1 En die pasga en die fees van die ongesuurde brode sou oor twee dae wees; en die owerpriesters en die skrifgeleerdes het gesoek hoe hulle Hom met lis gevange kon neem en doodmaak.
2 Maar hulle het gesê: Nie op die fees nie, sodat daar nie miskien 'n oproer onder die volk kom nie.
3 En toe Hy in Bet nië was, in die huis van Simon, die melaatse, terwyl Hy aan tafel was, kom daar 'n vrou met 'n albaste fles met egte, baie kosbare nardussalf; en sy breek die albaste fles en gooi dit op sy hoof uit.
4 En daar was sommige wat by hulleself verontwaardig was en gesê het: Waarvoor het hierdie verkwisting van die salf plaasgevind?
5 Want dit kon vir meer as drie honderd pennings verkoop en die geld aan die armes gegee geword het. En hulle het teen haar uitgevaar.
6 Maar Jesus sê: Laat haar staan; waarom val julle haar lastig? Sy het 'n goeie werk aan My gedoen.
7 Want die armes het julle altyd by julle, en wanneer julle wil, kan julle aan hulle goed doen; maar My het julle nie altyd nie.
8 Wat sy kon, het sy gedoen. Sy het vooruit al my liggaam vir die begrafnis gesalf.
9 Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, oral waar hierdie evangelie oor die hele wêreld verkondig word, daar sal ook gespreek word van wat sy gedoen het, tot 'n gedagtenis aan haar.
10 En Judas Isk riot, een van die twaalf, het na die owerpriesters gegaan om Hom aan hulle oor te lewer.
11 En toe hulle dit hoor, was hulle bly en het belowe om hom geld te gee. En hy het na 'n goeie geleentheid gesoek om Hom oor te lewer.
12 En op die eerste dag van die ongesuurde brode, wanneer hulle gewoonlik die pasga geslag het, sê sy dissipels vir Hom: Waar wil U hê moet ons gaan klaarmaak, dat U die pasga kan eet?
13 En Hy stuur twee van sy dissipels en sê vir hulle: Gaan na die stad toe; en 'n man wat 'n kruik water dra, sal julle tegemoetkom. Volg hom,
14 en waar hy ook mag ingaan, moet julle vir die eienaar van die huis sê: Die Meester laat weet: Waar is die kamer waar Ek met my dissipels die pasga kan eet?
15 En hy sal julle 'n groot bovertrek wys, in gereedheid gebring. Daar moet julle vir ons klaarmaak.
16 En sy dissipels het gegaan en in die stad gekom en dit gevind soos Hy vir hulle gesê het; en hulle het die pasga toeberei.
17 En toe dit aand geword het, kom Hy met die twaalf.
18 En terwyl hulle aan tafel was en eet, sê Jesus: Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, een van julle sal My verraai, een wat saam met My eet.
19 Toe het hulle begin om bedroef te word en een vir een aan Hom te sê: Is dit miskien Ek? En 'n ander een: Is dit miskien ek?
20 En Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: Dit is een van die twaalf wat saam met My sy hand in die skottel insteek.
21 Die Seun van die mens gaan wel heen soos daar van Hom geskrywe is; maar wee daardie man deur wie die Seun van die mens verraai word! Dit sou vir hom goed gewees het as daardie man nie gebore was nie.
22 En terwyl hulle eet, neem Jesus brood, en nadat Hy gedank het, breek Hy dit en gee dit aan hulle en sê: Neem, eet, dit is my liggaam.
23 Toe neem Hy die beker, en nadat Hy gedank het, gee Hy dit aan hulle, en hulle het almal daaruit gedrink.
24 En Hy sê vir hulle: Dit is my bloed, die bloed van die nuwe testament, wat vir baie uitgestort word.
25 Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, Ek sal nooit meer van die vrug van die wynstok drink nie, tot op daardie dag wanneer Ek dit nuut sal drink in die koninkryk van God.
