Matthew 26
26
1It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] finished speaking all these things, he said to his disciples:
2“Do you not know that after two days will be the Pesakh (Seder) and the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of the Yehudim [praise] to be crucified”.
3Then the rulers of the priests and the great ones of the people were gathered together in the court of the chief priest whose name was Kayafa [depression].
4They took counsel together to seize Yeshua [God is Salvation] by craftiness and to kill him.
5But they said it should not be at the feast lest there be a tumult among the people.
6It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] was in Beit-Anyah [house of figs] in the house of Shim’on [he has heard] the leper,
7a woman drew near to him with a flask of costly ointment; she poured it upon his head while he was reclining at table.
8But they said that this waste was very displeasing to them.
9‘It would have been possible to have sold it for a great price and to have given it to the poor’.
10Yeshua [God is Salvation] who knows everything in regard to any matter done, said to them: “Are you making accusation against this woman? Truly she has performed a good and wonderful deed toward me”.
11“Because the poor will be with you always, but I will not be with you always”.
12“Her placing this on my body refers to my burial”.
13“Truly I say to you, everywhere this good news is proclaimed in all the world, that which she has done will be told in reference to my memory”.
14Then one of the Twelve, whose name was Y’hudah [praised] K’riot [cities] went to the chief priests.
15He said: ‘What will you give me that I should deliver Yeshua [God is Salvation] over to you?’ They settled with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16From then on he sought a context for delivering him over.
17On the first day of the festival of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yeshua [God is Salvation] saying: ‘Where shall we prepare for you to eat the Pesakh (Seder)?’
18He said to them: “Go into the city to a certain man who will be a volunteer for the task and say to him: ‘Thus says the Teacher (Rabbi), my time is near; with you I will observe the Pesakh (Seder) with my disciples’”.
19The disciples did as Yeshua [God is Salvation] commanded them; and they prepared the Pesakh (Seder).
20It came to pass at the time of evening, he was sitting at table with his twelve disciples.
21As they were eating he said to them: “I say to you that one of you will inform against me”.
22They were very sad and spoke each one to him saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth] is it I?’
23He answered them: “He who dips his hand with me in the dish, will sell me”. All of them were eating from one dish. Therefore, they did not recognize him; because if they had recognized him they would have destroyed him.
24Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “Truly the Son of Man goes as it is written concerning him; woe to that man for whose sake the Son of Man is betrayed. Good would it be for that man not to have been born”.
25Y’hudah [praised], who sold him, answered and said to him: ‘Rabbi am I this one?’. He said “You have said it”.
26They were eating and Yeshua [God is Salvation] took bread, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous), divided it, gave it to his disciples and said: “Take and eat; this is my body”,
27He took the cup, gave praise to his Father, gave it to them, and said: “Drink from this, all of you”.
28“This is my blood of the new covenant which will be poured out for many for the atonement of sins”
29“I say to you, I will not drink from this time forth (from now on) from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the Kingdom of heaven”.
30And they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
31Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Come, all of you, be offended because of me tonight because it is written: “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered”
32“After my resurrection from death, I will be revealed to you in Galil [circuit]”.
33Kefa [pebble] answered and said to him: ‘If all of them are offended because of you, I will never be offended’.
34Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Truly I say to you, this night before the cock-crow you will deny me three times”.
35Kefa [pebble] said to him: ‘If is arranged for me to die with you, I will not deny you’. Likewise all the disciples said to him.
36Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] came with them to the village of Gat-Sh’manim [Olive Press] and said: “Sit now here until I go there and pray”
37He took Kefa [pebble] and the two sons of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed] and began to be sad and troubled.
38Then he said to them: “My soul is grieved unto death; support me and watch with me”.
39He slowly went forward a little, fell on his face, prayed and said: “My Father, if it is possible, take this cup from me. Indeed let it not be as I will, but according to Your will”.
40He came to his disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Kefa [pebble] “So you are unable to watch with me one hour?”
41“Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation, because truly the Spirit [Ruach] is ready to go to its creator, but the flesh is weak and sick”.
42He went again to pray saying: “My Father if You are not able to remove this cup except I should drink it, let it be done according to Your will”.
43Afterwards he returned and found them sleeping because their eyes were heavy.
44He left them and went to pray a third time according to the first words.
45Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] came to where the disciples were and said to them: “Sleep and be at rest; behold the time has come near when the Son of Man will be delivered into the hand of sinners”.
