La Passione, 22–23 Giuda decide di tradire Gesù

1 La festa degli Azzimi, detta la Pasqua, si avvicinava; 2 e i capi dei sacerdoti e gli scribi cercavano il modo di farlo morire, poiché temevano il popolo. 3 Satana entrò in Giuda, chiamato Iscariota, che era nel numero dei dodici. 4 Egli andò a conferire con i capi dei sacerdoti e i capitani^[1] sul modo di consegnarlo nelle loro mani. 5 Essi si rallegrarono e pattuirono di dargli del denaro. 6 Egli fu d’accordo e cercava l’occasione buona per consegnare loro Gesù di nascosto alla folla.

L’ultima Pasqua. La cena del Signore

7 Venne il giorno degli Azzimi, nel quale si doveva sacrificare la Pasqua. 8 Gesù mandò Pietro e Giovanni, dicendo: «Andate a prepararci la cena pasquale, affinché la mangiamo». 9 Essi gli chiesero: «Dove vuoi che la prepariamo?» 10 Ed egli rispose loro: «Quando sarete entrati in città, vi verrà incontro un uomo che porta una brocca d’acqua; seguitelo nella casa dove egli entrerà. 11 E dite al padrone di casa: “Il Maestro ti manda a dire: ‘Dov’è la stanza nella quale mangerò la Pasqua con i miei discepoli?’”. 12 Ed egli vi mostrerà, al piano di sopra, una grande sala ammobiliata; lì apparecchiate». 13 Essi andarono e trovarono come egli aveva detto loro, e prepararono la Pasqua. 14 Quando giunse l’ora, egli si mise a tavola, e gli apostoli con lui. 15 Egli disse loro: «Ho vivamente desiderato di mangiare questa Pasqua con voi, prima di soffrire; 16 poiché io vi dico che non la mangerò più, finché sia compiuta nel regno di Dio». 17 Poi prese un calice e, dopo aver reso grazie, disse: «Prendete questo e distribuitelo fra di voi; 18 perché io vi dico che da ora in poi non berrò più del frutto della vigna, finché sia venuto il regno di Dio». 19 Poi prese del pane e, dopo aver reso grazie, lo spezzò e lo diede loro dicendo: «Questo è il mio corpo che è dato per voi; fate questo in memoria di me». 20 Allo stesso modo, dopo aver cenato, diede loro il calice dicendo: «Questo calice è il nuovo patto nel mio sangue, che è versato per voi.

Gesù rivela che sarà tradito

21 «Del resto, ecco, la mano di colui che mi tradisce è con me sulla tavola. 22 Perché il Figlio dell’uomo, certo, se ne va, come è stabilito; ma guai a quell’uomo per mezzo del quale egli è tradito!» 23 Ed essi cominciarono a domandarsi gli uni gli altri chi mai, tra di loro, sarebbe stato a fare questo.

Chi sia il più grande

24 Fra di loro nacque anche una contesa: chi di essi fosse considerato il più grande. 25 Ma egli disse loro: «I re delle nazioni le signoreggiano, e quelli che le sottomettono al loro dominio sono chiamati benefattori. 26 Ma per voi non deve essere così; anzi, il più grande tra di voi sia come il più piccolo, e chi governa come colui che serve. 27 Perché, chi è più grande: colui che è a tavola oppure colui che serve? Non è forse colui che è a tavola? Ma io sono in mezzo a voi come colui che serve. 28 Or voi siete quelli che avete perseverato con me nelle mie prove; 29 e io dispongo che vi sia dato un regno, come il Padre mio ha disposto che fosse dato a me, 30 affinché mangiate e beviate alla mia tavola nel mio regno, e sediate su troni per giudicare le dodici tribù d’Israele.

