¹وكان الفصح وايام الفطير بعد يومين. وكان رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة يطلبون كيف يمسكونه بمكر ويقتلونه.

¹And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

²ولكنهم قالوا ليس في العيد لئلا يكون شغب في الشعب

²and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.`

³وفيما هو في بيت عنيا في بيت سمعان الابرص وهو متكئ جاءت امرأة معها قارورة طيب ناردين خالص كثير الثمن. فكسرت القارورة وسكبته على راسه.

³And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

⁴وكان قوم مغتاظين في انفسهم فقالوا لماذا كان تلف الطيب هذا.

⁴and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

⁵لانه كان يمكن ان يباع هذا باكثر من ثلاث مئة دينار ويعطى للفقراء. وكانوا يؤنبونها.

⁵for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;` and they were murmuring at her.

⁶اما يسوع فقال اتركوها. لماذا تزعجونها. قد عملت بي عملا حسنا.

⁶And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;

⁷لان الفقراء معكم في كل حين ومتى اردتم تقدرون ان تعملوا بهم خيرا. واما انا فلست معكم في كل حين.

⁷for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

⁸عملت ما عندها. قد سبقت ودهنت بالطيب جسدي للتكفين.

⁸what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

⁹الحق اقول لكم حيثما يكرز بهذا الانجيل في كل العالم يخبر ايضا بما فعلته هذه تذكارا لها

⁹Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.`

¹⁰ثم ان يهوذا الاسخريوطي واحدا من الاثني عشر مضى الى رؤساء الكهنة ليسلمه اليهم.

¹⁰And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,

¹¹ولما سمعوا فرحوا ووعدوه ان يعطوه فضة. وكان يطلب كيف يسلمه في فرصة موافقة ‎

¹¹and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

¹²وفي اليوم الاول من الفطير حين كانوا يذبحون الفصح قال له تلاميذه اين تريد ان نمضي ونعد لتأكل الفصح.

¹²And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, [that,] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?`

¹³فارسل اثنين من تلاميذه وقال لهما اذهبا الى المدينة فيلاقيكما انسان حامل جرة ماء. اتبعاه.

¹³And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;

¹⁴وحيثما يدخل فقولا لرب البيت ان المعلّم يقول اين المنزل حيث آكل الفصح مع تلاميذي.

¹⁴and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house — The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

¹⁵فهو يريكما علّية كبيرة مفروشة معدة. هناك اعدا لنا.

¹⁵and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.`

¹⁶فخرج تلميذاه وأتيا الى المدينة ووجدا كما قال لهما. فأعدا الفصح

¹⁶And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷ولما كان المساء جاء مع الاثني عشر.

¹⁷And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,

¹⁸وفيما هم متكئون يأكلون قال يسوع الحق اقول لكم ان واحدا منكم يسلمني. الآكل معي.

¹⁸and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, `Verily I say to you — one of you, who is eating with me — shall deliver me up.`

¹⁹فابتدأوا يحزنون ويقولون له واحدا فواحدا هل انا. وآخر هل انا.

¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, `Is it I?` and another, `Is it I?`

²⁰فاجاب وقال لهم. هو واحد من الاثني عشر الذي يغمس معي في الصحفة.

²⁰And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

²¹ان ابن الانسان ماض كما هو مكتوب عنه. ولكن ويل لذلك الرجل الذي به يسلم ابن الانسان. كان خيرا لذلك الرجل لو لم يولد

²¹the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.`

²²وفيما هم يأكلون اخذ يسوع خبزا وبارك وكسر واعطاهم وقال خذوا كلوا هذا هو جسدي.

²²And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, `Take, eat; this is my body.`

²³ثم اخذ الكاس وشكر واعطاهم فشربوا منها كلهم.

²³And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it — all;

²⁴وقال لهم هذا هو دمي الذي للعهد الجديد الذي يسفك من اجل كثيرين.

