Matthew 26

Authored by: American Standard Version
26:1
Και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο Ιησους παντας τους λογους τουτους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
26:2
Οιδατε οτι μετα δυο ημερας το πασχα γινεται και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις το σταυρωθηναι
Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
26:3
Τοτε συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου εις την αυλην του αρχιερεως του λεγομενου Καιαφα
Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
26:4
και συνεβουλευσαντο ινα τον Ιησουν δολω κρατησωσιν και αποκτεινωσιν
and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
26:5
ελεγον δε Μη εν τη εορτη ινα μη θορυβος γενηται εν τω λαω
But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.
26:6
Του δε Ιησου γενομενου εν Βηθανια εν οικια Σιμωνος του λεπρου
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
26:7
προσηλθεν αυτω γυνη εχουσα αλαβαστρον μυρου βαρυτιμου και κατεχεεν επι της κεφαλης αυτου ανακειμενου
there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.
26:8
Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται ηγανακτησαν λεγοντες Εις τι η απωλεια αυτη
But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
26:9
εδυνατο γαρ τουτο πραθηναι πολλου και δοθηναι πτωχοις
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
26:10
Γνους δε ο Ιησους ειπεν αυτοις Τι κοπους παρεχετε τη γυναικι εργον γαρ καλον ηργασατο εις εμε
But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
26:11
παντοτε γαρ τους πτωχους εχετε μεθ εαυτων εμε δε ου παντοτε εχετε
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
26:12
βαλουσα γαρ αυτη το μυρον τουτο επι του σωματος μου προς το ενταφιασαι με εποιησεν
For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
26:13
αμην λεγω υμιν οπου εαν κηρυχθη το ευαγγελιον τουτο εν ολω τω κοσμω λαληθησεται και ο εποιησεν αυτη εις μνημοσυνον αυτης
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
26:14
Τοτε πορευθεις εις των δωδεκα ο λεγομενος Ιουδας Ισκαριωτης προς τους αρχιερεις
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
26:15
ειπεν Τι θελετε μοι δουναι καγω υμιν παραδωσω αυτον οι δε εστησαν αυτω τριακοντα αργυρια
and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.
26:16
και απο τοτε εζητει ευκαιριαν ινα αυτον παραδω
And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them.
26:17
Τη δε πρωτη των αζυμων προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω Ιησου λεγοντες Που θελεις ετοιμασωμεν σοι φαγειν το πασχα
Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
26:18
Ο δε ειπεν Υπαγετε εις την πολιν προς τον δεινα και ειπατε αυτω Ο Διδασκαλος λεγει Ο καιρος μου εγγυς εστιν προς σε ποιω το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
26:19
και εποιησαν οι μαθηται ως συνεταξεν αυτοις ο Ιησους και ητοιμασαν το πασχα
And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
26:20
Οψιας δε γενομενης ανεκειτο μετα των δωδεκα
Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;
26:21
και εσθιοντων αυτων ειπεν Αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εις εξ υμων παραδωσει με
and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
26:22
Και λυπουμενοι σφοδρα ηρξαντο λεγειν αυτω εις εκαστος Μητι εγω ειμι Κυριε
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
26:23
Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν Ο εμβαψας μετ εμου την χειρα εν τω τρυβλιω ουτος με παραδωσει
And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
26:24
ο μεν Υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει καθως γεγραπται περι αυτου ουαι δε τω ανθρωπω εκεινω δι ου ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται καλον ην αυτω ει ουκ εγεννηθη ο ανθρωπος εκεινος
The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
26:25
Αποκριθεις δε Ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον ειπεν Μητι εγω ειμι ραββι Λεγει αυτω Συ ειπας
And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
26:26
Εσθιοντων δε αυτων λαβων ο Ιησους αρτον και ευλογησας εκλασεν και δους τοις μαθηταις ειπεν Λαβετε φαγετε τουτο εστιν το σωμα μου
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
26:27
Και λαβων ποτηριον και ευχαριστησας εδωκεν αυτοις λεγων Πιετε εξ αυτου παντες
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
26:28
τουτο γαρ εστιν το αιμα μου της διαθηκης το περι πολλων εκχυννομενον εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.
