A Plot To Kill Jesus
(Matthew 26.1-5Matthew 14Matthew 16Mark 14.1Mark 2Mark 10Mark 11John 11.45-53)1 The Festival of Thin Bread, also called Passover, was near. 2 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus, because they were afraid of what the people might do. 3 Then Satan entered the heart of Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve apostles.
4 Judas went to talk with the chief priests and the officers of the temple police about how he could help them arrest Jesus. 5 They were very pleased and offered to pay Judas some money. 6 He agreed and started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus when the crowds were not around.
Jesus Eats with His Disciples
(Matthew 26.17-25Mark 14.12-21John 13.21-30)7 The day had come for the Festival of Thin Bread, and it was time to kill the Passover lambs. 8 So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat.”
9 But they asked, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
10 Jesus told them, “As you go into the city, you will meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house 11 and say to the owner, ‘Our teacher wants to know where he can eat the Passover meal with his disciples.’ 12 The owner will take you upstairs and show you a large room ready for you to use. Prepare the meal there.”
13 Peter and John left. They found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.
The Lord's Supper
(Matthew 26.26-30Mark 14.22-261 Corinthians 11.23-25)14 When the time came for Jesus and the apostles to eat, 15 he said to them, “I have very much wanted to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer. 16 I tell you I will not eat another Passover meal until it is finally eaten in God's kingdom.”
17 Jesus took a cup of wine in his hands and gave thanks to God. Then he told the apostles, “Take this wine and share it with each other. 18 I tell you that I will not drink any more wine until God's kingdom comes.”
19 Jesus took some bread in his hands and gave thanks for it. He broke the bread and handed it to his apostles. Then he said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Eat this as a way of remembering me!”
20 After the meal he took another cup of wine in his hands. Then he said, “This is my blood. It is poured out for you, and with it God makes his new agreement. 21 The one who will betray me is here at the table with me! 22 The Son of Man will die in the way that has been decided for him, but it will be terrible for the one who betrays him!”
23 Then the apostles started arguing about who would ever do such a thing.
An Argument about Greatness
24 The apostles got into an argument about which one of them was the greatest. 25 So Jesus told them:
Foreign kings order their people around, and powerful rulers call themselves everyone's friends. 26 But don't be like them. The most important one of you should be like the least important, and your leader should be like a servant. 27 Who do people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a servant.
28 You have stayed with me in all my troubles. 29 So I will give you the right to rule as kings, just as my Father has given me the right to rule as a king. 30 You will eat and drink with me in my kingdom, and you will each sit on a throne to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus' Disciples Will Be Tested
(Matthew 26.31-35Mark 14.27-31John 13.36-38)31 Jesus said, “Simon, listen to me! Satan has demanded the right to test each one of you, as a farmer does when he separates wheat from the husks. 32 But Simon, I have prayed that your faith will be strong. And when you have come back to me, help the others.”
33 Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to jail and even to die with you.”
34 Jesus replied, “Peter, I tell you that before a rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
Moneybags, Traveling Bags, and Swords
35 Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out without a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals, did you need anything?”
“No!” they answered.
36 Jesus told them, “But now, if you have a moneybag, take it with you. Also take a traveling bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell some of your clothes and buy one. 37 Do this because the Scriptures say, ‘He was considered a criminal.’ This was written about me, and it will soon come true.”
38 The disciples said, “Lord, here are two swords!”
“Enough of that!” Jesus replied.
Jesus Prays
(Matthew 26.36-46Mark 14.32-42)39 Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives, as he often did, and his disciples went with him. 40 When they got there, he told them, “Pray that you won't be tested.”
41 Jesus walked on a little way before he knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you will, please don't make me suffer by drinking from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want.”
43 Then an angel from heaven came to help him. 44 Jesus was in great pain and prayed so sincerely that his sweat fell to the ground like drops of blood.
45 Jesus got up from praying and went over to his disciples. They were asleep and worn out from being so sad. 46 He said to them, “Why are you asleep? Wake up and pray that you won't be tested.”
Jesus Is Arrested
(Matthew 26.47-56Mark 14.43-50John 18.3-11)47 While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. It was led by Judas, one of the twelve apostles. He went over to Jesus and greeted him with a kiss.
