1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

3 Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve. 4 He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them. 5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"

10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"’ 12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."

13 They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles. 15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom." 17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this and share it among yourselves, 18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes."

19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me." 20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"

23 They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

24 A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves. 27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28 "But you are those who have continued with me in my trials. 29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

31 The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat, 32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."

33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?"

They said, "Nothing."

36 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled."

38 They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords."

He said to them, "That is enough."

39 He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him. 40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don’t enter into temptation."

41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. 44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this"—and he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance. 55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."

57 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don’t know him."

58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them!"

But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"

60 But Peter said, "Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times." 62 He went out, and wept bitterly.

63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. 64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" 65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying, 67 "If you are the Christ, tell us."

But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won’t believe, 68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. 69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"

He said to them, "You say it, because I am."

71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"

1 Na kua tata te hakari taro rewenakore e kiia nei ko te kapenga.

2 A ka rapu nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi ki te pehea e whakamate ai ratou i a ia: i mataku hoki ratou i te iwi.

3 Na ka uru a hatana ki a Hura, tona ingoa nei ko Ikariote, ko ia nei tetahi o te tekau ma rua.

4 A ka haere ia, ka korero ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga rangatira hoia me pehea e tukua ai ia e ia ki a ratou.

5 A ka hari ratou, ka whakaae kia hoatu he moni ki a ia.

6 Na ka whakaae ia, ka rapu i te wa pai hei tukunga i a ia ki a ratou i te mea e ngaro atu ana te mano.

7 Na ka taka mai te ra o te taro rewenakore i tika nei kia patua te kapenga.

8 Ka tonoa e ia a Pita raua ko Hoani ka mea, Tikina, taka te kapenga ma tatou, kia kai ai tatou.

9 Na ka mea raua ki a ia, Ko hea koe pai ai kia taka e maua?

10 Ka mea ia ki a raua, na, ka tomo korua ki te pa, ka tutaki he tangata ki a korua e mau ana i te kahaka wai; e aru korua i a ia ki te whare e tomo ai ia.

11 Ka ki atu ki te tangata i te whare, E mea ana te Kaiwhakaako ki a koe, Kei hea te ruma e kai ai matou ko aku akonga i te kapenga?

12 A ka whakaaturia e ia ki a korua he ruma nui i runga, oti rawa te whariki: me taka e korua ki reira.

13 Na haere ana raua, a rokohanga atu rite tonu ki tana i korero ai ki a raua: a taka ana e raua te kapenga.

14 A ka rite te haora, ka noho ia, ratou ko nga apotoro kotahi tekau ma rua.

15 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Nui atu toku hiahia kia kai tahi tatou i tenei kapenga, i te mea kahore ano ahau i mate noa:

16 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore ahau e kai i tenei a muri ake nei, kia tino rite ra ano i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

17 Na ka mau ia ki te kapu, ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka mea ia, Tangohia tenei, tuwhaina ma koutou:

18 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore ahau e inu i te hua o te waina, kia tae mai ra ano te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

19 Na ka mau ia ki te taro, ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka whawhati, ka hoatu e ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko toku tinana tenei e hoatu ana mo koutou: meinga tenei hei whakamahara ki ahau.

20 I peratia ano hoki te kapu, i muri iho i te hapa, a i mea ia, Ko te kawenata hou tenei kapu i runga i oku toto e ringihia nei mo koutou.

21 Otira, tenei kei ahau nei, kei te tepu, te ringa o te kaituku i ahau.

22 E haere ana hoki ra te Tama a te tangata, e pera ana me te mea i whakaritea: otira, aue mo te tangata e tukua ai ia!

23 Na ka anga ratou ka rapu ki a ratou ano, ma wai o ratou tenei e mea.

24 A ka ara ano he tautohe a ratou, ko wai o ratou e meinga ko te tangata tino nui.

25 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko nga kingi o nga tauiwi e whakarangatira ana ki a ratou; ko te hunga whai mana ki runga i a ratou ka kiia, He hunga atawhai.

26 Otiia kaua koutou e pera: engari kia rite ki to muri te mea nui o koutou: kia rite ano te tino tangata ki te kaimahi.

27 Ko wai hoki te mea nui, ko ia e noho ana ki te kai, ko te kaimahi ranei? ehara ranei i te tangata e noho ana ki te kai? tenei raia ahau i roto i a koutou te rite nei ki te kaimahi.

28 Otira ko koutou te hunga i noho tahi tonu me ahau i oku whakamatautauranga;

29 A ka whakarite ahau i te rangatiratanga mo koutou, i te pera me ta toku Matua i whakarite ai moku:

30 Kia kai ai, kia inu ai koutou ki taku tepu i toku rangatiratanga; a ka noho koutou ki runga ki nga torona, whakawa ai i nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.

31 E Haimona, e Haimona, na, kua inoi a Hatana kia riro koe i a ia, kia tataritia ai koe e ia, ano he witi:

32 Otiia kua inoi ahau mou, kei hemo tou whakapono: a, kite tahuri mai ano koe, whakakahangia ou teina.

33 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E te Ariki, e pai ana ahau kia haere hei hoa mou ki te whare herehere, ki te mate hoki.

34 Ano ra ko ia, Tenei taku kupu ki a koe, e Pita, e kore te tikaokao e tangi aianei, ka toru au whakakahoretanga i tou matau ki ahau.

