¹ Επλησιαζε δε η εορτη των αζυμων, λεγομενη Πασχα.

² Και εζητουν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις το πως να θανατωσωσιν αυτον διοτι φοβουντο τον λαον.

³ Εισηλθε δε ο Σατανας εις τον Ιουδαν τον επονομαζομενον Ισκαριωτην, οντα εκ του αριθμου των δωδεκα,

⁴ και υπηγε και συνελαλησε μετα των αρχιερεων και των στρατηγων το πως να παραδωση αυτον εις αυτους.

⁵ Και εχαρησαν και συνεφωνησαν να δωσωσιν εις αυτον αργυριον·

⁶ και εδωκεν υποσχεσιν και εζητει ευκαιριαν να παραδωση αυτον εις αυτους χωρις θορυβου.

⁷ Ηλθε δε ημερα των αζυμων, καθ' ην επρεπε να θυσιασωσι το πασχα,

⁸ και απεστειλε τον Πετρον και Ιωαννην, ειπων· Υπαγετε και ετοιμασατε εις ημας το πασχα, δια να φαγωμεν.

⁹ Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον· Που θελεις να ετοιμασωμεν;

¹⁰ Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους· Ιδου, οταν εισελθητε εις την πολιν, θελει σας συναπαντησει ανθρωπος βασταζων σταμνιον υδατος· ακολουθησατε αυτον εις την οικιαν οπου εισερχεται.

¹¹ Και θελετε ειπει προς τον οικοδεσποτην της οικιας· Ο Διδασκαλος σοι λεγει, Που ειναι το καταλυμα, οπου θελω φαγει το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου;

¹² και εκεινος θελει σας δειξει ανωγεον μεγα εστρωμενον· εκει ετοιμασατε.

¹³ Αφου δε υπηγον, ευρον καθως ειπε προς αυτους, και ητοιμασαν το πασχα.

¹⁴ Και οτε ηλθεν η ωρα, εκαθησεν εις την τραπεζαν, και οι δωδεκα αποστολοι μετ' αυτου.

¹⁵ Και ειπε προς αυτους· Πολυ επεθυμησα να φαγω το πασχα τουτο με σας προ του να παθω·

¹⁶ διοτι σας λεγω, οτι δεν θελω φαγει πλεον εξ αυτου, εωσου εκπληρωθη εν τη βασιλεια του Θεου.

¹⁷ Και λαβων το ποτηριον, ευχαριστησε και ειπε· Λαβετε τουτο και διαμοιρασατε εις αλληλους·

¹⁸ διοτι σας λεγω οτι δεν θελω πιει απο του γεννηματος της αμπελου, εωσου ελθη η βασιλεια του Θεου.

¹⁹ Και λαβων αρτον, ευχαριστησας εκοψε και εδωκεν εις αυτους, λεγων· Τουτο ειναι το σωμα μου το υπερ υμων διδομενον· τουτο καμνετε εις την ιδικην μου αναμνησιν.

²⁰ Ωσαυτως και το ποτηριον, αφου εδειπνησαν, λεγων· Τουτο το ποτηριον ειναι η καινη διαθηκη εν τω αιματι μου, το υπερ υμων εκχυνομενον.

²¹ Πλην ιδου, η χειρ εκεινου οστις με παραδιδει, ειναι μετ' εμου επι της τραπεζης.

²² Και ο μεν Υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει κατα το ωρισμενον· πλην ουαι εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, δι' ου παραδιδεται.

²³ Και αυτοι ηρχισαν να συζητωσι προς αλληλους το ποιος ταχα ητο εξ αυτων, οστις εμελλε να καμη τουτο.

²⁴ Εγεινε δε και φιλονεικια μεταξυ αυτων, περι του τις εξ αυτων νομιζεται οτι ειναι μεγαλητερος.

