Mattityahu 26
26
1And it came about when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach completed all these divrei torah, he said to his talmidim,
2You know, that after two days, there is Pesach, and the Bar Enosh is handed over for talui al HaEtz.#26:2 Dt 21:23; Dan 7:13
3Then the Rashei Hakohanim and the Ziknei haAm (Elders of the People) were assembled in the courtyard of the residence of the Kohen Gadol (High Priest), the one being called Caiapha.
4And they planned to arrest Yehoshua by a trap and kill him.
5But they were saying, Not during the Chag (Feast), lest a riot break out among the am haaretz.#26:5 T.N. A careful reading of this book shows that the Moshiach pointed to the One in Ps 110:1; Dan 7:13, Isaiah 53 and Ps 118:22 and declared that the same person is being referred to in all these Scriptures: Moshiach Adoneinu.
6And, while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in Beit-Anyah in the bais of Shim'on the leper,
7An isha approached him with an alabaster flask of costly perfume, and she poured it out on Moshiachʼs rosh, as he sat bimesibba (reclining at tish).#26:7 table
8And having seen this, Moshiachʼs talmidim were angry, saying, For what is this waste?
9For it would have been possible to sell this for a generous sum and give to the aniyim (poor ones).
10Aware of this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why are you bringing about difficulty for the isha for the ma'aseh tov (good deed) she does to me.
11For the aniyim you have with you always, but you do not always have me.
12For this isha (woman) has poured this ointment on my basar (body) in order to prepare me for kevurah (burial).#26:12 Isa 53:9 Ps 16:9-10
13Omein, I say to you, wherever this Besuras HaGeulah is preached bchol HaOlam (in all the world), in her memory it will be spoken also what was done by her.
14Then, one of the Shneym Asar (Twelve), Yehudah from K'riot, went to the Rashei Hakohanim
15and said, What are you willing to give me? And I will hand him over to you. And they weighed out for him sheloshim shiklei kesef (thirty pieces of silver).
16And from then on he was seeking an opportunity that he might hand Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach over.
17But at the onset of Chag HaMatzot, Moshiachʼs talmidim approached him, saying, Where do you wish we should prepare for you your Seder?
18And he said, Go into the city to such and such person and say to him, Our Rebbe says, My time is at hand. With you I am observing Pesach with my talmidim.
19And the talmidim did as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach commanded them, and they prepared the Seder.
20When erev came, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sitting bimesibba (reclining) at tish with the Shneym Asar Talmidim.
21And as they were eating with their Rebbe, he said, Omein, I say to you that one of you will be my betrayer.
22And much distressed, each one began to say to him, Surely I am not the one, Adoni?
23But, in reply, he said, The one having dipped the hand into the bowl#26:23 Ex 12:8 with me, this one is my betrayer.
24Indeed the Bar Enosh#26:24 Moshiach goes as it was written concerning him, but oy to that man through whom the Bar Enosh is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.
25And, in reply, Yehudah the betrayer of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, said, Surely I am not the one, Rabbi? Moshiach says to Yehudah, You have said it.
26And at the Seudah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having taken matzah, having made HaMotzi, he broke the#26:26 middle matzah, giving the afikoman to the talmidim, and said, Take and eat, this is my basar.
27And having taken the Cup of Redemption and having made the bracha, he gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you.
28For this is my#26:28 Moshiachʼs, see Isa 53:7-8 Dahm HaBrit HaChadasha,#26:28 Isa 42:6; Jer 31:31-34 which is poured out LARABBIM#26:28 Isa 53:11-12 (for many) for the selicha (forgiveness) of chattaim (sins).
29And I say to you, I will by no means drink from now on of this pri hagefen (fruit of the vine) until that Day when I drink it with you chadash (new) in the Malchut Avi.
30And having sung the Hallel, they went out to the Har HaZeytim.
31Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, All of you will be offended at me#26:31 Moshiach during this night, for it has been written, HACH ES HAROEH UTEFUTSEN HATSON#26:31 Zech 13:7 (Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered).
32But after I undergo Techiyas HaMoshiach I will go ahead of you to the Galil.#26:32 Mt 28:7
33And, in reply, Kefa said to him, If everyone will be offended at you, I never will be offended.
34He said to him, Omein, I say to you that balailah hazeh (during this night), before a tarnegol (cock) crows, you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me#26:34 as Moshiach shalosh pe'amim (three times).
