English Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.1The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching.
2And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.2The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction.
3Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.3Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples,
4He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.4and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.
5And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.5They were delighted, and they promised to give him money.
6So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.6So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around. The Last Supper
7Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.7Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.
8So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.”8Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
9They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?”9“Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.
10He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters10He replied, “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters,
11and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’11 say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’
12And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.”12 He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”
13And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.13They went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
14And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.14When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.
15And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.15Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins.
16For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”16 For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.17Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”18 For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
19And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”19He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.20After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.21 “But here at this table, sitting among us as a friend, is the man who will betray me.
22For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”22 For it has been determined that the Son of Man must die. But what sorrow awaits the one who betrays him.”
23And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.23The disciples began to ask each other which of them would ever do such a thing.
24A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.24Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them.
25And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.25Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’
26But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.26 But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.
27For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.27 Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who serves.
28“You are those who have stayed with me in my trials,28 “You have stayed with me in my time of trial.
29and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,29 And just as my Father has granted me a Kingdom, I now grant you the right
30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.30 to eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
32but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”32 But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”
33Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”33Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.”
34Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”34But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
35And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”35Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied.
36He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.36 “But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!
37For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.”37 For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.”
38And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”38“Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.” “That’s enough,” he said. Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.39Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.
40And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”40There he told them, “Pray that you will not give in to temptation.”
41And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,41He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,
42saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.43Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him.
44And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.44He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.
45And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,45At last he stood up again and returned to the disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted from grief.
46and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.” Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
47While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,47But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss.
48but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”48But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”49When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!”
50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.50And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.
51But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.51But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?52Then Jesus spoke to the leading priests, the captains of the Temple guard, and the elders who had come for him. “Am I some dangerous revolutionary,” he asked, “that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?
53When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”53 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there every day. But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.” Peter Denies Jesus
54Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house, and Peter was following at a distance.54So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance.
55And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.55The guards lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter joined them there.
56Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.”56A servant girl noticed him in the firelight and began staring at him. Finally she said, “This man was one of Jesus’ followers!”
57But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”57But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!”
58And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”58After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!” “No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.
59And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.”59About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.”
60But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”61At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
62And he went out and wept bitterly.62And Peter left the courtyard, weeping bitterly.
63Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him.63The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him.
64They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”64They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy to us! Who hit you that time?”
65And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.65And they hurled all sorts of terrible insults at him. Jesus before the Council
66When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said,66At daybreak all the elders of the people assembled, including the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. Jesus was led before this high council,
67“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe,67and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?” But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me.
68and if I ask you, you will not answer.68 And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer.
69But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated in the place of power at God’s right hand. ”
70So they all said, “Are you the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.”70They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?” And he replied, “You say that I am.”
71Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”71“Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
