Matthew 26
26
1And it came to passe, when Iesus had finished all these sayings, he saide vnto his disciples, 2Ye know that after two dayes is ye Passeouer, and the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered to be crucified. 3Then assembled together the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes, and the Elders of ye people into the hall of the high Priest called Caiaphas: 4And consulted together that they might take Iesus by subtiltie, and kill him. 5But they sayd, Not on the feast day, least any vprore be among the people. 6And when Iesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, 7There came vnto him a woman, which had a boxe of very costly oyntment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at the table. 8And when his disciples sawe it, they had indignation, saying, What needed this waste? 9For this oyntment might haue bene solde for much, and bene giuen to the poore. 10And Iesus knowing it, sayde vnto them, Why trouble yee the woman? for shee hath wrought a good woorke vpon me. 11For yee haue the poore alwayes with you, but me shall yee not haue alwaies. 12For in that shee powred this oyntment on my bodie, shee did it to burie me. 13Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall bee preached throughout all the worlde, there shall also this that shee hath done, be spoken of for a memoriall of her. 14Then one of the twelue, called Iudas Iscariot, went vnto the chiefe Priestes, 15And said, What will ye giue me, and I will deliuer him vnto you? and they appoynted vnto him thirtie pieces of siluer. 16And from that time, he sought opportunitie to betraie him. 17Nowe on the first day of the feast of vnleauened bread the disciples came to Iesus, saying vnto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eate the Passeouer? 18And he said, Goe yee into the citie to such a man, and say to him, The master saieth, My time is at hande: I will keepe the Passeouer at thine house with my disciples. 19And the disciples did as Iesus had giuen them charge, and made readie the Passeouer. 20So when the Euen was come, hee sate downe with the twelue. 21And as they did eate, he sayde, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betraie me. 22And they were exceeding sorowfull, and began euery one of them to say vnto him, Is it I, Master? 23And hee answered and sayde, Hee that dippeth his hande with me in the dish, hee shall betraie me. 24Surely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had bene good for that man, if hee had neuer bene borne. 25Then Iudas which betraied him, answered and sayde, Is it I, Master? He sayde vnto him, Thou hast sayd it. 26And as they did eate, Iesus tooke the bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gaue it to the disciples, and sayd, Take, eate: this is my bodie. 27Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thankes, he gaue it them, saying, Drinke ye all of it. 28For this is my blood of the Newe Testament, that is shedde for many, for the remission of sinnes. 29I say vnto you, that I will not drinke henceforth of this fruit of the vine vntil that day, when I shall drinke it new with you in my Fathers kingdome. 30And when they had sung a Psalme, they went out into the mount of Oliues. 31Then saide Iesus vnto them, All yee shall be offended by me this night: for it is written, I wil smite the shepheard, and the sheepe of the flocke shalbe scattered. 32But after I am risen againe, I will go before you into Galile. 33But Peter aunswered, and sayde vnto him, Though that al men should be offended by thee, yet will I neuer be offended. 34Iesus sayde vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, that this night, before the cocke crow, thou shalt denie me thrise. 35Peter saide vnto him, Though I should die with thee, I will in no case denie thee. Likewise also sayd all the disciples. 36Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane, and said vnto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I goe, and pray yonder. 37And hee tooke vnto him Peter, and the two sonnes of Zebedeus, and began to waxe sorowfull, and grieuously troubled. 38Then sayde Iesus vnto them, My soule is very heauie, euen vnto the death: tarie yee here, and watch with me. 39So hee went a litle further, and fell on his face, and praied, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40After, hee came vnto the disciples, and founde them a sleepe, and sayde to Peter, What? coulde yee not watch with me one houre? 41Watch, and praie, that yee enter not into tentation: the spirit in deede is readie, but the flesh is weake. 42Againe he went away the second time, and praied, saying, O my Father, if this cuppe can not passe away from mee, but that I must drinke it, thy will be done. 43And he came, and founde them a sleepe againe, for their eyes were heauie. 44So he left them and went away againe, and praied the third time, saying the same woordes. 45Then came he to his disciples, and said vnto them, Sleepe henceforth, and take your rest: behold, the houre is at hand, and the Sonne of man is giuen into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let vs goe: beholde, hee is at hande that betraieth me. 47And while hee yet spake, loe Iudas, one of the twelue, came, and with him a great multitude with swordes and staues, from the high Priests and Elders of the people. 48Now he that betraied him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomesoeuer I shall kisse, that is he, laie holde on him. 49And forthwith he came to Iesus, and sayd, God saue thee, Master, and kissed him. 50Then Iesus sayde vnto him, Friende, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laide hands on Iesus, and tooke him. 51And behold, one of them which were with Iesus, stretched out his hand, and drewe his sworde, and strooke a seruaunt of the high Priest, and smote off his eare. 52Then sayde Iesus vnto him, Put vp thy sworde into his place: for all that take the sworde, shall perish with the sworde. 53Either thinkest thou, that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will giue me moe then twelue legions of Angels? 54Howe then shoulde the Scriptures bee fulfilled, which say, that it must be so? 55The same houre sayde Iesus to the multitude, Ye be come out as it were against a thiefe, with swordes and staues to take mee: I sate daily teaching in the Temple among you, and yee tooke me not. 56But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsooke him, and fled. 57And they tooke Iesus, and led him to Caiaphas the hie Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled. 58And Peter followed him a farre off vnto the hie Priestes hall, and went in, and sate with the seruants to see the ende. 59Nowe the chiefe Priestes and the Elders, and all the whole councill sought false witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death. 60But they founde none, and though many false witnesses came, yet founde they none: but at the last came two false witnesses, 61And saide, This man saide, I can destroie the Temple of God, and build it in three daies. 62Then the chiefe Priest arose, and sayde to him, Answerest thou nothing? What is the matter that these men witnesse against thee? 63But Iesus helde his peace. Then the chiefe Priest answered, and saide to him, I charge thee sweare vnto vs by the liuing God, to tell vs, If thou be that Christ the Sonne of God, or no. 64Iesus saide to him, Thou hast saide it: neuerthelesse I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see the Sonne of man, sitting at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the cloudes of the heauen. 65Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, saying, Hee hath blasphemed, what haue wee any more neede of witnesses? beholde: nowe yee haue heard his blasphemie. 66What thinke yee? They answered, and said, He is guiltie of death. 67Then spet they in his face, and buffeted him, and other smote him with roddes, 68Saying, Prophecie to vs, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 69Peter sate without in the hall, and a maide came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile: 70But hee denied before them all, saying, I wote not what thou saiest. 71And when hee went out into the porche, another maide sawe him, and sayde vnto them that were there, This man was also with Iesus of Nazareth. 72And againe he denied with an othe, saying, I knowe not the man. 73So after a while, came vnto him they that stoode by, and sayde vnto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for euen thy speache bewraieth thee. 74Then began hee to curse himselfe, and to sweare, saying, I knowe not the man. And immediately the cocke crewe. 75Then Peter remembred the wordes of Iesus, which had sayde vnto him, Before the cocke crowe thou shalt denie me thrise. So he went out, and wept bitterly.

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.