26 En toe hulle die lofsang gesing het, het hulle uitgegaan na die Olyfberg.
27 Toe sê Jesus vir hulle: Julle sal almal in hierdie nag aanstoot neem aan My; want daar is geskrywe: Ek sal die herder slaan, en die skape sal verstrooi word.
28 Maar nadat Ek opgestaan het, sal Ek voor julle uit na Galil,a gaan.
29 En Petrus sê vir Hom: Al sal almal ook aanstoot neem, dan tog nie ek nie.
30 Daarop sê Jesus vir hom: Voorwaar Ek sê vir jou, vandag, in hierdie nag, voordat die haan twee maal gekraai het, sal jy My drie maal verloën.
31 Maar hy het nog baie meer aangehou en gesê: Al moes ek saam met U sterwe, ek sal U nooit verloën nie! En net so het almal ook gesê.
32 Toe kom hulle in 'n plek waarvan die naam Gets,man, was. En Hy sê vir sy dissipels: Sit hier onderwyl Ek gaan bid.
33 En Hy neem Petrus en Jakobus en Johannes saam met Hom en begin ontsteld en benoud te word.
34 En Hy sê vir hulle: My siel is diep bedroef tot die dood toe; bly hier en waak.
35 En toe Hy 'n bietjie verder gegaan het, val Hy op die grond en bid dat, as dit moontlik was, die uur by Hom sou verbygaan.
36 En Hy sê: Abba, Vader, alle dinge is vir U moontlik; neem hierdie beker van My weg; nogtans nie wat Ek wil nie, maar wat U wil.
37 En Hy kom en vind hulle aan die slaap en sê vir Petrus: Simon, slaap jy? Was jy nie in staat om een uur te waak nie?
38 Waak en bid, dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie. Die gees is wel gewillig, maar die vlees is swak.
39 Hy gaan toe weer weg en bid dieselfde woorde.
40 En toe Hy terugkom, vind Hy hulle weer aan die slaap, want hulle oë was swaar; en hulle het nie geweet wat om Hom te antwoord nie.
41 En Hy kom vir die derde keer en sê aan hulle: Slaap maar voort en rus. Dit is genoeg; die uur het gekom. Kyk, die Seun van die mens word oorgelewer in die hande van die sondaars.
42 Staan op, laat ons gaan; kyk, hy is naby wat My verraai.
43 En dadelik, terwyl Hy nog spreek, verskyn Judas wat een van die twaalf was, en saam met hom 'n groot menigte met swaarde en stokke, gestuur deur die owerpriesters en die skrifgeleerdes en die ouderlinge.
44 En sy verraaier het 'n teken met hulle afgespreek en gesê: Die een wat ek sal soen -- dit is Hy; gryp Hom en neem Hom met sekerheid weg.
45 En toe hy kom, gaan hy dadelik na Hom en sê: Rabbi, Rabbi! en soen Hom.
46 Daarop slaan hulle hul hande aan Hom en gryp Hom.
47 En een van die wat daar gestaan het, het sy swaard uitgetrek en die dienskneg van die hoëpriester geslaan en sy oor afgekap.
48 En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hulle: Het julle soos teen 'n rower uitgetrek met swaarde en stokke om My gevange te neem?
49 Dag vir dag was Ek by julle in die tempel besig om te leer, en julle het My nie gegryp nie. Maar die Skrifte moes vervul word.
50 Toe het almal Hom verlaat en gevlug.
51 En 'n sekere jongman met 'n linnedoek om sy naakte lyf het Hom gevolg; en die jongmanne het hom gegryp;
52 maar hy het die linnedoek laat staan en naak van hulle weggevlug.
53 En hulle het Jesus weggelei na die hoëpriester. En al die owerpriesters en die ouderlinge en die skrifgeleerdes het by hom vergader.
