The Plot against Jesus
(Matthew 26.1-5Luke 22.1Luke 2John 11.45-53)1 It was now two days before the Festival of Passover and Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and put him to death. 2 “We must not do it during the festival,” they said, “or the people might riot.”
Jesus Is Anointed at Bethany
(Matthew 26.6-13John 12.1-8)3 Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a dreaded skin disease. While Jesus was eating, a woman came in with an alabaster jar full of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on Jesus' head. 4 Some of the people there became angry and said to one another, “What was the use of wasting the perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!” And they criticized her harshly.
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a fine and beautiful thing for me. 7 You will always have poor people with you, and any time you want to, you can help them. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could; she poured perfume on my body to prepare it ahead of time for burial. 9 Now, I assure you that wherever the gospel is preached all over the world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
(Matthew 26.14-16Luke 22.3-6)10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Jesus to them. 11 They were pleased to hear what he had to say, and promised to give him money. So Judas started looking for a good chance to hand Jesus over to them.
Jesus Eats the Passover Meal with His Disciples
(Matthew 26.17-25Luke 22.7-14Luke 21-23John 13.21-30)12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the day the lambs for the Passover meal were killed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and get the Passover meal ready for you?”
13 Then Jesus sent two of them with these instructions: “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him 14 to the house he enters, and say to the owner of the house: ‘The Teacher says, Where is the room where my disciples and I will eat the Passover meal?’ 15 Then he will show you a large upstairs room, fixed up and furnished, where you will get everything ready for us.”
16 The disciples left, went to the city, and found everything just as Jesus had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
17 When it was evening, Jesus came with the twelve disciples. 18 While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you that one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
19 The disciples were upset and began to ask him, one after the other, “Surely you don't mean me, do you?”
20 Jesus answered, “It will be one of you twelve, one who dips his bread in the dish with me. 21 The Son of Man will die as the Scriptures say he will; but how terrible for that man who will betray the Son of Man! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born!”
The Lord's Supper
(Matthew 26.26-30Luke 22.14-201 Corinthians 11.23-25)22 While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. “Take it,” he said, “this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and handed it to them; and they all drank from it. 24 Jesus said, “This is my blood which is poured out for many, my blood which seals God's covenant. 25 I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God.”
26 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
(Matthew 26.31-35Luke 22.31-34John 13.36-38)27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will run away and leave me, for the scripture says, ‘God will kill the shepherd, and the sheep will all be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”
29 Peter answered, “I will never leave you, even though all the rest do!”
30 Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you that before the rooster crows two times tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me.”
31 Peter answered even more strongly, “I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!”
And all the other disciples said the same thing.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
(Matthew 26.36-46Luke 22.39-46)32 They came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. Distress and anguish came over him, 34 and he said to them, “The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch.”
35 He went a little farther on, threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if possible, he might not have to go through that time of suffering. 36 “Father,” he prayed, “my Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.”
37 Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake for even one hour?” 38 And he said to them, “Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 He went away once more and prayed, saying the same words. 40 Then he came back to the disciples and found them asleep; they could not keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to say to him.
41 When he came back the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come! Look, the Son of Man is now being handed over to the power of sinners. 42 Get up, let us go. Look, here is the man who is betraying me!”
The Arrest of Jesus
(Matthew 26.47-56Luke 22.47-53John 18.3-12)43 Jesus was still speaking when Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs and sent by the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders. 44 The traitor had given the crowd a signal: “The man I kiss is the one you want. Arrest him and take him away under guard.”
45 As soon as Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus and said, “Teacher!” and kissed him. 46 So they arrested Jesus and held him tight. 47 But one of those standing there drew his sword and struck at the High Priest's slave, cutting off his ear. 48 Then Jesus spoke up and said to them, “Did you have to come with swords and clubs to capture me, as though I were an outlaw? 49 Day after day I was with you teaching in the Temple, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must come true.”
50 Then all the disciples left him and ran away.
51 A certain young man, dressed only in a linen cloth, was following Jesus. They tried to arrest him, 52 but he ran away naked, leaving the cloth behind.
Jesus before the Council
(Matthew 26.57-68Luke 22.54Luke 55Luke 63-71John 18.13John 14John 19-24)53 Then Jesus was taken to the High Priest's house, where all the chief priests, the elders, and the teachers of the Law were gathering. 54 Peter followed from a distance and went into the courtyard of the High Priest's house. There he sat down with the guards, keeping himself warm by the fire. 55 The chief priests and the whole Council tried to find some evidence against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any. 56 Many witnesses told lies against Jesus, but their stories did not agree.
