Matthew 26:45-75

45ThenG5119 He cameG2064 to the disciplesG3101 and saidG3004 to them, “1Are you stillG3062 sleepingG2518 and restingG373? BeholdG2400, 2the hourG5610 3isG1448 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!”

474And while He was stillG2089 speakingG2980, beholdG2400, 5JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064 6accompaniedG3326G846 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, 7RabbiG4461!” and kissedG2705 Him. 50But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “8FriendG2083, do whatG3739 you haveG3918 comeG3918 for.” ThenG5119 they cameG4334 and laidG1911 handsG5495 on JesusG2424 and arrestedG2902 Him.

51And beholdG2400, 9oneG1520 of thoseG3588 whoG3588 were with JesusG2424 10reachedG1614 and drewG645 his 11swordG3162, and struckG3960 the 12slaveG1401 of the highG749 priestG749 and 13cutG851 offG851 his earG5621. 52ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “PutG654 your swordG3162 backG654 into its placeG5117; for 14allG3956 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 1516legionsG3003 of 17angelsG32? 54HowG4459 thenG3767 would 18the 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? 19EveryG2596 dayG2250 I used to sitG2516 within the templeG2413 grounds teachingG1321, and you did not arrestG2902 Me. 56But allG3650 thisG3778 has takenG1096 placeG1096 soG2443 thatG2443 20the ScripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396 will be fulfilledG4137.” ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 leftG863 Him and fledG5343.

5721ThoseG3588 who had arrestedG2902 JesusG2424 ledG520 Him awayG520 to 22CaiaphasG2533, the highG749 priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 and the eldersG4245 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 58But 23PeterG4074 was followingG190 Him at a distanceG3113, asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 the 24courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, and he cameG1525 insideG2080 and satG2521 downG2521 with the 2526officersG5257 to seeG3708 the outcomeG5056.

59NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the entireG3650 2728CouncilG4892 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 29twoG1417 cameG4334 forwardG4334, 61and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 statedG5346, ‘30I amG1410 ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the 31templeG3485 of GodG2316 and to rebuildG3618 it 32in 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 33JesusG2424 keptG4623 silentG4623. 34And the highG749 priestG749 saidG3004 to Him, “I 35placeG1844 You underG1844 oathG1844 by 36the livingG2198 GodG2316, to tellG3004 us whetherG1487 You are the 37ChristG5547, 38the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 64JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “39You have saidG3004 it yourself. ButG4133 I tellG3004 you, from nowG737 on you will seeG3708 40the SonG5207 of ManG444 sittingG2521 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of powerG1411, and 41comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.”

65ThenG5119 the highG749 priestG749 42toreG1284 his 43robesG2440 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, “44He deservesG1777 deathG2288!”

6745ThenG5119 they 46spitG1716 in His faceG4383 and beatG2852 Him withG2852 their fistsG2852; and othersG3588 47slappedG4474 Him, 68and saidG3004, “48ProphesyG4395 to us, You 49ChristG5547; whoG5101 is the one who hitG3817 You?”

6950NowG1161 PeterG4074 was sittingG2521 outsideG1854 in the 51courtyardG833, and a slaveG3814 womanG3814 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 outG1831 to the gatewayG4440, anotherG243 slave woman 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 upG4334 and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “You reallyG230 are one of them asG2532 wellG2532, 52sinceG1063 evenG2532 the wayG2981 you talkG2981 53givesG4160 you awayG1212G4160.” 74ThenG5119 he beganG757 to curseG2617 and swearG3660, “I do not knowG3609 the ManG444!” And immediatelyG2117 a roosterG220 crowedG5455. 75And PeterG4074 rememberedG3403 the statementG4487 that JesusG2424 had 54madeG3004: “55BeforeG4250 a roosterG220 crowsG5455, you will denyG533 Me threeG5151 timesG5151.” And he wentG1831 outG1831 and weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.