²⁵ Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους· οι βασιλεις των εθνων κυριευουσιν αυτα, και οι εξουσιαζοντες αυτα ονομαζονται ευεργεται.

²⁶ Σεις ομως ουχι ουτως, αλλ' ο μεγαλητερος μεταξυ σας ας γεινη ως ο μικροτερος, και ο προισταμενος ως ο υπηρετων.

²⁷ Διοτι τις ειναι μεγαλητερος, ο καθημενος εις την τραπεζαν η ο υπηρετων; ουχι ο καθημενος; αλλ' εγω ειμαι εν μεσω υμων ως ο υπηρετων.

²⁸ Σεις δε εισθε οι διαμειναντες μετ' εμου εν τοις πειρασμοις μου·

²⁹ οθεν εγω ετοιμαζω εις εσας βασιλειαν, ως ο Πατηρ μου ητοιμασεν εις εμε,

³⁰ δια να τρωγητε και να πινητε επι της τραπεζης μου εν τη βασιλεια μου, και να καθησητε επι θρονων, κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του Ισραηλ.

³¹ Ειπε δε ο Κυριος· Σιμων, Σιμων, ιδου, ο Σατανας σας εζητησε δια να σας κοσκινιση ως τον σιτον·

³² πλην εγω εδεηθην περι σου δια να μη εκλειψη η πιστις σου· και συ, οταν ποτε επιστρεψης, στηριξον τους αδελφους σου.

³³ Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον· Κυριε, ετοιμος ειμαι μετα σου να υπαγω και εις φυλακην και εις θανατον.

³⁴ Ο δε ειπε· σοι λεγω, Πετρε, δεν θελει φωναξει σημερον ο αλεκτωρ, πριν απαρνηθης τρις οτι δεν με γνωριζεις.

³⁵ Και ειπε προς αυτους· Οτε σας απεστειλα χωρις βαλαντιου και σακκιου και υποδηματων, μηπως εστερηθητε τινος; οι δε ειπον· Ουδενος.

³⁶ Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους· Αλλα τωρα οστις εχει βαλαντιον ας λαβη αυτο μεθ' εαυτου, ομοιως και σακκιον, και οστις δεν εχει ας πωληση το ιματιον αυτου και ας αγοραση μαχαιραν.

³⁷ Διοτι σας λεγω οτι ετι τουτο το γεγραμμενον πρεπει να εκτελεσθη εις εμε, το, Και μετα ανομων ελογισθη. Διοτι τα περι εμου γεγραμμενα λαμβανουσι τελος.

³⁸ Οι δε ειπον· Κυριε, ιδου, ηδη δυο μαχαιραι. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους· Ικανον ειναι.

³⁹ Και εξελθων υπηγε κατα την συνηθειαν εις το ορος των Ελαιων· ηκολουθησαν δε αυτον και οι μαθηται αυτου.

¹⁸ And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.

¹⁹ But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

²⁰ But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

²¹ Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:

²² Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

²³ And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

¹ Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

² Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

³ But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

⁵ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

⁹ Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

¹⁰ Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

¹¹ They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

¹⁴ Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

¹⁰ Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Υπαγε προς τον λαον και αγιασον αυτους σημερον και αυριον, και ας πλυνωσι τα ιματια αυτων·

¹¹ και ας ηναι ετοιμοι εις την ημεραν την τριτην· διοτι εν τη ημερα τη τριτη θελει καταβη ο Κυριος επι το ορος Σινα ενωπιον παντος του λαου·

¹² και θελεις βαλει εις τον λαον ορια κυκλοθεν, λεγων, Προσεχετε εις εαυτους μη αναβητε εις το ορος η εγγισητε εις τα ακρα αυτου· οστις εγγιση το ορος, θελει εξαπαντος θανατωθη·

¹³ δεν θελει εγγισει εις αυτον χειρ, διοτι με λιθους θελει λιθοβοληθη η με βελη θελει κατατοξευθη· ειτε ζωον ειναι ειτε ανθρωπος, δεν θελει ζησει. Οταν η σαλπιγξ ηχηση, τοτε θελουσιν αναβη επι το ορος.

