Matthew 26

The Plot to Kill Jesus
1When Jesus had finished saying #26:1 all ¦ --- PCKall these things, he said to his disciples, 2“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3Then the chief #26:3 priests, the scribes, ¦ priests CTpriests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4and they plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it out on his head as he reclined at the table. 8When #26:8 his ¦ the CThis disciples saw it, they were indignant and said, “For what purpose is this waste? 9This #26:9 ointment ¦ --- CTointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money could have been given to the poor.” 10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you causing trouble for this woman? For she has done a good deed to me. 11You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 12She has put this ointment on my body to prepare me for burial. 13Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
14Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him up to you?” So they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16And from then on he was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
The Passover with the Disciples
17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said #26:17 to him ¦ --- CTto him, “Where do yoʋ want us to make preparations for yoʋ to eat the Passover?” 18He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover with yoʋ, along with my disciples.” ’ ” 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the #26:20 twelve ¦ twelve disciples SBL WHtwelve. 21As they were eating, he said, “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22Greatly distressed, they began to say to him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. 24The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25Then Judas, who betrayed him, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
The Institution of the Lord's Supper
26As they were eating, Jesus took #26:26 the ¦ --- CTthe bread, and when he had #26:26 given thanks ¦ blessed it CT PCK TRgiven thanks, he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat this bread; this is my body.” 27Then he took #26:27 the ¦ a CTthe cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28for this is my blood of the #26:28 new ¦ --- CTnew covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. 29But I tell you, from this point forward I will certainly not drink again from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you anew in the kingdom of my Father.” 30And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33Peter answered him, “Even if everyone else falls away because of yoʋ, I will never fall away.” 34Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to yoʋ that on this night, before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.” 35But Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with yoʋ, I will certainly not deny yoʋ.” And all the disciples said the same thing.
Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane
36Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and distressed. 38Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to the point of death; stay here and keep watch with me.” 39And going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as yoʋ will.” 40Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour? 41Keep watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42Again, he went away for a second time and prayed, “My Father, if this #26:42 cup ¦ --- CTcup cannot pass #26:42 from me ¦ --- CTfrom me unless I drink it, may yoʋr will be done.” 43Then he came #26:43 and found them sleeping again ¦ again and found them sleeping CTand found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy. 44So he left #26:44 them and went away again ¦ them again and went away CTthem and went away again and prayed for a third time, saying the same #26:44 thing ¦ thing again NA SBL WHthing. 45Then he came to #26:45 his ¦ the CThis disciples and said to them, “Sleep on now and take your rest! Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us go. Behold, my betrayer #26:46 has drawn near ¦ is here PCKhas drawn near.”
Jesus Arrested
47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came. With him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, he is the one; arrest him.” 49Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 50Jesus said to him, “Friend, #26:50 for what purpose have yoʋ come? ¦ do what yoʋ have come to do. CTfor what purpose have yoʋ come?” Then they came forward, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him. 51And behold, one of the men with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52Then Jesus said to him, “Put yoʋr sword back into its place, for all who take the sword will #26:52 die ¦ perish CT TRdie by the sword. 53Or do yoʋ think that I cannot call on my #26:53 Father right now, and he will ¦ Father, and he will at once CTFather right now, and he will provide me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? I sat daily #26:55 with you, ¦ --- CTwith you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. 56But all this has taken place so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
57Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58But Peter was following him at a distance, coming as far as the courtyard of the high priest. After going inside, he sat with the officers to see the outcome. 59Now the chief #26:59 priests, the elders, ¦ priests CTpriests, the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus, so that they could put him to death, 60but they did not find #26:60 any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any. ¦ any, even though many false witnesses came forward. CTany. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any. 61But at last two #26:61 false witnesses ¦ --- CTfalse witnesses came forward and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ” 62So the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do yoʋ make no answer? What are these men testifying against yoʋ?” 63But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I adjure yoʋ by the living God to tell us if yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself. Nevertheless I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65Then the high priest tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard #26:65 his ¦ the CThis blasphemy. 66What do you think?” They answered, “He deserves death.” 67Then they spit in his face and struck him. Others slapped him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, yoʋ Christ! Who is it that struck yoʋ?”
Peter Denies Jesus
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, “Yoʋ also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what yoʋ are talking about!” 71Then he went out to the gateway, and another servant girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man #26:71 also ¦ --- CTalso was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72But again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73After a little while, those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “Truly yoʋ also are one of them, for even yoʋr accent gives yoʋ away.” 74Then he began to invoke curses and to swear: “I do not know the man.” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said #26:75 to him ¦ --- CTto him: “Before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
