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
The Plot to Kill Jesus
(Mark 14:1–2; Luke 22:1–2; John 11:45–57)
1When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples, 2“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him. 5“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
(Mark 14:3–9; Luke 7:36–50; John 12:1–8)
6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,#26:6 Aramaic Simon the Potter or Simon the Jar Maker 7a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste? 9This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me. 11The poor you will always have with you,#26:11 See Deuteronomy 15:11. but you will not always have Me. 12By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial. 13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
(Mark 14:10–11; Luke 22:3–6)
14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Preparing the Passover
(Mark 14:12–16; Luke 22:7–13)
17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,#26:17 Literally On the first of the Unleavened; see Exodus 12:14–20. the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
The Last Supper
(Mark 14:17–26; Luke 22:14–23; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.#26:20 BYZ and TR the Twelve 21And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
22They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me. 24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”
Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
27Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28This is My blood of the covenant,#26:28 BYZ and TR the new covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you, 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.”
30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
(Zechariah 13:7–9; Mark 14:27–31; Luke 22:31–38; John 13:36–38)
31Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written:
‘I will strike the Shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’#26:31 Zechariah 13:7
32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
34“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
Jesus Prays at Gethsemane
(Mark 14:32–42; Luke 22:39–46)
36At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
39Going 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.”
40Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter. 41“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
42A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.” 43And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
44So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing. 45Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
The Betrayal of Jesus
(Mark 14:43–52; Luke 22:47–53; John 18:1–14)
47While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.” 49Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.”#26:50 Or “Friend,” Jesus replied, “for what have you come?”
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him. 51At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts,#26:55 Literally the temple and you did not arrest Me. 56But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
Jesus before the Sanhedrin
(Mark 14:53–65; Luke 22:66–71; John 18:19–24)
57Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered. 58But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
59Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin #26:59 Or the whole Council were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death. 60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.
Finally two came forward 61and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
63But Jesus remained silent.
Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power #26:64 Or the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”#26:64 See Psalms 110:1 and Daniel 7:13.
65At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66What do you think?”
“He deserves to die,” they answered.
67Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him 68and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
Peter Denies Jesus
(Mark 14:66–72; Luke 22:54–62; John 18:15–18)
69Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
70But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
71When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “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, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
74At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!”
And immediately a rooster crowed.
75Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