¹⁴ Και κατεβη ο Μωυσης απο του ορους προς τον λαον και ηγιασε τον λαον· και επλυναν τα ιματια αυτων.

¹⁵ Και ειπε προς τον λαον, Γινεσθε ετοιμοι δια την ημεραν την τριτην· μη πλησιασητε εις γυναικα.

¹⁶ Και εν τη ημερα τη τριτη το πρωι εγειναν βρονται και αστραπαι, και νεφελη πυκνη ητο επι του ορους, και φωνη σαλπιγγος δυνατη σφοδρα· και ετρεμε πας ο λαος ο εν τω στρατοπεδω.

¹⁷ Τοτε εξηγαγεν ο Μωυσης τον λαον εκ του στρατοπεδου εις την συναντησιν του Θεου· και εσταθησαν υπο το ορος.

¹⁸ Το δε ορος Σινα ητο ολον καπνος, διοτι κατεβη ο Κυριος εν πυρι επ' αυτο· ανεβαινε δε ο καπνος αυτου ως καπνος καμινου και ολον το ορος εσειετο σφοδρα.

¹⁹ Και οτε η φωνη της σαλπιγγος προεβαινεν αυξανομενη σφοδρα, ο Μωυσης ελαλει και ο Θεος απεκρινετο προς αυτον μετα φωνης.

¹ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

² Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

³ Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

⁴ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁵ Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

⁶ Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁷ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

⁹ When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

¹⁰ And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

¹³ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

¹⁴ It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

¹⁵ And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

¹⁶ Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

¹⁷ Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

¹⁸ Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

¹⁹ Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

²⁰ That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

²¹ Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

²² Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

²³ Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

¹ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

² I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

³ Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

⁴ Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁵ I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

⁴ Κυριος ο Θεος εδωκεν εις εμε γλωσσαν πεπαιδευμενων, δια να εξευρω πως να λαλησω λογον εν καιρω προς τον βεβαρυμενον· εγειρει απο πρωι εις πρωι, εγειρει το ωτιον μου, δια να ακουω ως οι πεπαιδευμενοι.

⁵ Κυριος ο Θεος ηνοιξεν ωτιον εν εμοι και εγω δεν ηπειθησα ουδε εστραφην οπισω.

⁶ Τον νωτον μου εδωκα εις τους μαστιγουντας και τας σιαγονας μου εις τους μαδιζοντας· δεν εκρυψα το προσωπον μου απο υβρισμων και εμπτυσματων.

⁷ Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος θελει με βοηθησει· δια τουτο δεν ενετραπην· δια τουτο εθεσα το προσωπον μου ως πετραν σκληραν και εξευρω οτι δεν θελω καταισχυνθη.

⁸ Πλησιον ειναι ο δικαιονων με· τις θελει κριθη μετ' εμου; ας παρασταθωμεν ομου· τις ειναι η αντιδικος μου; ας πλησιαση εις εμε.

⁹ Ιδου, Κυριος ο Θεος θελει με βοηθησει· τις θελει με καταδικασει ιδου, παντες ουτοι θελουσι παλαιωθη ως ιματιον· ο σκωληξ θελει καταφαγει αυτους.

¹⁰ Τις ειναι μεταξυ σας ο φοβουμενος τον Κυριον, ο υπακουων εις την φωνην του δουλου αυτου; ουτος, και αν περιπατη εν σκοτει και δεν εχη φως, ας θαρρη επι το ονομα του Κυριου και ας επιστηριζεται επι τον Θεον αυτου.

¹¹ Ιδου, παντες σεις, οι αναπτοντες πυρ και περικυκλουμενοι με σπινθηρας, περιπατειτε εν τω φωτι του πυρος σας και δια των σπινθηρων τους οποιους εξηψατε. Τουτο σας εγεινεν υπο της χειρος μου, εν λυπη θελετε κοιτεσθαι.

