The Plot against Jesus
(Mark 14.1Mark 2Luke 22.1Luke 2John 11.45-53)1 When Jesus had finished teaching all these things, he said to his disciples, 2 “In two days, as you know, it will be the Passover Festival, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders met together in the palace of Caiaphas, the High Priest, 4 and made plans to arrest Jesus secretly and put him to death. 5 “We must not do it during the festival,” they said, “or the people will riot.”
Jesus Is Anointed at Bethany
(Mark 14.3-9John 12.1-8)6 Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a dreaded skin disease. 7 While Jesus was eating, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar filled with an expensive perfume, which she poured on his head. 8 The disciples saw this and became angry. “Why all this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold for a large amount and the money given to the poor!”
10 Jesus knew what they were saying, and so he said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? It is a fine and beautiful thing that she has done for me. 11 You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me. 12 What she did was to pour this perfume on my body to get me ready for burial. 13 Now, I assure you that wherever this gospel is preached all over the world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
(Mark 14.10Mark 11Luke 22.3-6)14 Then one of the twelve disciples—the one named Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What will you give me if I betray Jesus to you?” They counted out thirty silver coins and gave them to him. 16 From then on Judas was looking for a good chance to hand Jesus over to them.
Jesus Eats the Passover Meal with His Disciples
(Mark 14.12-21Luke 22.7-13Luke 21-23John 13.21-30)17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to get the Passover meal ready for you?”
18 “Go to a certain man in the city,” he said to them, “and tell him: ‘The Teacher says, My hour has come; my disciples and I will celebrate the Passover at your house.’”
19 The disciples did as Jesus had told them and prepared the Passover meal.
20 When it was evening, Jesus and the twelve disciples sat down to eat. 21 During the meal Jesus said, “I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 The disciples were very upset and began to ask him, one after the other, “Surely, Lord, you don't mean me?”
23 Jesus answered, “One who dips his bread in the dish with me will betray me. 24 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!”
25 Judas, the traitor, spoke up. “Surely, Teacher, you don't mean me?” he asked.
Jesus answered, “So you say.”
The Lord's Supper
(Mark 14.22-26Luke 22.14-201 Corinthians 11.23-25)26 While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. “Take and eat it,” he said; “this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and gave it to them. “Drink it, all of you,” he said; 28 “this is my blood, which seals God's covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.”
30 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
(Mark 14.27-31Luke 22.31-34John 13.36-38)31 Then Jesus said to them, “This very night all of you will run away and leave me, for the scripture says, ‘God will kill the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”
33 Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, “I will never leave you, even though all the rest do!”
34 Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you that before the rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me.”
35 Peter answered, “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
(Mark 14.32-42Luke 22.39-46)36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee. Grief and anguish came over him, 38 and he said to them, “The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
39 He went a little farther on, threw himself face downward on the ground, and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering from me! Yet not what I want, but what you want.”
40 Then he returned to the three disciples and found them asleep; and he said to Peter, “How is it that you three were not able to keep watch with me for even one hour? 41 Keep watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Once more Jesus went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup of suffering cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 He returned once more and found the disciples asleep; they could not keep their eyes open.
44 Again Jesus left them, went away, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look! The hour has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to the power of sinners. 46 Get up, let us go. Look, here is the man who is betraying me!”
The Arrest of Jesus
(Mark 14.43-50Luke 22.47-53John 18.3-12)47 Jesus was still speaking when Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs and sent by the chief priests and the elders. 48 The traitor had given the crowd a signal: “The man I kiss is the one you want. Arrest him!”
49 Judas went straight to Jesus and said, “Peace be with you, Teacher,” and kissed him.
50 Jesus answered, “Be quick about it, friend!”
Then they came up, arrested Jesus, and held him tight. 51 One of those who were with Jesus drew his sword and struck at the High Priest's slave, cutting off his ear. 52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “All who take the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don't you know that I could call on my Father for help, and at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels? 54 But in that case, how could the Scriptures come true which say that this is what must happen?”
55 Then Jesus spoke to the crowd, “Did you have to come with swords and clubs to capture me, as though I were an outlaw? Every day I sat down and taught in the Temple, and you did not arrest me. 56 But all this has happened in order to make come true what the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.”
Then all the disciples left him and ran away.