²⁴and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;

²⁵الحق اقول لكم اني لا اشرب بعد من نتاج الكرمة الى ذلك اليوم حينما اشربه جديدا في ملكوت الله.

²⁵verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.`

²⁶ثم سبّحوا وخرجوا الى جبل الزيتون

²⁶And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,

²⁷وقال لهم يسوع ان كلكم تشكون فيّ في هذه الليلة. لانه مكتوب اني اضرب الراعي فتتبدد الخراف.

²⁷and Jesus saith to them — `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

²⁸ولكن بعد قيامي اسبقكم الى الجليل.

²⁸but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.`

²⁹فقال له بطرس وان شك الجميع فانا لا اشك.

²⁹And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;`

³⁰فقال له يسوع الحق اقول لك انك اليوم في هذه الليلة قبل ان يصيح الديك مرتين تنكرني ثلاث مرات.

³⁰And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.`

³¹فقال باكثر تشديد ولو اضطررت ان اموت معك لا انكرك. وهكذا قال ايضا الجميع

³¹And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in nowise deny thee;` and in like manner also said they all.

³²وجاءوا الى ضيعة اسمها جثسيماني فقال لتلاميذه اجلسوا ههنا حتى اصلّي.

³²And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I may pray;`

³³ثم اخذ معه بطرس ويعقوب ويوحنا وابتدأ يدهش ويكتئب.

³³and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

³⁴فقال لهم نفسي حزينة جدا حتى الموت. امكثوا هنا واسهروا.

³⁴and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul — to death; remain here, and watch.`

³⁵ثم تقدم قليلا وخرّ على الارض وكان يصلّي لكي تعبر عنه الساعة ان امكن.

³⁵And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

³⁶وقال يا ابا الآب كل شيء مستطاع لك. فاجز عني هذه الكاس. ولكن ليكن لا ما اريد انا بل ما تريد انت.

³⁶and he said, `Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.`

³⁷ثم جاء ووجدهم نياما فقال لبطرس يا سمعان انت نائم. أما قدرت ان تسهر ساعة واحدة.

³⁷And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, `Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

³⁸اسهروا وصلّوا لئلا تدخلوا في تجربة. اما الروح فنشيط واما الجسد فضعيف.

³⁸Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.`

³⁹ومضى ايضا وصلّى قائلا ذلك الكلام بعينه.

³⁹And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;

⁴⁰ثم رجع ووجدهم ايضا نياما اذ كانت اعينهم ثقيلة فلم يعلموا بماذا يجيبونه.

⁴⁰and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

⁴¹ثم جاء ثالثة وقال لهم ناموا الآن واستريحوا. يكفي. قد أتت الساعة. هوذا ابن الانسان يسلم الى ايدي الخطاة.

⁴¹And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest — it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

⁴²قوموا لنذهب. هوذا الذي يسلمني قد اقترب

⁴²rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.`

⁴³وللوقت فيما هو يتكلم اقبل يهوذا واحد من الاثني عشر ومعه جمع كثير بسيوف وعصي من عند رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة والشيوخ.

⁴³And immediately — while he is yet speaking — cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

⁴⁴وكان مسلمه قد اعطاهم علامة قائلا الذي اقبّله هو هو. امسكوه وامضوا به بحرص.

⁴⁴and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,`

⁴⁵فجاء للوقت وتقدم اليه قائلا يا سيدي يا سيدي. وقبله.

⁴⁵and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,` and kissed him.

⁴⁶فألقوا ايديهم عليه وامسكوه.

⁴⁶And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

⁴⁷فاستل واحد من الحاضرين السيف وضرب عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه

⁴⁷and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.

⁴⁸فاجاب يسوع وقال لهم كانه على لص خرجتم بسيوف وعصي لتأخذوني.

⁴⁸And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!

⁴⁹كل يوم كنت معكم في الهيكل اعلّم ولم تمسكوني. ولكن لكي تكمل الكتب.