²³ Διοτι εγω παρελαβον απο του Κυριου εκεινο, το οποιον και παρεδωκα εις εσας, οτι ο Κυριος Ιησους εν τη νυκτι καθ' ην παρεδιδετο ελαβεν αρτον,

²⁴ και ευχαριστησας εκοψε και ειπε· Λαβετε, φαγετε· τουτο ειναι το σωμα μου το υπερ υμων κλωμενον· τουτο καμνετε εις την αναμνησιν μου.

²⁵ Ομοιως και το ποτηριον, αφου εδειπνησε, λεγων· Τουτο το ποτηριον ειναι η καινη διαθηκη εν τω αιματι μου· τουτο καμνετε, οσακις πινητε, εις την αναμνησιν μου.

²⁶ Διοτι οσακις αν τρωγητε τον αρτον τουτον και πινητε το ποτηριον τουτο, τον θανατον του Κυριου καταγγελλετε, μεχρι της ελευσεως αυτου.

²⁷ Ωστε οστις τρωγη τον αρτον τουτον η πινη το ποτηριον του Κυριου αναξιως, ενοχος θελει εισθαι του σωματος και αιματος του Κυριου.

²⁸ Ας δοκιμαζη δε εαυτον ο ανθρωπος, και ουτως ας τρωγη εκ του αρτου και ας πινη εκ του ποτηριου·

²⁹ διοτι ο τρωγων και πινων αναξιως τρωγει και πινει κατακρισιν εις εαυτον, μη διακρινων το σωμα του Κυριου.

³⁰ Δια τουτο υπαρχουσι μεταξυ σας πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι, και αποθνησκουσιν ικανοι.

³¹ Διοτι εαν διεκρινομεν εαυτους, δεν ηθελομεν κρινεσθαι·

³² αλλ' οταν κρινωμεθα, παιδευομεθα υπο του Κυριου, δια να μη κατακριθωμεν μετα του κοσμου.

² Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

³ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁴ And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

⁵ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

⁸ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

⁹ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

¹² For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

¹⁵ And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

²⁰ Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

⁴ He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

⁵ After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

²¹ And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

²³ And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²⁴ The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁵ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

²⁸ For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

³⁰ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵ Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

³⁸ Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

³⁹ And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴² He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto 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.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

⁴⁷ And 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.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹ And, 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.

⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵⁵ In 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.

⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

⁵⁷ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

⁶⁰ But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹ And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶² And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶³ But 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.

⁶⁴ Jesus 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.

⁶⁵ Then 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.

⁶⁶ What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁸ Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

⁶⁹ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And 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.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

⁷³ And 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.

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And 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.

¹ When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

² And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

¹ Προ δε της εορτης του πασχα εξευρων ο Ιησους οτι ηλθεν η ωρα αυτου δια να μεταβη εκ του κοσμου τουτου προς τον Πατερα, αγαπησας τους ιδικους του τους εν τω κοσμω, μεχρι τελους ηγαπησεν αυτους.

² Και αφου εγεινε δειπνος, ο δε διαβολος ειχεν ηδη βαλει εις την καρδιαν του Ιουδα Σιμωνος του Ισκαριωτου να παραδωση αυτον,

³ εξευρων ο Ιησους οτι παντα εδωκεν εις αυτον ο Πατηρ εις τας χειρας, και οτι απο του Θεου εξηλθε και προς τον Θεον υπαγει,

⁴ εγειρεται εκ του δειπνου και εκδυεται τα ιματια αυτου, και λαβων προσοψιον διεζωσθη·

⁵ επειτα βαλλει υδωρ εις τον νιπτηρα, και ηρχισε να νιπτη τους ποδας των μαθητων και να σπογγιζη με το προσοψιον, με το οποιον ητο διεζωσμενος.