Jesus before the Council
(Mark 14.53-65Luke 22.54Luke 55Luke 63-71John 18.13John 14John 19-24)57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to the house of Caiaphas, the High Priest, where the teachers of the Law and the elders had gathered together. 58 Peter followed from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the High Priest's house. He went into the courtyard and sat down with the guards to see how it would all come out. 59 The chief priests and the whole Council tried to find some false evidence against Jesus to put him to death; 60 but they could not find any, even though many people came forward and told lies about him. Finally two men stepped up 61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to tear down God's Temple and three days later build it back up.’”
62 The High Priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Have you no answer to give to this accusation against you?” 63 But Jesus kept quiet. Again the High Priest spoke to him, “In the name of the living God I now put you under oath: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus answered him, “So you say. But I tell all of you: from this time on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven!”
65 At this the High Priest tore his clothes and said, “Blasphemy! We don't need any more witnesses! You have just heard his blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”
They answered, “He is guilty and must die.”
67 Then they spat in his face and beat him; and those who slapped him 68 said, “Prophesy for us, Messiah! Guess who hit you!”
Peter Denies Jesus
(Mark 14.66-72Luke 22.56-62John 18.15-18John 25-27)69 Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard when one of the High Priest's servant women came to him and said, “You, too, were with Jesus of Galilee.”
70 But he denied it in front of them all. “I don't know what you are talking about,” he answered, 71 and went on out to the entrance of the courtyard. Another servant woman saw him and said to the men there, “He was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Again Peter denied it and answered, “I swear that I don't know that man!”
73 After a little while the men standing there came to Peter. “Of course you are one of them,” they said. “After all, the way you speak gives you away!”
74 Then Peter said, “I swear that I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I am not! I do not know that man!”
Just then a rooster crowed, 75 and Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me.” He went out and wept bitterly.
1 Un notika, kad Jēzus bija pabeidzis visas šīs runas, tad Viņš sacīja Saviem mācekļiem: 2 "Jūs zināt, ka pēc divām dienām būs Pashā, un Cilvēka Dēls tiks nodots, lai Viņu krustā sistu." 3 Tad sapulcējās augstie priesteri un ļaužu vecaji augstā priestera Kajafas pilī. 4 Un tie apspriedās, kā Jēzu ar viltu saņemt un nokaut. 5 Bet tie sacīja: "Tikai ne svētkos, lai ļaudīs neceltos nemiers." 6 Bet, kad Jēzus bija Betānijā spitālīgā Sīmaņa namā, 7 viena sieva piegāja pie Viņa, tai bija akmens trauciņš ar dārgu svaidāmo eļļu, kuru tā izlēja Viņam uz galvu, Viņam sēžot pie galda. 8 Kad mācekļi to redzēja, tie apskaitās un sacīja: "Kamdēļ šī izšķērdība? 9 To varēja dārgi pārdot un naudu izdalīt nabagiem." 10 Bet Jēzus, to nomanījis, sacīja tiem: "Kam jūs apgrūtināt šo sievu? Viņa pie Manis ir padarījusi labu darbu. 11 Jo nabagi ir arvien pie jums, bet Es neesmu arvien. 12 Jo, izliedama šo eļļu uz Manu miesu, viņa gribējusi Mani kapam svaidīt. 