¹وقرب عيد الفطر الذي يقال له الفصح.

¹And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,

²وكان رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة يطلبون كيف يقتلونه. لانهم خافوا الشعب

²and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.

³فدخل الشيطان في يهوذا الذي يدعى الاسخريوطي وهو من جملة الاثني عشر.

³And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

⁴فمضى وتكلم مع رؤساء الكهنة وقواد الجند كيف يسلمه اليهم.

⁴and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

⁵ففرحوا وعاهدوه ان يعطوه فضة.

⁵and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

⁶فواعدهم. وكان يطلب فرصة ليسلمه اليهم خلوا من جمع

⁶and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.

⁷وجاء يوم الفطير الذي كان ينبغي ان يذبح فيه الفصح.

⁷And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁸فارسل بطرس ويوحنا قائلا اذهبا واعدّا لنا الفصح لناكل.

⁸and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;`

⁹فقالا له اين تريد ان نعدّ.

⁹and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?`

¹⁰فقال لهما اذا دخلتما المدينة يستقبلكما انسان حامل جرة ماء. اتبعاه الى البيت حيث يدخل

¹⁰And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,

¹¹وقولا لرب البيت يقول لك المعلّم اين المنزل حيث آكل الفصح مع تلاميذي.

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹²فذاك يريكما عليّة كبيرة مفروشة. هناك اعدا.

¹²and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;`

¹³فانطلقا ووجدا كما قال لهما. فاعدّا الفصح

¹³and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ولما كانت الساعة اتكأ والاثنا عشر رسولا معه.

¹⁴And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,

¹⁵وقال لهم شهوة اشتهيت ان آكل هذا الفصح معكم قبل ان اتألم.

¹⁵and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

¹⁶لاني اقول لكم اني لا آكل منه بعد حتى يكمل في ملكوت الله.

¹⁶for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.`

¹⁷ثم تناول كاسا وشكر وقال خذوا هذه واقتسموها بينكم.

¹⁷And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,

¹⁸لاني اقول لكم اني لا اشرب من نتاج الكرمة حتى يأتي ملكوت الله.

¹⁸for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.`

¹⁹واخذ خبزا وشكر وكسر واعطاهم قائلا هذا هو جسدي الذي يبذل عنكم. اصنعوا هذا لذكري.

¹⁹And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to remembrance of me.`

²⁰وكذلك الكاس ايضا بعد العشاء قائلا هذه الكاس هي العهد الجديد بدمي الذي يسفك عنكم.

²⁰In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

²¹ولكن هوذا يد الذي يسلمني هي معي على المائدة.

²¹`But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on the table,

²²وابن الانسان ماض كما هو محتوم. ولكن ويل لذلك الانسان الذي يسلمه.

²²and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.`

²³فابتدأوا يتساءلون فيما بينهم من ترى منهم هو المزمع ان يفعل هذا

²³And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

²⁴وكانت بينهم ايضا مشاجرة من منهم يظن انه يكون اكبر.

²⁴And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.

²⁵فقال لهم. ملوك الامم يسودونهم والمتسلطون عليهم يدعون محسنين.

²⁵And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁶واما انتم فليس هكذا. بل الكبير فيكم ليكن كالاصغر. والمتقدم كالخادم.

²⁶but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

²⁷لان من هو اكبر. الذي يتكئ ام الذي يخدم. أليس الذي يتكئ. ولكني انا بينكم كالذي يخدم.

²⁷for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

²⁸انتم الذين ثبتوا معي في تجاربي.

²⁸`And ye — ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹وانا اجعل لكم كما جعل لي ابي ملكوتا.

²⁹and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰لتأكلوا وتشربوا على مائدتي في ملكوتي وتجلسوا على كراسي تدينون اسباط اسرائيل الاثني عشر

³⁰that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.`

³¹وقال الرب سمعان سمعان هوذا الشيطان طلبكم لكي يغربلكم كالحنطة.

³¹And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³²ولكني طلبت من اجلك لكي لا يفنى ايمانك. وانت متى رجعت ثبت اخوتك.

³²and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.`

³³فقال له يا رب اني مستعد ان امضي معك حتى الى السجن والى الموت.

³³And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;`

³⁴فقال اقول لك يا بطرس لا يصيح الديك اليوم قبل ان تنكر ثلاث مرات انك تعرفني

³⁴and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.`

³⁵ثم قال لهم حين ارسلتكم بلا كيس ولا مزود ولا احذية هل اعوزكم شيء. فقالوا لا.

³⁵And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?` and they said, `Nothing.`

³⁶فقال لهم لكن الآن من له كيس فليأخذه ومزود كذلك. ومن ليس له فليبع ثوبه ويشتر سيفا.

³⁶Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

³⁷لاني اقول لكم انه ينبغي ان يتم فيّ ايضا هذا المكتوب وأحصي مع اثمة. لان ما هو من جهتي له انقضاء.

