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
CHAPTER 26
1And it was done, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples,
2Ye know, that after two days pask shall be made, and man’s Son shall be betaken to be crucified.
3Then the princes of priests, and the elder men of the people were gathered into the hall of the prince of priests, that was said Caiaphas,
4and made a counsel to hold Jesus with guile, and slay him;
5but they said, Not in the holiday [or in the feast day], lest peradventure noise were made in the people.
6And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,
7a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him, and shedded it out on the head of him resting.
8And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said, Whereto is this loss?
9for it might be sold for much [or this might have been sold for much], and be given to poor men.
10But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work [or she hath wrought a good work in me].
11For ye shall ever[more] have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me.
12For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did [for] to bury me.
13Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him.
14Then one of the twelve, that was called Judas Iscariot, went forth [or went] to the princes of priests,
15and said to them, What will ye give to me, and I shall betake him to you? And they ordained to him thirty pieces of silver.
16And from that time he sought opportunity, to betray him.
17And in the first day of therf loaves the disciples came to Jesus, and said, Where wilt thou [that] we make ready to thee, to eat pask?
18Jesus said, Go ye into the city to a man, and say to him, The master saith, My time is nigh; at thee I make pask with my disciples.
19And the disciples did, as Jesus commanded to them; and they made the pask ready.
20And when the eventide was come, he sat to [or at the] meat, with his twelve disciples.
21And he said to them, as they ate, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
22And they full sorry, [or made sorrowful greatly], began each by himself to say, Lord, whether I am he?
23And he answered, and said, He that putteth with me his hand in the platter, shall betray me.
24Forsooth man’s Son goeth, as it is written of him; but woe to that man, by whom man’s Son shall be betrayed; it were good to him, if that man had not been born.
25But Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether I am he? Jesus said to him, Thou hast said.
26And while they supped, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take ye, and eat; this is my body.
27And he took the cup, and did thankings, and gave to them, and said, Drink ye all thereof;
28this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many, into remission of sins.
29And I say to you, I shall not drink from this time, of this fruit of the vine, into that day when I shall drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father.
30And when the hymn was said, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31Then Jesus said to them, All ye shall suffer cause of stumbling in me, in this night; for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.
32But after that I shall rise again, I shall go before you into Galilee.
33Peter answered, and said to him, Though all [men] shall be caused to stumble in thee, I shall never be caused to stumble.
34Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, for in this night before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.
35Peter said to him, Yea, though it behooveth that I die with thee, I shall not deny thee. Also all the disciples said.
36Then Jesus came with them into a town, that is said Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go thither, and pray.
37And when he had taken Peter, and two sons of Zebedee, he began to be heavy and sorry [or to be sorrowful and heavy in heart].
38Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful to the death; abide ye here, and wake ye with me.
39And he went forth a little, and felled down on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, pass this cup from me [or this cup pass from me]; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, So, whether ye might not one hour wake with me? [or might ye not one hour wake with me?]
41Wake ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation; for the spirit is ready, but the flesh is sick, [or unstable, or unsteadfast].
42Again the second time he went, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass, but I drink it, thy will be done.
43And again he came, and found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavied.
44And he left them, and went again, and prayed the third time, and said the same word.
45Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep ye now, and rest ye; lo! the hour hath nighed, and man’s Son shall be betaken [or be betrayed] into the hands of sinners;
46rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall take me, is nigh.
47Yet while he spake, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great company, with swords and bats [or staves], sent from the princes of priests, and from the elder men of the people.
48And he that betrayed him, gave to them a token, and said, Whomever I shall kiss, he it is; hold ye him.
49And anon he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master; and he kissed him.
50And Jesus said to him, Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came nigh, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.
51And lo! one of them that were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew out his sword; and he smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his ear.
52Then Jesus said to him, Turn thy sword into his place; for all that take sword, shall perish by sword.
53Whether guessest thou, that I may not pray my Father, and he shall give to me now more than twelve legions of angels?
54How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled? for so it behooveth to be done.
55In that hour Jesus said to the people, As to a thief ye have gone out, with swords and bats [or staves], to take me; day by day I sat among you, and taught in the temple, and ye held me not.
56But all this thing was done, that the scriptures of prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, and left him.
57And they held Jesus, and led him to Caiaphas, the prince of priests, where the scribes and the Pharisees, and the elder men of the people were come together [or where the scribes and the elder men of the people had come together].
58But Peter pursued him afar, into the hall of the prince of priests; and he went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59And the prince of priests, and all the council sought false witnessing against Jesus, that they should [be] take him to death;
60and they found not, when many false witnesses were come. But at the last, two false witnesses came,
61and said, This said, I may destroy the temple of God, and after the third day [or three days] build it again.
62And the prince of priests rose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing to those things, that these witness against thee?
63But Jesus was still. And the prince of priests said to him, I conjure thee by the living God, that thou say to us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God.
64Jesus said to him, Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see man’s Son sitting at the right half of the virtue of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65Then the prince of priests rent his clothes, and said, He hath blasphemed; what yet have we need to witnesses? lo! now ye have heard blasphemy;
66what seemeth to you? And they answered, and said, He is guilty of death.
67Then they spat in his face, and smote him with buffets; and others gave strokes with the palm of their hands in[to] his face,
68and said, Thou Christ, declare [or prophesy] to us, who is he that smote thee?
69And Peter sat without in the hall; and a damsel [or an handmaid] came to him, and said, Thou were with Jesus of Galilee.
70And he denied before all [men], and said, I know not what thou sayest.
71And when he went out at the gate, another damsel [or handmaid] saw him, and said to them that were there, And this was with Jesus of Nazareth.
72And again he denied with an oath, For I knew not the man.
73And a little after, they that stood came, and said to Peter, Truly and thou art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.
74Then he began to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And anon the cock crew.
75And Peter bethought on the word of Jesus, that he had said, Before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
