¹It happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,

¹Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt alle disse Ord, sagde han til sine Disciple:

² “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

²"I vide, at om to Dage er det Påske; så forrådes Menneskesønnen til at korsfæstes."

³Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

³Da forsamledes Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste i Ypperstepræstens Gård; han hed Kajfas.

⁴They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

⁴Og de rådsloge om at gribe Jesus med List og ihjelslå ham.

⁵But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

⁵Men de sagde: "Ikke på Højtiden, for at der ikke skal blive Oprør iblandt Folket."

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

⁶Men da Jesus var kommen til Bethania, i Simon den spedalskes Hus,

⁷a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

⁷kom der en Kvinde til ham, som havde en Alabastkrukke med såre kostbar Salve, og hun udgød den på hans Hoved, medens han sad til Bords.

⁸But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

⁸Men da Disciplene så det, bleve de vrede og sagde: "Hvortil denne Spilde?

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

⁹Dette kunde jo være solgt til en høj Pris og være givet til fattige."

¹⁰However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

¹⁰Men da Jesus mærkede det, sagde han til dem: "Hvorfor volde I Kvinden Fortrædeligheder? Hun har jo gjort en god Gerning imod mig.

¹¹ For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

¹¹Thi de fattige have I altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.

¹² For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

¹²Thi da hun udgød denne Salve over mit Legeme, gjorde hun det for at berede mig til at begraves.

¹³ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”

¹³Sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvor som helst i hele Verden dette Evangelium bliver prædiket, skal også det, som hun har gjort, omtales til hendes Ihukommelse."

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

¹⁴Da gik en af de tolv, han, som hed Judas Iskariot, hen til Ypperstepræsterne

¹⁵and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁵og sagde: "Hvad ville I give mig, så skal jeg forråde ham til eder?" Men de betalte ham tredive Sølvpenge".

¹⁶From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁶Og fra den Stund søgte han Lejlighed til at forråde ham.

¹⁷Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

¹⁷Men på den første Dag af de usyrede Brøds Højtid kom Disciplene til Jesus og sagde: "Hvor vil du, at vi skulle træffe Forberedelse for dig til at spise Påskelammet?"

¹⁸He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”

¹⁸Men han sagde: "Går ind i Staden til den og den Mand, og siger til ham: Mesteren siger: Min Time er nær; hos dig holder jeg Påske med mine Disciple."

¹⁹The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁹Og Disciplene gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem, og beredte Påskelammet.

²⁰Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

²⁰Men da det var blevet Aften, sad han til Bords med de tolv.

²¹As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

²¹Og medens de spiste, sagde han: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, en af eder vil forråde mig."

²²They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”

²²Og de bleve såre bedrøvede og begyndte hver især at sige til ham: "Det er dog vel ikke mig, Herre?"

²³He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.

²³Men han svarede og sagde: "Den, som dyppede Hånden tillige med mig i Fadet, han vil forråde mig.

²⁴ The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²⁴Menneskesønnen går vel bort, som der er skrevet om ham; men ve det Menneske, ved hvem Menneskesønnen bliver forrådt! Det var godt for det Menneske, om han ikke var født."

²⁵Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”

²⁵Men Judas, som forrådte ham, svarede og sagde: "Det er dog vel ikke mig, Rabbi?" Han siger til ham: "Du har sagt det."

²⁶As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for TR reads “blessed” instead of “gave thanks for” it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

²⁶Men medens de spiste, tog Jesus Brød, og han velsignede og brød det og gav Disciplene det og sagde: "Tager, æder; dette er mit Legeme."

²⁷He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,

²⁷Og han tog en Kalk og takkede. gav dem den og sagde: "Drikker alle deraf;

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.

²⁸thi dette er mit Blod, Pagtens, hvilket udgydes for mange til Syndernes Forladelse.

²⁹ But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

²⁹Men jeg siger eder, fra nu af skal jeg ingenlunde drikke af denne Vintræets Frugt indtil den Dag, da jeg skal drikke den ny med eder i min Faders Rige."

³⁰When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

³⁰Og da de havde sunget Lovsangen, gik de ud til Oliebjerget.

³¹Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

³¹Da siger Jesus til dem: "I skulle alle forarges på mig i denne Nat; thi der er skrevet: Jeg vil slå Hyrden, og Hjordens Får skulle adspredes.

³² But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

³²Men efter at jeg er bleven oprejst, vil jeg gå forud for eder til Galilæa."

³³But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

³³Men Peter svarede og sagde til ham: "Om end alle ville forarges på dig, så vil jeg dog aldrig forarges."

³⁴Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

³⁴Jesus sagde til ham: "Sandelig, siger jeg dig, i denne Nat, førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange."

³⁵Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.

³⁵Peter siger til ham: "Om jeg end skulde dø med dig, vil jeg ingenlunde fornægte dig." Ligeså sagde også alle Disciplene.

³⁶Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

³⁶Da kommer Jesus med dem til en Gård, som kaldes Gethsemane, og han siger til Disciplene: "Sætter eder her, medens jeg går derhen og beder."

³⁷He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

³⁷Og han tog Peter og Zebedæus's to Sønner med sig, og han begyndte at bedrøves og svarlig at ængstes.

³⁸Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”

³⁸Da siger han til dem: "Min Sjæl er dybt bedrøvet indtil Døden; bliver her og våger med mig!"

³⁹He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

³⁹Og han gik lidt frem, faldt på sit Ansigt, bad og sagde: "Min Fader! er det muligt, da gå denne Kalk mig forbi; dog ikke som jeg vil, men som du vil."

⁴⁰He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

⁴⁰Og han kommer til Disciplene og finder dem sovende, og han siger til Peter: "Så kunde I da ikke våge een Time med mig!

