Matthew 26:36-67

361ThenG5119 JesusG2424 cameG2064 with them to a placeG5564 calledG3004 23GethsemaneG1068, and toldG3004 His disciplesG3101, “SitG2523 hereG847 whileG2193 I goG565 overG565 thereG1563 and prayG4336.” 37And He tookG3880 4PeterG4074 and the twoG1417 sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199 with Him, and beganG757 to be grievedG3076 and distressedG85. 38ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to them, “5My soulG5590 is deeplyG4036 grievedG4036, toG2193 theG2193 pointG2193 of deathG2288; remainG3306 hereG5602 and 6keepG1127 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 7thisG3778 cupG4221 passG3928 from Me; 8yetG4133 not as I willG2309, but as You will.” 40And He cameG2064 to the disciplesG3101 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2518, and He saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “SoG3779, you men couldG2480 not 9keepG1127 watchG1127 with Me for oneG1520 hourG5610? 4110KeepG1127 watchingG1127 and prayingG4336, soG2443 thatG2443 you do not comeG1525 intoG1525 temptationG3986; 11the spiritG4151 is 12willingG4289, but the fleshG4561 is weakG772.”

42He wentG565 awayG565 againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208 and prayedG4336, sayingG3004, “My FatherG3962, ifG1487 thisG3778 cup 13cannotG1410G3756 passG3928 awayG3928 unlessG1437G3361 I drinkG4095 from it, 14Your 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, “15Are you stillG3062 sleepingG2518 and restingG373? BeholdG2400, 16the hourG5610 17isG1448 atG1448 handG1448 and the SonG5207 of ManG444 is being betrayedG3860 into the handsG5495 of sinnersG268. 46GetG1453 upG1453, let’s goG71; beholdG2400, the one who is betrayingG3860 Me is nearG1448!”

4718And while He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, beholdG2400, 19JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064 20accompaniedG3326G846 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 previously, sayingG3004, “WhomeverG3739G302 I kissG5368, He is the one; arrestG2902 Him.” 49And immediatelyG2112 Judas wentG4334 upG4334 toG4334 JesusG2424 and saidG3004, “GreetingsG5463, 21RabbiG4461!” and kissedG2705 Him. 50But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “22FriendG2083, do whatG3739 you haveG3918 comeG3918 for.” ThenG5119 they cameG4334 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on JesusG2424 and arrestedG2902 Him.

51And beholdG2400, 23oneG1520 of thoseG3588 whoG3588 were with JesusG2424 24reachedG1614 and drewG645 his 25swordG3162, and struckG3960 the 26slaveG1401 of the highG749 priestG749 and 27cutG851 offG851 his earG5621. 52ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “PutG654 your swordG3162 backG654 into its placeG5117; for 28allG3956 thoseG3588 who takeG2983 up the swordG3162 will perishG622 by the swordG3162. 53OrG2228 do you thinkG1380 that I cannotG1410G3756 appealG3870 to My FatherG3962, and He will at onceG737 putG3936 atG3936 My disposalG3936 moreG4183 than twelveG1427 2930legionsG3003 of 31angelsG32? 54HowG4459 thenG3767 would 32the ScripturesG1124 be fulfilledG4137, which say that it mustG1163 happenG1096 thisG3779 wayG3779?”

55At that timeG5610 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to the crowdsG3793, “Have you comeG1831 outG1831 with swordsG3162 and clubsG3586 to arrestG4815 Me as you would againstG1909 a manG3027 incitingG3027 aG3027 revoltG3027? 33EveryG2596 dayG2250 I used to sitG2516 within the templeG2413 grounds teachingG1321, and you did not arrestG2902 Me. 56But allG3650 thisG3778 has takenG1096 placeG1096 soG2443 thatG2443 34the ScripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396 will be fulfilledG4137.” ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 leftG863 Him and fledG5343.

5735ThoseG3588 who had arrestedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 36CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 37PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113, asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the 38courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and he cameG1525 insideG2080 and satG2521 downG2521 with the 3940officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the entireG3650 4142CouncilG4892 kept tryingG2212 toG2212 obtainG2212 falseG5577 testimonyG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424, soG3704 thatG3704 they might putG2289 Him toG2289 deathG2289. 60They did not findG2147 any, even though manyG4183 falseG5577 witnessesG5577 cameG4334 forwardG4334. But laterG5305 on 43twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘44I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 45templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 46in threeG5140 daysG2250.’” 62The highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 upG450 and saidG3004 to Him, “Do You offerG611 noG3762 answerG611 for whatG5101 theseG3778 menG3778 are testifyingG2649 againstG2649 You?” 63But 47JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 48And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 49placeG1844 You underG1844 oathG1844 by 50the livingG2198 GodG2316, to tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are the 51ChristG5547, 52the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “53You have saidG3004 it yourself. ButG4133 I tellG3004 you, from nowG737 on you will seeG3708 54the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of powerG1411, and 55comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 56toreG1284 his 57robesG2440 and saidG3004, “He has blasphemedG987! WhatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 do we haveG2192 of witnessesG3144? SeeG2396, you have nowG3568 heardG191 the blasphemyG988; 66whatG5101 do you thinkG1380?” They answeredG611, “58He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6759ThenG5119 they 60spitG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him withG2852 their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 61slappedG4474 Him,
