1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day , lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 ¶ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. 4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 ¶ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11 And when they heard it , they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 ¶ And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22 ¶ And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it , and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 ¶ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. 32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. 40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. 41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 ¶ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 ¶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 50 And they all forsook him, and fled. 51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him: 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 ¶ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59 But neither so did their witness agree together. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66 ¶ And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto . 71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying , I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
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.
