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.
A Plot To Kill Jesus
(Matthew 26.1-5Luke 22.1Luke 2John 11.45-53)1 It was now two days before Passover and the Festival of Thin Bread. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were planning how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. 2 They were saying, “We must not do it during the festival, because the people will riot.”
At Bethany
(Matthew 26.6-13John 12.1-8)3 Jesus was eating in Bethany at the home of Simon, who once had leprosy, when a woman came in with a very expensive bottle of sweet-smelling perfume. After breaking it open, she poured the perfume on Jesus' head. 4 This made some of the guests angry, and they complained, “Why such a waste? 5 We could have sold this perfume for more than 300 silver coins and given the money to the poor!” So they started saying cruel things to the woman.
6 But Jesus said:
Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me. 7 You will always have the poor with you. And whenever you want to, you can give to them. But you won't always have me here with you. 8 She has done all she could by pouring perfume on my body to prepare it for burial. 9 You may be sure that wherever the good news is told all over the world, people will remember what she has done. And they will tell others.
Judas and the Chief Priests
(Matthew 26.14-16Luke 22.3-6)10 Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples. He went to the chief priests and offered to help them arrest Jesus. 11 They were glad to hear this, and they promised to pay him. So Judas started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus.
Jesus Eats with His Disciples
(Matthew 26.17-25Luke 22.7-14Luke 21-23John 13.21-30)12 It was the first day of the Festival of Thin Bread, and the Passover lambs were being killed. Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal?”
13 Jesus said to two of the disciples, “Go into the city, where you will meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him, 14 and when he goes into a house, say to the owner, ‘Our teacher wants to know if you have a room where he can eat the Passover meal with his disciples.’ 15 The owner will take you upstairs and show you a large room furnished and ready for you to use. Prepare the meal there.”
16 The two disciples went into the city and found everything just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.
17-18 While Jesus and the twelve disciples were eating together that evening, he said, “The one who will betray me is now eating with me.”
19 This made the disciples sad, and one after another they said to Jesus, “You surely don't mean me!”
20 He answered, “It is one of you twelve men who is eating from this dish with me. 21 The Son of Man will die, just as the Scriptures say. But it is going to be terrible for the one who betrays me. That man would be better off if he had never been born.”
The Lord's Supper
(Matthew 26.26-30Luke 22.14-231 Corinthians 11.23-25)22 During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this. It is my body.”
23 Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He gave it to his disciples, and they all drank some. 24 Then he said, “This is my blood, which is poured out for many people, and with it God makes his agreement. 25 From now on I will not drink any wine, until I drink new wine in God's kingdom.” 26 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Peter's Promise
(Matthew 26.31-35Luke 22.31-34John 13.36-38)27 Jesus said to his disciples, “All of you will reject me, as the Scriptures say,
‘I will strike down
the shepherd,
and the sheep
will be scattered.’
28 But after I am raised to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
29 Peter spoke up, “Even if all the others reject you, I never will!”
30 Jesus replied, “This very night before a rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
31 But Peter was so sure of himself that he said, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never say I don't know you!”
All the others said the same thing.
Jesus Prays
(Matthew 26.36-46Luke 22.39-46)32 Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he told them, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 Jesus took along Peter, James, and John. He was sad and troubled and 34 told them, “I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me.”
35-36 Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt down on the ground and prayed, “Father, if it is possible, don't let this happen to me! Father, you can do anything. Don't make me suffer by drinking from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want.”
37 When Jesus came back and found the disciples sleeping, he said to Simon Peter, “Are you asleep? Can't you stay awake for just one hour? 38 Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”
39 Jesus went back and prayed the same prayer. 40 But when he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to say.
41 When Jesus returned to the disciples the third time, he said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough of this! The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. 42 Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here.”
Jesus Is Arrested
(Matthew 26.47-56Luke 22.47-53John 18.3-12)43 Jesus was still speaking, when Judas the betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a mob of men armed with swords and clubs were with him. They had been sent by the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses. 44 Judas had told them ahead of time, “Arrest the man I greet with a kiss. Tie him up tight and lead him away.”
45 Judas walked right up to Jesus and said, “Teacher!” Then Judas kissed him, 46 and the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
47 Someone standing there pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 Jesus said to the mob, “Why do you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like a criminal? 49 Day after day I was with you and taught in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. But what the Scriptures say must come true.”
50 All of Jesus' disciples ran off and left him. 51 One of them was a young man who was wearing only a linen cloth. And when the men grabbed him, 52 he left the cloth behind and ran away naked.
Jesus Is Questioned by the Council
(Matthew 26.57-68Luke 22.54Luke 55Luke 63-71John 18.13John 14John 19-24)53 Jesus was led off to the high priest. Then the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses all met together. 54 Peter had followed at a distance, and when he reached the courtyard of the high priest's house, he sat down with the guards to warm himself beside a fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole council tried to find someone to accuse Jesus of a crime, so they could put him to death. But they could not find anyone to accuse him. 56 Many people did tell lies against Jesus, but they did not agree on what they said. 57 Finally, some men stood up and lied about him. They said, 58 “We heard him say he would tear down this temple that we built. He also claimed that in three days he would build another one without any help.” 59 But even then they did not agree on what they said.
60 The high priest stood up in the council and asked Jesus, “Why don't you say something in your own defense? Don't you hear the charges they are making against you?” 61 But Jesus kept quiet and did not say a word. The high priest asked him another question, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the glorious God?”
62 “Yes, I am!” Jesus answered.
“Soon you will see
the Son of Man
sitting at the right side
of God All-Powerful,
and coming with the clouds
of heaven.”
63 At once the high priest ripped his robe apart and shouted, “Why do we need more witnesses? 64 You heard him claim to be God! What is your decision?” They all agreed he should be put to death.
65 Some of the people started spitting on Jesus. They blindfolded him, hit him with their fists, and said, “Tell us who hit you!” Then the guards took charge of Jesus and beat him.
Peter Says He Doesn't Know Jesus
(Matthew 26.69-75Luke 22.56-62John 18.15-18John 25-27)66 While Peter was still in the courtyard, a servant girl of the high priest came up 67 and saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She stared at him and said, “You were with Jesus from Nazareth!”
68 Peter replied, “That isn't true! I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have any idea what you mean.” He went out to the gate, and a rooster crowed.
69 The servant girl saw Peter again and said to the people standing there, “This man is one of them!”
70 “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
A little while later some of the people said to Peter, “You certainly are one of them. You're a Galilean!”
71 This time Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't even know the man you're talking about!”
72 At once the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered that Jesus had told him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.” So Peter started crying.