⁶ Ερχεται λοιπον προς τον Σιμωνα Πετρον, και λεγει προς αυτον εκεινος· Κυριε, συ μου νιπτεις τους ποδας;

⁷ Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον· Εκεινο, το οποιον εγω καμνω, συ δεν εξευρεις τωρα, θελεις ομως γνωρισει μετα ταυτα.

⁸ Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πετρος· Δεν θελεις νιψει τους ποδας μου εις τον αιωνα. Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Εαν δεν σε νιψω, δεν εχεις μερος μετ' εμου.

⁹ Λεγει προς αυτον ο Σιμων Πετρος· Κυριε, μη τους ποδας μου μονον, αλλα και τας χειρας και την κεφαλην.

¹⁰ Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Ο λελουμενος δεν εχει χρειαν ειμη τους ποδας να νιφθη, αλλ' ειναι ολος καθαρος· και σεις εισθε καθαροι, αλλ' ουχι παντες.

¹¹ Διοτι ηξευρεν εκεινον, οστις εμελλε να παραδωση αυτον· δια τουτο ειπε· Δεν εισθε παντες καθαροι.

¹² Αφου λοιπον ενιψε τους ποδας αυτων και ελαβε τα ιματια αυτου, καθησας παλιν ειπε προς αυτους· Εξευρετε τι εκαμον εις εσας;

¹³ Σεις με φωναζετε, Ο Διδασκαλος και ο Κυριος, και καλως λεγετε, διοτι ειμαι.

¹⁴ Εαν λοιπον εγω, ο Κυριος και ο Διδασκαλος, σας ενιψα τους ποδας, και σεις χρεωστειτε να νιπτητε τους ποδας αλληλων.

¹⁵ Διοτι παραδειγμα εδωκα εις εσας, δια να καμνητε και σεις, καθως εγω εκαμον εις εσας.

¹⁶ Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, δεν ειναι δουλος ανωτερος του κυριου αυτου, ουδε αποστολος ανωτερος του πεμψαντος αυτον.

¹⁷ Εαν εξευρητε ταυτα, μακαριοι εισθε εαν καμνητε αυτα.

¹ Και οτε πλησιαζουσιν εις Ιερουσαλημ εις Βηθφαγη και Βηθανιαν προς το ορος των Ελαιων, αποστελλει δυο των μαθητων αυτου

² και λεγει προς αυτους· Υπαγετε εις την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων, και ευθυς εισερχομενοι εις αυτην θελετε ευρει πωλαριον δεδεμενον, επι του οποιου ουδεις ανθρωπος εκαθησε· λυσατε αυτο και φερετε.

³ Και εαν τις ειπη προς εσας· Δια τι καμνετε τουτο; ειπατε οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτου, και ευθυς θελει αποστειλει αυτο εδω.

⁴ Και υπηγον και ευρον το πωλαριον δεδεμενον προς την θυραν εξω επι της διοδου, και λυουσιν αυτο.

⁵ Και τινες των εκει ισταμενων ελεγον προς αυτους· Τι καμνετε λυοντες το πωλαριον;

⁶ Οι δε ειπον προς αυτους καθως παρηγγειλεν ο Ιησους, και αφηκαν αυτους.

⁷ Και εφεραν το πωλαριον προς τον Ιησουν και εβαλον επ' αυτου τα ιματια αυτων, και εκαθησεν επ' αυτου.

⁸ Πολλοι δε εστρωσαν τα ιματια αυτων εις την οδον, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωνον εις την οδον.

⁹ Και οι προπορευομενοι και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον, λεγοντες· Ωσαννα, ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου.

¹⁰ Ευλογημενη η ερχομενη βασιλεια εν ονοματι Κυριου του πατρος ημων Δαβιδ· Ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.

¹¹ Και εισηλθεν ο Ιησους εις Ιεροσολυμα και εις το ιερον· και αφου περιεβλεψε παντα, επειδη η ωρα ητο ηδη προς εσπεραν, εξηλθεν εις Βηθανιαν μετα των δωδεκα.

