¹وقرب عيد الفطر الذي يقال له الفصح.

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

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

²The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

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

³Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

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

⁴He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ففرحوا وعاهدوه ان يعطوه فضة.

⁵They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶فواعدهم. وكان يطلب فرصة ليسلمه اليهم خلوا من جمع

⁶He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

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

⁷The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸فارسل بطرس ويوحنا قائلا اذهبا واعدّا لنا الفصح لناكل.

⁸He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹فقالا له اين تريد ان نعدّ.

⁹They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

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

¹⁰He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

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

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹²فذاك يريكما عليّة كبيرة مفروشة. هناك اعدا.

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³فانطلقا ووجدا كما قال لهما. فاعدّا الفصح

¹³They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ولما كانت الساعة اتكأ والاثنا عشر رسولا معه.

¹⁴When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

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

¹⁵He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

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

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ثم تناول كاسا وشكر وقال خذوا هذه واقتسموها بينكم.

¹⁷He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

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

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes.”

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

¹⁹He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

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

²⁰Likewise, he took the cup after supper, 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.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

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

²² The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

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

²³They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

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

²⁴There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

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

²⁵He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

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

²⁶ But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

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

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.

²⁸انتم الذين ثبتوا معي في تجاربي.

²⁸ But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹وانا اجعل لكم كما جعل لي ابي ملكوتا.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

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

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

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

³¹The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

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

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” .”

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

³³He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

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

³⁴He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

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

³⁵He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

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

³⁶Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, 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.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ Isaiah 53:12 For that which concerns me has an end.”

³⁸فقالوا يا رب هوذا هنا سيفان. فقال لهم يكفي

³⁸They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

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

³⁹He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

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

⁴⁰When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹وانفصل عنهم نحو رمية حجر وجثا على ركبتيه وصلّى

⁴¹He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

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

⁴²saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³وظهر له ملاك من السماء يقويه.

⁴³An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

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

⁴⁴Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

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

⁴⁵When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

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

⁴⁶and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

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

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸فقال له يسوع يا يهوذا أبقبلة تسلم ابن الانسان.

⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

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

⁴⁹When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

⁵⁰وضرب واحد منهم عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه اليمنى.

⁵⁰A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹فاجاب يسوع وقال دعوا الى هذا. ولمس اذنه وابرأها

⁵¹But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this” —and he touched his ear, and healed him.

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

⁵²Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

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

⁵³ When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t 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.

⁵⁴They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

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

⁵⁵When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

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

⁵⁶A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

⁵⁷فانكره قائلا لست اعرفه يا امرأة.

⁵⁷He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

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

⁵⁸After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

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

⁵⁹After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

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

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

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

⁶¹The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”

⁶²فخرج بطرس الى خارج وبكى بكاء مرا

⁶²He went out, and wept bitterly.

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

⁶³The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

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

⁶⁴Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

⁶⁵واشياء أخر كثيرة كانوا يقولون عليه مجدفين

⁶⁵They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

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

⁶⁶As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

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

⁶⁷“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,

⁶⁸وان سألت لا تجيبونني ولا تطلقونني.

⁶⁸ and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.

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

⁶⁹ From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

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

⁷⁰They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”

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

⁷¹They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
