1 When|strong="G3753" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" finished|strong="G5055" teaching|strong="G3056" all|strong="G3956" of|strong="G3056" that|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3956" disciples|strong="G3101",

3 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992" met|strong="G4863" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" house of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest, who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" called|strong="G3004" Caiaphas|strong="G2533",
4 and|strong="G2532" plotted|strong="G4823" together|strong="G4823" to|strong="G2443" arrest|strong="G2902" Jesus|strong="G2424" by|strong="G2532" stealth|strong="G1388" and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2443" death;
5 but|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004", ‘Not|strong="G3361" during|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Festival|strong="G1859", or|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G2992" may|strong="G2443" riot|strong="G2351".’
6 After|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" reached|strong="G1096" Bethany, and|strong="G1161" while|strong="G1722" he|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1096" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" house|strong="G3614" of|strong="G1722" Simon|strong="G4613" the|strong="G1722" leper|strong="G3015",
7 a|strong="G2192" woman|strong="G1135" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" with|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2192" alabaster jar of|strong="G2532" very|strong="G2532" costly|strong="G4186" perfume|strong="G3464", and|strong="G2532" poured|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" perfume|strong="G3464" on|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" head|strong="G2776" as|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" sat|strong="G2532" at|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" table.
8 The|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" were|strong="G3588" indignant at|strong="G1519" seeing|strong="G3708" this|strong="G3778". ‘What|strong="G5101" is|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3778" waste for|strong="G1519"?’ they|strong="G1161" exclaimed|strong="G3004".
9 ‘It|strong="G2532" could|strong="G1410" have|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" sold|strong="G4097" for|strong="G1063" a|strong="G2532" large|strong="G4183" sum, and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" money given|strong="G1325" to|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434" people|strong="G4183".’

14 It|strong="G5119" was|strong="G3588" then|strong="G5119" that|strong="G3588" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1520" the|strong="G4314" Twelve|strong="G1427", named|strong="G3004" Judas|strong="G2455" Iscariot|strong="G2469", made|strong="G3004" his|strong="G4314" way|strong="G4198" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G4314" chief priests,
15 and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" ‘What|strong="G5101" are|strong="G3588" you|strong="G4771" willing|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2532" give|strong="G1325" me|strong="G1325", if|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" betray|strong="G3860" Jesus|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771"?’ The|strong="G2532" Priests counted him|strong="G3588" out|strong="G2532" thirty|strong="G5144" pieces of|strong="G2532" silver as|strong="G1161" payment.
16 So|strong="G2443" from|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" time|strong="G5119" Judas|strong="G2212" looked|strong="G2532" for|strong="G2212" an|strong="G2532" opportunity|strong="G2120" to|strong="G2443" betray|strong="G3860" Jesus|strong="G2532".

20 In|strong="G1096" the|strong="G1161" evening|strong="G3798" Jesus|strong="G3326" took|strong="G1096" his|strong="G3326" place|strong="G1096" with|strong="G3326" the|strong="G1161" twelve|strong="G1427" disciples|strong="G3101",

36 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" came|strong="G2064" with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" garden called|strong="G3004" Gethsemane|strong="G1068", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", ‘\+w Sit|strong="G2523"\+w* \+w down|strong="G2523"\+w* \+w here|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w while|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w I|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w go|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w pray|strong="G4336"\+w* \+w over|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w there|strong="G1563"\+w*.’

43 And|strong="G2532" coming|strong="G2064" back|strong="G3825" again|strong="G3825" he|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" them|strong="G3588" asleep|strong="G2518", for|strong="G1063" their|strong="G1438" eyes|strong="G3788" were|strong="G1510" heavy.
44 So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" left them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2532" away again|strong="G3825", and|strong="G2532" prayed|strong="G4336" a|strong="G2532" third|strong="G5154" time|strong="G5154", again|strong="G3825" saying|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G2532" words|strong="G3056".
45 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Sleep|strong="G2518"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w now|strong="G2532"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* rest yourselves. \+w Look|strong="G2400"\+w* – \+w my|strong="G3708"\+w* \+w time|strong="G5610"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w close|strong="G1448"\+w* \+w at|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w hand|strong="G5495"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w being|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w betrayed|strong="G3860"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w hands|strong="G5495"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w wicked|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w people|strong="G3004"\+w*.