Gesù predice il rinnegamento di Pietro

31 «Simone, Simone, ecco, Satana ha chiesto di vagliarvi come si vaglia il grano, 32 ma io ho pregato per te, affinché la tua fede non venga meno; e tu, quando sarai convertito, fortifica i tuoi fratelli^[2]». 33 Ma lui gli disse: «Signore, sono pronto ad andare con te in prigione e alla morte». 34 E Gesù: «Pietro, io ti dico che oggi il gallo non canterà, prima che tu abbia negato tre volte di conoscermi». 35 Poi disse loro: «Quando vi mandai senza borsa, senza sacca da viaggio e senza calzari, vi è forse mancato qualcosa?» Essi risposero: «Niente». Ed egli disse loro: 36 «Ma ora, chi ha una borsa la prenda, così pure una sacca; e chi non ha spada, venda il mantello e ne compri una. 37 Perché io vi dico che in me deve essere adempiuto ciò che è scritto: “Egli è stato contato tra i malfattori”^[3]. Infatti, le cose che si riferiscono a me stanno per compiersi». 38 Ed essi dissero: «Signore, ecco qui due spade!» Ma egli disse loro: «Basta!»

Agonia di Gesù nel giardino del Getsemani

39 Poi, uscito, andò come al solito al monte degli Ulivi; e anche i discepoli lo seguirono. 40 Giunto sul luogo, disse loro: «Pregate di non entrare in tentazione». 41 Egli si staccò da loro circa un tiro di sasso e, postosi in ginocchio, pregava, dicendo: 42 «Padre, se vuoi, allontana da me questo calice! Però non la mia volontà, ma la tua sia fatta». 43 {Allora gli apparve un angelo dal cielo per rafforzarlo. 44 Ed essendo in agonia, egli pregava ancor più intensamente; e il suo sudore diventò come grosse gocce di sangue che cadevano in terra.} 45 E, dopo aver pregato, si alzò, andò dai discepoli e li trovò addormentati per la tristezza, 46 e disse loro: «Perché dormite? Alzatevi e pregate, affinché non entriate in tentazione».

Tradimento di Giuda

47 Mentre parlava ancora, ecco una folla; e colui che si chiamava Giuda, uno dei dodici, la precedeva e si avvicinò a Gesù per baciarlo. 48 Ma Gesù gli disse: «Giuda, tradisci il Figlio dell’uomo con un bacio?» 49 Quelli che erano con lui, vedendo ciò che stava per succedere, dissero: «Signore, dobbiamo colpire con la spada?» 50 E uno di loro percosse il servo del sommo sacerdote e gli recise l’orecchio destro. 51 Ma Gesù intervenne e disse: «Lasciate, basta!» E, toccato l’orecchio di quell’uomo, lo guarì. 52 Gesù disse ai capi dei sacerdoti, ai capitani del tempio e agli anziani che erano venuti contro di lui: «Siete usciti con spade e bastoni, come contro un brigante! 53 Mentre ero ogni giorno con voi nel tempio, non mi avete mai messo le mani addosso; ma questa è l’ora vostra e la potestà delle tenebre».

Arresto di Gesù; il Signore rinnegato tre volte da Pietro

54 Dopo averlo arrestato, lo portarono via e lo condussero nella casa del sommo sacerdote; e Pietro seguiva da lontano. 55 Essi accesero un fuoco in mezzo al cortile, sedendovi intorno. Pietro si sedette in mezzo a loro. 56 Una serva, vedendolo seduto presso il fuoco, lo guardò fisso e disse: «Anche costui era con lui». 57 Ma egli negò, dicendo: «Donna, non lo conosco». 58 E poco dopo, un altro lo vide e disse: «Anche tu sei di quelli». Ma Pietro rispose: «No, uomo, non lo sono». 59 Trascorsa circa un’ora, un altro insisteva, dicendo: «Certo, anche questi era con lui, poiché è Galileo». 60 Ma Pietro disse: «Uomo, io non so quello che dici». E subito, mentre parlava ancora, un gallo cantò. 61 E il Signore, voltatosi, guardò Pietro; e Pietro si ricordò della parola che il Signore gli aveva detta: «Oggi, prima che il gallo canti, tu mi rinnegherai tre volte». 62 E, andato fuori, pianse amaramente.