35Kefa says to him, Even if it is necessary for me to die al kiddush ha-Shem with you, by no means will I deny you. Likewise all the talmidim spoke also.
36Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes with them to a place being called Gat-Shmanim, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to the talmidim, Sit here until I go over there and daven.
37And having taken Kefa and the two sons of Zavdai, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to be sorrowful and distressed with agmat nefesh (grief).
38Then he says to them, My nefesh is deadly grieved, even to the point of mavet. Remain here and stay awake with me.
39And having gone forward a short distance, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach fell upon his face, davening and saying, Avi, if it is possible, let this Kos pass from me. But not as I will, but as you will.#26:39 Mt 6:10; 12:50
40Then he comes to the talmidim and finds them sleeping, and he says to Kefa, So were you not strong enough to be awake for one hour with me?
41Stay awake and offer tefillos, lest you enter lidey nisayon.#26:41 Mt 6:13 Indeed the ruach is willing but the basar is weak.
42Again, for a second time, having left, he davened, saying, Avi, if it is not possible for this to pass by except I drink it, let yeaseh rtzonechah (your will be done).#26:42 Mt 6:10
43And having come again, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach found the talmidim sleeping, for their eyes were too heavy to stay open.
44And having left them again and having gone away, he was davening for the shlishit (third) time, saying the same words.
45Then he comes to the talmidim and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest. Hinei! The hour is at hand, and the#26:45 Dan 7:13 Bar Enosh is being betrayed into the hands of chote'im (sinners).
46Arise, and let us go. Hinei! My betrayer has drawn near.
47And while he was still speaking hinei! Yehudah, one of the Shneym Asar, came and with him came a great multitude with swords and clubs from the Rashei Hakohanim (Chief Priests) and the Ziknei HaAm (the Elders of the People).
48Now the betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I may give the neshikah (kiss), he is the one. Chap (grab) him!
49And immediately, he approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and said, Shalom, Rebbe. And he gave him the neshikah.
50And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Chaver, do what you came for. Then, having approached, they laid hands on Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and arrested him.
51And hinei! One of the ones with him stretched out his hand, drew his cherev, and struck the servant of the Kohen Gadol, cutting off his ear.
52Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Return your cherev into its place; for all who take the sword will die by the sword.
53Or do you think that I am not able to call upon Avi, and He will provide me now more than Shneym Asar legions of malachim?
54But how then may the Kitvei Hakodesh be fulfilled that say it must happen thus?
55At that moment, he said to the crowd, Do you have the chutzpah (nerve) to come out, as against a revolutionary, with swords and clubs to arrest me? Daily in the Beis Hamikdash I was sitting saying my shiurim and you did not arrest me.
56But this all happened that the Kitvei Hakodesh of the Neviim might be fulfilled. Then the talmidim deserted Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and fled.
57But the ones having arrested Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach led him away to Caiapha the Kohen Gadol, where the Sofrim and the Zekenim (Elders) were gathered together.
58And Kefa was following Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from far away. He followed him as far as the courtyard of the Kohen Gadol and, having gone inside it, Kefa was sitting down with the servants to see the maskana (outcome).
59And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sanhedrin all were seeking edut sheker (false testimony of false witnesses) against Yehoshua so that they might put him to death.
60And they found none, though many shakranim (liars) came forward. At last, two came forward
61and said, This one said, I am able to bring about a churban (destruction) of the Beis Hamikdash of Hashem and within shloshah yamim to rebuild it.
62And having got up, the Kohen Gadol said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Do you answer nothing? For what do these men give edut (testimony) against you?
63But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was silent. And the Kohen Gadol said to him, I adjure you by Hashem, Elohim Chayyim, to tell us if you are the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Ben HaElohim.
64Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, You said it. But I say to you, From now on you will see the Bar Enosh#26:64 Moshiach sitting at the right hand of Gevurah (Power) and his Bias (Coming) will be with ANENEI HASHOMAYIM#26:64 Dan 7:13-14 (clouds of Heaven).
65Then the Kohen Gadol made the keriah (rending, tearing of his garments), saying, He has committed Chillul Hashem. What further need do we have of edut? Hinei! Now you have heard the Chillul Hashem.
66What does it seem to you? And, in reply, they said, He is deserving of mishpat mavet, the death penalty.