57 Then some men stood up and told this lie against Jesus: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will tear down this Temple which men have made, and after three days I will build one that is not made by men.’” 59 Not even they, however, could make their stories agree.
60 The High Priest stood up in front of them all and questioned Jesus, “Have you no answer to the accusation they bring against you?”
61 But Jesus kept quiet and would not say a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed God?”
62 “I am,” answered Jesus, “and you will all see the Son of Man seated at the right side of the Almighty and coming with the clouds of heaven!”
63 The High Priest tore his robes and said, “We don't need any more witnesses! 64 You heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?”
They all voted against him: he was guilty and should be put to death.
65 Some of them began to spit on Jesus, and they blindfolded him and hit him. “Guess who hit you!” they said. And the guards took him and slapped him.
Peter Denies Jesus
(Matthew 26.69-75Luke 22.56-62John 18.15-18John 25-27)66 Peter was still down in the courtyard when one of the High Priest's servant women came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked straight at him and said, “You, too, were with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it. “I don't know … I don't understand what you are talking about,” he answered, and went out into the passageway. Just then a rooster crowed.
69 The servant woman saw him there and began to repeat to the bystanders, “He is one of them!” 70 But Peter denied it again.
A little while later the bystanders accused Peter again, “You can't deny that you are one of them, because you, too, are from Galilee.”
71 Then Peter said, “I swear that I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I am not! I do not know the man you are talking about!”
72 Just then a rooster crowed a second time, and Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows two times, you will say three times that you do not know me.” And he broke down and cried.
Gatavošanās nonāvēt Jēzu
(Mt 26:1–5Lk 22:1–2Jņ 11:45–53)1 Līdz Pashas un Neraudzētās maizes svētkiem bija divas dienas. Virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji apspriedās, kā tie Jēzu ar viltu varētu sagūstīt un nonāvēt. 2 “Svētku laikā gan ne,” tie sacīja, “ka neizceļas tautā nemieri.”
Jēzus svaidīšana Bētanijā
(Mt 26:1–13Jņ 12:1–8)3 Un, viņam Bētanijā spitālīgā Sīmaņa namā sēžot, nāca kāda sieviete ar ļoti dārgu un tīru nardu eļļu alabastra trauciņā. Sasitusi trauciņu, tā izlēja eļļu viņam uz galvas. 4 Bet daži sašutuši sarunājās viens ar otru: “Kādēļ tāda lieka izšķērdība? 5 Šo eļļu varēja pārdot dārgāk nekā par trīs simti denārijiem un naudu izdalīt nabagiem.” Un tie bija sašutuši par viņu. 6 Bet Jēzus sacīja: “Lieciet viņu mierā! Ko jūs uzmācaties viņai? Tā labu darbu man ir darījusi. 7 Nabagi vienmēr būs pie jums, un jūs varēsiet tiem darīt labu, kad vien gribēsiet, bet es nebūšu vienmēr pie jums. 8 Viņa ir darījusi, ko spējusi; tā jau iepriekš manu miesu ir svaidījusi apbedīšanai. 9 Patiesi es jums saku: kur vien evaņģēlijs tiks sludināts visā pasaulē, tur arī stāstīs, ko šī sieviete ir darījusi, viņai par piemiņu.”
Jūdas nodevība
(Mt 26:14–16Lk 22:3–6)10 Bet Jūda Iskariots, viens no tiem divpadsmit, aizgāja pie virspriesteriem, lai tiem Jēzu nodotu. 11 Tie, to dzirdēdami, priecājās un solīja viņam sudrabu. Un viņš meklēja izdevīgu brīdi, lai viņu nodotu.
Pashas mielasts ar mācekļiem
(Mt 26:17–25Lk 22:7–14, Lk 21–23Jņ 13:21–30)12 Pirmajā Neraudzētās maizes dienā, kad kāva Pashas jēru, mācekļi viņam sacīja: “Kur tu gribi, lai mēs ejam un sagatavojam tev Pashas mielastu?” 13 Viņš sūtīja divus no saviem mācekļiem un tiem sacīja: “Ejiet uz pilsētu! Jūs sastapsiet cilvēku, kas nes māla krūzi ar ūdeni; ejiet tam līdzi. 14 Kurā namā viņš ieies, tā saimniekam sakiet: Skolotājs jautā: kur ir tā telpa, kur es ar saviem mācekļiem varu ēst Pashas jēru? 15 Un viņš jums ierādīs lielu augšistabu, izklātu un sataisītu; tur mums arī sagatavojiet.” 16 Mācekļi izgāja un nonāca pilsētā, un atrada visu, kā viņš tiem bija sacījis. Un viņi sagatavoja Pashas jēru. 17 Vakaram iestājoties, viņš nāca ar tiem divpadsmit. 18 Kad viņi bija sasēdušies un ēda, Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Patiesi es jums saku: viens no jums, kas ar mani ēd, mani nodos.” 19 Un tie kļuva bēdīgi un cits pēc cita jautāja: “Vai tad es?” 20 Bet viņš tiem sacīja: “Viens no divpadsmit, kas reizē ar mani mērc maizi bļodā. 21 Cilvēka Dēls gan aiziet, kā par viņu ir rakstīts, bet vai! tam cilvēkam, kas nodod Cilvēka Dēlu! Šim cilvēkam būtu bijis labāk nepiedzimt.”
