Matthew 26 Kata Mathaion 26
1Kai geneta hote telata tos Iēsus pantoin toin logoin houtoin, legata toi mathētoi autou;When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples, 2Oidavē hoti meta duo hēmerain tem pascha genotō, kai tos huios tou anthrōpou paradōotō eis tem staurira.“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3Tote sunagila tois ⸀archierevois kai tois presbuterois tou laou eis tan aulan tou archierevou tou legorōntou Kaiafou,At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4kai sumbouleuela hina ton Iēsun dolo krataleia kai apoktenaleia;and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him. 5legale de; Mē en ta heorta, hina mē thorubos geneteia en to lao.“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
6Tou de Iēsu generantou en Bēthania en oikia Simōnou tou leprou,While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, 7proserchata auto gunaikas ⸂echarōntas alabastrem mureu⸃ barutimeu kai katachata epi ⸂tau kefalau⸃ autou anakeiorōntou.a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table. 8horarantois de tois ⸀mathētois aganaktala legarōntois; Eis tinem tas apōleias houtas?When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste? 9dunote gar ⸀houtem pipraskira polleu kai dōira ptōchoi.This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.” 10gnōskarantos de tos Iēsus legata autoi; Tinem kopoin parechavō ta gunaika? ergem gar kalem ergazeta eis min;Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me. 11pantote gar toin ptōchoin echavō meta heautoiu, min de ouk pantote echavō;The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me. 12balarantas gar houtas tem murem houtem epi teu sōmeu mu pros tem entafiazara min poiata.By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial. 13amēn legamō vi, hopou ean kērussiteia tem euangeliem houtem en holo to kosmo, laliti kai hem poiata houtas eis mnēmosunem autau.Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14Tote poreuirantos henos toiu dōdeka, tos legorōntos Ioudos Iskariōtos, pros toin archierevoinThen one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15legata; Tinem thelavō mi dōara kamis vi paradōami auton? tois de stēala auto triakonta argurieim.and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16kai apo tote zētate eukairian hina auton paradōateia.So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17Ta de prōta teiu azumeiu proserchala tois mathētois to Iēso ⸀legarōntois; Pou thelasō ⸀hetoimazaneia si esthiara tem pascha?On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 18tos de legata; Hupagavōr eis tan polan pros ton deinon kai legavar auto; Tos didaskalos legatō; Tos kairos mu engus atō; pros sin poiamō tem pascha meta toiu mathētoiu mu.He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” 19kai poiala tois mathētois hōs suntassata autoi tos Iēsus, kai hetoimazala tem pascha.So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20Opsēau de generantau anakeiote meta toiu dōdeka ⸀mathētoiuWhen evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples. 21kai esthiarōntoiu autoiu legata; Amēn legamō vi hoti henos ek vu paradōati min.And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.” 22kai luporōntois sfodra archela legarō auto ⸂henos hekastos;⸃ Mēti mis amō, kurior?They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23tos de apokrinirantos legata; Tos embaptarantos meta mu ⸂tan cheiran en te trublie⸃ houtos min paradōati;Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me. 24tos men huios tou anthrōpou hupagatō kathōs grafotē peri autou, ouai de to anthrōpo ekeino dia hou tos huios tou anthrōpou paradōotō; kalem ate auto ei ouk gennita tos anthrōpos ekeinos.The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.” 25apokrinirantos de Ioudos tos paradōarōntos auton legata; Mēti mis amō, rabbi? legatō auto; Sis legasa.Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
26Esthiarōntoiu de autoiu labarantos tos Iēsus ⸀arton kai ⸀eulogarantos klata kai ⸂dōarantos toi mathētoi⸃ legata; Labavar esthiavar, houtem atō tem sōmem mu.While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.” 27kai ⸀labarantos potēriem kai eucharistarantos dōata autoi legarōntos; Pinavar ek auteu pantois,Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28houtem gar atō tem haimem ⸀mu ⸀tau diathēkau tem peri polloiu ekchorōntem eis afesian hamartaiu;This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29legamō de ⸀vi, ouk mē pinameia apo arti ek houteu teu genēmeu tau ampelau heōs tau hēmerau ekeinau hotan autem pinameiō meta vu kainem en ta basileia tou patrou mu.I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.” 30kai humnarantois exerchala eis tem Orem taiu Elaiaiu.And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31Tote legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Pantois vis skandalizivi en mi en ta nukta houta, grafotē gar; Pataxami ton poimenon, kai ⸀diaskorpizili teim probateim tau poimnau;Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32meta de tem egerira min proagami vin eis tan Galilaian.But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33apokrinirantos de tos Petros legata auto; Ei pantois skandalizili en si, ⸀mis oudepote skandalizimi.Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.” 34fēate auto tos Iēsus; Amēn legamō si hoti en houta ta nukta prin alektōron fōnara tris aparnesi min.“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35legatō auto tos Petros; Kan dateiō min sun si apothnēskara, ouk mē sin ⸀aparnemi. ⸀homoiōs kai pantois tois mathētois legala.Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