³⁷for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.`

³⁸فقالوا يا رب هوذا هنا سيفان. فقال لهم يكفي

³⁸And they said, `Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;` and he said to them, `It is sufficient.`

³⁹وخرج ومضى كالعادة الى جبل الزيتون. وتبعه ايضا تلاميذه.

³⁹And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

⁴⁰ولما صار الى المكان قال لهم صلّوا لكي لا تدخلوا في تجربة.

⁴⁰and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.`

⁴¹وانفصل عنهم نحو رمية حجر وجثا على ركبتيه وصلّى

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone`s cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

⁴²قائلا يا ابتاه ان شئت ان تجيز عني هذه الكاس. ولكن لتكن لا ارادتي بل ارادتك.

⁴²saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me —; but, not my will, but Thine be done.` —

⁴³وظهر له ملاك من السماء يقويه.

⁴³And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

⁴⁴واذ كان في جهاد كان يصلّي باشد لجاجة وصار عرقه كقطرات دم نازلة على الارض.

⁴⁴and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁴⁵ثم قام من الصلاة وجاء الى تلاميذه فوجدهم نياما من الحزن.

⁴⁵And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶فقال لهم لماذا انتم نيام. قوموا وصلّوا لئلا تدخلوا في تجربة

⁴⁶and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.`

⁴⁷وبينما هو يتكلم اذا جمع والذي يدعى يهوذا احد الاثني عشر يتقدمهم فدنا من يسوع ليقبله.

⁴⁷And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,

⁴⁸فقال له يسوع يا يهوذا أبقبلة تسلم ابن الانسان.

⁴⁸and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?`

⁴⁹فلما رأى الذين حوله ما يكون قالوا يا رب انضرب بالسيف.

⁴⁹And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?`

⁵⁰وضرب واحد منهم عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه اليمنى.

⁵⁰And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,

⁵¹فاجاب يسوع وقال دعوا الى هذا. ولمس اذنه وابرأها

⁵¹and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,` and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵²ثم قال يسوع لرؤساء الكهنة وقواد جند الهيكل والشيوخ المقبلين عليه. كانه على لص خرجتم بسيوف وعصي.

⁵²And Jesus said to those having come upon him — chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders — `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?

⁵³اذ كنت معكم كل يوم في الهيكل لم تمدوا عليّ الايادي. ولكن هذه ساعتكم وسلطان الظلمة

⁵³while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.`

⁵⁴فأخذوه وساقوه وادخلوه الى بيت رئيس الكهنة واما بطرس فتبعه من بعيد.

⁵⁴And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,

⁵⁵ولما اضرموا نارا في وسط الدار وجلسوا معا جلس بطرس بينهم.

⁵⁵and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

⁵⁶فرأته جارية جالسا عند النار فتفرست فيه وقالت وهذا كان معه.

⁵⁶and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!`

⁵⁷فانكره قائلا لست اعرفه يا امرأة.

⁵⁷and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.`

⁵⁸وبعد قليل رآه آخر وقال وانت منهم. فقال بطرس يا انسان لست انا.

⁵⁸And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!` and Peter said, `Man, I am not.`

⁵⁹ولما مضى نحو ساعة واحدة اكّد آخر قائلا بالحق ان هذا ايضا كان معه لانه جليلي ايضا.

⁵⁹And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;`

⁶⁰فقال بطرس يا انسان لست اعرف ما تقول. وفي الحال بينما هو يتكلم صاح الديك.

⁶⁰and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;` and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

⁶¹فالتفت الرب ونظر الى بطرس. فتذكر بطرس كلام الرب كيف قال له انك قبل ان يصيح الديك تنكرني ثلاث مرات.

⁶¹And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him — `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;`

⁶²فخرج بطرس الى خارج وبكى بكاء مرا

⁶²and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

⁶³والرجال الذين كانوا ضابطين يسوع كانوا يستهزئون به وهم يجلدونه.

⁶³And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating [him];

⁶⁴وغطوه وكانوا يضربون وجهه ويسألونه قائلين تنبأ. من هو الذي ضربك.

⁶⁴and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?`

⁶⁵واشياء أخر كثيرة كانوا يقولون عليه مجدفين

⁶⁵and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.

⁶⁶ولما كان النهار اجتمعت مشيخة الشعب رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة واصعدوه الى مجمعهم

⁶⁶And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,

⁶⁷قائلين ان كنت انت المسيح فقل لنا. فقال لهم ان قلت لكم لا تصدقون.

⁶⁷saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.` And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

⁶⁸وان سألت لا تجيبونني ولا تطلقونني.

⁶⁸and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or send me away;

⁶⁹منذ الآن يكون ابن الانسان جالسا عن يمين قوّة الله.

⁶⁹henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.`

⁷⁰فقال الجميع أفانت ابن الله. فقال لهم انتم تقولون اني انا هو.

⁷⁰And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?` and he said unto them, `Ye say [it], because I am;`

⁷¹فقالوا ما حاجتنا بعد الى شهادة لاننا نحن سمعنا من فمه

⁷¹and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.`
