1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
1
When Jesus had finished saying all this, He told His disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
2
"You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."
3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
3
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
4
and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill Him.
5 But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.
5
"Not during the festival," they said, "so there won't be rioting among the people."
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6
While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had a serious skin disease,
7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.
7
a woman approached Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive fragrant oil. She poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table.
8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
8
When the disciples saw it, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.
9 For this [ointment] might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
9
"This might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor."
10 But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
10
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for Me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
11
You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.
12 For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
12
By pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she has prepared Me for burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
13
I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
14
Then one of the Twelve-the man called Judas Iscariot-went to the chief priests
15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.
15
and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?" So they weighed out 30 pieces of silver for him.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them.]
16
And from that time he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.
17 Now on the first [day] of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
17
On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare the Passover so You may eat it?"
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
18
"Go into the city to a certain man," He said, "and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with My disciples. ' "
19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
19
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;
20
When evening came, He was reclining at the table with the Twelve.
21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
21
While they were eating, He said, "I assure you: One of you will betray Me."
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
22
Deeply distressed, each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"
23 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
23
He replied, "The one who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl-he will betray Me.
24 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
24
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
25 And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
25
Then Judas, His betrayer, replied, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" "You have said it," He told him.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
26
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take and eat it; this is My body."
27 And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
27
Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said, "Drink from it, all of you.
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.
28
For this is My blood [that establishes] the covenant; it is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
29
But I tell you, from this moment I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in My Father's kingdom with you."
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.
30
After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
31
Then Jesus said to them, "Tonight all of you will run away because of Me, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
32
But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
33 But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
33
Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away because of You, I will never run away!"
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
34
"I assure you," Jesus said to him, "tonight-before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times!"
35 Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
35
"Even if I have to die with You," Peter told Him, "I will never deny You!" And all the disciples said the same thing.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
36
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.
37
Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.
38
Then He said to them, "My soul is swallowed up in sorrow -to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with Me."
39 And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
39
Going 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."
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
40
Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, "So, couldn't you stay awake with Me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
41
Stay awake and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.
42
Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done."
43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
43
And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.
44 And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.
44
After leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
45 Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45
Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the time is near. The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
46
Get up; let's go! See-My betrayer is near."
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.
47
While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.
48
His betrayer had given them a sign: "The One I kiss, He's the One; arrest Him!"
49 And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
49
So he went right up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!"-and kissed Him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
50
"Friend," Jesus asked him, "why have you come?" Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested Him.
51 And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
51
At that moment one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the high priest's slave and cut off his ear.
52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
52
Then Jesus told him, "Put your sword back in place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.
53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
53
Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions of angels?
54 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
54
How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?"
55 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.
55
At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, to capture Me? Every day I used to sit, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn't arrest Me.
56 But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
56
But all this has happened so that the prophetic Scriptures would be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted Him and ran away.
57 And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
57
Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had convened.
58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.
58
Meanwhile, Peter was following Him at a distance right to the high priest's courtyard. He went in and was sitting with the temple police to see the outcome.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
59
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus so they could put Him to death.
60 and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
60
But they could not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. Finally, two who came forward
61 and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
61
stated, "This man said, 'I can demolish God's sanctuary and rebuild it in three days.' "
62 And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
62
The high priest then stood up and said to Him, "Don't You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?"
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
63
But Jesus kept silent. Then the high priest said to Him, "By the living God I place You under oath: tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God!"
64 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
64
"You have said it," Jesus told him. "But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven ."
65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
65
Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Look, now you've heard the blasphemy!
66 what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
66
What is your decision?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
67 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
67
Then they spit in His face and beat Him; others slapped Him
68 saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?
68
and said, "Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who hit You?"
69 Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.
69
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant approached him and she said, "You were with Jesus the Galilean too."
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
70
But he denied it in front of everyone: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
71
When he had gone out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene!"
72 And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
72
And again he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man!"
73 And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.
73
After a little while those standing there approached and said to Peter, "You certainly are one of them, since even your accent gives you away."
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.
74
Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, "I do not know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed,
75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
75
and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.
