The Arrest of Jesus
(Matthew 26.47-56Mark 14.43-50Luke 22.47-53)1 After Jesus had said this prayer, he left with his disciples and went across Kidron Brook. There was a garden in that place, and Jesus and his disciples went in. 2 Judas, the traitor, knew where it was, because many times Jesus had met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches. 4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
“I am he,” he said.
Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them. 6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground. 7 Again Jesus asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 “I have already told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “If, then, you are looking for me, let these others go.” ( 9 He said this so that what he had said might come true: “Father, I have not lost even one of those you gave me.”)
10 Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the High Priest's slave, cutting off his right ear. The name of the slave was Malchus. 11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back in its place! Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?”
Jesus before Annas
12 Then the Roman soldiers with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus, tied him up, 13 and took him first to Annas. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish authorities that it was better that one man should die for all the people.
Peter Denies Jesus
(Matthew 26.69Matthew 70Mark 14.66-68Luke 22.55-57)15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was well known to the High Priest, so he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the High Priest's house, 16 while Peter stayed outside by the gate. Then the other disciple went back out, spoke to the girl at the gate, and brought Peter inside. 17 The girl at the gate said to Peter, “Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?”
“No, I am not,” answered Peter.
18 It was cold, so the servants and guards had built a charcoal fire and were standing around it, warming themselves. So Peter went over and stood with them, warming himself.
The High Priest Questions Jesus
(Matthew 26.59-66Mark 14.55-64Luke 22.66-71)19 The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20 Jesus answered, “I have always spoken publicly to everyone; all my teaching was done in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the people come together. I have never said anything in secret. 21 Why, then, do you question me? Question the people who heard me. Ask them what I told them—they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards there slapped him and said, “How dare you talk like that to the High Priest!”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything wrong, tell everyone here what it was. But if I am right in what I have said, why do you hit me?”
24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the High Priest.
Peter Denies Jesus Again
(Matthew 26.71-75Mark 14.69-72Luke 22.58-62)25 Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, “Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?”
But Peter denied it. “No, I am not,” he said.
26 One of the High Priest's slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, spoke up. “Didn't I see you with him in the garden?” he asked.
27 Again Peter said “No”—and at once a rooster crowed.
Jesus before Pilate
(Matthew 27.1Matthew 2Matthew 11-14Mark 15.1-5Luke 23.1-5)28 Early in the morning Jesus was taken from Caiaphas' house to the governor's palace. The Jewish authorities did not go inside the palace, for they wanted to keep themselves ritually clean, in order to be able to eat the Passover meal. 29 So Pilate went outside to them and asked, “What do you accuse this man of?”
30 Their answer was, “We would not have brought him to you if he had not committed a crime.”
31 Pilate said to them, “Then you yourselves take him and try him according to your own law.”
They replied, “We are not allowed to put anyone to death.” ( 32 This happened in order to make come true what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he would die.)
33 Pilate went back into the palace and called Jesus. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked him.
34 Jesus answered, “Does this question come from you or have others told you about me?”
35 Pilate replied, “Do you think I am a Jew? It was your own people and the chief priests who handed you over to me. What have you done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world; if my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. No, my kingdom does not belong here!”
37 So Pilate asked him, “Are you a king, then?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me.”
38 “And what is truth?” Pilate asked.
Jesus Is Sentenced to Death
(Matthew 27.15-31Mark 15.6-20Luke 23.13-25)Then Pilate went back outside to the people and said to them, “I cannot find any reason to condemn him. 39 But according to the custom you have, I always set free a prisoner for you during the Passover. Do you want me to set free for you the king of the Jews?”
40 They answered him with a shout, “No, not him! We want Barabbas!” (Barabbas was a bandit.)
Jēzus tiek nodots un apcietināts
(Mt 26:47–56Mk 14:43–50Lk 22:47–53)1 To teicis, Jēzus kopā ar saviem mācekļiem devās pāri Kidronas strautam; tur bija dārzs, kur viņš un viņa mācekļi iegāja. 2 Arī viņa nodevējs Jūda šo vietu zināja, jo Jēzus kopā ar saviem mācekļiem tur bieži bija pulcējušies. 3 Tad nu Jūda nāk uz turieni un ved sev līdzi karavīru nodaļu un arī virspriesteru un farizeju sūtītos sargus ar lāpām, lukturiem un ieročiem. 4 Bet Jēzus, zinādams visu, kas nāks pār viņu, izgāja pie tiem un jautāja: “Ko jūs meklējat?” 5 Tie viņam atbildēja: “Nācarieti, Jēzu.” Viņš tiem sacīja: “ES ESMU.” Arī Jūda, viņa nodevējs, stāvēja kopā ar tiem. 6 Kad viņš sacīja: ES ESMU, – tie kāpās atpakaļ un krita pie zemes. 7 Tad viņš tiem jautāja atkal: “Ko jūs meklējat?” Tie sacīja: “Nācarieti, Jēzu.” 8 Jēzus atbildēja: “Es jums teicu, ka ES ESMU. Ja jūs meklējat mani, tad šiem ļaujiet iet,” – 9 lai piepildītos vārdi, ko viņš bija teicis: “No tiem, kurus tu man esi devis, es neesmu pazudinājis nevienu.” 10 Tad Sīmanis Pēteris, kam bija zobens, izvilcis to, cirta augstā priestera kalpam un nocirta tam labo ausi. Šī kalpa vārds bija Malhs. 11 Jēzus Pēterim sacīja: “Liec zobenu makstī. Vai tad es nedzeršu to biķeri, ko Tēvs man ir devis?”