26:29
λεγω δε υμιν ου μη πιω απ αρτι εκ τουτου του γενηματος της αμπελου εως της ημερας εκεινης οταν αυτο πινω μεθ υμων καινον εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος μου
But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
26:30
Και υμνησαντες εξηλθον εις το ορος των Ελαιων
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
26:31
Τοτε λεγει αυτοις ο Ιησους Παντες υμεις σκανδαλισθησεσθε εν εμοι εν τη νυκτι ταυτη γεγραπται γαρ Παταξω τον ποιμενα Και διασκορπισθησονται τα προβατα της ποιμνης
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
26:32
Μετα δε το εγερθηναι με προαξω υμας εις την Γαλιλαιαν
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
26:33
Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος ειπεν αυτω Ει παντες σκανδαλισθησονται εν σοι εγω ουδεποτε σκανδαλισθησομαι
But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
26:34
Εφη αυτω ο Ιησους Αμην λεγω σοι οτι εν ταυτη τη νυκτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρις απαρνηση με
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
26:35
Λεγει αυτω ο Πετρος Καν δεη με συν σοι αποθανειν ου μη σε απαρνησομαι ομοιως και παντες οι μαθηται ειπαν
Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
26:36
Τοτε ερχεται μετ αυτων ο Ιησους εις χωριον λεγομενον Γεθσημανι και λεγει τοις μαθηταις Καθισατε αυτου εως ου απελθων εκει προσευξωμαι
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
26:37
Και παραλαβων τον Πετρον και τους δυο υιους Ζεβεδαιου ηρξατο λυπεισθαι και αδημονειν
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.
26:38
τοτε λεγει αυτοις Περιλυπος εστιν η ψυχη μου εως θανατου μεινατε ωδε και γρηγορειτε μετ εμου
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.
26:39
Και προελθων μικρον επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου προσευχομενος και λεγων Πατερ μου ει δυνατον εστιν παρελθατω απ εμου το ποτηριον τουτο πλην ουχ ως εγω θελω αλλ ως συ
And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
1
26:40
Και ερχεται προς τους μαθητας και ευρισκει αυτους καθευδοντας και λεγει τω Πετρω Ουτως ουκ ισχυσατε μιαν ωραν γρηγορησαι μετ εμου
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
26:41
γρηγορειτε και προσευχεσθε ινα μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον το μεν πνευμα προθυμον η δε σαρξ ασθενης
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
26:42
Παλιν εκ δευτερου απελθων προσηυξατο λεγων Πατερ μου ει ου δυναται τουτο παρελθειν εαν μη αυτο πιω γενηθητω το θελημα σου
Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.
26:43
και ελθων παλιν ευρεν αυτους καθευδοντας ησαν γαρ αυτων οι οφθαλμοι βεβαρημενοι
And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
26:44
Και αφεις αυτους παλιν απελθων προσηυξατο εκ τριτου τον αυτον λογον ειπων παλιν
And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.
26:45
τοτε ερχεται προς τους μαθητας και λεγει αυτοις Καθευδετε το λοιπον και αναπαυεσθε ιδου ηγγικεν η ωρα και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδοται εις χειρας αμαρτωλων
Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
26:46
εγειρεσθε αγωμεν ιδου ηγγικεν ο παραδιδους με
Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
26:47
Και ετι αυτου λαλουντος ιδου Ιουδας εις των δωδεκα ηλθεν και μετ αυτου οχλος πολυς μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων απο των αρχιερεων και πρεσβυτερων του λαου
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
26:48
Ο δε παραδιδους αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις σημειον λεγων Ον αν φιλησω αυτος εστιν κρατησατε αυτον
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.