Gesù flagellato e percosso

63 Gli uomini che tenevano Gesù lo schernivano percuotendolo; 64 poi lo bendarono e gli domandavano: «Indovina! Chi ti ha percosso?» 65 E dicevano molte altre cose contro di lui, bestemmiando. 66 Appena fu giorno, gli anziani del popolo, i capi dei sacerdoti e gli scribi si riunirono e lo condussero nel loro sinedrio^[4], dicendo: 67 «Se tu sei il Cristo, diccelo». Ma egli disse loro: «Anche se ve lo dicessi, non credereste; 68 e se io vi facessi delle domande, non rispondereste. 69 Ma da ora in avanti il Figlio dell’uomo sarà seduto alla destra della potenza di Dio^[5]». 70 E tutti dissero: «Sei tu, dunque, il Figlio di Dio?» Ed egli rispose loro: «Voi lo dite^[6]; io sono^[7]». 71 E quelli dissero: «Che bisogno abbiamo ancora di testimonianza? Lo abbiamo udito noi stessi dalla sua bocca».

1 Es nahte aber das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote, das Passah genannt wird. (Le 23,5; Lu 22,7) 2 Und die Hohen Priester und die Schriftgelehrten suchten, wie sie ihn heimlich umbringen könnten, denn sie fürchteten das Volk.

7 Es kam aber der Tag ⟨des Festes⟩ der ungesäuerten Brote, an dem das Passah⟨lamm⟩ geschlachtet werden musste. (Lu 22,1) 8 Und er sandte Petrus und Johannes und sprach: Geht hin und bereitet uns das Passah⟨mahl⟩, dass wir es essen! 9 Sie aber sprachen zu ihm: Wo willst du, dass wir es bereiten? 10 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Siehe, wenn ihr in die Stadt kommt, wird euch ein Mensch begegnen, der einen Krug Wasser trägt. Folgt ihm in das Haus, wo er hineingeht! 11 Und ihr sollt zu dem Herrn des Hauses sagen: Der Lehrer sagt dir: Wo ist das Gastzimmer, wo ich mit meinen Jüngern das Passah⟨mahl⟩ essen kann? 12 Und jener wird euch einen großen, ⟨mit Polstern⟩ ausgelegten^[3] Obersaal zeigen. Dort bereitet es! 13 Als sie aber hingingen, fanden sie es, wie er ihnen gesagt hatte; und sie bereiteten das Passah⟨mahl⟩. (Lu 19,32) 14 Und als die Stunde gekommen war, legte er sich zu Tisch und die Apostel mit ihm. 15 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Mit Sehnsucht habe ich mich gesehnt^[4], dieses Passah⟨mahl⟩ mit euch zu essen, ehe ich leide. 16 Denn ich sage euch, dass ich es gewiss nicht ⟨mehr⟩ essen werde, bis es erfüllt sein wird im Reich^[5] Gottes. (Lu 22,30) 17 Und er nahm einen Kelch, dankte und sprach: Nehmt diesen und teilt ihn unter euch! 18 Denn ich sage euch, dass ich von nun an nicht von dem Gewächs des Weinstocks trinken werde, bis das Reich^[6] Gottes kommt.

Ankündigung des Verrats – Wahre Größe im Reich Gottes – Ankündigung der Verleugnung durch Petrus und der Vollendung Jesu

21 Doch siehe, die Hand dessen, der mich überliefert, ist mit mir auf dem Tisch. 22 Und der Sohn des Menschen geht zwar dahin, wie es beschlossen ist. Wehe aber jenem Menschen, durch den er überliefert wird! (Lu 17,1; At 2,23; 1Co 15,3) 23 Und sie fingen an, sich untereinander zu befragen, wer es wohl von ihnen sei, der dies tun werde. 24 Es entstand aber auch ein Streit unter ihnen, wer von ihnen für den Größten zu halten sei. (Lu 9,46) 25 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Die Könige der Nationen herrschen über sie, und die Gewalt über sie üben, lassen sich Wohltäter nennen. (Mat 20,25) 26 Ihr aber nicht so! Sondern der Größte unter euch sei wie der Jüngste und der Führende wie der Dienende. (Mat 23,11; Lu 9,48; Fili 2,3; 1P 5,3)

