New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,
|
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
|
|
2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.
|
2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
|
|
3 And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,
|
3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.
|
|
4 and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,
|
4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus.
|
|
5 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,
|
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
|
|
6 and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.
|
6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
|
|
7 And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,
|
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
|
|
8 and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'
|
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
|
|
9 and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'
|
9 "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
|
|
10 And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,
|
10 He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters,
|
|
11 and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?
|
11 and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
|
|
12 and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'
|
12 He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."
|
|
13 and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.
|
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
|
|
14 And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,
|
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
|
|
15 and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,
|
15 And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
|
|
16 for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'
|
16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
|
|
17 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,
|
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you.
|
|
18 for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'
|
18 For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
|
|
19 And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye -- to remembrance of me.'
|
19 And he took 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."
|
|
20 In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.
|
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
|
|
21 `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on the table,
|
21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
|
|
22 and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'
|
22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him."
|
|
23 And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.
|
23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
|
|
24 And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them is accounted to be greater.
|
24 Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
|
|
25 And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;
|
25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
|
|
26 but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;
|
26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
|
|
27 for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering.
|
27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
|
|
28 `And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,
|
28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials.
|
|
29 and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,
|
29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
|
|
30 that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'
|
30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
|
31 And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,
|
31 "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.
|
|
32 and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
|
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
|
|
33 And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'
|
33 But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
|
|
34 and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'
|
34 Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."
|
|
35 And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, `Nothing.'
|
35 Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered.
|
|
36 Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,
|
36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
|
|
37 for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'
|
37 It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
|
|
38 And they said, `Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;' and he said to them, `It is sufficient.'
|
38 The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "That is enough," he replied.
|
|
39 And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,
|
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
|
|
40 and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.'
|
40 On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."
|
|
41 And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,
|
41 He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed,
|
|
42 saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me --; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' --
|
42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
|
|
43 And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;
|
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
|
|
44 and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.
|
44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
|
|
45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,
|
45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
|
|
46 and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'
|
46 "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."
|
|
47 And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,
|
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him,
|
|
48 and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'
|
48 but Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
|
|
49 And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'
|
49 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?"
|
|
50 And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,
|
50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
|
|
51 and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.
|
51 But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
|
|
52 And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?
|
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?
|
|
53 while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'
|
53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour--when darkness reigns."
|
|
54 And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,
|
54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.
|
|
55 and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,
|
55 But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.
|
|
56 and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!'
|
56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him."
|
|
57 and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.'
|
57 But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said.
|
|
58 And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.'
|
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." "Man, I am not!" Peter replied.
|
|
59 And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'
|
59 About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean."
|
|
60 and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.
|
60 Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.
|
|
61 And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'
|
61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times."
|
|
62 and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.
|
62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
|
|
63 And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him];
|
63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him.
|
|
64 and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?'
|
64 They blindfolded him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit you?"
|
|
65 and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.
|
65 And they said many other insulting things to him.
|
|
66 And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,
|
66 At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them.
|
|
67 saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe;
|
67 "If you are the Christ, " they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me,
|
|
68 and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away;
|
68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.
|
|
69 henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.'
|
69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."
|
|
70 And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say [it], because I am;'
|
70 They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying I am."
|
|
71 and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.'
|
71 Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."