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴¹Våger og beder, for at I ikke skulle falde i Fristelse! Ånden er vel redebon, men Kødet er skrøbeligt."

⁴²Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”

⁴²Han gik atter anden Gang hen, bad og sagde: "Min Fader! hvis denne Kalk ikke kan gå mig forbi, uden jeg drikker den, da ske din Villie!"

⁴³He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴³Og han kom og fandt dem atter sovende, thi deres Øjne vare betyngede.

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

⁴⁴Og han forlod dem og gik atter hen og bad tredje Gang og sagde atter det samme Ord.

⁴⁵Then he came to his disciples, and said to 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.

⁴⁵Da kommer han til Disciplene og siger til dem: "Sove I fremdeles og Hvile eder? Se, Timen er nær, og Menneskesønnen forrådes i Synderes Hænder.

⁴⁶ Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴⁶Står op, lader os gå; se, han, som forråder mig, er nær."

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

⁴⁷Og medens han endnu talte, se, da kom Judas, en af de tolv, og med ham en stor Skare, med Sværd og Knipler, fra Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste.

⁴⁸Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

⁴⁸Men han, som forrådte ham, havde givet dem et Tegn og sagt: "Den, som jeg kysser, ham er det; griber ham!"

⁴⁹Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁴⁹Og han trådte straks hen til Jesus og sagde: "Hil være dig, Rabbi!" og kyssede ham.

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵⁰Men Jesus sagde til ham: "Ven, hvorfor kommer du her?" Da trådte de til og lagde Hånd på Jesus og grebe ham.

⁵¹Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁵¹Og se, en af dem, som vare med Jesus, rakte Hånden ud og drog sit Sværd og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og huggede hans Øre af.

⁵²Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

⁵²Da siger Jesus til ham: "Stik dit Sværd igen på dets Sted; thi alle de, som tage Sværd, skulle omkomme ved Sværd.

⁵³ Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵³Eller mener du, at jeg ikke kan bede min Fader, så han nu tilskikker mig mere end tolv Legioner Engle?

⁵⁴ How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

⁵⁴Hvorledes skulde da Skrifterne opfyldes, at det bør gå således til?"

⁵⁵In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

⁵⁵I den samme Time sagde Jesus til Skarerne: "I ere gåede ud ligesom imod en Røver med Sværd og Knipler for at fange mig. Daglig sad jeg i Helligdommen og lærte, og I grebe mig ikke.

⁵⁶ But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

⁵⁶Men det er alt sammen sket, for at Profeternes Skrifter skulde opfyldes." Da forlode alle Disciplene ham og flyede.

⁵⁷Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

⁵⁷Men de, som havde grebet Jesus, førte ham hen til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas, hvor de skriftkloge og de Ældste vare forsamlede.

⁵⁸But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁸Men Peter fulgte ham i Frastand indtil Ypperstepræstens Gård, og han gik indenfor og satte sig hos Svendene for at se, hvad Udgang det vilde få.

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁵⁹Men Ypperstepræsterne og hele Rådet søgte falsk Vidnesbyrd imod Jesus, for at de kunde aflive ham.

⁶⁰and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

⁶⁰Og de fandt intet, endskønt der trådte mange falske Vidner frem. Men til sidst trådte to frem og sagde:

⁶¹and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

⁶¹"Denne har sagt: Jeg kan nedbryde Guds Tempel og bygge det op i tre Dage."

⁶²The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

⁶²Og Ypperstepræsten stod op og sagde til ham: "Svarer du intet på, hvad disse vidne imod dig?"

⁶³But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

⁶³Men Jesus tav. Og Ypperstepræsten tog til Orde og sagde til ham: "Jeg besværger dig ved den levende Gud, at du siger os, om du er Kristus, Guds Søn."

⁶⁴Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

⁶⁴Jesus siger til ham: "Du har sagt det; dog jeg siger eder: Fra nu af skulle I se Menneskesønnen sidde ved Kraftens højre Hånd og komme på Himmelens Skyer."

⁶⁵Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁵Da sønderrev Ypperstepræsten sine Klæder og sagde: "Han har talt bespotteligt; hvad have vi længere Vidner nødig? se, nu have I hørt Bespottelsen.

⁶⁶What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

⁶⁶Hvad tykkes eder?" Og de svarede og sagde: "Han er skyldig til Døden."

⁶⁷Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

⁶⁷Da spyttede de ham i Ansigtet og gave ham Næveslag; andre sloge ham på Kinden

⁶⁸saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

⁶⁸og sagde: "Profeter os, Kristus, hvem var det, der slog dig?"

⁶⁹Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

⁶⁹Men Peter sad udenfor i Gården; og en Pige kom hen til ham og sagde: "Også du var med Jesus Galilæeren."

⁷⁰But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

⁷⁰Men han nægtede det i alles Påhør og sagde: "Jeg forstår ikke, hvad du siger."

⁷¹When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁷¹Men da han gik ud i Portrummet, så en anden Pige ham; og hun siger til dem, som vare der: "Denne var med Jesus af Nazareth."

⁷²Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”

⁷²Og han nægtede det atter med en Ed: "Jeg kender ikke det Menneske."

⁷³After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

⁷³Men lidt efter kom de, som stode der, hen og sagde til Peter: "Sandelig, også du er en af dem. dit Mål røber dig jo også."

⁷⁴Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

⁷⁴Da begyndte han at forbande sig og sværge: "Jeg kender ikke det Menneske." Og straks galede Hanen.

⁷⁵Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.

⁷⁵Og Peter kom Jesu Ord i Hu at han havde sagt: "Førend Hanen galer, skal du fornægte mig tre Gange." Og han gik udenfor og græd bitterligt.
