Chapter 26
1When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
(Hebrew unavailable)
2“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
3At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
(Hebrew unavailable)
4and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
5“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
(Hebrew unavailable)
7a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
(Hebrew unavailable)
9This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
10Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
(Hebrew unavailable)
15and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
(Hebrew unavailable)
16So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
18He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”
(Hebrew unavailable)
19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
22They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
23Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
24The 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
27Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
(Hebrew unavailable)
28This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
(Hebrew unavailable)
29I tell you, 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
33Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
34“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
35Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
(Hebrew unavailable)
36Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
37He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
38Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
39Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
40Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
(Hebrew unavailable)
41“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
42A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
43And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
(Hebrew unavailable)
44So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
(Hebrew unavailable)
45Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(Hebrew unavailable)
46Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
47While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
(Hebrew unavailable)
48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
49Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
50“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
51At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
(Hebrew unavailable)
52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
(Hebrew unavailable)
53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
(Hebrew unavailable)
54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
55At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
56But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
(Hebrew unavailable)
57Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
58But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
(Hebrew unavailable)
59Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
(Hebrew unavailable)
60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
(Hebrew unavailable)
61and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
(Hebrew unavailable)
62So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
65At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
(Hebrew unavailable)
66What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
67Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him
(Hebrew unavailable)
68and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
69Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
(Hebrew unavailable)
70But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
71When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
73After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
74At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
75Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
