Matthew 26:36-67

361ThenG5119 JesusG2424 cameG2064 with them to a placeG5564 calledG3004 2GethsemaneG1068, and saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “SitG2523 hereG847 whileG2193 I goG565 overG565 thereG1563 and prayG4336.” 37And He tookG3880 with Him 3PeterG4074 and the twoG1417 sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, and beganG757 to be grievedG3076 and distressedG85. 38ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to them, “4My soulG5590 is deeplyG4036 grievedG4036, to the pointG2193 of deathG2288; remainG3306 hereG5602 and 5keepG1127 watchG1127 with Me.”

39And He wentG4281 a littleG3398 beyondG4281 them, and fellG4098 on His faceG4383 and prayedG4336, sayingG3004, “My FatherG3962, ifG1487 it is possibleG1415, let 6thisG3778 cupG4221 passG3928 from Me; 7yetG4133 not as I willG2309, but as You will.” 40And He cameG2064 to the disciplesG3101 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2518, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “SoG3779, you men couldG2480 not 8keepG1127 watchG1127 with Me for oneG1520 hourG5610? 419KeepG1127 watchingG1127 and prayingG4336 that you may not enterG1525 into temptationG3986; 10the spiritG4151 is willingG4289, but the fleshG4561 is weakG772.”

42He wentG565 awayG565 againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208 and prayedG4336, sayingG3004, “My FatherG3962, ifG1487 thisG3778 11cannotG1410G3756 passG3928 awayG3928 unlessG1437G3361 I drinkG4095 it, 12Your willG2307 be doneG1096.” 43AgainG3825 He cameG2064 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2518, for their eyesG3788 were heavyG916. 44And He leftG863 them againG3825, and wentG565 awayG565 and prayedG4336 a thirdG5154 timeG5154, sayingG3004 the sameG846 thingG3056 onceG3825 moreG3825. 45ThenG5119 He cameG2064 to the disciplesG3101 and saidG3004 to them, “13Are you stillG3062 sleepingG2518 and restingG373? BeholdG2400, 14the hourG5610 is at handG1448 and the SonG5207 of ManG444 is being betrayedG3860 into the handsG5495 of sinnersG268. 46GetG1453 up, let us be goingG71; beholdG2400, the one who betraysG3860 Me is at handG1448!”

4715While He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, beholdG2400, 16JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064 up 17accompaniedG3326G846 by a largeG4183 crowdG3793 with swordsG3162 and clubsG3586, who came from the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992. 48NowG1161 he who was betrayingG3860 Him gaveG1325 them a signG4592, sayingG3004, “WhomeverG3739G302 I kissG5368, He is the one; seizeG2902 Him.” 49ImmediatelyG2112 Judas wentG4334 to JesusG2424 and saidG3004, “HailG5463, 18RabbiG4461!” and kissedG2705 Him. 50And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “19FriendG2083, do whatG3739 you haveG3918 comeG3918 for.” ThenG5119 they cameG4334 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on JesusG2424 and seizedG2902 Him.

51And beholdG2400, 20oneG1520 of thoseG3588 whoG3588 were with JesusG2424 21reachedG1614 and drewG645 out his 22swordG3162, and struckG3960 the 23slaveG1401 of the highG749 priestG749 and 24cutG851 offG851 his earG5621. 52ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “PutG654 your swordG3162 backG654 into its placeG5117; for 25allG3956 thoseG3588 who takeG2983 up the swordG3162 shall perishG622 by the swordG3162. 53OrG2228 do you thinkG1380 that I cannotG1410G3756 appealG3870 to My FatherG3962, and He will at onceG737 putG3936 at My disposalG3936 moreG4183 than twelveG1427 2627legionsG3003 of 28angelsG32? 54HowG4459 thenG3767 will 29the ScripturesG1124 be fulfilledG4137, which say that it mustG1163 happenG1096 thisG3779 wayG3779?”

55At that timeG5610 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to the crowdsG3793, “Have you comeG1831 out with swordsG3162 and clubsG3586 to arrestG4815 Me as you would againstG1909 a robberG3027? 30EveryG2596 dayG2250 I used to sitG2516 in the templeG2413 teachingG1321 and you did not seizeG2902 Me. 56But allG3650 thisG3778 has takenG1096 placeG1096 to fulfillG4137 31the ScripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396.” ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 leftG863 Him and fledG5343.

5732ThoseG3588 who had seizedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 33CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 34PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113 as farG2193 as the 35courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and enteredG1525 in, and satG2521 downG2521 with the 3637officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the wholeG3650 3839CouncilG4892 kept tryingG2212 to obtainG2212 falseG5577 testimonyG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424, soG3704 that they might putG2289 Him to deathG2289. 60They did not findG2147 any, even though manyG4183 falseG5577 witnessesG5577 cameG4334 forwardG4334. But laterG5305 on 40twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘41I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 42templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 43in threeG5140 daysG2250.’” 62The highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 up and saidG3004 to Him, “Do You not answerG611? WhatG5101 is it that theseG3778 menG3778 are testifyingG2649 againstG2649 You?” 63But 44JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 45And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 4647adjureG1844 You by 48the livingG2198 GodG2316, that You tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are 49the ChristG5547, 50the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “51You have saidG3004 it yourself; neverthelessG4133 I tellG3004 you, 52hereafterG575G737 you will seeG3708 53the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of PowerG1411, and 54comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 55toreG1284 his 56robesG2440 and saidG3004, “He has blasphemedG987! WhatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 do we haveG2192 of witnessesG3144? BeholdG2396, you have nowG3568 heardG191 the blasphemyG988; 66whatG5101 do you thinkG1380?” They answeredG611, “57He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6758ThenG5119 they 59spatG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him with their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 60slappedG4474 Him,
