The Lord's Supper

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

14 (J)When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and (K)the apostles with Him.

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

14 When(P) the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

14 Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table, along with his apostles.

15 And he said unto them, With earnest desire have I longed to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

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

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

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

15 He told them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer,

16 for I tell you, that I will no more ever eat of it, until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

16 for I say to you, I shall never again eat it (L)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

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

16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again(b) until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”(Q)

16 because I tell all of you, I will never eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."

17 (M)And when He had taken a cup and (N)given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

17 Then He took a cup,(R) and after giving thanks,(S) He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

17 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves,

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

20 In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant(V) established by My blood;(W) it is shed for you.(c)

20 He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant sealed by my blood, which is being poured out for you.

A Final Discourse

21 But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me at the table.

21 (S)But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with (c)Mine on the table.

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

21 But(X) look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!(Y)

21 Yet look! The hand of the man who is betraying me is with me on the table!

22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, as is decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed!

22 For indeed, the Son of Man is going (T)as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

22 For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined,(Z) but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

22 The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been determined, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom he is betrayed!"

23 And they began to question among themselves, who it could possibly be of them who should do this thing.

23 And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.

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

23 So they began to argue(AA) among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.

23 Then they began to discuss among themselves which one of them was going to do this.

A Dispute About Who Is Greatest

24 Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest.

24 And there arose also (U)a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

24 Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.(AB)

24 Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

25 (V)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

25 But He said to them,(AC) “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called(d) ‘Benefactors.’(e)

25 But he told them, "The kings of the unbelievers lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

26 But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth.

26 But it is not this way with you, (W)but the one who is the greatest among you must become like (X)the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

26 But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest,(AD) and whoever leads, like the one serving.

26 But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads should become like the one who serves.

27 For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

27 For (Y)who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But (Z)I am among you as the one who serves.

27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

27 For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.(AE)

27 Because who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? It is the one at the table, isn't it? But I'm among you as one who serves.

28 Ye are they who have continued with me during my trials.

28 “You are those who have stood by Me in My (AA)trials;

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

28 You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.(AF)

28 "You are the ones who have always stood by me in my trials.

29 And I appoint you, as my Father hath appointed me, a kingdom;

29 and just as My Father has granted Me a (AB)kingdom, I grant you

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

29 I bestow on you a kingdom,(AG) just as My Father bestowed one on Me,

29 And I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred a kingdom on me,

30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

30 that you may (AC)eat and drink at My table in My (AD)kingdom, and (AE)you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom.(AH) And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.(AI)

30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel."

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath earnestly sought you, that he might sift you as wheat:

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (AF)Satan has (d)demanded permission to (AG)sift you like wheat;

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

31 “Simon, Simon,(f) look out! Satan(AJ) has asked to sift you(g) like wheat.(AK)

31 "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked permission to sift all of you like wheat,

32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and when thou art returned, stablish thy brethren.

32 but I (AH)have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, (AI)strengthen your brothers.”

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

32 But I have prayed(AL) for you(h) that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen(AM) your brothers.”

32 but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail. When you have come back, you must strengthen your brothers."

33 Then he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, to prison, and to death!

33 (AJ)But he said to Him, “Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!”

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

33 “Lord,”(AN) he told Him, “I’m ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”

33 Peter told him, "Lord, I am ready to go even to prison and to die with you!"

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou shalt thrice deny having known me.

34 And He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

34 “I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until(i) you deny three times that you know Me!”

34 But Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me."

The Two Swords

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or sandals, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

35 And He said to them, (AK)When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.”

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

35 He also said to them, “When I sent you out(AO) without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”“Not a thing,” they said.

35 Then Jesus asked his disciples, "When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing at all."

36 Then said he to them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him also take a scrip: and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

36 And He said to them, “But now, (e)whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and (f)whoever has no sword is to sell his (g)coat and buy one.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

36 Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one.

36 Then he told them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

37 For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.

37 For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘(AL)And He was numbered with transgressors’; for (AM)that which refers to Me has its (h)fulfillment.”

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws.(AP)(j) Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.”(AQ)

37 Because I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: "He was counted among the criminals.' Indeed, what is written about me must be fulfilled."

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

38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two (AN)swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

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

38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”“Enough of that!”(k) He told them.

38 So they said, "Lord, look! Here are two swords." He answered them, "Enough of that!"

The Prayer In Gethsemane

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

39 (AO)And He came out and proceeded (AP)as was His custom to (AQ)the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup(AX) away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”

42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done."

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

43 (i)Now an (AW)angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

43 [Then an angel from heaven(AY) appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

44 And being in an agony, he prayed with greater intenseness: and his sweat was as clots of blood falling on the ground.

44 And (AX)being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

44 Being in anguish,(AZ) He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.](l)

44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like large drops of blood falling on the ground.

45 And when he rose up from prayer, on coming to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow.

45 When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46 and said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and (AY)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”

46 He asked them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not be tempted."

The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus

47 And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and approached Jesus to kiss him.

47 (AZ)While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

47 While(BA) He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,

47 While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them, and he came close to Jesus to kiss him.

48 Then said Jesus unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

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

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

48 But Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49 Then when they who were about him saw what was ready to happen, they said unto him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

49 When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the (BA)sword?”

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”

49 When those who were around Jesus saw what was about to take place, they asked, "Lord, should we attack with our swords?"