26:49
και ευθεως προσελθων τω Ιησου ειπεν Χαιρε ραββι και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
26:50
Ο δε Ιησους ειπεν αυτω Εταιρε εφ ο παρει Τοτε προσελθοντες επεβαλον τας χειρας επι τον Ιησουν και εκρατησαν αυτον
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
26:51
και ιδου εις των μετα Ιησου εκτεινας την χειρα απεσπασεν την μαχαιραν αυτου και παταξας τον δουλον του αρχιερεως αφειλεν αυτου το ωτιον
And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
26:52
Τοτε λεγει αυτω ο Ιησους Αποστρεψον την μαχαιραν σου εις τον τοπον αυτης παντες γαρ οι λαβοντες μαχαιραν εν μαχαιρη απολουνται
Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
26:53
η δοκεις οτι ου δυναμαι παρακαλεσαι τον Πατερα μου και παραστησει μοι αρτι πλειω δωδεκα λεγιωνας αγγελων
Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
26:54
πως ουν πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι οτι ουτως δει γενεσθαι
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
26:55
Εν εκεινη τη ωρα ειπεν ο Ιησους τοις οχλοις Ως επι ληστην εξηλθατε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων συλλαβειν με καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω εκαθεζομην διδασκων και ουκ εκρατησατε με
In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.
26:56
Τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων Τοτε οι μαθηται παντες αφεντες αυτον εφυγον
But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
26:57
Οι δε κρατησαντες τον Ιησουν απηγαγον προς Καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα οπου οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι συνηχθησαν
And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
26:58
ο δε Πετρος ηκολουθει αυτω απο μακροθεν εως της αυλης του αρχιερεως και εισελθων εσω εκαθητο μετα των υπηρετων ιδειν το τελος
But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.
26:59
Οι δε αρχιερεις και το συνεδριον ολον εζητουν ψευδομαρτυριαν κατα του Ιησου οπως αυτον θανατωσωσιν
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
26:60
και ουχ ευρον πολλων προσελθοντων ψευδομαρτυρων Υστερον δε προσελθοντες δυο
and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
26:61
ειπαν Ουτος εφη Δυναμαι καταλυσαι τον ναον του Θεου και δια τριων ημερων οικοδομησαι
and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
26:62
Και αναστας ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω Ουδεν αποκρινη τι ουτοι σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
26:63
Ο δε Ιησους εσιωπα Και ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω Εξορκιζω σε κατα του Θεου του ζωντος ινα ημιν ειπης ει συ ει ο Χριστος ο Υιος του Θεου
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
26:64
Λεγει αυτω ο Ιησους Συ ειπας πλην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον Υιον του ανθρωπου καθημενον εκ δεξιων της δυναμεως και ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
26:65
Τοτε ο αρχιερευς διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου λεγων Εβλασφημησεν τι ετι χρειαν εχομεν μαρτυρων ιδε νυν ηκουσατε την βλασφημιαν
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
26:66
τι υμιν δοκει Οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπαν Ενοχος θανατου εστιν
what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
26:67
Τοτε ενεπτυσαν εις το προσωπον αυτου και εκολαφισαν αυτον οι δε εραπισαν
Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
26:68
λεγοντες Προφητευσον ημιν Χριστε τις εστιν ο παισας σε
saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?
26:69
Ο δε Πετρος εκαθητο εξω εν τη αυλη και προσηλθεν αυτω μια παιδισκη λεγουσα Και συ ησθα μετα Ιησου του Γαλιλαιου
Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan.
26:70
Ο δε ηρνησατο εμπροσθεν παντων λεγων Ουκ οιδα τι λεγεις
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
26:71
Εξελθοντα δε εις τον πυλωνα ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει τοις εκει Ουτος ην μετα Ιησου του Ναζωραιου
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
26:72
Και παλιν ηρνησατο μετα ορκου οτι Ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον
And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
26:73
Μετα μικρον δε προσελθοντες οι εστωτες ειπον τω Πετρω Αληθως και συ εξ αυτων ει και γαρ η λαλια σου δηλον σε ποιει
And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.
26:74
Τοτε ηρξατο καταθεματιζειν και ομνυειν οτι Ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον Και ευθεως αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν
Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.
26:75
Και εμνησθη ο Πετρος του ρηματος Ιησου ειρηκοτος οτι Πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρις απαρνηση με και εξελθων εξω εκλαυσεν πικρως
And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Reluctance and submission, together

Jesus prays in Gethsemane to let the cup pass from him, immediately followed by 'nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.' Does expressing genuine reluctance alongside full submission make this prayer more relatable, or does it complicate a pure...