13 Patiesi Es jums saku: kur vien visā pasaulē sludinās šo evaņģēliju, tur arī sacīs viņai par piemiņu, ko tā ir darījusi." 14 Tad viens no divpadsmit, saukts Jūda Iskariots, nogāja pie augstajiem priesteriem 15 un sacīja: "Ko jūs man dosit, es jums Viņu nodošu?" Un viņi iedeva tam trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus. 16 Un no tā laika tas meklēja izdevīgu brīdi, lai Viņu nodotu. 17 Bet pirmajā Neraudzētās maizes dienā mācekļi nāca pie Jēzus un sacīja Viņam: "Kur Tu gribi, lai mēs Tev sataisām ēst Pashā jēru?" 18 Bet Viņš sacīja: "Noeita pilsētā pie kāda un sakait tam: Mācītājs saka: Mans laiks ir tuvu klāt, pie tevis Es turēšu Pashā ar Saviem mācekļiem." 19 Un mācekļi darīja tā, kā Jēzus bija tiem pavēlējis, un viņi sataisīja Pashā jēru. 20 Un, kad vakars metās, Viņš apsēdās ar divpadsmit mācekļiem, 21 un, tiem ēdot, Viņš sacīja: "Patiesi Es jums saku: viens no jums Mani nodos." 22 Un tie ļoti noskuma un sāka cits pēc cita Viņam sacīt: "Taču ne es, Kungs?" 23 Bet Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: "Kas ar Mani mērc savu roku bļodā, tas Mani nodos. 24 Cilvēka Dēls gan aiziet, kā par Viņu rakstīts, bet vai tam cilvēkam, kas nodod Cilvēka Dēlu! Tam būtu labāk, ka nemaz nebūtu dzimis." 25 Bet Jūda, kas Viņu nodeva, atbildēja un sacīja: "Taču ne es, rabi?" Viņš saka uz to: "Tu to teici." 26 Bet, tiem vēl ēdot, Jēzus ņēma maizi, svētīja, pārlauza un deva to Saviem mācekļiem un sacīja: "Ņemiet, ēdiet, tā ir Mana miesa." 27 Un Viņš ņēma biķeri, pateicās un deva to tiem, un sacīja: "Dzeriet visi no tā. 28 Jo tās ir Manas jaunās derības asinis, kas par daudziem tiek izlietas grēku piedošanai. 29 Bet Es jums saku: Es no šī laika vairs nedzeršu no šiem vīnakoka augļiem līdz tai dienai, kad Es to ar jums no jauna dzeršu Sava Tēva valstībā." 30 Un, pateicības dziesmu dziedājuši, tie aizgāja uz Eļļas kalnu. 31 Tad Jēzus saka tiem: "Jūs visi šinī naktī pret Mani apgrēcināsities, jo stāv rakstīts: Es sitīšu ganu, un ganāmā pulka avis izklīdīs.- 32 Bet pēc Manas augšāmcelšanās Es jums pa priekšu aiziešu uz Galileju." 33 Bet Pēteris atbildēja un uz to sacīja: "Kad visi pret Tevi apgrēcinātos, es nemūžam neapgrēcināšos." 34 Jēzus sacīja tam: "Patiesi Es tev saku: šinī naktī, pirms gailis dziedās, tu Mani trīs reizes aizliegsi." 35 Pēteris saka Viņam: "Jebšu man būtu jāmirst ar Tevi, taču nemūžam Tevi neaizliegšu." Tāpat arī visi citi mācekļi sacīja. 36 Tad Jēzus aiziet ar Saviem mācekļiem uz kādu vietu ar nosaukumu Ģetzemane un saka mācekļiem: "Nosēdieties šeit, Es paiešu tālāk un pielūgšu Dievu." 37 Un Viņš ņēma Sev līdzi Pēteri un abus Cebedeja dēlus un sāka skumt un baiļoties. 38 Tad Viņš saka tiem: "Mana dvēsele ir noskumusi līdz nāvei: palieciet šeit un esiet ar Mani nomodā." 39 Un, nedaudz pagājis, Viņš krita uz Sava vaiga pie zemes, lūdza Dievu un sacīja: "Mans Tēvs, ja tas var būt, tad lai šis biķeris iet Man garām, tomēr ne kā Es gribu, bet kā Tu gribi." 40 Un Viņš nāk pie mācekļiem un atrod tos guļam un saka uz Pēteri: "Tātad jūs nespējat nevienu pašu stundu būt ar Mani nomodā? 41 Esiet modrīgi un lūdziet Dievu, ka jūs neiekrītat kārdināšanā, gars ir gan labprātīgs, bet miesa ir vāja." 42 Viņš atkal aizgāja otru reizi un lūdza Dievu, sacīdams: "Mans Tēvs, ja šis biķeris nevar Man iet garām, lai nebūtu tas jādzer, tad lai notiek Tavs prāts." 43 Un Viņš nāk un atrod tos atkal guļam, jo viņu acis bija pilnas miega. 44 Un Viņš tos atstāja un atkal nogāja un lūdza Dievu trešo reizi, tos pašus vārdus sacīdams. 