Svētā Vakarēdiena iedibināšana
(Mt 26:26–30Lk 22:15–201Kor 11:23–25)22 Jēzus, viņiem ēdot, ņēma maizi, svētīja to, lauza un deva tiem, sacīdams: “Ņemiet , tā ir mana miesa!” 23 Viņš ņēma biķeri, pateicās un deva to viņiem. Un visi dzēra no tā. 24 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Šīs ir manas jaunās derības asinis, kas tiek izlietas par daudziem. 25 Patiesi es jums saku: es vairs nedzeršu no vīnakoka augļiem līdz tai dienai, kad es no tiem atkal dzeršu Dieva valstībā.” 26 Pateicības dziesmu nodziedājuši, tie devās uz Olīvkalnu.
Jēzus paredz Pētera nodevību
(Mt 26:31–35Lk 22:31–34Jņ 13:36–38)27 Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Jūs visi apgrēkosieties , jo ir rakstīts: es ganu sitīšu, un avis tiks izklīdinātas. 28 Bet pēc tam, kad es augšāmcelšos, es pirms jums noiešu uz Galileju.” 29 Pēteris viņam sacīja: “Ja arī visi apgrēkosies, es gan ne.” 30 Un Jēzus tam sacīja: “Patiesi es tev saku: šodien, šajā naktī, pirms gailis divas reizes dziedās, tu mani trīs reizes noliegsi.” 31 Bet Pēteris sacīja ar vēl lielāku pārliecību: “Pat ja man būtu jāmirst līdz ar tevi, es nekad tevi nenoliegšu!” Un tāpat runāja arī visi pārējie.
Jēzus lūgšana Getzemenē
(Mt 26:36–46Lk 22:39–46)32 Un tie nonāca vietā, ko sauc Getzemene, un viņš sacīja saviem mācekļiem: “Apsēdieties šeit, kamēr es Dievu lūgšu.” 33 Viņš ņēma sev līdzi Pēteri, Jēkabu un Jāni. Un tad viņu pārņēma šausmas un izbailes. 34 “Mana dvēsele ir satriekta līdz nāvei,” viņš tiem sacīja, “palieciet šeit un esiet nomodā!” 35 Un, mazliet pagājis, viņš krita pie zemes un lūdza, lai tā stunda, ja tas iespējams, ietu viņam garām. 36 Un viņš sauca: “Aba , Tēvs, tev viss ir iespējams. Ņem šo biķeri prom no manis! Tomēr nevis kā es gribu, bet kā tu.” 37 Un viņš nāca un atrada tos guļam un sacīja Pēterim: “Sīmani, tu guli? Tu vienu stundu nespēj būt nomodā? 38 Esiet nomodā un lūdziet Dievu, ka nekrītat kārdināšanā! Gars ir apņēmīgs, bet miesa vāja.” 39 Un viņš atkal nogāja un lūdza, sacīdams tos pašus vārdus, 40 un atnācis viņš atrada tos atkal guļam, jo tiem acis lipa ciet, un viņi nezināja, ko viņam atbildēt. 41 Viņš nāca trešo reizi un tiem sacīja: “Vai jūs vēl aizvien guļat?! Diezgan! Tā stunda ir klāt! Redzi, Cilvēka Dēls tiek nodots grēcinieku rokās! 42 Celieties, ejam! Redzi, mans nodevējs ir klāt.”