31 ^[10] Der Herr aber sprach:^[11] Simon, Simon! Siehe, der Satan hat euer begehrt, euch zu sichten wie den Weizen. (Giob 1,11; 2Co 2,11) 32 Ich aber habe für dich gebetet, dass dein Glaube nicht aufhört. Und wenn du einst zurückgekehrt bist, so stärke deine Brüder! (Sal 51,15) 33 Er aber sprach zu ihm: Herr, mit dir bin ich bereit, auch ins Gefängnis und in den Tod zu gehen. 34 Er aber sprach: Ich sage dir, Petrus, der Hahn wird heute nicht krähen, ehe du dreimal geleugnet hast, dass du mich kennst. (Lu 22,61) 35 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Als ich euch ohne Börse und Tasche und Sandalen sandte, mangelte euch wohl etwas? Sie aber sagten: Nichts. (Lu 9,3) 36 Er sprach nun zu ihnen: Aber jetzt, wer eine Börse hat, der nehme sie und ebenso eine Tasche, und wer nicht hat^[12], verkaufe sein Gewand und kaufe ein Schwert; 37 denn ich sage euch, dass noch dieses, was geschrieben steht, an mir erfüllt werden muss: »Und er ist unter die Gesetzlosen gerechnet worden«; denn auch das, was mich betrifft, hat eine Vollendung. (Is 53,12; Lu 23,33) 38 Sie aber sprachen: Herr, siehe, hier sind zwei Schwerter. Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Es ist genug. (Mat 26,30; Mar 14,26)

Gethsemane

39 Und er ging hinaus und begab sich der Gewohnheit nach zum Ölberg; es folgten ihm aber auch die Jünger. (Lu 21,37; Giov 14,31) 40 Als er aber an den Ort gekommen war, sprach er zu ihnen: Betet, dass ihr nicht in Versuchung kommt! 41 Und er zog sich ungefähr einen Steinwurf weit von ihnen zurück und kniete nieder, betete 42 und sprach: Vater, wenn du willst, nimm diesen Kelch von mir weg – doch nicht mein Wille, sondern der deine geschehe! (Mat 6,10) 43 ^[13] Es erschien ihm aber ein Engel vom Himmel, der ihn stärkte. (1Re 19,5; Mat 4,11) 44 Und als er in Angst^[14] war, betete er heftiger. Es wurde aber sein Schweiß wie große Blutstropfen, die auf die Erde herabfielen.^[15] (Col 1,29) 45 Und er stand auf vom Gebet, kam zu den Jüngern und fand sie eingeschlafen vor Traurigkeit. 46 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Was schlaft ihr? Steht auf und betet, damit ihr nicht in Versuchung kommt! (Mat 26,47; Mar 14,43; Giov 18,2)

Gefangennahme

47 Während er noch redete, siehe, ⟨da kam⟩ eine Volksmenge, und der, welcher Judas hieß, einer von den Zwölfen, ging vor ihnen her und nahte sich Jesus, um ihn zu küssen. (Lu 22,3; At 1,16) 48 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Judas, überlieferst du den Sohn des Menschen mit einem Kuss? (Lu 6,16) 49 Als aber die, welche um ihn waren, sahen, was es werden würde, sprachen sie: Herr, sollen wir mit dem Schwert dreinschlagen? 50 Und einer von ihnen schlug den Knecht^[16] des Hohen Priesters und hieb ihm das rechte Ohr ab. 51 Jesus aber antwortete und sprach: Lasst es soweit! Und er rührte sein Ohr an und heilte ihn. 52 Jesus aber sprach zu den Hohen Priestern^[17] und Hauptleuten des Tempels und Ältesten, die gegen ihn gekommen waren: Seid ihr ausgezogen wie gegen einen Räuber, mit Schwertern und Stöcken? 53 Als ich täglich bei euch im Tempel war, habt ihr die Hände nicht gegen mich ausgestreckt; aber dies ist eure Stunde und die Macht^[18] der Finsternis.

Verleugnung durch Petrus

54 Sie ergriffen ihn aber und führten ihn hin und brachten ihn in das Haus des Hohen Priesters. Petrus aber folgte von Weitem. 55 Als sie aber mitten im Hof ein Feuer angezündet und sich zusammengesetzt hatten, setzte sich Petrus in ihre Mitte. 56 Es sah ihn aber eine Magd bei dem Feuer sitzen und blickte ihn scharf an und sprach: Auch dieser war mit ihm. 57 Er aber leugnete und sagte: Frau, ich kenne ihn nicht. 58 Und kurz danach sah ihn ein anderer und sprach: Auch du bist ⟨einer⟩ von ihnen. Petrus aber sprach: Mensch, ich bin es nicht. 59 Und nach Verlauf von etwa einer Stunde behauptete ein anderer und sagte: In Wahrheit, auch dieser war mit ihm, denn er ist auch ein Galiläer. 60 Petrus aber sprach: Mensch, ich weiß nicht, was du sagst. Und sogleich, während er noch redete, krähte ein Hahn. 61 Und der Herr wandte sich um und blickte Petrus an; und Petrus erinnerte sich an das Wort des Herrn, wie er zu ihm sagte: Bevor ein Hahn heute kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen. (Lu 22,34; Giov 1,42) 62 Und Petrus ging hinaus und weinte bitterlich. (Mat 26,59; Mat 27,1; Mar 14,55; Mar 15,1; Giov 18,19)

