1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
Ἤγγιζεν δὲ ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν ἀζύμων ἡ λεγομένη πάσχα,
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
εἰσῆλθεν δὲ ὁ σατανᾶς εἰς Ἰούδαν τὸν Ἰσκαριώτην ὄντα ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν δώδεκα.
4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
καὶ ἀπελθὼν συνελάλησεν τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς τὸ πῶς παραδῷ
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
καὶ ἐχάρησαν καὶ συνέθεντο αὐτῷ ἀργύριον δοῦναι.
6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
καὶ ἐξωμολόγησεν καὶ ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν αὐτοῖς.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
Ἦλθεν δὲ ἡ ἡμέρα τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν ᾗ ἔδει θύεσθαι τὸ πάσχα.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην εἰπών· πορευθέντες ἑτοιμάσατε ἡμῖν τὸ πάσχα ἵνα φάγωμεν.
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμεν;
10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἰδοὺ εἰσελθόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναντήσει ὑμῖν ἄνθρωπος κεράμιον ὕδατος βαστάζων. ἀκολουθήσατε αὐτῷ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν εἰσπορεύεται·
11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
καὶ ἐρεῖτε τῷ οἰκοδεσπότῃ τῆς οἰκίας· λέγει σοι ὁ διδάσκαλος· ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατάλυμα ὅπου τὸ πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου φάγω;
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
κἀκεῖνος ὑμῖν δείξει ἀνάγαιον μέγα ἐστρωμένον· ἐκεῖ ἑτοιμάσατε.
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
ἀπελθόντες δὲ εὗρον καθὼς αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ πάσχα.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἡ ὥρα, ἀνέπεσεν καὶ οἱ δώδεκα ἀπόστολοι σὺν αὐτῷ.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐπιθυμίᾳ ἐπεθύμησα τοῦτο τὸ πάσχα φαγεῖν μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν πρὸ τοῦ με παθεῖν·
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ φάγω ἐξ ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ.
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
καὶ δεξάμενος ποτήριον εὐχαριστήσας εἶπεν· λάβετε τοῦτο καὶ διαμερίσατε
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν· ὅτι οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπὸ τοῦ τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἔλθῃ.
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
Καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν διδόμενον· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
καὶ τὸ ποτήριον μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι λέγων· τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐν τῷ αἵματί μου τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐκχυννόμενον.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
πλὴν ἰδοὺ ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ παραδιδόντος με μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης.
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
ὁ μὲν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου πορεύεται· πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι᾽ οὗ παραδίδοται.
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
καὶ αὐτοὶ ἤρξαντο συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς τὸ τίς ἄρα εἴη ἐξ αὐτῶν ὁ τοῦτο μέλλων πράσσειν.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
Ἐγένετο δὲ καὶ φιλονεικία ἐν αὐτοῖς, τὸ τίς αὐτῶν δοκεῖ εἶναι μείζων.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν κυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐξουσιάζοντες αὐτῶν εὐεργέται καλοῦνται.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν ὡς ὁ νεώτερος, καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
τίς γὰρ μείζων, ὁ ἀνακείμενος ἢ ὁ διακονῶν; οὐχὶ ὁ ἀνακείμενος; ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν ὡς ὁ διακονῶν.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε οἱ διαμεμενηκότες μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐν τοῖς πειρασμοῖς μου.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
κἀγὼ διατίθεμαι ὑμῖν καθὼς διέθετό μοι ὁ πατήρ μου βασιλείαν,
30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
ἵνα ἔσθητε καὶ πίνητε ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου καὶ ἐπὶ θρόνων τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος· Σίμων Σίμων, ἰδοὺ ὁ σατανᾶς ἐξῃτήσατο ὑμᾶς τοῦ σινιάσαι ὡς τὸν σῖτον.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐδεήθην περὶ σοῦ ἵνα μὴ ἡ πίστις σου. καὶ σύ ποτε ἐπιστρέψας στήρισον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου.
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· κύριε, μετὰ σοῦ ἕτοιμός εἰμι καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν καὶ εἰς θάνατον πορεύεσθαι.
34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· λέγω σοι, Πέτρε, οὐ μή σήμερον ἀλέκτωρ τρίς ἀπαρνήσῃ μή εἰδέναι.
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅτε ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς ἄτερ βαλλαντίου καὶ πήρας καὶ ὑποδημάτων, μή τινος ὑστερήσατε; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· οὐθενός.
36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀλλὰ νῦν ὁ ἔχων βαλλάντιον ἀράτω, ὁμοίως καὶ πήραν· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἔχων πωλησάτω τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀγορασάτω μάχαιραν.