48 Jesus asked Judas, “Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When Jesus' disciples saw what was about to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we attack them with a sword?” 50 One of the disciples even struck at the high priest's servant with his sword and cut off the servant's right ear.
51 “Enough of that!” Jesus said. Then he touched the servant's ear and healed it.
52 Jesus spoke to the chief priests, the temple police, and the leaders who had come to arrest him. He said, “Why do you come out with swords and clubs and treat me like a criminal? 53 I was with you every day in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. But this is your time, and darkness is in control.”
Peter Says He Doesn't Know Jesus
(Matthew 26.57Matthew 58Matthew 67-75Mark 14.53Mark 54Mark 66-72John 18.12-18John 25-27)54 Jesus was arrested and led away to the house of the high priest, while Peter followed at a distance. 55 Some people built a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were sitting around it. Peter sat there with them, 56 and a servant girl saw him. Then after she had looked at him carefully, she said, “This man was with Jesus!”
57 Peter said, “Woman, I don't even know that man!”
58 A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You are one of them!”
“No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
59 About an hour later another man insisted, “This man must have been with Jesus. They both come from Galilee.”
60 Peter replied, “I don't know what you are talking about!” Right then, while Peter was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered that the Lord had said, “Before a rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me.” 62 Then Peter went out and cried bitterly.
63 The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him. 64 They put a blindfold on him and said, “Tell us who struck you!” 65 They kept on insulting Jesus in many other ways.
Jesus Is Questioned by the Council
(Matthew 26.59-66Mark 14.55-64John 18.19-24)66 At daybreak the nation's leaders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law of Moses got together and brought Jesus before their council. 67 They said, “Tell us! Are you the Messiah?”
Jesus replied, “If I said so, you wouldn't believe me. 68 And if I asked you a question, you wouldn't answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right side of God All-Powerful.”
70 Then they asked, “Are you the Son of God?”
Jesus answered, “You say I am!”
71 They replied, “Why do we need more witnesses? He said it himself!”
Vēršanās pret Jēzu
(Mt 26:1–5Mk 14:1–2Jņ 11:45–53)1 Tuvojās Neraudzētās maizes svētki, saukti Pasha. 2 Virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji meklēja iespēju, kā viņu pazudināt, bet viņi baidījās no tautas.
Jūdas nodevība
(Mt 26:14–16Mk 14:10–11)3 Tad sātans iegāja Jūdā, kuru sauca Iskariots, vienā no tiem divpadsmit. 4 Viņš aizgāja un sarunāja ar virspriesteriem un tempļa sardzes virsniekiem, kā viņu tiem nodot. 5 Un tie nopriecājās un savstarpēji vienojās, ka dos viņam naudu. 6 Viņš piekrita un meklēja izdevīgu brīdi, lai viņu tiem nodotu, kad nebūs klāt ļaudis.
Jēzus gatavojas ēst Pashas jēru
(Mt 26:17–25Mk 14:12–21Jņ 13:21–30)7 Tad pienāca Neraudzētās maizes diena, kad bija jākauj Pashas jērs. 8 Un viņš sūtīja Pēteri un Jāni, sacīdams: “Ejiet un sagatavojiet mums Pashas mielastu, lai mēs to varētu ēst.” 9 Tie viņam jautāja: “Kur tu gribi, lai mēs to sagatavojam?” 10 Viņš sacīja: “Redzi, iegājuši pilsētā, jūs sastapsiet cilvēku, kas nes māla krūzi ar ūdeni, sekojiet viņam tajā mājā, kur viņš ieies, 11 un sakiet tās mājas saimniekam: Skolotājs jautā: kur ir tā telpa, kur varu ar saviem mācekļiem baudīt Pashas mielastu? 12 Un viņš jums ierādīs lielu iekārtotu augšistabu, tur gatavojiet mielastu.” 13 Aizgājuši viņi atrada, kā viņš tiem bija sacījis, un sagatavoja Pashas mielastu. 14 Kad tā stunda pienāca, viņš apsēdās un apustuļi līdz ar viņu.