Jēzus tiek apcietināts
(Mt 26:47–56Lk 22:47–53Jņ 18:3–12)43 Un tūlīt, viņam vēl runājot, nāca Jūda, viens no tiem divpadsmit, un kopā ar viņu nāca virspriesteru un rakstu mācītāju, un vecajo sūtīts ļaužu pūlis ar zobeniem un nūjām. 44 Bet tas, kas viņu nodeva, bija norunājis tiem dot zīmi, sacīdams: “Kuru es noskūpstīšu, tas ir viņš, ņemiet viņu ciet un vediet prom uzraudzīdami.” 45 Un atnācis viņš tūlīt piegāja Jēzum klāt un sacīja: “Rabi!” – un viņu noskūpstīja. 46 Un tie satvēra viņu un apcietināja. 47 Bet viens no tiem, kas viņam stāvēja līdzās, izvilcis zobenu, cirta virspriestera kalpam un nocirta tam ausi. 48 Tad Jēzus vērsās pie tiem: “Kā pret laupītāju jūs esat izgājuši ar zobeniem un nūjām mani gūstīt. 49 Ik dienas es biju pie jums templī mācīdams, un jūs mani neņēmāt ciet. Bet Rakstiem ir jāpiepildās!” 50 Tad visi viņu atstāja un aizbēga. 51 Bet kāds jauneklis, kailumu ar linu drānu vien apjozis, sekoja viņam, un tie mēģināja to sagūstīt. 52 Bet tas, drānu pametis, izbēga no tiem kails.
Jēzus augstā priestera un sinedrija priekšā
(Mt 26:57–68Lk 22:54–56, Lk 63–71Jņ 18:13–14, Jņ 19–24)53 Un tie aizveda Jēzu pie augstā priestera; un tur sapulcējās visi virspriesteri un vecajie, un rakstu mācītāji. 54 Un Pēteris no tālienes viņam sekoja līdz pat augstā priestera pagalmam, kur iegājis apsēdās kopā ar sargiem un sildījās pie uguns. 55 Virspriesteri un viss sinedrijs meklēja liecību pret Jēzu, lai viņu nonāvētu, bet neatrada. 56 Jo daudzi deva nepatiesas liecības pret viņu, bet tās nesaskanēja. 57 Un daži cēlās un nepatiesi liecināja pret viņu, sacīdami: 58 “Mēs esam dzirdējuši viņu sakām: es šo rokām darināto templi nojaukšu un trijās dienās uzcelšu citu, kas nav rokām darināts.” 59 Bet arī šīs viņu liecības nesaskanēja. 60 Tad piecēlās augstais priesteris un, vidū nostājies, jautāja Jēzum: “Tu neko neatbildi uz to, ko viņi liecina pret tevi?” 61 Bet viņš klusēja un neatbildēja neko. Augstais priesteris vēlreiz vērsās pie viņa un jautāja: “Vai tu esi Kristus, Augsti teicamā Dēls?” 62 Jēzus sacīja: “Es esmu. Un jūs redzēsiet Cilvēka Dēlu sēžam pie Visuspēcīgā labās rokas un nākam ar debess padebešiem.” 63 Tad augstais priesteris pārplēsa savas drēbes un teica: “Kam mums vēl liecinieki? 64 Jūs šo zaimošanu dzirdējāt! Kā jums šķiet?” Un tie nosprieda, ka viņš sodāms ar nāvi. 65 Tad daži sāka viņu apspļaudīt un aizklāja viņam seju, un sita viņam, sacīdami: “Pravieto nu! ” Un tempļa kalpotāji ņēmās viņu pļaukāt.
Pēteris noliedz Jēzu
(Mt 26:69–75Lk 22:56–62Jņ 18:15–18, Jņ 25–27)66 Kad Pēteris bija lejā pagalmā, atnāca viena no augstā priestera kalponēm. 67 Redzēdama Pēteri sildāmies pie uguns, tā viņu uzlūkoja un sacīja: “Arī tu biji ar to Jēzu, Nācarieti.” 68 Bet viņš liedzās, sacīdams: “Ne es viņu pazīstu, nedz saprotu, ko tu runā.” Un viņš izgāja priekšpagalmā. 69 Kalpone, viņu atkal ieraudzījusi, sacīja tiem, kas bija līdzās: “Šis ir viens no viņiem.” 70 Bet viņš atkal liedzās. Pēc brīža tie, kas stāvēja blakus, sacīja Pēterim: “Patiešām, tu esi viens no viņiem, jo tu taču esi galilejietis.” 71 Un viņš sāka lādēties un zvērēt: “Es nepazīstu to cilvēku, par kuru jūs runājat.” 72 Un tūlīt gailis iedziedājās otrreiz; un Pēteris atcerējās vārdus, ko Jēzus bija sacījis: “Pirms gailis divas reizes dziedās, tu mani trīs reizes noliegsi.” Un viņš sāka raudāt.
