Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
1 Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes, dixit discipulis suis:
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
2 Scitis quia post biduum Pascha fiet, et Filius hominis tradetur ut crucifigatur.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
ℵBA omit
and the elders of the peopleB* omit
, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,3 Tunc congregati sunt principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, in atrium principis sacerdotum, qui dicebatur Caiphas:
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him
B* omit
.4 et consilium fecerunt ut Jesum dolo tenerent, et occiderent.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
5 Dicebant autem: Non in die festo, ne forte tumultus fieret in populo.
6 ¶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6 ¶ Cum autem Jesus esset in Bethania in domo Simonis leprosi,
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
7 accessit ad eum mulier habens alabastrum unguenti pretiosi, et effudit super caput ipsius recumbentis.
8 But when his
ℵ ⟨the⟩
disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?8 Videntes autem discipuli, indignati sunt, dicentes: Ut quid perditio hæc?
9 For this ointment
ℵBA omit
might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.9 potuit enim istud venundari multo, et dari pauperibus.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
10 Sciens autem Jesus, ait illis: Quid molesti estis huic mulieri? opus enim bonum operata est in me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
11 Nam semper pauperes habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
12 Mittens enim hæc unguentum hoc in corpus meum, ad sepeliendum me fecit.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
13 Amen dico vobis, ubicumque prædicatum fuerit hoc Evangelium in toto mundo, dicetur et quod hæc fecit in memoriam ejus.
14 ¶ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
14 ¶ Tunc abiit unus de duodecim, qui dicebatur Judas Iscariotes, ad principes sacerdotum:
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
15 et ait illis: Quid vultis mihi dare, et ego vobis eum tradam? At illi constituerunt ei triginta argenteos.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
16 Et exinde quærebat opportunitatem ut eum traderet.
17 ¶ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him
ℵB omit
, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?17 ¶ Prima autem die azymorum accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Ubi vis paremus tibi comedere Pascha?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
18 At Jesus dixit: Ite in civitatem ad quemdam, et dicite ei: Magister dicit: Tempus meum prope est, apud te facio Pascha cum discipulis meis.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
19 Et fecerunt discipuli sicut constituit illis Jesus, et paraverunt Pascha.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve
ℵA ⟨twelve disciples⟩
.20 Vespere autem facto, discumbebat cum duodecim discipulis suis.
21 And as they did eat, he said
ℵ ⟨saith⟩
, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.21 Et edentibus illis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, quia unus vestrum me traditurus est.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them
ℵB omit
to say unto him, Lord, is it I?22 Et contristati valde, cœperunt singuli dicere: Numquid ego sum Domine?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
23 At ipse respondens, ait: Qui intingit mecum manum in paropside, hic me tradet.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
24 Filius quidem hominis vadit, sicut scriptum est de illo: væ autem homini illi, per quem Filius hominis tradetur! bonum erat ei, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said
ℵ ⟨Jesus saith⟩
unto him, Thou hast said.25 Respondens autem Judas, qui tradidit eum, dixit: Numquid ego sum Rabbi? Ait illi: Tu dixisti.
26 ¶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,
A ⟨the bread, and gave thanks⟩
and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.26 ¶ Cœnantibus autem eis, accepit Jesus panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, deditque discipulis suis, et ait: Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
27 Et accipiens calicem, gratias egit: et dedit illis, dicens: Bibite ex hoc omnes.
28 For this is my blood of the new
ℵB omit
testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.28 Hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti, qui pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
29 Dico autem vobis: non bibam amodo de hoc genimine vitis usque in diem illum, cum illud bibam vobiscum novum in regno Patris mei.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
30 ¶ Et hymno dicto, exierunt in montem Oliveti.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
31 Tunc dicit illis Jesus: Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte. Scriptum est enim: Percutiam pastorem, et dispergentur oves gregis.
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
32 Postquam autem resurrexero, præcedam vos in Galilæam.
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though
ℵBA ⟨If⟩, ℵ* omit
all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I neverℵBA ⟨I will never⟩
be offended.33 Respondens autem Petrus, ait illi: Et si omnes scandalizati fuerint in te, ego numquam scandalizabor.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
34 Ait illi Jesus: Amen dico tibi, quia in hac nocte, antequam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
35 Ait illi Petrus: Etiamsi oportuerit me mori tecum, non te negabo. Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt.
36 ¶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane
ℵBA ⟨Gethsemani⟩
, and saith unto theℵA ⟨his⟩
disciples, Sit ye hereℵ omit
, while I go and pray yonder.36 ¶ Tunc venit Jesus cum illis in villam, quæ dicitur Gethsemani, et dixit discipulis suis: Sedete hic donec vadam illuc, et orem.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
37 Et assumpto Petro, et duobus filiis Zebedæi, cœpit contristari et mœstus esse.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
38 Tunc ait illis: Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: sustinete hic, et vigilate mecum.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
39 Et progressus pusillum, procidit in faciem suam, orans, et dicens: Pater mi, si possibile est, transeat a me calix iste: verumtamen non sicut ego volo, sed sicut tu.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
40 Et venit ad discipulos suos, et invenit eos dormientes, et dicit Petro: Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
41 Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem. Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
B omit
O my Father, if this cupℵBA omit
may not pass away from meℵB omit
, except I drink it, thy will be done.42 Iterum secundo abiit, et oravit, dicens: Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua.