45 Tad Viņš nāk pie Saviem mācekļiem un saka uz tiem: "Jūs arvien vēl guļat un dusat! Redzi, tā stunda ir klāt, Cilvēka Dēls tiek nodots grēcinieku rokās. 46 Celieties, ejam! Redzi, kas Mani nodod, ir klāt." 47 Un, Viņam vēl runājot, redzi, nāca Jūda, viens no divpadsmit, un viņam līdzi liels ļaužu pulks no augstajiem priesteriem un tautas vecajiem ar zobeniem un nūjām. 48 Bet nodevējs bija tiem devis tādu zīmi un sacījis: "Kuru es skūpstīšu, tas ir Tas, To gūstait." 49 Un tūdaļ viņš piegāja pie Jēzus un sacīja: "Esi sveicināts, rabi," - un skūpstīja Viņu. 50 Bet Jēzus tam sacīja: "Draugs, kāpēc tu esi šeit?" Tad tie piegāja pie Jēzus, pielika Tam rokas un To saņēma. 51 Un redzi, viens no tiem, kas bija pie Jēzus, izstiepa roku, izvilka zobenu, cirta augstā priestera kalpam un nocirta viņam ausi. 52 Tad Jēzus saka tam: "Bāz savu zobenu viņa vietā, jo visi, kas ņem zobenu, no zobena aizies bojā. 53 Jeb vai tu domā, ka Es nevarētu lūgt Savu Tēvu un Viņš Man nesūtītu tūlīt vairāk nekā divpadsmit leģionu eņģeļu? 54 Bet kā tad raksti lai piepildītos? Jo tam tā būs notikt." 55 Tanī pašā stundā Jēzus sacīja uz ļaužu pulku: "Kā pret slepkavu jūs esat izgājuši ar zobeniem un nūjām Mani gūstīt. Ik dienas Es pie jums sēdēju Templī mācīdams, un jūs Mani neesat aiztikuši. 56 Bet tas viss noticis, lai praviešu raksti piepildītos." Tad visi mācekļi atstāja Viņu un bēga. 57 Bet tie Jēzu saņēma un aizveda pie augstā priestera Kajafas, kur rakstu mācītāji un vecaji bija sapulcējušies. 58 Bet Pēteris Viņam sekoja no tālienes līdz augstā priestera pilij un, tur iegājis, apsēdās pie sulaiņiem noskatīties, kā viss beigsies. 59 Bet augstie priesteri, vecaji un visa augstā tiesa meklēja viltus liecību pret Jēzu, lai To varētu nokaut, 60 un tomēr neatrada, jebšu uzstājās daudz viltus liecinieku; beidzot divi nāca priekšā un sacīja: 61 "Viņš ir teicis: Es varu noplēst Dieva Templi un to atkal trijās dienās uzcelt." 62 Un augstais priesteris piecēlās un sacīja uz Viņu: "Vai Tu neatbildi nekā uz to, ko tie liecina pret Tevi?" 63 Bet Jēzus cieta klusu. Un augstais priesteris sacīja Tam: "Pie dzīvā Dieva es Tevi zvērinu, saki mums: vai Tu esi Kristus, Dieva Dēls?" 64 Jēzus tam saka: "Tu to teici. Bet Es jums saku: no šī laika jūs redzēsit Cilvēka Dēlu sēžam pie Visuspēcīgā labās rokas un nākam uz debess padebešiem." 65 Tad augstais priesteris saplēsa savas drēbes un sacīja: "Viņš ir Dievu zaimojis. Kam mums vēl liecinieku vajag? Redzi, tagad jūs paši Viņa Dieva zaimošanu dzirdējāt. 66 Kā jums šķiet?" Bet tie atbildēja: "Viņš ir nāvi pelnījis." 67 Tad tie Viņam spļāva vaigā un sita ar dūrēm; bet citi Viņu pļaukāja 68 un sacīja: "Pravieto mums, Kristu, kurš Tevi sita?" 69 Bet Pēteris sēdēja priekšnamā. Un pie viņa pienāca kalpone un sacīja: "Tu arīdzan biji ar Jēzu Galilieti." 70 Bet viņš liedzās visu priekšā, sacīdams: "Es nesaprotu, ko tu runā." 71 Un, kad viņš bija izgājis vārtu priekšā, kāda cita, ieraudzījusi viņu, saka tiem, kas tur bija: "Šis arīdzan bija ar Jēzu Nacarieti." 72 Un viņš atkal liedzās, zvērēdams: "Es to Cilvēku nepazīstu." 73 Un pēc maza brīža tie, kas tur stāvēja, piegāja pie Pētera un sacīja uz to: "Patiesi, arī tu esi viens no tiem, jo tava valoda jau nodod tevi." 74 Tad viņš sāka lādēties un dievoties: "Es to Cilvēku nepazīstu." Un tūdaļ gailis dziedāja. 75 Un Pēteris atcerējās Jēzus vārdus, ko Viņš tam bija sacījis: "Pirms gailis dziedās, tu Mani trīs reizes aizliegsi." Un viņš izgāja ārā un gauži raudāja.
