The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 26
{26:1} It happened, when Yeshua had finished all these words, that
he said to his [1>]talmidim[<1], {26:2} "You know that after two days
the Pesach is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be
crucified."
{26:3} Then the chief [2>]Kohanim[<2], the [3>]Sofrim[<3], and the
Zakenim of the people were gathered together in the court of the
[4>]Kohen Gadol[<4], who was called Kayafa. {26:4} They took counsel
together that they might take Yeshua by deceit, and kill him. {26:5}
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the
people."
{26:6} Now when Yeshua was in Beit-Anyah, in the house of Shim`on
the leper, {26:7} a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very
expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the
table. {26:8} But when his [5>]talmidim[<5] saw this, they were
indignant, saying, "Why this waste? {26:9} For this ointment might
have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
{26:10} But Yeshua, knowing this, said to them, "Why do you trouble
the woman? Because she has done a good work for me. {26:11} For you
always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me. {26:12}
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for
burial. {26:13} Most assuredly I tell you, wherever this Good News is
preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be
spoken of as a memorial of her."
{26:14} Then one of the twelve, who was called Yehudah from K'riot,
went to the chief [6>]Kohanim[<6], {26:15} and said, "What are you
willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed
out for him thirty pieces of silver. {26:16} From that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
{26:17} Now on the first day of [7>]matzah[<7], the [8>]talmidim[<8]
came to Yeshua, saying to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for
you to eat the Pesach?"
{26:18} He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell
him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand. I will keep the Pesach at
your house with my [9>]talmidim[<9]."'"
{26:19} The [10>]talmidim[<10] did as Yeshua commanded them, and
they prepared the Pesach. {26:20} Now when evening had come, he was
reclining at the table with the twelve [11>]talmidim[<11]. {26:21} As
they were eating, he said, "Most assuredly I tell you that one of you
will betray me."
{26:22} They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him,
"It isn't me, is it, Lord?"
{26:23} He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish,
the same will betray me. {26:24} The Son of Man goes, even as it is
written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is
betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
{26:25} Yehudah, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me, is it,
Rabbi?"
He said to him, "You said it."
{26:26} As they were eating, Yeshua took bread, gave thanks for it,
and broke it. He gave to the [12>]talmidim[<12], and said, "Take, eat;
this is my body." {26:27} He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to
them, saying, "All of you drink it, {26:28} for this is my blood of
the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of
sins. {26:29} But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of
the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in
my Father's kingdom." {26:30} When they had sung a hymn, they went out
to the Mount of Olives.
{26:31} Then Yeshua said to them, "All of you will be made to
stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' {26:32} But
after I am raised up, I will go before you into the Galil."
{26:33} But Rock answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble
because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
{26:34} Yeshua said to him, "Most assuredly I tell you that tonight,
before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."
{26:35} Rock said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not
deny you." All of the [13>]talmidim[<13] also said likewise.
{26:36} Then Yeshua came with them to a place called Gat-Shemanim,
and said to his [14>]talmidim[<14], "Sit here, while I go there and
pray." {26:37} He took with him Rock and the two sons of Zavdai, and
began to be sorrowful and severely troubled. {26:38} Then he said to
them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and
watch with me."
{26:39} He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed,
saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me;
nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
{26:40} He came to the [15>]talmidim[<15], and found them sleeping,
and said to Rock, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?
{26:41} Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
{26:42} Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My
Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your
desire be done." {26:43} He came again and found them sleeping, for
their eyes were heavy. {26:44} He left them again, went away, and
prayed a third time, saying the same words. {26:45} Then he came to
his [16>]talmidim[<16], and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your
rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into
the hands of sinners. {26:46} Arise, let's be going. Behold, he who
betrays me is at hand."
{26:47} While he was still speaking, behold, Yehudah, one of the
twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs,
from the chief [17>]Kohen[<17] and Zakenim of the people. {26:48} Now
he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is
the one. Seize him." {26:49} Immediately he came to Yeshua, and said,
"Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
{26:50} Yeshua said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they
came and laid hands on Yeshua, and took him. {26:51} Behold, one of
those who were with Yeshua stretched out his hand, and drew his sword,
and struck the servant of the [18>]Kohen Gadol[<18], and struck off
his ear. {26:52} Then Yeshua said to him, "Put your sword back into
its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
{26:53} Or do you think that I couldn't ask my Father, and he would
even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? {26:54} How then
would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
{26:55} In that hour Yeshua said to the multitudes, "Have you come
out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily
in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. {26:56} But all this
has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled."
Then all the [19>]talmidim[<19] left him, and fled. {26:57} Those
who had taken Yeshua led him away to Kayafa the [20>]Kohen Gadol[<20],
where the [21>]Sofrim[<21] and the Zakenim were gathered together.
{26:58} But Rock followed him from a distance, to the court of the
[22>]Kohen Gadol[<22], and entered in and sat with the officers, to
see the end. {26:59} Now the chief [23>]Kohanim[<23], the Zakenim, and
the whole council sought false testimony against Yeshua, that they
might put him to death; {26:60} and they found none. Even though many
false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false
witnesses came forward, {26:61} and said, "This man said, 'I am able
to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
{26:62} The [24>]Kohen Gadol[<24] stood up, and said to him, "Have
you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?" {26:63}
But Yeshua held his shalom. The [25>]Kohen Gadol[<25] answered him, "I
adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the
Messiah, the Son of God."
{26:64} Yeshua said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell
you, henceforth you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
{26:65} Then the [26>]Kohen Gadol[<26] tore his clothing, saying,
"He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold,
now you have heard his blasphemy. {26:66} What do you think?"
They answered, "He is worthy of death!" {26:67} Then they spit in
his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him, {26:68}
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?"
{26:69} Now Rock was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came
to him, saying, "You were also with Yeshua, from the Galil!"
{26:70} But he denied it before them all, saying, "I don't know what
you are talking about."
{26:71} When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him,
and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Yeshua of
Natzeret."
{26:72} Again he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man."
{26:73} After a little while those who stood by came and said to
Rock, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you
known."
{26:74} Then he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!"
Immediately the cock crowed. {26:75} Rock remembered the word which
Yeshua had said to him, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three
times." He went out and wept bitterly.
