2 And the Chag HaMatzot was approaching, the feast called Pesach.
2
And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might destroy him, for they were afraid of the people.
3
And Hasatan entered into Yehudah, the one being called Yehudah from Kriot, being one of the Shneym Asar.
4
And having departed, Yehudah spoke with the Rashei Hakohanim and Ketzinim (Officers) of the Beis Hamikdash how he might hand him over to them.
5
And they got a lot of geshmak out of this, and they agreed to pay him kesef. [ZECHARYAH 11:12]
6
And Yehudah consented and he was seeking an opportunity to betray him when there was no multitude with them.
7
Shoin (already) now came the Yom HaMatzot, in which it was necessary to sacrifice the Pesach Korban, the Seh (Lamb, Isa 53:7). [Ex 12:18-20; Dt 16:58]
8
And he sent Kefa and Yochanan, having said, Go and make our preparations that we may eat and have the Pesach Seder.
9
And they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Where do you wish that we should prepare it?
10
And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Hinei. When you enter into HaIr, you will meet a man carrying a jar of mayim. Follow him into the bais (house) into which he enters,
11
And you will say to the Baal Bayit, The Rebbe says to you, Where is the mekom linah (guest room) where I may conduct the Pesach Seder with my talmidim?
12
And that one will show you a large aliyyah having been furnished: there prepare the Seder.
13
And having departed, they found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Seder.
14
And when the hour came, he reclined at tish and the Moshiach’s Shlichim were with him.
15
And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With great tshuka (deep and sincere desire, longing) I have desired to eat this Pesach with you before I suffer.
16
For I say to you, I may by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the Malchut Hashem.
17
And having taken the Cup of Redemption, having made the bracha, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Take this, and share it among yourselves.
18
For I say to you, from now on by no means shall I drink from the p’ri hagefen until the Malchut Hashem comes.
19
And having taken the Afikoman and having made the hamotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach broke the matzah and gave it to them, saying, This is my BASAR (SHEMOT 12:8) being given for you: this do in zikaron (remembrance) of me. [Lv 5:7; 6:23; Ezek 43:21; Isa 53:8]
20
And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the kos (cup) similarly after they ate, saying, This kos (cup) is HaBrit HaChadasha in my dahm, being shed for you. [Ex 24:8; Isa 42:6; Jer 31:31-34; Zech 9:11; 53:10-12]
21
Nevertheless, hinei, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the tish (table) [TEHILLIM 41:9]
22
Because the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) indeed goes according to the thing having been determined: but oy to that man through whom he is betrayed.
23
And they began to discuss among themselves who then it might be among them that would do this.
24
And there came about also a dispute among them, as to which of them seemed to be the Gadol.
25
And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The melachim (kings) of the Goyim domineer them and the ones having shlita (control) over the Goyim are called benefactors.
26
But with you it is not so, but he of the Gedolim among you, let him be as the youngest, and he of the Manhigim, as the one serving.
27
For who is HaGadol? The one reclining at tish or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining at tish? But I am in your midst as one serving.
28
But you are the ones having remained with me in my nisyonos (temptations).
29
And I assign shlita (authority) to you, just as Avi assigned shlita to me; a Malchut (Kingdom),
30
That you may eat and drink at my tish in my Malchut, and you will sit upon kissot (thrones) judging the Shneym Asar Shivtei Yisroel (Twelve Tribes of Yisroel).
31
Shimon, Shimon, hinei, Hasatan asked for you, to sift you like wheat [IYOV 1:6-12; AMOS 9:9]
32
But I davened for you, that your emunah may not fail: and when you have made teshuva, give chizzuk to your Achim bMoshiach.
33
But Shimon Kefa said to him, Adoni, with you I am prepared even to go to the beis hasohar, even to die al kiddush ha-Shem.
34
But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, I say to you, a tarnegol will not crow hayom until shalosh paamim you, Kefa, will make hakhchashah (denial) of your daas of me.
35
He said to them, When I sent you without a money belt and a bag and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
36
Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, But now the one having a money belt, let him take it; likewise also a bag; and the one not having, let him sell his kaftan and let him buy a cherev.
37
For I say to you, that it is necessary that what stands written be fulfilled in me, VES POSHEIM NIMNAH (and with lawless persons he was numbered YESHAYAH 53:12). For indeed what was written about me is being fulfilled.
38
And they said, Adoni, hinei, here are shtei charavot (two swords). And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is enough.
