1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him. 2 For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people."
3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted? 5 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." So they grumbled against her.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying. 9 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."
10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them. 11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?"
13 He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"’ 15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there."
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve. 18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
20 He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish. 21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body."
23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it. 24 He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom." 26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
29 But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."
30 Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."
31 But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed. 34 He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him. 41 He came the third time and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. 44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely." 45 When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him. 46 They laid their hands on him and seized him. 47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
50 They all left him, and fled. 51 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked. 53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none. 56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other. 57 Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying, 58 "We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’" 59 Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
60 The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?" 61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
62 Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
63 The high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need have we of witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death. 65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them." 70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it." 71 But he began to curse and to swear, "I don’t know this man of whom you speak!"
72 The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
1 过两天， 就是逾越节和除酵节了， 祭司长和经学家设法怎样用诡计逮捕耶稣， 把他杀害。
2 不过他们说： "不可在节期下手， 免得引起民众暴动。"
3 耶稣在伯大尼， 在患痲风的西门家里吃饭的时候， 有一个女人来了， 拿着一瓶珍贵的纯哪哒香膏。她打破了瓶， 把香膏浇在耶稣的头上。
4 有几个人很生气， 彼此说： "为什么这样浪费香膏呢？
5 这香膏可以卖三百多个银币， 用来赒济穷人。"他们就向她发怒。
6 但耶稣说： "由她吧！ 为什么难为她呢？她在我身上作的是一件美事。