43 And he came and found them asleep again
ℵB ⟨he came again and found them asleep⟩
: for their eyes were heavy.43 Et venit iterum, et invenit eos dormientes: erant enim oculi eorum gravati.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time
A omit
, saying the same wordsℵ ⟨same words again⟩
.44 Et relictis illis, iterum abiit, et oravit tertio, eumdem sermonem dicens.
45 Then cometh he to his
ℵBA ⟨the⟩
disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: beholdB ⟨for behold⟩
, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.45 Tunc venit ad discipulos suos, et dicit illis: Dormite jam, et requiescite: ecce appropinquavit hora, et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
46 Surgite, eamus: ecce appropinquavit qui me tradet.
47 ¶ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
47 ¶ Adhuc eo loquente, ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit, et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus, missi a principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
48 Qui autem tradidit eum, dedit illis signum, dicens: Quemcumque osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
49 Et confestim accedens ad Jesum, dixit: Ave Rabbi. Et osculatus est eum.
50 And Jesus
ℵ ⟨But he⟩
said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.50 Dixitque illi Jesus: Amice, ad quid venisti? Tunc accesserunt, et manus injecerunt in Jesum, et tenuerunt eum.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
B ⟨him⟩
stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.51 Et ecce unus ex his qui erant cum Jesu, extendens manum, exemit gladium suum, et percutiens servum principis sacerdotum amputavit auriculam ejus.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
52 Tunc ait illi Jesus: Converte gladium tuum in locum suum: omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now
ℵB omit
pray to my Father, and he shall presently give meℵ* ⟨give me here⟩
more than twelve legions of angels?53 An putas, quia non possum rogare patrem meum, et exhibebit mihi modo plusquam duodecim legiones angelorum?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
54 Quomodo ergo implebuntur Scripturæ, quia sic oportet fieri?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you
ℵB omit
teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.55 In illa hora dixit Jesus turbis: Tamquam ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus comprehendere me: quotidie apud vos sedebam docens in templo, et non me tenuistis.
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the
B ⟨his⟩
disciples forsook him, and fled.56 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimplerentur Scripturæ prophetarum. Tunc discipuli omnes, relicto eo, fugerunt.
57 ¶ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
57 ¶ At illi tenentes Jesum, duxerunt ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribæ et seniores convenerant.
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
58 Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, usque in atrium principis sacerdotum. Et ingressus intro, sedebat cum ministris, ut videret finem.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders,
ℵB omit
and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;59 Principes autem sacerdotum, et omne concilium, quærebant falsum testimonium contra Jesum, ut eum morti traderent:
60 But found none: yea
ℵB ⟨none⟩
, though many false witnesses came, yet found they noneℵB omit
. At the last came two false witnessesℵB omit; A* ⟨witnesses⟩
,60 et non invenerunt, cum multi falsi testes accessissent. Novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes,
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
61 et dixerunt: Hic dixit: Possum destruere templum Dei, et post triduum reædificare illud.
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
ℵ* omit
62 Et surgens princeps sacerdotum, ait illi: Nihil respondes ad ea, quæ isti adversum te testificantur?
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him,
ℵ* omit; ℵ2B omit ⟨answered and⟩
I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.63 Jesus autem tacebat. Et princeps sacerdotum ait illi: Adjuro te per Deum vivum, ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
64 Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dixisti. Verumtamen dico vobis, amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis Dei, et venientem in nubibus cæli.
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
ℵ* ⟨Behold, he hath spoken⟩
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard hisℵ ⟨the⟩
blasphemy.65 Tunc princeps sacerdotum scidit vestimenta sua, dicens: Blasphemavit: quid adhuc egemus testibus? ecce nunc audistis blasphemiam:
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
66 quid vobis videtur? At illi respondentes dixerunt: Reus est mortis.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
67 Tunc exspuerunt in faciem ejus, et colaphis eum ceciderunt, alii autem palmas in faciem ejus dederunt,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
68 dicentes: Prophetiza nobis Christe, quis est qui te percussit?
69 ¶ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
69 ¶ Petrus vero sedebat foris in atrio: et accessit ad eum una ancilla, dicens: Et tu cum Jesu Galilæo eras.
70 But he denied before them all
A ⟨before them all⟩
, saying, I know not what thou sayest.70 At ille negavit coram omnibus, dicens: Nescio quid dicis.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
71 Exeunte autem illo januam, vidit eum alia ancilla, et ait his qui erant ibi: Et hic erat cum Jesu Nazareno.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
72 Et iterum negavit cum juramento: Quia non novi hominem.
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
73 Et post pusillum accesserunt qui stabant, et dixerunt Petro: Vere et tu ex illis es: nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
74 Tunc cœpit detestari et jurare quia non novisset hominem. Et continuo gallus cantavit.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him
ℵB omit
, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.75 Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu, quod dixerat: Priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis. Et egressus foras, flevit amare.
