¹وقرب عيد الفطر الذي يقال له الفصح.

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

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

²and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

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

³And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

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

⁴And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁵ففرحوا وعاهدوه ان يعطوه فضة.

⁵And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁶فواعدهم. وكان يطلب فرصة ليسلمه اليهم خلوا من جمع

⁶And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

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

⁷And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸فارسل بطرس ويوحنا قائلا اذهبا واعدّا لنا الفصح لناكل.

⁸And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

⁹فقالا له اين تريد ان نعدّ.

⁹But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

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

¹⁰And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes 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 says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹²فذاك يريكما عليّة كبيرة مفروشة. هناك اعدا.

¹²And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³فانطلقا ووجدا كما قال لهما. فاعدّا الفصح

¹³And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴ولما كانت الساعة اتكأ والاثنا عشر رسولا معه.

¹⁴And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

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

¹⁵And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

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

¹⁶For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ثم تناول كاسا وشكر وقال خذوا هذه واقتسموها بينكم.

¹⁷And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

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

¹⁸For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

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

¹⁹And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in 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 having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ولكن هوذا يد الذي يسلمني هي معي على المائدة.

²¹Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

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

²²and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

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

²³And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

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

²⁴And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.

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

²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

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

²⁶But *ye* [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

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

²⁷For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁸انتم الذين ثبتوا معي في تجاربي.

²⁸But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁹وانا اجعل لكم كما جعل لي ابي ملكوتا.

²⁹And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

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

³⁰that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and 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, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;

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

³²but *I* have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and *thou*, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

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

³³And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

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

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest 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 purse 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.

³⁶He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none 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 unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸فقالوا يا رب هوذا هنا سيفان. فقال لهم يكفي

³⁸And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

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

³⁹And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

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

⁴⁰And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹وانفصل عنهم نحو رمية حجر وجثا على ركبتيه وصلّى

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

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

⁴²saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: -- but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³وظهر له ملاك من السماء يقويه.

⁴³And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

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

⁴⁴And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

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

⁴⁵And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

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

⁴⁶And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

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

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸فقال له يسوع يا يهوذا أبقبلة تسلم ابن الانسان.

⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

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

⁴⁹And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?

⁵⁰وضرب واحد منهم عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه اليمنى.

⁵⁰And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

⁵¹فاجاب يسوع وقال دعوا الى هذا. ولمس اذنه وابرأها

⁵¹And Jesus answering said, Suffer 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 the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

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

⁵³When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

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

⁵⁴And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

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

⁵⁵And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

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

⁵⁶And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.

⁵⁷فانكره قائلا لست اعرفه يا امرأة.

⁵⁷But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.

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

⁵⁸And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

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

⁵⁹And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

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

⁶⁰And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] 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, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶²فخرج بطرس الى خارج وبكى بكاء مرا

⁶²And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

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

⁶³And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];

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

⁶⁴and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

⁶⁵واشياء أخر كثيرة كانوا يقولون عليه مجدفين

⁶⁵And they said many other injurious things to him.

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

⁶⁶And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

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

⁶⁷If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

⁶⁸وان سألت لا تجيبونني ولا تطلقونني.

⁶⁸and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;

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

⁶⁹but henceforth shall the Son of man be 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 to them, *Ye* say that I am.

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

⁷¹And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?