46“Arise, let us go, for look! he who will betray me is near”.
47While he was speaking, behold Y’hudah [praised] K’riot [cities], one of his twelve disciples, came. With him was a large crowd with swords and whips sent from the chief priests and the princes of the people.
48He who betrayed him had given them a sign: ‘The man whom I kiss is the one whom you are to arrest’.
49Immediately he drew near to Yeshua [God is Salvation] and said to him: ‘Greetings Rabbi’; then he kissed him.
50Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “My friend, what have you done?” They came. stretched out their hand against him and arrested him.
51Behold, one who was with Yeshua [God is Salvation] stretched out his hand, drew his sword, struck one of the servants of the priests, and cut off his ear.
52Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Return your sword to its sheath, for all those who draw the sword will fall by the sword”.
53“Do you not understand that I can appeal to my Father and indeed there would be for me at once more than twelve legions of angels”.
54“But how will the Scripture be fulfilled? Because thus it is intended to be done”.
55Afterwards Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to the crowd: “As if we were thieves, have you come to take me with swords and whips? Was I not with you every day in the temple teaching to you without you hindering me?”
56“Surely all this was done because the writings of the Prophets were being fulfilled”. Then all his disciples left him and fled.
57They led Yeshua [God is Salvation] to the house of Kayafa [depression] the high priest, where all the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] were gathered together.
58Kefa [pebble] was following him at a distance unto the house of the high priest. He entered the house and sat near the craftsmen until he should see the end.
59The chief priests and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] wished to find false witnesses against Yeshua [God is Salvation] in order to put him to death.
60But they did not find even one, though they provided many false witnesses against Yeshua [God is Salvation]. Finally two false witnesses came forward.
61They said: ‘This one said I have the power to destroy the temple of The Most High and after three days to repair it’.
62The high priest arose and said to him: ‘Do you not answer anything against the testimony that these are bearing against you?’
63But Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered not a word. The high priest said to him: ‘I adjure you by the Living Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] that you tell us if you are Ha-Moshiach [Messiah] [The Messiah], the Son of The Mighty One?’
64Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered him: “You say it; but again I say to you, you have yet to see the Son of The Mighty One sitting at the right of the power of The Mighty One coming on the clouds of heaven”.
65Then the high priest tore his garments and said: ‘This one has cursed Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]. What need do we have for other witnesses? Behold all of you have heard how he cursed The Mighty One’.
66‘What do you think can be done?’ They answered: ‘He is guilty of death’.
67Then they spat on his face and struck him on the back, and others slapped him in the face
68saying: ‘Tell us Moshiach [Messiah], who struck you?’.
69Kefa [pebble] was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, and there came near to him a maid who said to him: “Were you not also with Yeshua [God is Salvation] the Galilean?”
70Kefa [pebble] lied to her before all and said to her: “Woman I do not know what you are saying”.
71When he passed through the gate another maid saw him and said to those who were standing there: ‘This man also was with Yeshua [God is Salvation] in Natzeret [separated]’.
72Again he denied Yeshua [God is Salvation] with an oath that he did not know him.
73After a little while, those who were standing in the courtyard drew near to Kefa [pebble] and said to him: ‘You are from this prophet’s group; it is clear from your speech you are one of them’.
74Then he began to deny and to swear that at no time had he known him. Immediately the cock crowed.
75Kefa [pebble] remembered what Yeshua [God is Salvation] had said to him, that before the crowing of the cock he would deny him three times. Then he went outside and wept with bitterness of soul.

Matthew 26
26
1When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 2“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, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. 4They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him. 5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7a 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. 8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me. 11For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me. 12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13Most 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.”
14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17Now 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?”
18He 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.”’”
19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. 24The 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.”
25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?”
He said to him, “You said it.”
26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for#26:26 TR reads “blessed” instead of “gave thanks for” it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it, 28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. 29But 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.”
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31Then 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.’#Zechariah 13:7 32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
33But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
34Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.” 37He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled. 38Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39He 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.”
40He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour? 41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42Again, 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.”
43He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words. 45Then 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. 46Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
47While 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. 48Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.” 49Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 51Behold, 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.
52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword. 53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55In 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. 56But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58But 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.
59Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death, 60and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward 61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
62The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?” 63But 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.”
64Jesus 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.”
65Then 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. 66What do you think?”
They answered, “He is worthy of death!” 67Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71When 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.”
72Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73After 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.”
74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately the rooster crowed. 75Peter 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.
