰησοῦ ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν,
Mat 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, (kjv) Mat 26:60 They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward, Mat 26:60 καὶ οὐχ εὖρον πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο
Mat 26:61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. (kjv) Mat 26:61 and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'" Mat 26:61 εἶπαν, οὖτος ἔφη, δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι.
Mat 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? (kjv) Mat 26:62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?" Mat 26:62 καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ; τί οὖτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;
Mat 26:63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. (kjv) Mat 26:63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God." Mat 26:63 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. (kjv) Mat 26:64 Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Mat 26:64 λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, σὺ εἶπας· πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
Mat 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. (kjv) Mat 26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; Mat 26:65 τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, ἐβλασφήμησεν· τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; ἴδε νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν·
Mat 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. (kjv) Mat 26:66 what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!" Mat 26:66 τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπαν, ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν.
Mat 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, (kjv) Mat 26:67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him, Mat 26:67 τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν
Mat 26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? (kjv) Mat 26:68 and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?" Mat 26:68 λέγοντες, προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;
Mat 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. (kjv) Mat 26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean." Mat 26:69 ὁ δὲ πέτρος ἐκάθητο ἔξω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ· καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῶ μία παιδίσκη λέγουσα, καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ ἰησοῦ τοῦ γαλιλαίου.
Mat 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. (kjv) Mat 26:70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about." Mat 26:70 ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν πάντων λέγων, οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.
Mat 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. (kjv) Mat 26:71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth." Mat 26:71 ἐξελθόντα δὲ εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἐκεῖ, οὖτος ἦν μετὰ ἰησοῦ τοῦ ναζωραίου.
Mat 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. (kjv) Mat 26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man." Mat 26:72 καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μετὰ ὅρκου ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
Mat 26:73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. (kjv) Mat 26:73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away." Mat 26:73 μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῶ πέτρῳ, ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ, καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλόν σε ποιεῖ.
Mat 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. (kjv) Mat 26:74 Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed. Mat 26:74 τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον. καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
Mat 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.(kjv) Mat 26:75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly. Mat 26:75 καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος ὅτι πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με· καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