Vor dem Hohen Rat

63 Und die Männer, die ihn festhielten, verspotteten und schlugen ihn. (Is 50,6; Mat 20,19; Lu 18,32) 64 Und als sie ihn verhüllt hatten, fragten sie ihn und sprachen: Weissage, wer ist es, der dich schlug? 65 Und vieles andere sagten sie lästernd gegen ihn. 66 Und als es Tag wurde, versammelte sich die Ältestenschaft des Volkes, Hohe Priester^[19] sowie Schriftgelehrte, und führten ihn hin in ihren Hohen Rat^[20] (At 4,26) 67 und sagten: Wenn du der Christus bist, so sage es uns! Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Wenn ich es euch sagte, so würdet ihr nicht glauben; (Giov 3,12) 68 wenn ich aber fragen würde, so würdet ihr mir nicht antworten. 69 Von nun an aber wird der Sohn des Menschen sitzen zur Rechten der Macht Gottes. (Lu 20,43; At 7,56) 70 Sie sprachen aber alle: Du bist also der Sohn Gottes? Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Ihr sagt es; ich bin es. (Mat 27,43) 71 Sie aber sprachen: Was brauchen wir noch Zeugnis? Denn wir selbst haben es aus seinem Mund gehört. (Mat 27,2; Mar 15,1; Giov 18,28)

English Standard Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover. (Mat 26,2; Mar 14,1; Giov 6,4) 2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people. (Mat 21,46; Giov 11,53)

Judas to Betray Jesus

3 Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. (Mat 26,14; Mat 27,3; Mar 14,10; Lu 6,16; Giov 6,71; Giov 12,4; Giov 13,2; Giov 13,27; Giov 13,30; At 1,16; At 5,3)

Mat 26,14Mat 27,3Mar 14,10Lu 6,16Giov 6,71Giov 12,4Giov 13,2Giov 13,27Giov 13,30At 1,16At 5,3

4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. (At 4,1; At 5,24; At 5,26) 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd. (Mat 20,18)

The Passover with the Disciples

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. (Eso 12,18; Mat 26,17; Mar 14,12; 1Co 5,7)

Eso 12,18Mat 26,17Mar 14,121Co 5,7

8 So Jesus^[1] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” 9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ (Lu 2,7; Giov 11,28) 12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” (At 1,13) 13 And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. (Lu 19,32)

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. (Mat 26,20; Mar 14,17) 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it^[2] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” (Lu 14,15; Lu 22,30; Ap 19,9) 17 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. (Mat 15,36) 18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” (Mat 26,29; Mar 14,25; Lu 22,16) 19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” (Mat 26,26; Mar 14,22; Lu 22,17; Giov 6,53; 1Co 10,16; 1Co 11,23)

Mat 26,26Mar 14,22Lu 22,17Giov 6,531Co 10,161Co 11,23

20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.^[3] (Eso 24,8; Zac 9,11; Lu 22,19; 2Co 3,6; Eb 13,20)

Eso 24,8Zac 9,11Lu 22,192Co 3,6Eb 13,20

21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. (Sal 41,9; Mat 26,21; Mar 14,18; Giov 13,18; Giov 13,21)

Sal 41,9Mat 26,21Mar 14,18Giov 13,18Giov 13,21

22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” (At 2,23) 23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

24 A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. (Mar 9,34; Lu 9,46) 25 And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. (Mat 18,1; Mat 20,25; Mar 10,42; 1P 5,3)