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

50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

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

50 Then one of them struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear.

50 Then one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.

51 Then Jesus, addressing them, said, Permit me thus far: and touching his ear, he healed him.

51 But Jesus answered and said, (j)Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

51 But Jesus responded, “No more of this!”(n) And touching his ear, He healed him.

51 But Jesus said, "No more of this!" So he touched the wounded man's ear and healed him.

52 Then said Jesus to the chief priests and captains of the temple, and to the elders who were come forth against him, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves?

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and (BB)officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs (BC)as you would against a robber?

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?(o)

52 Then Jesus told the high priests, the Temple police, and the elders, who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched out no hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

53 While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but (k)this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

53 Every day while I was with you in the temple complex,(BB) you never laid a hand on Me. But this is your hour(BC)—and the dominion of darkness.”(BD)

53 While I was with you day after day in the Temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!"

Jesus Before The Sanhedrin

54 Then seizing upon him, they led him away, and brought him into the palace of the high-priest. But Peter followed at a distance.

54 (BD)Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but (BE)Peter was following at a distance.

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

54 They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter(BE) was following at a distance.

54 Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.

55 And as they had lighted a fire in the middle of the hall, and had seated themselves in a company, Peter sat down in the midst of them.

55 (BF)After they had kindled a fire in the middle of (BG)the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

55 They(BF) lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard(BG) and sat down together, and Peter sat among them.

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

56 But a certain maid-servant who sat at the fire, eyeing him, and looking at him stedfastly, said, This man was also with him.

56 And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.”

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

56 When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with Him too.”

56 A servant girl saw him sitting by the fire, stared at him, and said, "This man was with him, too."

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

57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

57 But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know Him!”

57 But he denied it, "I don't know him, woman!" he responded.

58 And after a little while another seeing him, said, Surely thou art one of them. Then said Peter, Man, I am not.

58 A little later, (BH)another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

58 After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too!”“Man, I am not!” Peter said.

58 A little later, a man looked at him and said, "You are one of them, too." But Peter said, "Mister, I am not!"

59 And at about an hour's distance, another person strongly asserted, saying, Of a certainty this fellow was also with him: for he too is a Galilean.

59 After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, (BI)for he is a Galilean too.”

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

59 About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with Him, since he’s also a Galilean.”

59 About an hour later, another man emphatically asserted, "This man was certainly with him, because he is a Galilean!"

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And instantly, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

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

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

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

60 But Peter said, "Mister, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61 And the Lord, turning round, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, That before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

61 (BJ)The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, (BK)Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

61 Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter.(BH) So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”(BI)

61 Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered the word from the Lord, and how he had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

62 And Peter going without, wept bitterly.

62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

62 So he went outside and cried bitterly.

Jesus Mocked And Beaten

63 And the men who held Jesus insulted him, beating him with rods;

63 (BL)Now the men who were holding (l)Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

63 The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.(BJ)

63 Then the men who were holding Jesus in custody began to make fun of him while they beat him.

64 and blindfolding him, smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is he that struck thee?

64 and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, “(BM)Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?”

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

64 After blindfolding Him, they kept(p) asking, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

64 They blindfolded him and asked him over and over again, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"

65 And many other things, blaspheming, spake they against him.

65 And they were saying many other things against Him, (BN)blaspheming.

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

65 And they were saying many other blasphemous(BK) things against Him.

65 And they kept insulting him in many other ways.

Jesus Before The Sanhedrin

66 And when the day broke, the elders of the people and the chief priests and scribes assembled, and brought him into their sanhedrim, saying,

66 (BO)When it was day, (BP)the (m)Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their (BQ)council chamber, saying,

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

66 When daylight came,(BL) the elders(q) of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes,(BM) convened and brought Him before their Sanhedrin.(BN)

66 As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled and brought him before their Council.

67 If thou art the Messiah, tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

67 (BR)If You are the (n)Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

67 They said,(BO) “If You are the Messiah, tell us.”But He said to them, “If I do tell you, you will not believe.

67 They said, "If you are the Messiah, tell us."

68 and if I shall ask you any question, ye will neither answer me, nor let me go free.

68 and if I ask a question, you will not answer.

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

68 And if I ask you, you will not answer.

68 But he told them, "If I tell you, you won't believe me, and if I ask you a question, you won't answer me.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit at the right hand of the power of God.

69 (BS)But from now on (BT)the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.”(BP)

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Yourselves say that I am.

70 And they all said, “Are You (BU)the Son of God, then?” And He said to them, (o)(BV)Yes, I am.”

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

70 They all asked, “Are You, then, the Son of God?”(BQ)And He said to them, “You say that I am.”(BR)

70 Then they all asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He answered them, "You said it I AM."

71 Then they said, What further need have we of witness? for we have heard it from his own mouth.

71 Then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

71 “Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from His mouth?”

71 "Why do we need any more testimony?" they asked. "We have heard it ourselves from his own mouth!"