35 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, I taku tononga i a koutou, kahore he peke moni, kahore he putea, kahore he hu, i hapa ranei koutou i tetahi mea? Ka mea ratou, Kahore.

36 Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, Tena ko tenei ki te mea he peke moni ta tetahi, mauria atu, me te putea ano: me ia hoki kahore ana hoari, hokona atu tona kakahu, ka hoko mai ai i tetahi.

37 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ko te tikanga tenei, kia rite i ahau te mea kua oti nei te tuhituhi, ara, Kua huihuia ia ki te hunga hara: he tutukitanga hoki to nga mea moku.

38 Na ka mea ratou, E te Ariki, na, e rua enei hoari. ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kati ano.

39 Na ka puta atu ia, ka haere ki Maunga Oriwa, ko tana hanga hoki tera; me te aru ano ana akonga i a ia.

40 A, i ia i taua wahi, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me inoi kei uru koutou ki te whakamatautauranga.

41 Na ka mawehe atu ia i a ratou, kei to te taunga kamaka te matara, a ka tuku i ona turi ka inoi,

42 Ka mea, E Pa, ki te pai koe, tangohia atu tenei kapu i ahau: otira kauaka e waiho i taku e pai ai, engari i tau.

43 Na ka puta mai ki a ia tetahi anahera i te rangi, e whakakaha ana i a ia.

44 A, i te oke o tona wairua, ka hohonu ake tana inoi: ko tona kakawa ka pena i te tepe toto e turuturu iho ana ki te whenua.

45 Na ka ara ia i te inoi, a ka tae ki ana akonga, rokohanga atu e moe ana ratou, he ngakau pouri hoki.

46 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka moe ai? Whakatika ki te inoi, kei uru koutou ki te whakamatautauranga.

47 I a ia e korero ana, na, ko te huihuinga tangata, a ko tera e huaina ra ko Hura, ko tetahi o te tekau ma rua, e haere ana i mua i a ratou; a ka whakatata ia ki a Ihu ki te kihi i a ia.

48 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, E Hura, he kihi tau hei tuku mo te Tama a te tangata?

49 A, no te kitenga o te hunga i tona taha i nga mea tera e tupono, ka mea ratou, E te Ariki, me patu ranei e matou ki te hoari?

50 Na haua iho e tetahi o ratou te pononga a te tohunga nui, poroa ana tona taringa matau.

51 Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, Kati ra i tenei. Whakapakia ana tona taringa, na kua ora.

52 Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga rangatira o te temepara, ki nga kaumatua, i haere atu ki a ia, He tahae ahau i haere mai ai koutou me nga hoari, me nga patu?

53 I ahau e noho ana i a koutou i te temepara i ia ra, i ia ra, kihai i totoro mai o koutou ringa ki ahau: otira no koutou tenei haora, ko te kaihanga hoki o te pouri.

54 Na ka hopukina ia e ratou, ka arahina atu, a kawea ana ki roto ki te whare o te tino tohunga. Ko Pita ia i aru mai i tawhiti.

55 A, no ka oti i a ratou he kapura te tahu ki waenga marae, i a ratou e noho tahi ana, ka noho hoki a Pita i waenganui o ratou.

56 Na ka kitea ia e tetahi kotiro, i a ia e noho ana i te marama o te kapura; a matatau tonu te titiro ki a ia, ka mea, I a ia ano hoki tenei.

57 Na ka whakakahore ia ki a ia, ka mea, E ko, kahore ahau e mohio ki a ia.

58 A taro kau iho ka kite tetahi atu i a ia, ka mea, No ratou hoki koe. Na ka mea a Pita, E mara, kahore.

59 A, me te mea kotahi te haora i muri iho, ka tohe ano tetahi atu, ka mea, He pono i a ia ano hoki tenei: no Kariri hoki.

60 A ka mea a Pita, E mara, kahore ahau e matau ki tau e mea na. A i reira pu ano, i a ia e korero ana, ka tangi te tikaokao.

61 Na ka tahuri te Ariki, ka titiro ki a Pita A ka mahara a Pita ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tana meatanga ki a ia, E kore e tangi te tikaokao, ka toru au whakakahoretanga i ahau.

62 Na haere atu ana a Pita ki waho, a nui atu tona tangi.

63 Na ka taunu nga kaipupuri o Ihu ki a ia, ka whiu i a ia.

64 Ka koparea ona kanohi, a ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Poropiti mai, na wai koe i papaki?

65 He maha hoki era atu kupu kino i korero ai ratou ki a ia.

66 A, i te aonga tonutanga o te ra, ka huihui nga kaumatua o te iwi, nga tohunga nui, me nga karaipi, a arahina atu ana ia ki to ratou runanga, ka mea ratou,

67 Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, korerotia mai ki a matou. Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, Ki te korerotia e ahau ki a koutou, e kore koutou e whakapono;

68 Ki te ui ahau, e kore koutou e whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.

69 Haere ake nei ka noho te Tama a te tangata ki matau o te kaha o te Atua.

70 Na ka mea ratou katoa, Ko te Tama ranei koe a te Atua? Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, Kua korerotia mai na e koutou ko ahau ia.

71 Na ka mea ratou, hei aha ake he kaiwhakaatu ma tatou? kua rongo nei hoki tatou i ta tona mangai.
