Matthew 26:47-75

471While He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, beholdG2400, 2JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064 up 3accompaniedG3326G846 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, 4RabbiG4461!” and kissedG2705 Him. 50And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “5FriendG2083, do whatG3739 you haveG3918 comeG3918 for.” ThenG5119 they cameG4334 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on JesusG2424 and seizedG2902 Him.

51And beholdG2400, 6oneG1520 of thoseG3588 whoG3588 were with JesusG2424 7reachedG1614 and drewG645 out his 8swordG3162, and struckG3960 the 9slaveG1401 of the highG749 priestG749 and 10cutG851 offG851 his earG5621. 52ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “PutG654 your swordG3162 backG654 into its placeG5117; for 11allG3956 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 1213legionsG3003 of 14angelsG32? 54HowG4459 thenG3767 will 15the 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? 16EveryG2596 dayG2250 I used to sitG2516 in the templeG2413 teachingG1321 and you did not seizeG2902 Me. 56But allG3650 thisG3778 has takenG1096 placeG1096 to fulfillG4137 17the ScripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396.” ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 leftG863 Him and fledG5343.

5718ThoseG3588 who had seizedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 19CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 20PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113 as farG2193 as the 21courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and enteredG1525 in, and satG2521 downG2521 with the 2223officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the wholeG3650 2425CouncilG4892 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 26twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘27I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 28templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 29in 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 30JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 31And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 3233adjureG1844 You by 34the livingG2198 GodG2316, that You tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are 35the ChristG5547, 36the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “37You have saidG3004 it yourself; neverthelessG4133 I tellG3004 you, 38hereafterG575G737 you will seeG3708 39the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of PowerG1411, and 40comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 41toreG1284 his 42robesG2440 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, “43He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6744ThenG5119 they 45spatG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him with their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 46slappedG4474 Him, 68and saidG3004, “47ProphesyG4395 to us, You 48ChristG5547; whoG5101 is the one who hitG3817 You?”

6949NowG1161 PeterG4074 was sittingG2521 outsideG1854 in the 50courtyardG833, and a servant-girlG3814 cameG4334 to him and saidG3004, “You tooG2532 were with JesusG2424 the GalileanG1057.” 70But he deniedG720 it beforeG1715 them allG3956, sayingG3004, “I do not knowG3609 whatG5101 you are talkingG3004 about.” 71When he had goneG1831 out to the gatewayG4440, anotherG243 servant-girl sawG3708 him and saidG3004 to thoseG3588 whoG3588 were thereG1563, “ThisG3778 manG3778 was with JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.” 72And againG3825 he deniedG720 it with an oathG3727, “I do not knowG3609 the manG444.” 73A littleG3398 laterG3326 the bystandersG2476 cameG4334 up and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “SurelyG230 you tooG2532 are one of them; 51for evenG2532 the wayG2981 you talkG2981 52givesG4160 you awayG1212G4160.” 74ThenG5119 he beganG757 to curseG2617 and swearG3660, “I do not knowG3609 the manG444!” And immediatelyG2117 a roosterG220 crowedG5455. 75And PeterG4074 rememberedG3403 the wordG4487 which JesusG2424 had saidG3004, “53BeforeG4250 a roosterG220 crowsG5455, you will denyG533 Me threeG5151 timesG5151.” And he wentG1831 out and weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.