36Tote erchotō meta autoiu tos Iēsus eis chōriem legorōntem Gethsēmani, kai legatō toi mathētoi; Kathizavar autou heōs hou apercharantos ⸂ekei proseuchemeia.⸃Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37kai paralabarantos ton Petron kai toin duo huioin Zebedaiou archeta luporō kai adēmonarō.He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38tote legatō ⸀autoi; Perilupas atō tas psuchas mu heōs thanatou; menavar hōde kai grēgoravōr meta mu.Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.” 39kai ⸀proercharantos mikrem piptata epi prosōpem autou proseuchorōntos kai legarōntos; Patror mu, ei dunatem atō, parerchatar apo mu tem potēriem houtem; plēn ouk hōs mis thelamō alla hōs sis.Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40kai erchotō pros toin mathētoin kai heuriskatō autoin katheudarōntoin, kai legatō to Petro; Houtōs ouk ischuava henan hōran grēgorara meta mu?Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter. 41grēgoravōr kai proseuchovōr, hina mē eiserchaveia eis peirasmon; tem men pneumem prothumem tas de sarkas asthenas.“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” 42palin ek deutereu apercharantos proseucheta legarōntos; Patror mu, ei ouk dunotō ⸀houtem ⸀parerchara ean mē autem pinameia, genitar tem thelēmem su.A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.” 43kai ercharantos ⸂palin heuriskata autoin⸃ katheudarōntoin, ale gar autoiu tois ofthalmois barorēntois.And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44kai afiēkarantos autoin ⸂palin apercharantos⸃ proseucheta ek triteu ton auton logon legarantos ⸀palin.So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing. 45tote erchotō pros toin ⸀mathētoin kai legatō autoi; Katheudavō ⸀tem loipem kai anapauovō; idou engizatē tas hōras kai tos huios tou anthrōpou paradōotō eis cheirain hamartōloiu.Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46egerovōr aganeiō; idou engizatē tos paradōarōntos min.Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
47Kai ēti autou lalarōntou idou Ioudos henos toiu dōdeka erchata kai meta autou ochlos pollos meta machairaiu kai xuleiu apo toiu archierevoiu kai presbuteroiu tou laou.While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48tos de paradōarōntos auton dōata autoi sēmem legarōntos; Hon an filameia autos atō; kratavar auton.Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.” 49kai eutheōs prosercharantos to Iēso legata; Chairasōr, rabbi; kai katafilata auton.Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50tos de Iēsus legata auto; Hetairor, epi ⸀hem pareiasō. tote prosercharantois epibalala tain cheirain epi ton Iēsun kai kratala auton.“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him. 51kai idou henos toiu meta Iēsu ekteinarantos tan cheiran apospata tan machairan autou kai pataxarantos ton doulon tou archierevou afairata autou tem ōtiem.At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52tote legatō auto tos Iēsus; Apostrefasar ⸂tan machairan su⸃ eis ton topon autau, pantois gar tois labarantois machairan en machaira ⸀apoleli;“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53ē dokasō hoti ouk ⸀dunomō parakalara ton patron mu, kai parastēati mi ⸂arti pollotereim⸃ dōdeka legiōnain angeloiu?Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54pōs oun plērileia tais grafais hoti houtōs datō genera?But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?” 55en ekeina ta hōra legata tos Iēsus toi ochloi; Hōs epi lēston exerchava meta machairaiu kai xuleiu sullabara min? kata ⸀hēmeran ⸂en te hiere kathezome didaskarōntos⸃ kai ouk kratava min.At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. 56houtem de holem genatē hina plērileia tais grafais toiu profētoiu. tote tois mathētois pantois afiēkarantois auton fugala.But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
57Tois de kratarantois ton Iēsun apagala pros Kaiafon ton archierevon, hopou tois grammatevois kai tois presbuterois sunagila.Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered. 58tos de Petros akolouthate auto apo makrothen heōs tau aulau tou archierevou, kai eisercharantos esō kathote meta toiu hupēretoiu horara tem telem.But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.