47 And|strong="G2532", while|strong="G2980" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" still|strong="G2089" speaking|strong="G2980", Judas|strong="G2455", who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Twelve|strong="G1427", came|strong="G2064" in|strong="G2532" sight|strong="G3588"; and|strong="G2532" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992", with|strong="G3326" swords|strong="G3162" and|strong="G2532" clubs|strong="G3586", sent|strong="G2532" from|strong="G2064" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests and|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992".
48 Now|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" betrayer|strong="G3860" had|strong="G1510" arranged a|strong="G1510" signal with|strong="G3588" them|strong="G3588". ‘The|strong="G1161" man|strong="G2902" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G3739" kiss|strong="G5368",’ he|strong="G1161" had|strong="G1510" said|strong="G3004", ‘will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1161" one|strong="G3739"; arrest|strong="G2902" him|strong="G3588".’
49 So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" at|strong="G3588" once, and|strong="G2532" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘Welcome, Rabbi|strong="G4461"!’ and|strong="G2532" kissed|strong="G2705" him|strong="G3588";
50 at|strong="G1909" which|strong="G3739" Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Friend|strong="G2083"\+w*, \+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w come|strong="G3918"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1909"\+w*.’ The|strong="G2532" men|strong="G3588" went|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334", seized|strong="G2902" Jesus|strong="G2424", and|strong="G2532" arrested|strong="G2902" him|strong="G3588".
51 Suddenly|strong="G2400" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" with|strong="G3326" Jesus|strong="G2424" stretched|strong="G1614" out|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" hand|strong="G5495", and|strong="G2532" drew|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" sword|strong="G3162", and|strong="G2532" striking|strong="G3960" the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest’s servant|strong="G1401", cut|strong="G2532" off his|strong="G3708" ear|strong="G5621".
52 ‘Sheathe \+w your|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w sword|strong="G3162"\+w*,’ Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w for|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3588"\+w* draw \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w sword|strong="G3162"\+w* \+w will|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w be|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w put|strong="G3956"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w sword|strong="G3162"\+w*.

55 Jesus|strong="G2424" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" same|strong="G1565" time|strong="G2250" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" crowds|strong="G3793", ‘\+w Have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w come|strong="G1831"\+w* \+w out|strong="G1831"\+w*, \+w as|strong="G5613"\+w* \+w if|strong="G5613"\+w* \+w after|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w a|strong="G5613"\+w* \+w robber|strong="G3027"\+w*, \+w with|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w swords|strong="G3162"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w clubs|strong="G3586"\+w*, \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w take|strong="G2902"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*? \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sat|strong="G2516"\+w* \+w teaching|strong="G1321"\+w* \+w day|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w after|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w day|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w Temple|strong="G2413"\+w* Courts, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w did|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w arrest|strong="G2902"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.’
56 The|strong="G3956" whole|strong="G3650" of|strong="G3956" this|strong="G3778" occurred|strong="G1096" in|strong="G3956" fulfilment of|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" prophetic scriptures|strong="G1124". Then|strong="G5119" the|strong="G3956" disciples|strong="G3101" all|strong="G3956" forsook him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G1161" fled|strong="G5343".
57 Those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2424" arrested|strong="G2902" Jesus|strong="G2424" took|strong="G2902" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G4314" Caiaphas|strong="G2533", the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest, where|strong="G3699" the|strong="G2532" teachers of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Law and|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245" had|strong="G2424" assembled|strong="G4863".
58 Peter|strong="G4074" followed him|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1161" a|strong="G2532" distance|strong="G3113" as|strong="G1161" far|strong="G2193" as|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest’s courtyard, to|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" the|strong="G2532" outcome|strong="G5056".
59 Meanwhile|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" whole|strong="G3650" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" High|strong="G2532" Council|strong="G4892" were|strong="G3588" trying|strong="G2212" to|strong="G2532" get|strong="G2532" such|strong="G1161" false|strong="G5577" evidence against|strong="G2596" Jesus|strong="G2424", as|strong="G1161" would|strong="G2532" warrant putting|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" death|strong="G2289",
60 but|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" find|strong="G2147" any|strong="G3756", although|strong="G1161" many|strong="G4183" came|strong="G4334" forward|strong="G4334" with|strong="G2532" false|strong="G4183" evidence. Later|strong="G5305" on|strong="G1161", however|strong="G1161", two|strong="G1417" men|strong="G1417" came|strong="G4334" forward|strong="G4334" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G1161",

62 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest stood|strong="G3588" up|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004", ‘Have|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" no|strong="G3762" answer?