54 En Petrus het Hom van ver af gevolg tot binne-in die paleis van die hoëpriester, en het saam met die dienaars gesit en hom by die vuur warm gemaak.
55 En die owerpriesters en die hele Raad het getuienis teen Jesus gesoek om Hom dood te maak, en hulle het niks gevind nie;
56 want baie het vals teen Hom getuig en die getuienisse was nie eenders nie.
57 En sommige het opgestaan en vals teen Hom getuig en gesê:
58 Ons het Hom hoor sê: Ek sal hierdie tempel wat met hande gemaak is, afbreek en in drie dae 'n ander een opbou wat nie met hande gemaak is nie.
59 En selfs so was hulle getuienis nie eenders nie.
60 Toe staan die hoëpriester in hul midde op en vra Jesus en sê: Antwoord U niks nie? Wat getuig hierdie manne teen U?
61 Maar Hy het stilgebly en geen antwoord gegee nie. Weer stel die hoëpriester Hom die vraag en sê vir Hom: Is U die Christus, die Seun van die geseënde God?
62 En Jesus sê: Ek is. En u almal sal die Seun van die mens aan die regterhand van die krag van God sien sit en kom met die wolke van die hemel.
63 Toe skeur die hoëpriester sy klere en sê: Wat het ons nog getuies nodig!
64 Julle het die godslastering gehoor; wat dink julle? En hulle het almal Hom veroordeel dat Hy die dood skuldig was.
65 En sommige het begin om op Hom te spuug en sy aangesig toe te maak en Hom met die vuis te slaan en vir Hom te sê: Profeteer! En die dienaars het Hom met stokke geslaan.
66 En terwyl Petrus onder in die binneplaas was, kom daar een van die diensmeisies van die hoëpriester,
67 en toe sy Petrus sien, besig om hom warm te maak, kyk sy na hom en sê: Jy was ook by die Nasar,ner, Jesus.
68 Maar hy het dit ontken en gesê: Ek weet nie en begryp nie wat jy sê nie. En hy het buite na die voorplein gegaan; en die haan het gekraai.
69 En toe die diensmeisie hom weer sien, begin sy aan die wat daar staan, te sê: Hierdie man behoort by hulle.
70 Maar hy het dit weer ontken. En 'n bietjie later weer sê die wat daar staan vir Petrus: Waarlik, jy behoort by hulle, want jy is ook 'n Galil,ër en jou spraak is net so.
71 Toe begin hy homself te verwens en te sweer: Ek ken nie daardie man van wie julle praat nie.
72 En vir die tweede keer het die haan gekraai; en Petrus het die woord onthou wat Jesus vir hom gesê het: Voor die haan twee maal gekraai het, sal jy My drie maal verloën. En hy het in trane uitgebars.
1 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:
2 But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.
3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.
4 But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?
5 We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.
6 But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.
7 The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.
8 She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.
9 And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.
11 And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.
12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
13 And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;
14 And wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house, The Master says, Where is my guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?
15 And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready for us.
16 And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.
17 And when it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.
19 They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?
20 And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.
21 The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.
22 And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.
23 And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.
24 And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.
25 Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.
26 And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
27 And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.
28 But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.
30 And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
31 But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.
33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.
34 And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.
35 And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
37 And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?
38 Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
39 And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.
40 And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.
41 And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.
42 Get up, let us be going; see, he who gives me up is near.
43 And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.
44 Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely.
45 And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.
46 And they put their hands on him, and took him.
47 But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
48 And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?
49 I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.
50 And they all went away from him in fear.
51 And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;
52 But he got away unclothed, without the linen cloth.
53 And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.
54 And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.
56 For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement.
57 Then some got up and gave false witness against him, saying,
58 He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.
59 And even so their witness was not in agreement.
60 And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?
61 But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?
62 And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
63 And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?
64 His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.
65 And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.
66 And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;
67 And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.
68 But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.
69 And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.
70 But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.
71 But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.
72 And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.