Pashas mielasts ar mācekļiem
(Mt 26:26–30Mk 14:22–261Kor 11:23–25)15 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Kā es ilgojos kopā ar jums ēst šo Pashu pirms savām ciešanām, 16 jo es jums saku: es to vairs neēdīšu, tiekams tas piepildīsies Dieva valstībā.” 17 Un, paņēmis biķeri un pateicies, viņš sacīja: “Ņemiet to un sadaliet savā starpā, 18 jo es jums saku: kopš šā brīža es no vīnakoka augļiem vairs nedzeršu, tiekams nāks Dieva valstība.” 19 Paņēmis maizi un pateicies, viņš lauza to un deva viņiem, sacīdams: “Šī ir mana miesa, kas par jums tiek dota; to dariet, mani pieminēdami.” 20 Tāpat viņš ņēma arī biķeri, kad viņi bija paēduši, un teica: “Šis biķeris ir jaunā derība manās asinīs, kas par jums tiek izlietas. 21 Bet, redzi, tā cilvēka roka, kas mani nodod, ir līdzās man uz galda. 22 Jo tiešām Cilvēka Dēls aiziet, kā tas nolikts, bet vai! tam cilvēkam, caur kuru viņš tiek nodots.” 23 Un viņi sāka taujāt cits citam, kurš no viņiem to grasās darīt.
Strīds par to, kurš ir lielākais
24 Un viņu starpā izcēlās arī strīds, kurš no viņiem būtu uzskatāms par lielāko. 25 Bet viņš tiem sacīja: “Ķēniņi valda pār tautām; un tie, kam vara pār tām, tiek saukti par labdariem. 26 Bet jūs tā ne. Lielākais no jums lai top kā mazākais, un galvenais lai ir kā kalps! 27 Kas ir lielāks – vai tas, kas pie galda sēž, vai tas, kas kalpo? Vai gan ne tas, kas sēž pie galda? Bet es jūsu vidū esmu kalpam līdzīgs. 28 Jūs vienmēr esat palikuši kopā ar mani manos pārbaudījumos. 29 Un es jums novēlu Valstību, tāpat kā mans Tēvs to novēlēja man, 30 lai jūs ēstu un dzertu pie mana galda manā Valstībā un sēdētu troņos, tiesādami divpadsmit Israēla ciltis.
Jēzus paredz Pētera nodevību
(Mt 26:31–35Mk 14:27–31Jņ 13:36–38)31 Sīmani, Sīmani, redzi – sātans gribējis jūs sijāt kā kviešus. 32 Bet es esmu lūdzis par tevi, lai tava ticība nemitētos. Un, kad tu būsi atgriezies, stiprini savus brāļus!” 33 Tas viņam sacīja: “Kungs, es esmu gatavs ar tevi doties pat cietumā un nāvē.” 34 Bet Jēzus sacīja: “Es tev saku, Pēteri, vēl gailis nebūs šodien nodziedājis, pirms tu trīs reizes noliegsi, ka mani pazīsti.”
Maks, soma un zobens
35 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Kad es jūs sūtīju bez maka, bez somas un bez apaviem, vai jums kā trūka?” Un tie atbildēja: “Nekā.” 36 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Bet tagad, kam ir maks, lai to ņem, tāpat arī somu, un, kam nav, tas lai pārdod drēbes un lai pērk zobenu, 37 jo es jums saku: pie manis ir jātop piepildītiem Rakstu vārdiem: viņš ir pieskaitīts noziedzniekiem . Un, kas par mani ir rakstīts, jau piepildās.” 38 Viņi sacīja: “Kungs, redzi, šeit ir divi zobeni.” Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Pietiek!”
Jēzus lūdz Olīvkalnā
(Mt 26:36–46Mk 14:32–42)39 Izgājis viņš, kā ieradis, devās uz Olīvkalnu, un arī mācekļi viņam sekoja. 40 Un, tajā vietā nonācis, viņš tiem sacīja: “Lūdziet Dievu, ka jūs nekrītat kārdināšanā.” 41 Viņš aizgāja no tiem sāņus akmens metiena attālumā un, ceļos nometies, lūdza Dievu: 42 “Tēvs, ja tu gribi, ņem šo biķeri prom no manis, tomēr lai notiek nevis mana, bet tava griba.” 43 Tad viņam parādījās eņģelis no debesīm un viņu stiprināja. 44 Nāves baiļu pārņemts, viņš lūdza Dievu vēl stiprāk. Un viņa sviedri kā biezas asins lāses ritēja zemē. 45 No lūgšanas piecēlies, viņš nāca pie mācekļiem un atrada tos bēdās aizmigušus. 46 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Kādēļ jūs guļat? Celieties un lūdziet Dievu, ka jūs nekrītat kārdināšanā.”