Mat 18,1Mat 20,25Mar 10,421P 5,3

26 But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. (Mat 23,11; Lu 9,48; Lu 22,25) 27 For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (Mat 20,28; Lu 12,37) 28 “You are those who have stayed with me in my trials, (Eb 2,18; Eb 4,15) 29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, (Mat 25,34; Mat 28,18; Giov 17,18; At 14,22; 2Ti 2,12; Ap 1,6)

Mat 25,34Mat 28,18Giov 17,18At 14,222Ti 2,12Ap 1,6

30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mat 8,11; Mat 19,28; Lu 13,29; Lu 14,15; Lu 22,16; At 26,7; Giac 1,1; Ap 21,12)

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you,^[4] that he might sift you like wheat, (Giob 1,6; Giob 2,1; Am 9,9; Giov 16,32; 1Co 5,5; 2Co 2,11; 1P 5,8)

Giob 1,6Giob 2,1Am 9,9Giov 16,321Co 5,52Co 2,111P 5,8

32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Sal 51,13; Giov 17,9; Giov 17,11; Giov 17,15; Giov 21,15)

Sal 51,13Giov 17,9Giov 17,11Giov 17,15Giov 21,15

33 Peter^[5] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” (Giov 21,19; At 12,4) 34 Jesus^[6] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” (Mat 26,33; Mar 14,29; Giov 13,37)

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” (Mat 10,9; Mar 6,8; Lu 9,3; Lu 10,4)

Mat 10,9Mar 6,8Lu 9,3Lu 10,4

36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” (Is 53,12; Mat 1,22; Lu 13,33; Giov 17,4; Giov 19,30; At 1,16)

Is 53,12Mat 1,22Lu 13,33Giov 17,4Giov 19,30At 1,16

38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.” (De 3,26; Mar 14,41; Lu 22,49)

39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. (Mat 21,1; Mat 26,30; Mar 14,26; Lu 21,37; Giov 18,1; Giov 18,2)

Mat 21,1Mat 26,30Mar 14,26Lu 21,37Giov 18,1Giov 18,2

40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (Mat 6,13; Mat 26,36; Mar 14,32; Giov 18,2; 1P 4,7)

Mat 6,13Mat 26,36Mar 14,32Giov 18,21P 4,7

41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, (At 7,60) 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (Mat 6,10; Mat 20,22; Eb 5,7) 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. (Mat 4,11; Eb 1,14) 44 And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^[7] (Lu 22,42) 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (Lu 22,40)

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, (Mat 26,47; Mar 14,43; Lu 22,3; Giov 18,3)

Mat 26,47Mar 14,43Lu 22,3Giov 18,3

48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” (Lu 22,38) 50 And one of them struck the servant^[8] of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? (Lu 22,4) 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” (Mar 14,35; Mar 14,41; Lu 2,46; Giov 8,2; Giov 12,27; Giov 16,4; Giov 18,20; At 26,18; Ef 6,12)

Peter Denies Jesus

54 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house, and Peter was following at a distance. (Mat 26,57; Mat 26,58; Mar 14,53; Mar 14,54; Giov 18,15)

Mat 26,57Mat 26,58Mar 14,53Mar 14,54Giov 18,15

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. (Mat 26,3; Mat 26,69; Mar 14,66; Giov 18,16; Giov 18,25)

Mat 26,3Mat 26,69Mar 14,66Giov 18,16Giov 18,25

56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59 And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” (At 12,15) 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” (Mar 10,21; Lu 22,34; At 3,13) 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Is Mocked

63 Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. (Mat 26,67; Mar 14,65; Giov 18,22) 64 They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” (Lu 7,39; Lu 22,63) 65 And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him. (Mat 27,39)

Jesus Before the Council

66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said, (Mat 5,22; Mat 26,63; Mat 27,1; Mar 14,61; Mar 15,1; Lu 22,67; Giov 18,19; Giov 18,28; At 22,5)

Mat 5,22Mat 26,63Mat 27,1Mar 14,61Mar 15,1Lu 22,67Giov 18,19Giov 18,28At 22,5

67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, (Mat 1,17; Giov 10,24) 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” (Mar 16,19; At 7,56; Eb 1,3) 70 So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.” (Mat 14,33; Mat 26,25; Mat 27,11; Mar 15,2; Lu 23,3)

Mat 14,33Mat 26,25Mat 27,11Mar 15,2Lu 23,3

71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”

King James Version

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. 66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
