εγειρεσθε αγωμεν ιδου ηγγικεν ο παραδιδους με

KJVAnd while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

ο δε παραδιδους αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις σημειον λεγων ον αν φιλησω αυτος εστιν κρατησατε αυτον

KJVAnd forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

KJVAnd, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out {his} hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

τοτε λεγει αυτω ο ιησους αποστρεψον σου την μαχαιραν εις τον τοπον αυτης παντες γαρ οι λαβοντες μαχαιραν εν μαχαιρα απολουνται

KJVThinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

53

η δοκεις οτι ου δυναμαι αρτι παρακαλεσαι τον πατερα μου και παραστησει μοι πλειους η δωδεκα λεγεωνας αγγελων

KJVBut how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

54

πως ουν πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι οτι ουτως δει γενεσθαι

KJVIn that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

55

εν εκεινη τη ωρα ειπεν ο ιησους τοις οχλοις ως επι ληστην εξηλθετε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων συλλαβειν με καθ ημεραν προς υμας εκαθεζομην διδασκων εν τω ιερω και ουκ εκρατησατε με

KJVBut all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

In that hour Jesus 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.

56

τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων τοτε οι μαθηται παντες αφεντες αυτον εφυγον

KJVAnd they that had laid hold on Jesus led {him} away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

57

οι δε κρατησαντες τον ιησουν απηγαγον προς καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα οπου οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι συνηχθησαν

KJVBut Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

58

ο δε πετρος ηκολουθει αυτω απο μακροθεν εως της αυλης του αρχιερεως και εισελθων εσω εκαθητο μετα των υπηρετων ιδειν το τελος

KJVNow the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

59

οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι και το συνεδριον ολον εζητουν ψευδομαρτυριαν κατα του ιησου οπως αυτον θανατωσωσιν

KJVBut found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, {yet} found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

60

και ουχ ευρον και πολλων ψευδομαρτυρων προσελθοντων ουχ ευρον (26:61) υστερον δε προσελθοντες δυο ψευδομαρτυρες

KJVAnd said, This {fellow} said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

61

ειπον ουτος εφη δυναμαι καταλυσαι τον ναον του θεου και δια τριων ημερων οικοδομησαι αυτον

KJVAnd the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what {is it which} these witness against thee?

and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

62

και αναστας ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω ουδεν αποκρινη τι ουτοι σου καταμαρτυρουσιν

KJVBut Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

63

ο δε ιησους εσιωπα και αποκριθεις ο αρχιερευς ειπεν αυτω εξορκιζω σε κατα του θεου του ζωντος ινα ημιν ειπης ει συ ει ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου

KJVJesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

64

λεγει αυτω ο ιησους συ ειπας πλην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον υιον του ανθρωπου καθημενον εκ δεξιων της δυναμεως και ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου

KJVThen the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

65

τοτε ο αρχιερευς διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου λεγων οτι εβλασφημησεν τι ετι χρειαν εχομεν μαρτυρων ιδε νυν ηκουσατε την βλασφημιαν αυτου

KJVWhat think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

66

τι υμιν δοκει οι δε αποκριθεντες ειπον ενοχος θανατου εστιν

KJVThen did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote {him} with the palms of their hands, {the palms...: or, rods}

What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

67

τοτε ενεπτυσαν εις το προσωπον αυτου και εκολαφισαν αυτον οι δε ερραπισαν

KJVSaying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

68

λεγοντες προφητευσον ημιν χριστε τις εστιν ο παισας σε

KJVNow Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

69

ο δε πετρος εξω εκαθητο εν τη αυλη και προσηλθεν αυτω μια παιδισκη λεγουσα και συ ησθα μετα ιησου του γαλιλαιου

KJVBut he denied before {them} all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

70

ο δε ηρνησατο εμπροσθεν παντων λεγων ουκ οιδα τι λεγεις

KJVAnd when he was gone out into the porch, another {maid} saw him, and said unto them that were there, This {fellow} was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

71

εξελθοντα δε αυτον εις τον πυλωνα ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει τοις εκει και ουτος ην μετα ιησου του ναζωραιου

KJVAnd again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72

και παλιν ηρνησατο μεθ ορκου οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον

KJVAnd after a while came unto {him} they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art {one} of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”

73

μετα μικρον δε προσελθοντες οι εστωτες ειπον τω πετρω αληθως και συ εξ αυτων ει και γαρ η λαλια σου δηλον σε ποιει

KJVThen began he to curse and to swear, {saying}, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

74

τοτε ηρξατο καταναθεματιζειν και ομνυειν οτι ουκ οιδα τον ανθρωπον και ευθεως αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν

KJVAnd Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

75

και εμνησθη ο πετρος του ρηματος του ιησου ειρηκοτος αυτω οτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνησαι τρις απαρνηση με και εξελθων εξω εκλαυσεν πικρως

Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.
