The Good News According to Matthew
26. fejezet
1. vers
When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
2. vers
“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3. vers
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4. vers
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
5. vers
But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6. vers
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7. vers
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8. vers
But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9. vers
For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10. vers
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
11. vers
For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
12. vers
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13. vers
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
14. vers
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15. vers
and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16. vers
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17. vers
Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18. vers
He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
19. vers
The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20. vers
Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21. vers
As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22. vers
They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23. vers
He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
24. vers
The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25. vers
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
26. vers
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27. vers
He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
28. vers
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29. vers
But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
30. vers
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31. vers
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32. vers
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33. vers
But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
34. vers
Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35. vers
Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
36. vers
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
37. vers
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
38. vers
Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39. vers
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
40. vers
He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
41. vers
Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42. vers
Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
43. vers
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44. vers
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45. vers
Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46. vers
Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
47. vers
While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48. vers
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
49. vers
Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50. vers
Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51. vers
Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52. vers
Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53. vers
Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54. vers
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55. vers
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
56. vers
But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57. vers
Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
58. vers
But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59. vers
Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
60. vers
and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
61. vers
and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62. vers
The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
63. vers
But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64. vers
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65. vers
Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66. vers
What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
67. vers
Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68. vers
saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69. vers
Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
70. vers
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71. vers
When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72. vers
Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73. vers
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74. vers
Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
75. vers
Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
