ABP - Matthew - 26

26:1  And it came to pass when Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

26:2  You know that after two days the passover takes place, and the son of man is delivered up for the crucifying.

26:3  Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people in the courtyard of the chief priest, of the one being called Caiaphas.

26:4  And they were advising that they should seize Jesus by treachery, and should kill him.

26:5  But they said, Not during the holiday, that [2should not 1a tumult] take place among the people.

26:6  And Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

26:7  there came forward to him a woman [2an alabaster flask 3of a perfumed liquid 1having] of a heavy price, and she poured it down upon his head, as he reclined.

26:8  [3seeing it 1And 2his disciples], were indignant, saying, For what reason is this loss?

26:9  [4would be able 1For 2this 3perfumed liquid] to be sold for much, and to be given to the poor.

26:10  But knowing, Jesus said to them, Why [2troubles 1do you make] to the woman? [4work 1for 3a good 2she worked] for me.

26:11  For at all times [2the 3poor 1you have] with yourselves; but me you do not at all times have.

26:12  [3laying 1For 2this woman] this perfumed liquid upon my body, [2so 3to embalm 4me 1did].

26:13  Amen I say to you, Where ever [2should be proclaimed 1this good news] in the entire world, there shall be spoken also what this woman did, for a memorial of her.

26:14  Then having gone, one of the twelve, the one being called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priest,

26:15  said, What do you want to give me, and I [2to you 1will deliver him up]? And they established to him thirty silver pieces.

26:16  And from then he sought an opportune time that he should deliver him up.

26:17  And on the first day of the unleavened breads, [3came forward 1the 2disciples] to Jesus, saying to him, Where do you want we should prepare for you to eat the passover?

26:18  And he said, Go into the city, to a certain person, and say to him! The teacher says, My time is near; with you I will observe the passover with my disciples.

26:19  And [3did 1the 2disciples] as [2gave orders 3to them 1Jesus]; and they prepared the passover.

26:20  And evening becoming, he reclined with the twelve.

26:21  And during their eating he said, Amen I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

26:22  And fretting exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, By no means I am he, O Lord.

26:23  And he responding said, The one dipping [3with 4me 5in 6the 7saucer 1the 2hand], this one will deliver me up.

26:24  Indeed the son of man goes away, as it has been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the son of man is delivered up. It was good to him if [2was not 3born 1that man].

26:25  And responding Judas the one delivering him up, said, Not I am he, Rabbi? He says to him, You said it.

26:26  [3eating 1And 2during their], Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take! eat! this is my body.

26:27  And having taken the cup, and giving thanks, he gave to them, saying, You drink of it all!

26:28  For this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, the one for many, being poured out for a release of sins.

26:29  And I say to you, that in no way shall I drink from now on from this, the offspring of the grapevine, until that day, whenever I should drink it with you new in the kingdom, the one of my father.

26:30  And having sung praise, they went forth unto the mount of the olives.

26:31  Then [2says 3to them 1Jesus], All you will be stumbled by me in this night. For it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and [5will disperse 1the 2sheep 3of the 4flock].

26:32  And after my rising, I will go before you into Galilee.

26:33  And responding Peter said to him, If even all were to stumble in you, I at no time shall be made to stumble.

26:34  [2said 3to him 1Jesus], Amen I say to you, that in this night, before a rooster calls out, three times you shall totally reject me.

26:35  [2says 3to him 1Peter], And if it should be necessary for me [2with 3you 1to die], in no way shall I totally reject you. In like manner also all the disciples spoke.

26:36  Then [2comes 3with 4them 1Jesus] unto a place being called, Gethsemane. And he says to the disciples, Sit here! until of which time going forth I should pray there

26:37  And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to fret and be anxious.

26:38  Then he says to them, [2is dejected 1My soul] unto death; remain here and be vigilant with me!

26:39  And having gone forth a little, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying, O my father, if it is possible, let [2pass 3from 4me 1this cup]! except not as I want, but as you.