Jēzus tiek apcietināts
(Mt 26:47–56Mk 14:43–50Jņ 18:3–11)47 Viņam vēl runājot, redzi, nāca ļaužu pūlis, un viens no tiem divpadsmit, vārdā Jūda, gāja viņiem pa priekšu un tuvojās Jēzum, lai viņu skūpstītu. 48 Bet Jēzus tam sacīja: “Jūda, vai ar skūpstu tu nodod Cilvēka Dēlu?” 49 Bet tie, kas bija ap viņu, redzēdami, kas notiek, sacīja: “Kungs, vai lai cērtam ar zobenu?” 50 Un viens no viņiem cirta virspriestera kalpam un nocirta tam labo ausi. 51 Bet Jēzus sacīja: “Stājiet, pietiek!” Un, pieskāries ausij, viņš to dziedināja. 52 Tad Jēzus sacīja tiem, kas bija ieradušies pēc viņa, – virspriesteriem, tempļa sardzes virsniekiem un vecajiem: “Kā pret laupītāju jūs esat izgājuši ar zobeniem un rungām? 53 Kad ik dienas biju ar jums templī, jūs neizstiepāt rokas pēc manis; bet šī ir jūsu stunda un tumsības vara.”
Pēteris noliedz Jēzu
(Mt 26:57–58, Mt 69–75Mk 14:53–54, Mk 66–72Jņ 18:12–18, Jņ 25–27)54 Tie viņu saņēma un ieveda augstā priestera namā. Bet Pēteris iztālēm sekoja. 55 Tad ļaudis, sakūruši ugunskuru pagalma vidū, sasēdās ap to, un Pēteris apsēdās starp viņiem. 56 Kāda kalpone ieraudzīja viņu sēžam pie uguns un, cieši ieskatījusies viņā, sacīja: “Šis arī bija kopā ar viņu.” 57 Bet tas noliedza viņu, sacīdams: “Sieviete, es viņu nepazīstu.” 58 Un pēc īsa brīža cits, viņu ieraudzījis, sacīja: “Tu arī esi no viņiem.” Bet Pēteris teica: “Cilvēk, es neesmu.” 59 Pagāja kāda stunda, un vēl kāds cits uzstāja: “Patiesi šis arī bija ar viņu, jo arī ir galilejietis.” 60 Bet Pēteris sacīja: “Cilvēk, es nesaprotu, par ko tu runā.” Un, viņam vēl runājot, pēkšņi iedziedājās gailis. 61 Kungs pagriezies uzlūkoja Pēteri, un Pēteris atcerējās Kunga vārdus, kad tas viņam sacīja: “Šodien, pirms gailis dziedās, tu mani trīs reizes noliegsi.” 62 Un, izgājis ārā, viņš rūgti raudāja.
Jēzus zaimots un sists
(Mt 26:67–68Mk 14:65)63 Vīri, kas apsargāja Jēzu, ņirgājās par viņu un sita, 64 un, aizklājuši viņam seju, tincināja: “Nu pravieto, kurš tev iesita.” 65 Un vēl visādi zaimoja viņu.
Jēzus sinedrija priekšā
(Mt 26:59–66Mk 14:55–64Jņ 18:19–24)66 Kad iestājās diena, sapulcējās tautas vecajie, virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji un aizveda viņu uz sinedriju, 67 un teica: “Ja tu esi Kristus, saki mums to.” Bet viņš tiem atbildēja: “Ja es jums to arī teikšu, jūs tam neticēsiet. 68 Un, ja es jums jautāšu, jūs man neatbildēsiet. 69 Bet no šā brīža Cilvēka Dēls sēdēs pie varenā Dieva labās rokas. ” 70 Tad viņi visi jautāja: “Tātad tu esi Dieva Dēls?” Bet viņš tiem atbildēja: “Jūs sakāt, ka es tas esmu.” 71 Bet viņi sacīja: “Kāda vēl liecība mums vajadzīga? Mēs taču paši to dzirdējām no viņa mutes.”