¹² Και τη επαυριον, αφου εξηλθον απο Βηθανιας, επεινασε·

¹³ και ιδων μακροθεν συκην εχουσαν φυλλα, ηλθεν αν τυχον ευρη τι εν αυτη· και ελθων επ' αυτην ουδεν ευρεν ειμη φυλλα· διοτι δεν ητο καιρος συκων.

¹⁴ Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην· Μηδεις πλεον εις τον αιωνα να μη φαγη καρπον απο σου. Και ηκουον τουτο οι μαθηται αυτου.

¹⁵ Και ερχονται εις Ιεροσολυμα· και εισελθων ο Ιησους εις το ιερον, ηρχισε να εκβαλλη τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των αργυραμοιβων και τα καθισματα των πωλουντων τας περιστερας ανετρεψε,

¹⁶ και δεν αφινε να περαση τις σκευος δια του ιερου,

¹⁷ και εδιδασκε, λεγων προς αυτους· Δεν ειναι γεγραμμενον, οτι Ο οικος μου θελει ονομαζεσθαι οικος προσευχης δια παντα τα εθνη; σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.

¹⁸ Και ηκουσαν οι γραμματεις και οι αρχιερεις και εζητουν πως να απολεσωσιν αυτον· διοτι εφοβουντο αυτον, επειδη πας ο οχλος εξεπληττετο εις την διδαχην αυτου.

¹⁹ Και οτε εγεινεν εσπερα, εξηρχετο εξω της πολεως.

²⁰ Και το πρωι διαβαινοντες ειδον την συκην εξηραμμενην εκ ριζων.

²¹ Και ενθυμηθεις ο Πετρος, λεγει προς αυτον· Ραββι, ιδε, η συκη, την οποιαν κατηρασθης, εξηρανθη.

²² Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, λεγει προς αυτους· Εχετε πιστιν Θεου.

²³ Διοτι αληθως σας λεγω οτι οστις ειπη προς το ορος τουτο, Σηκωθητε και ριφθητι εις την θαλασσαν, και δεν δισταση εν τη καρδια αυτου, αλλα πιστευση οτι εκεινα τα οποια λεγει γινονται, θελει γεινει εις αυτον ο, τι εαν ειπη.

²⁴ Δια τουτο σας λεγω, Παντα οσα προσευχομενοι ζητειτε, πιστευετε οτι λαμβανετε, και θελει γεινει εις εσας.

²⁵ Και οταν ιστασθε προσευχομενοι, συγχωρειτε εαν εχητε τι κατα τινος, δια να συγχωρηση εις εσας και ο Πατηρ σας ο εν τοις ουρανοις τα αμαρτηματα σας.

²⁶ Αλλ' εαν σεις δεν συγχωρητε, ουδε ο Πατηρ σας ο εν τοις ουρανοις θελει συγχωρησει τα αμαρτηματα σας.

²⁷ Και ερχονται παλιν εις Ιεροσολυμα· και ενω περιεπατει εν τω ιερω, ερχονται προς αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι

²⁸ και λεγουσι προς αυτον· Εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα; και τις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην, δια να πραττης ταυτα;

²⁹ Ο δε Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους· Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, και αποκριθητε μοι, και θελω σας ειπει εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.

³⁰ Το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ητο η εξ ανθρωπων; αποκριθητε μοι.

³¹ Και διελογιζοντο καθ' εαυτους, λεγοντες· Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει· Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον;

³² Αλλ' εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων; εφοβουντο τον λαον· διοτι παντες ειχον τον Ιωαννην οτι ητο τωοντι προφητης.

³³ Και αποκριθεντες λεγουσι προς τον Ιησουν· Δεν εξευρομεν. Και ο Ιησους αποκριθεις λεγει προς αυτους· Ουδε εγω λεγω προς υμας εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.