26:40  And he comes to the disciples, and he finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, So were you not able [2one 3hour 1to be vigilant] with me?

26:41  Be vigilant and pray! that you should not enter into the test. For the spirit is eager, but the flesh weak.

26:42  Again a second time, having gone forth he prayed, saying, O my father, if it is not possible for this cup to pass from me, except that I drink it, let [2take place 1your will]!

26:43  And having come he finds them again sleeping; [4were 1for 2their 3eyes] weighed down.

26:44  And allowing them, going forth again he prayed a third time, the same word having said,

26:45  Then he comes to his disciples, and he says to them, Sleep the remaining, and rest! Behold, [3approaches 1the 2hour], and the son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

26:46  Arise! we lead on. Behold, [3approaches 1the one 2delivering me up].

26:47  And yet while he was speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him [2multitude 1a great] with swords and wood spears, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

26:48  And the one delivering him up gave to them a sign, saying, Whom ever I should kiss, it is he; seize him!

26:49  And immediately having come forward to Jesus, he said, Hail, rabbi! And he kissed him.

26:50  And Jesus said to him, Companion, for what reason are you at hand? Then having come forward, they put hands upon Jesus, and seized him.

26:51  And behold, one of the ones with Jesus stretched out the hand, and drew up his sword, and striking the servant of the chief priest, he removed his ear.

26:52  Then [2says 3to him 1Jesus], Return your sword unto its place! for all the ones taking the sword [2by 3a sword 1shall die].

26:53  Or do you think that I am not able just now to call for the aid of my father, and he will stand by me more than twelve legions of angels?

26:54  How then should [3be fulfilled 1the 2scriptures], that thus it must take place?

26:55  In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, As against a robber do you come forth with swords and wood spears to seize me? Daily with you I sat teaching in the temple, and you did not seize me.

26:56  But this entire thing has happened, that [5should be fulfilled 1the 2scriptures 3of the 4prophets]. Then [2the 3disciples 1all] leaving him, fled.

26:57  And the ones seizing Jesus took him away to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

26:58  And Peter followed him from far off, unto the courtyard of the chief priest. And entering inside he sat down with the officers to see the conclusion.

26:59  And the chief priests, and the elders, and the [2sanhedrin 1entire] sought false witness against Jesus, so that they should kill him;

26:60  and they did not find reason; and many false witnesses having come forward did not find reason. But afterwards [3having come forward 1two 2false witnesses],

26:61  they said, This one said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days to rebuild it.

26:62  And having risen up, the chief priest said to him, Nothing you answer? What [2these 4you 1do 3bear witness against]?

26:63  But Jesus kept silent. And responding the chief priest said to him, I adjure you according to the [2God 1living], that to us you should say if you are the Christ, the son of God.

26:64  [2says 3to him 1Jesus], You said it. Furthermore I say to you, From now you shall see the son of man sitting down at the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds of the heaven.

26:65  Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying that, He blasphemed; what still [2need 1do we have] of witnesses? See! now you heard his blasphemy.

26:66  What do you think? And they responding, said, [2liable 3of death 1He is].

26:67  Then they spat in his face; and buffeted him, and some slapped,

26:68  saying, Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one hitting you?

26:69  And Peter outside was sitting in the courtyard. And came forward to him one maidservant, saying, Even you were with Jesus the Galilean.

26:70  But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what you say.

26:71  [3coming forth 1And 2in his] into the vestibule, [2beheld 3him 1another]. And he says to them there, Even this one was with Jesus the Nazarene.

26:72  And again he denied with an oath, that, I do not know the man.

26:73  [2after 3a little while 1And 6having come forward 4the ones 5standing] said to Peter, Truly even you [2of 3them 1are]; for even your speech [2manifest 1makes you].

26:74  Then he began to bind by a curse and swear by an oath that, I have not known the man. And immediately a rooster called out.

26:75  And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, having said to him that, Before a rooster calls out, three times you shall totally reject me. And having gone forth outside he wept bitterly.