63 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" remained|strong="G1510" silent|strong="G4623". The|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2443" him|strong="G3588", ‘I|strong="G1473" order|strong="G2443" you|strong="G4771", by|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2532" living|strong="G2198" God|strong="G2316", to|strong="G2443" tell|strong="G3004" us|strong="G3004" whether|strong="G1487" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547", the|strong="G2532" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" God|strong="G2316".’
64 ‘\+w It|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w true|strong="G3588"\+w*,’ Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Moreover|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w all|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* hereafter \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w see|strong="G3708"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w sitting|strong="G2521"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w right|strong="G1188"\+w* \+w hand|strong="G1188"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* Almighty, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w coming|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w clouds|strong="G3507"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w heavens|strong="G3772"\+w*.’
65 Then|strong="G5119" the|strong="G3588" high priest tore|strong="G1284" his|strong="G3708" robes|strong="G2440". ‘This|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" blasphemy!’ he|strong="G3588" exclaimed|strong="G3004". ‘Why|strong="G5101" do|strong="G5101" we|strong="G2192" want any|strong="G2089" more|strong="G2089" witnesses|strong="G3144"? You|strong="G3004" have|strong="G2192" just|strong="G3568" heard his|strong="G3708" blasphemy!
66 What|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" your|strong="G3588" decision?’ They|strong="G1161" answered|strong="G3004", ‘He|strong="G1161" deserves|strong="G1777" death|strong="G2288".’
67 Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" spat|strong="G1716" in|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" face|strong="G4383", and|strong="G2532" struck him|strong="G3588", while|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" dealt blows at|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", saying as|strong="G1519" they|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532",
68 ‘Now|strong="G1510" play the|strong="G3588" prophet for|strong="G5101" us|strong="G3004", you|strong="G4771" Christ|strong="G5547"! Who|strong="G5101" was|strong="G1510" it|strong="G5101" that|strong="G3588" struck|strong="G3817" you|strong="G4771"?’
69 Peter|strong="G4074", meanwhile|strong="G1161", was|strong="G1510" sitting|strong="G2521" outside|strong="G1854" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" courtyard; and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" maidservant came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" exclaimed|strong="G3004", ‘Why, you|strong="G4771" were|strong="G1510" with|strong="G3326" Jesus|strong="G2424" the|strong="G1722" Galilean|strong="G1057"!’
70 But|strong="G1161" Peter denied it|strong="G1161" before|strong="G1715" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956". ‘I|strong="G1161" do|strong="G5101" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" what|strong="G5101" you|strong="G3004" mean|strong="G3004",’ he|strong="G1161" replied|strong="G3004".
71 When|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" gone|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" gateway|strong="G4440", another|strong="G3588" maid saw|strong="G3708" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" there|strong="G1563", ‘This|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" was|strong="G1510" with|strong="G3326" Jesus|strong="G2424" of|strong="G2532" Nazareth|strong="G3480"!’
72 Again|strong="G3825" he|strong="G2532" denied it|strong="G2532" with|strong="G3326" an|strong="G2532" oath|strong="G3727", ‘I|strong="G2532" do|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3756"!’
73 But|strong="G1161" soon afterwards those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" standing|strong="G2476" by|strong="G1537" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G2476" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G4074", ‘You|strong="G4771" also|strong="G2532" are|strong="G1510" certainly|strong="G1063" one|strong="G3588" of|strong="G1537" them|strong="G3588"; why|strong="G1063", even|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" way|strong="G2981" of|strong="G1537" speaking|strong="G3004" proves it|strong="G2532"!’
74 Then|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G2532" said|strong="G5119", ‘I|strong="G2532" swear|strong="G3660" that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G2532" do|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3756"! May|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2532" punish me|strong="G3756" if|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2532" am|strong="G2532" lying!’ At|strong="G3756" that|strong="G3754" moment a|strong="G2532" cock crowed|strong="G5455";
75 and|strong="G2532" Peter|strong="G4074" remembered|strong="G3403" the|strong="G2532" words|strong="G4487" which|strong="G3588" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" – “\+w Before|strong="G4250"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* cock \+w has|strong="G3748"\+w* \+w crowed|strong="G5455"\+w*, \+w you|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* disown \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w three|strong="G5151"\+w* \+w times|strong="G5151"\+w*”; and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1831" outside|strong="G1854", and|strong="G2532" wept|strong="G2799" bitterly|strong="G4090".