Jēzus augstā priestera priekšā
(Mt 26:57–58Mk 14:53–54Lk 22:54)12 Tad kareivji ar savu virsnieku un jūdi, sargi, saņēma Jēzu, sasēja viņu 13 un aizveda vispirms pie Hanna; tas bija sievastēvs Kajafam, kurš tajā gadā bija augstais priesteris. 14 Kajafa bija tas, kurš jūdiem bija devis padomu: ir labāk, ja viens cilvēks mirst par tautu.
Pēteris noliedz Jēzu
(Mt 26:69–70Mk 14:66–68Lk 22:55–57)15 Sīmanis Pēteris un vēl viens māceklis sekoja Jēzum. Šis māceklis bija pazīstams augstajam priesterim, un viņš iegāja līdz ar Jēzu augstā priestera pagalmā. 16 Bet Pēteris palika stāvam ārā pie vārtiem. Tad otrs māceklis, kas bija pazīstams augstajam priesterim, iznāca ārā un, parunājis ar vārtu sargātāju, ieveda Pēteri iekšā. 17 Kalpone, vārtu sargātāja, Pēterim sacīja: “Vai tik tu arī neesi no šī cilvēka mācekļiem?” Viņš atbildēja: “Neesmu.” 18 Bet kalpi un sulaiņi, sakūruši no oglēm ugunskuru, stāvēja un sildījās, jo bija auksts; un arī Pēteris piestājās pie tiem un sildījās.
Augstais priesteris pratina Jēzu
(Mt 26:59–66Mk 14:55–64Lk 22:66–71)19 Tikmēr augstais priesteris izjautāja Jēzu par viņa mācekļiem un par viņa mācību. 20 Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Es pasaulē esmu runājis atklāti. Es vienmēr esmu mācījis sinagogā un templī, kur sanāk kopā visi jūdi, un neko neesmu runājis slepenībā. 21 Kādēļ tu jautā man? Jautā tiem, kas ir dzirdējuši, ko es viņiem esmu runājis. Redzi, tie zina, ko es esmu teicis.” 22 Kad viņš to runāja, viens no sargiem, kas turpat stāvēja, iesita Jēzum pa seju, sacīdams: “Vai tā tu atbildi augstajam priesterim?!” 23 Jēzus viņam teica: “Ja es esmu runājis aplam, tad pierādi, ka aplam; bet, ja pareizi, tad kādēļ tu mani sit?” 24 Tad Hanns viņu sasietu aizsūtīja pie augstā priestera Kajafas.
Pēteris vēlreiz noliedz Jēzu
(Mt 26:71–75Mk 14:69–72Lk 22:58–62)25 Sīmanis Pēteris stāvēja pie uguns un sildījās. Tad tie viņam jautāja: “Vai tu arī neesi no viņa mācekļiem?” Viņš liedzās, teikdams: “Neesmu!” 26 Viens no augstā priestera kalpiem, radinieks tam, kuram Pēteris bija nocirtis ausi, sacīja: “Vai tad es tevi neredzēju kopā ar viņu dārzā?” 27 Pēteris atkal liedzās, un tūdaļ iedziedājās gailis.
Jēzus Pilāta priekšā
(Mt 27:1–2Mk 15:1–5Lk 23:1–5)28 Tad no Kajafas tie veda Jēzu uz pārvaldnieka pili. Bija jau rīts. Paši viņi negāja pārvaldnieka pilī, lai neapgānītos un lai varētu ēst Pashas jēru. 29 Pilāts izgāja pie tiem ārā un jautāja: “Par ko jūs apsūdzat šo cilvēku?” 30 Tie viņam atbildēja: “Ja šis nebūtu ļaundaris, vai tad mēs būtu viņu tev nodevuši?” 31 Pilāts tiem sacīja: “Tad ņemiet viņu jūs un tiesājiet pēc sava likuma.” Jūdi viņam atbildēja: “Mums nav ļauts nevienu nonāvēt,” – 32 lai piepildītos Jēzus vārdi, ko viņš bija sacījis, norādīdams, kādā nāvē viņam būs jāmirst. 33 Tad Pilāts atkal iegāja pilī, pasauca Jēzu un viņam jautāja: “Vai tu esi jūdu Ķēniņš?” 34 Jēzus atbildēja: “Vai tu saki pats no sevis, vai to tev par mani sacījuši citi?” 35 Pilāts viņam teica: “Vai tad es esmu jūds? Tava tauta un virspriesteri man tevi ir nodevuši. Ko tu esi izdarījis?” 36 Jēzus atbildēja: “Mana valstība nav no šīs pasaules. Ja mana valstība būtu no šīs pasaules, mani kalpi būtu cīnījušies, lai es netiktu jūdiem nodots. Bet mana valstība nav no šejienes.” 37 Tad Pilāts viņam jautāja: “Tad tomēr tu esi Ķēniņš?” Jēzus atbildēja: “Tu saki, ka es esmu Ķēniņš. Es esmu dzimis un esmu pasaulē nācis tādēļ, lai liecinātu patiesību. Katrs, kas ir no patiesības, dzird manu balsi.” 38 Tad Pilāts viņam sacīja: “Kas ir patiesība?”
Jēzum piespriež nāves sodu
(Mt 27:15–31Mk 15:6–20Lk 23:13–25)To pateicis, viņš atkal izgāja pie jūdiem un tiem sacīja: “Es pie viņa nekādas vainas neatrodu. 39 Jums ir paradums, ka uz Pashas svētkiem es jums kādu atlaižu. Vai gribat, es jums atlaidīšu jūdu Ķēniņu?” 40 Tad tie atkal sāka kliegt, saukdami: “Šo ne, bet Barabu!” Šis Baraba bija laupītājs.