67Then they spat into his face and they struck him and they slapped him,
68saying, Give us a dvar nevuah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. Who is the one who hit you?
69Now Kefa was sitting outside in the courtyard. And one maid approached Kefa, saying, And you were with Yehoshua of the Galil!
70But Kefa denied it before everyone, saying, I do not have daas of what you are saying.
71And having gone out to the gate, another saw Kefa and says to the bystanders, There! This one was with Yehoshua of Natzeret!
72And again Kefa denied it with a shevuah (oath), I do not know the man!
73And after a little while the bystanders came and said to Kefa, Truly also you are one of them, for even your accent gives you away!
74Then Kefa began to curse and swear, I do not know the man! And immediately a tarnegol (cock) crowed.
75And Kefa remembered the word which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had said: Before a tarnegol (cock) crows, you will deny me shalosh pe'amim (three times). And Kefa went out and wept bitterly.#26:75 T.N. Read the two Igrot Kodesh of this Kefa, both of which are attested by early Kehillah tradition or manuscript evidence and which follow Ya'akov's letter.

Matthew 26
26
1 #
Mt 7.28; 11.1; 13.53; 19.1. When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 2#Mk 14.1-2; Lk 22.1-2; Jn 11.47-53. “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4and took counsel together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult among the people.”
6 #
Mk 14.3-9; Jn 12.1-8; Lk 7.36-38. Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. 8But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor.” 10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11#Deut 15.11. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12#Jn 19.40. In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
14 #
Mk 14.10-11; Lk 22.3-6. Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15#Ex 21.32; Zech 11.12. and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17 #
Mk 14.12-16; Lk 22.7-13. Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?” 18#Mt 26.45; Jn 7.6; 12.23; 13.1; 17.1. He said, “Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.’ ” 19#Mt 21.6; Deut 16.5-8. And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.
20 #
Mk 14.17-21; Lk 22.14,21-23; Jn 13.21-30. When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples;#26.20 Other authorities omit disciples 21and as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me. 24#Ps 41.9; Lk 24.25; 1 Cor 15.3; Acts 17.2-3; Mt 18.7. The Son of man goes as it is written of 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.” 25Judas, who betrayed him, said, “Is it I, Master?”#26.25 Or Rabbi He said to him, “You have said so.”
26 #
Mk 14.22-25; Lk 22.17-19; 1 Cor 10.16; 11.23-26; Mt 14.19; 15.36. Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you; 28#Heb 9.20; Mt 20.28; Mk 1.4; Ex 24.6-8. for this is my blood of the#26.28 Other ancient authorities insert new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
30 #
Mk 14.26-31; Lk 22.33-34,39; Jn 14.31; 18.1; 13.36-38. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31#Zech 13.7; Jn 16.32. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32#Mt 28.7,10,16. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 33Peter declared to him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” 35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And so said all the disciples.
36 #
Mk 14.32-42; Lk 22.40-46. Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go yonder and pray.” 37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38#Jn 12.27; Heb 5.7-8. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch#26.38 Or keep awake with me.” 39#Jn 18.11; Mt 20.22. And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” 40And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch#26.40 Or keep awake with me one hour? 41#Mt 6.13; Lk 11.4. Watch#26.41 Or keep awake and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42#Jn 4.34; 5.30; 6.38. Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.” 43And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. 45#Mt 26.18; Jn 12.23; 13.1; 17.1. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
47 #
Mk 14.43-50; Lk 22.47-53; Jn 18.2-11. While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him.” 49And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Hail, Master!”#26.49 Or Rabbi And he kissed him. 50#Mt 20.13; 22.12. Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?”#26.50 Or do that for which you have come Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. 51And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52#Gen 9.6; Rev 13.10. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 55#Lk 19.47; Jn 18.19-21. At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 56But all this has taken place, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
57 #
Mk 14.53-72; Lk 22.54-71; Jn 18.12-27. Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. 59Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward 61#Mt 24.2; 27.40; Acts 6.14; Jn 2.19. and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’ ” 62And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 63#Mt 27.11; Jn 18.33. But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64#Mt 16.28; Dan 7.13; Ps 110.1. Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65#Num 14.6; Acts 14.14; Lev 24.16. Then the high priest tore his robes, and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” 67Then they spat in his face, and struck him; and some slapped him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” 71And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you.” 74Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the cock crowed. 75#Mt 26.34. And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