7 你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起， 只要你们愿意， 随时都可以向他们行善， 然而你们却不常有我。
8 她已经尽她所能的作了。她预先用香膏膏了我的身体， 是为了我的安葬。
9 我实在告诉你们， 福音无论传到世界上什么地方， 都要传讲这女人所作的来记念她。"
10 十二门徒中的一个， 就是加略人犹大， 去见祭司长， 要把耶稣交给他们。
11 他们听见了就很欢喜， 答应给他银子。于是犹大就找机会出卖耶稣。
12 除酵节的第一天， 就是宰杀逾越节羊羔的那一天， 门徒问耶稣： "你要我们到哪里去， 为你预备逾越节的晚餐呢？"
13 他就差派两个门徒， 对他们说： "你们到城里去， 必有一个拿着水瓶的人， 向你们迎面而来， 你们就跟着他，
14 无论他进入哪一家， 你们要对那家主说， 老师说： ‘我的客厅在哪里？我和门徒好在那里吃逾越节的晚餐。’
15 他必指给你们楼上一间布置整齐、预备妥当的大房间， 你们就在那里为我们预备。"
16 门徒出去， 进了城， 所遇见的正如耶稣所说的， 就预备好了逾越节的晚餐。
17 到了晚上， 耶稣和十二门徒来了。
18 他们坐着吃饭的时候， 耶稣说： "我实在告诉你们， 你们中间有一个跟我一起吃饭的人要出卖我。"
19 他们就很忧愁， 一个一个地问他： "是我吗？"
20 耶稣对他们说： "他是十二门徒里的一个， 和我一同把手蘸在盘子里的。
21 正如经上指着人子所说的， 他固然要离世， 但出卖人子的那人有祸了！ 他没有生下来还好。"
22 他们吃的时候， 耶稣拿起饼来， 祝谢了， 就擘开， 递给门徒， 说： "你们拿去吃吧， 这是我的身体。"
23 又拿起杯来， 祝谢了就递给门徒， 他们都喝了。
24 耶稣说： "这是我的血， 是为立约的， 为许多人流出来的。
25 我实在告诉你们， 我决不再喝这葡萄酒， 直到我在 神的国里喝新酒的那一天。"
26 他们唱完了诗， 就出来， 往橄榄山去。
27 耶稣对他们说： "你们都要后退， 因为经上记着： ‘我要击打牧人， 羊群就分散了。’
28 但我复活以后， 要比你们先到加利利去。"
29 彼得对他说： "就算所有的人都后退， 我却不会。"
30 耶稣对他说： "我实在告诉你， 就在今天晚上， 鸡叫两遍以前， 你会三次不认我。"
31 彼得更坚决地说： "就算必须与你一同死， 我也决不会不认你！ "众人也都这样说。
32 他们来到一个地方， 名叫客西马尼； 耶稣对门徒说： "你们坐在这里， 我去祷告。"
33 他带了彼得、雅各、约翰一起去， 就惊惧起来， 非常难过。
34 于是对他们说： "我的心灵痛苦得快要死了； 你们要留在这里， 也要警醒。"
35 耶稣稍往前走， 俯伏在地上祷告： 如果可能的话， 使那时刻不要临到他。
36 他说： "阿爸、父啊， 你凡事都能作， 求你叫这杯离开我。但不要照我的意思， 只要照你的旨意。"
37 耶稣回来， 看见门徒睡着了， 就对彼得说： "西门， 你睡觉吗？你连一个小时也不能警醒吗？
38 应当警醒、祷告， 免得陷入试探； 你们心灵虽然愿意， 肉体却是软弱的。"
39 耶稣又去祷告， 说的也是同样的话。
40 他再回来的时候， 看见门徒睡着了； 因为他们十分疲倦， 不知道该怎样回答他。
41 耶稣第三次回来， 对他们说： "你们还在睡觉休息吗？够了， 时候到了， 看哪， 人子要被交在罪人手里了。
42 起来， 我们走吧！ 出卖我的人来了。"
43 耶稣还在说话的时候， 十二门徒中的犹大和一群拿着刀棒的人来到了； 他们是祭司长、经学家和长老派来的。
44 出卖耶稣的人给他们一个暗号， 说： "我跟谁亲嘴， 谁就是他。你们把他逮捕， 小心带去。"
45 犹大来到， 立刻上前对耶稣说： "拉比！ "就跟他亲嘴。
46 他们就动手拿住耶稣， 逮捕了他。
47 站在旁边的人中有一个拔出刀来， 砍了大祭司的仆人一刀， 削掉了他的一只耳朵。
48 耶稣对他们说： "你们带着刀棒出来， 把我当作强盗捉拿吗？
49 我天天在殿里教导人， 跟你们在一起， 你们却没有捉拿我； 但这是为了要应验经上的话。"
50 门徒都离开他逃跑了。
51 有一个青年， 赤身披着一块麻布， 跟着耶稣。众人捉住他的时候，
52 他就丢掉麻布， 赤身逃跑了。
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里， 所有的祭司长、长老和经学家都聚集在一起。
54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣， 直到大祭司的官邸， 和差役一同坐着烤火。
55 祭司长和公议会全体都寻找证据控告耶稣， 要把他处死， 却没有找着。
56 有许多人作假证供控告他， 但他们的证供各不相符。
57 有几个人站起来， 作假证供控告他说：
58 "我们听他说过： ‘我要拆毁这座人手所造的圣所， 三日之内要另建一座不是人手所造的圣所。’"
59 就是这样的见证， 他们也不一致。
60 大祭司站起来， 走到中间， 问耶稣： "这些人作证控告你的是什么呢？你怎么不回答呢？"
61 耶稣却不作声， 什么也不回答。大祭司又问他： "你是那受称颂者的儿子基督吗？"
62 耶稣说： "我是。你们要看见人子， 坐在权能者的右边， 驾着天上的云降临。"
63 大祭司就撕开自己的衣服， 说： "我们还要什么证人呢？
64 你们都听见这亵渎的话了。你们认为怎么样？"众人都定他该死的罪。
65 于是有些人就向他吐唾沫， 蒙住他的脸。用拳头打他， 对他说： "你说预言吧！ "差役把他拉去， 用手掌打他。
66 彼得在下边院子的时候， 大祭司的一个婢女来了，
67 看见彼得烤火， 就瞪着他说： "你也是和拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的！ "
68 彼得却否认说： "我不知道， 也不明白你在说什么！ "他就走出去， 到了前院， 鸡就叫了（有些抄本无"鸡就叫了"一句）。
69 那婢女看见他， 又对站在旁边的人说： "这个人也是他们一伙的。"
70 彼得还是不承认。过了一会， 站在旁边的人也对彼得说： "你真是他们一伙的， 因为你也是加利利人。"
71 彼得就发咒起誓说： "我不认得你们说的这个人！ "
72 立刻鸡就叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话： "鸡叫两遍以前， 你要三次不认我。"他一想起来， 就哭了（"他一想起来， 就哭了"或译： "他就夺步而出， 痛哭起来"）。