37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι ἔτι τοῦτο τὸ γεγραμμένον δεῖ τελεσθῆναι ἐν ἐμοί, τὸ καὶ μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη. καὶ γὰρ περὶ ἐμοῦ τέλος ἔχει.
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· κύριε, ἰδοὺ μάχαιραι ὧδε δύο. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἱκανόν ἐστιν.
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ ἔθος εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν. ἠκολούθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
γενόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· προσεύχεσθε μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς πειρασμόν.
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λίθου βολήν, καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα προσηύχετο
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
λέγων· πάτερ, εἰ βούλει τὸ ποτήριον ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ· πλὴν μὴ τὸ θέλημά μου ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
[[ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ ἐνισχύων αὐτόν.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
καὶ γενόμενος ἐν ἀγωνίᾳ ἐκτενέστερον προσηύχετο. ἐγένετο δὲ ὁ ἱδρὼς αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ θρόμβοι αἵματος καταβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.]]
45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπὸ τῆς προσευχῆς, ἐλθὼν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εὗρεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς λύπης
46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί καθεύδετε; ἀναστάντες προσεύχεσθε ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν.
47 While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
Ἔτι δέ αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ ὄχλος, καὶ ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα προήρχετο καὶ ἤγγισεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ φιλῆσαι αὐτόν.
48 But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἰούδα, φιλήματι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδως;
49 Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν τὸ ἐσόμενον εἶπαν αὐτῷ· κύριε, εἰ πατάξομεν ἐν μαχαίρῃ;
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
καὶ ἐπάταξεν εἷς τις ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν δοῦλον καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὸ οὖς τὸ δεξιόν.
51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ἐᾶτε ἕως τούτου. καὶ ἁψάμενος τοῦ ὠτίου αὐτοῦ ἰάσατο αὐτόν.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς παραγενομένους ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ στρατηγοὺς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ πρεσβυτέρους· ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων;
53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ὄντος μου μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ οὐκ ἐξετείνατε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ. ἀλλ᾽ αὕτη ὑμῶν ἡ ὥρα καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ σκότους.
54 Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.
Συλλαβόντες δὲ αὐτὸν ἤγαγον καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως. ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει μακρόθεν.
55 When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
δὲ πῦρ ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ συγκαθισάντων αὐτῶν ἐκάθητο ὁ Πέτρος ἐν αὐτῶν.
56 A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.
ἰδοῦσα δὲ αὐτὸν παιδίσκη τις καθήμενον πρὸς τὸ φῶς καὶ ἀτενίσασα αὐτῷ εἶπεν· καὶ οὗτος σὺν αὐτῷ ἦν.
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.
ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο αὐτόν λέγων· οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν,
58 A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
Καὶ μετὰ βραχὺ ἕτερος ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἔφη· καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ. ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἄνθρωπε, οὐκ εἰμί.
59 About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”
καὶ διαστάσης ὡσεὶ ὥρας μιᾶς ἄλλος τις διϊσχυρίζετο λέγων· ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας καὶ οὗτος μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἦν· καὶ γὰρ Γαλιλαῖός ἐστιν.
60 “Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. While he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος· ἄνθρωπε, οὐκ οἶδα ὃ λέγεις. καὶ παραχρῆμα ἔτι λαλοῦντος αὐτοῦ ἐφώνησεν ὁ ἀλέκτωρ.
61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
καὶ στραφεὶς ὁ κύριος ἐνέβλεψεν τῷ Πέτρῳ, καὶ ὑπεμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι ἀπαρνήσῃ με τρίς.
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ὁ Πέτρος ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
63 The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.
Καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ συνέχοντες τὸν ἐνέπαιζον αὐτῷ δέροντες.
64 They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”
καὶ περικαλύψαντες αὐτὸν ἔτυπτον αὐτοῦ τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν λέγοντες· προφήτευσον, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;
65 And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.
καὶ ἕτερα πολλὰ βλασφημοῦντες ἔλεγον εἰς αὐτόν.
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,
Καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡμέρα, συνήχθη τὸ πρεσβυτέριον τοῦ λαοῦ, ἀρχιερεῖς τε καὶ γραμματεῖς, καὶ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ συνέδριον
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.
λέγοντες· εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, εἰπὸν ἡμῖν. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς· ἐὰν ὑμῖν εἴπω, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε.
68 And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἐρωτήσω, οὐ μὴ ἀποκριθῆτε μοι, ἢ ἀπολύσητε.
69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἔσται ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενος ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ θεοῦ.
70 So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”
εἶπαν δὲ πάντες· σὺ οὖν εἶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ; ὁ δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἔφη· ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι.
71 “Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· τί ἔτι χρείαν; αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἠκούσαμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.
