- Kapitel 22 -

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.

And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)

And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)

And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.

And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.

But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?

And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.

And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?

And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.

And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

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

For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:

For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.

And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.

And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Who Is the Greatest?

And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.

And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.

But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.

For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:

And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:

And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;

That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38)

And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:

When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?

But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.

For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.

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

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)

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

And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,

Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.

And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.

And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)

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

And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

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

But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?

When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15–18)

And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.

Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.

But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.

And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.

And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.

And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

And Peter going out, wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; John 19:1–15)

And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.

And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)

And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.

And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.

And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.

But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.

And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.

(Matthew 26:1–5; Mark 14:1–2; John 11:45–57)

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

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

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

(Matthew 26:14–16; Mark 14:10–11)

Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

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

They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

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

Preparing the Passover

(Matthew 26:17–19; Mark 14:12–16)

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

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

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

He 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.

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?”’

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

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

The Last Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

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

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

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

Who Is the Greatest?

A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

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

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

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 among you as one who serves.

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

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

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

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

(Matthew 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38)

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

but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.” (a)

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

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

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

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

For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ (b) For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”

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

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

(Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42)

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

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

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

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

An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

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

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

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

The Betrayal of Jesus

(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; John 18:1–14)

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

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

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

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

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

Jesus 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?

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.”

Peter Denies Jesus

(Matthew 26:69–75; Mark 14:66–72; John 18:15–18)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.”

He went out, and wept bitterly.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; John 19:1–15)

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

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

They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; John 18:19–24)

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

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

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

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

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

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