⁴⁹daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me — but that the Writings may be fulfilled.`

⁵⁰فتركه الجميع وهربوا.

⁵⁰And having left him they all fled;

⁵¹وتبعه شاب لابسا ازارا على عريه فامسكه الشبان.

⁵¹and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

⁵²فترك الازار وهرب منهم عريانا

⁵²and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

⁵³فمضوا بيسوع الى رئيس الكهنة فاجتمع معه جميع رؤساء الكهنة والشيوخ والكتبة.

⁵³And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;

⁵⁴وكان بطرس قد تبعه من بعيد الى داخل دار رئيس الكهنة وكان جالسا بين الخدام يستدفئ عند النار.

⁵⁴and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

⁵⁵وكان رؤساء الكهنة والمجمع كله يطلبون شهادة على يسوع ليقتلوه فلم يجدوا.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,

⁵⁶لان كثيرين شهدوا عليه زورا ولم تتفق شهاداتهم.

⁵⁶for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

⁵⁷ثم قام قوم وشهدوا عليه زورا قائلين.

⁵⁷And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying —

⁵⁸نحن سمعناه يقول اني انقض هذا الهيكل المصنوع بالايادي وفي ثلاثة ايام ابني آخر غير مصنوع باياد.

⁵⁸`We heard him saying — I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;`

⁵⁹ولا بهذا كانت شهادتهم تتفق.

⁵⁹and neither so was their testimony alike.

⁶⁰فقام رئيس الكهنة في الوسط وسأل يسوع قائلا أما تجيب بشيء. ماذا يشهد به هؤلاء عليك.

⁶⁰And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?`

⁶¹اما هو فكان ساكتا ولم يجب بشيء. فسأله رئيس الكهنة ايضا وقال له أانت المسيح ابن المبارك.

⁶¹and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, `Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?`

⁶²فقال يسوع انا هو. وسوف تبصرون ابن الانسان جالسا عن يمين القوة وآتيا في سحاب السماء.

⁶²and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.`

⁶³فمزّق رئيس الكهنة ثيابه وقال ما حاجتنا بعد الى شهود.

⁶³And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, `What need have we yet of witnesses?

⁶⁴قد سمعتم التجاديف. ما رايكم. فالجميع حكموا عليه انه مستوجب الموت.

⁶⁴Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?` and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,

⁶⁵فابتدأ قوم يبصقون عليه ويغطون وجهه ويلكمونه ويقولون له تنبأ. وكان الخدام يلطمونه

⁶⁵and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;` and the officers were striking him with their palms.

⁶⁶وبينما كان بطرس في الدار اسفل جاءت احدى جواري رئيس الكهنة.

⁶⁶And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,

⁶⁷فلما رأت بطرس يستدفئ نظرت اليه وقالت وانت كنت مع يسوع الناصري.

⁶⁷and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, `And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!`

⁶⁸فانكر قائلا لست ادري ولا افهم ما تقولين. وخرج خارجا الى الدهليز. فصاح الديك.

⁶⁸and he denied, saying, `I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;` and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

⁶⁹فرأته الجارية ايضا وابتدأت تقول للحاضرين ان هذا منهم.

⁶⁹And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — `This is of them;`

⁷⁰فانكر ايضا. وبعد قليل ايضا قال الحاضرون لبطرس حقا انت منهم لانك جليلي ايضا ولغتك تشبه لغتهم.

⁷⁰and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, `Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;`

⁷¹فابتدأ يلعن ويحلف اني لا اعرف هذا الرجل الذي تقولون عنه.

⁷¹and he began to anathematize, and to swear — `I have not known this man of whom ye speak;`

⁷²وصاح الديك ثانية فتذكر بطرس القول الذي قاله له يسوع انك قبل ان يصيح الديك مرتين تنكرني ثلاث مرات. فلما تفكر به بكى

⁷²and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him — `Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;` and having thought thereon — he was weeping.
