The Chief Priests And Scribes Plot To Kill Jesus

1 Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:

1 (A)Now (B)the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes (C)were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him;

1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

1 After(A) two days it was the Passover(B) and the Festival(C) of Unleavened Bread.(D) The chief priests and the scribes(E) were looking for a treacherous(F) way to arrest and kill Him.(G)

1 Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death,

2 for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

2 for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people.”

2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

2 “Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”

2 because they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."

3 (D)While He was in (E)Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very (F)costly perfume of pure (a)nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

3 While(H) He was in Bethany(I) at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease,(J) as He was reclining at the table,(K) a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.(L)

3 While Jesus was in Bethany sitting at the table in the home of Simon the leper, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

4 But there were some that had indignation among themselves,'saying , To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?

4 But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

4 But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this fragrant oil been wasted?

4 Irritated, some who were there asked one another, "Why was the perfume wasted like this?

5 For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

5 For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred (b)denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

5 For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii(M) and given to the poor.”(N) And they began to scold her.

5 This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute." So they got extremely angry with her.

6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

6 Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing(O) for Me.

6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me,

7 For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.

7 For you always have (G)the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

7 You always have the poor(P) with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me.(Q)

7 because you'll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won't always have me.

8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

8 She has done what she could; (H)she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

8 She has done what she could; she has anointed My body(R) in advance for burial.(S)

8 She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.

9 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

9 Truly I say to you, (I)wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

9 I assure you:(T) Wherever the gospel(U) is proclaimed in the whole world,(V) what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

9 I tell all of you with certainty, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

33 And He *took with Him Peter and (n)James and John, and began to be very (AC)distressed and troubled.

33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

33 He took Peter,(BN) James,(BO) and John(BP) with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified.

33 He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to feel distressed and troubled.

35 Going on a little farther, he fell to the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.

36 And He was saying, (AF)Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; (AG)yet not what I will, but what You will.”

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

36 And He said, “Abba,(BS) Father!(BT) All things are possible(BU) for You. Take this cup(BV) away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

36 He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?

37 And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

37 Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon,(BW) are you sleeping?” He asked Peter.(BX) “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

37 When he went back, he found his disciples asleep. "Simon, are you asleep?" he asked Peter. "You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

38 (AH)Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

38 Stay awake and pray(BY) so that you won’t enter into temptation.(BZ) The spirit(CA) is willing, but the flesh(CB) is weak.”

38 All of you must stay awake and pray that you won't be tempted. The spirit is indeed willing, but the body is weak."

39 And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same (p)words.

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

39 Once again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

39 He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before.

40 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

40 And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

40 And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.(j) They did not know what to say to Him.(CC)

40 Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

41 And He *came the third time, and *said to them, (q)Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; (AI)the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being (r)betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

42 Get up;(CF) let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”

44 Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him, and lead him safely away."

45 And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.

45 After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, “(AK)Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

45 So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi!”(CL)—and kissed Him.

48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

48 But Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal,(k) to capture Me?

48 Jesus asked them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

49 Every day I was with you (AL)in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

49 Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex,(CM) and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures(CN) must be fulfilled.”(CO)

54 And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire .

54 Peter had followed Him at a distance, (AN)right into (AO)the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the (w)officers and (AP)warming himself at the (x)fire.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole (y)(AQ)Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(CX) were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,(CY) but they could find none.

55 Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

56 For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.

56 For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

58 “We heard Him say, ‘(AR)I will destroy this (z)temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

59 And not even so did their witness agree together.

59 Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

59 Yet their testimony did not agree(DB) even on this.

59 But even on this point their testimony didn't agree.

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

60 The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? (aa)What is it that these men are testifying against You?”

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.

65 Some began to (AY)spit at Him, and (ad)(AZ)to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “(BA)Prophesy!” And the officers (ae)received Him with (af)slaps in the face.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

66 And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;

66 (BB)As Peter was below in (BC)the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came,

66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

66 While(DS) Peter(DT) was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s servants came.

66 While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's servant girls came by.

67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus.

67 and seeing Peter (BD)warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with Jesus the (BE)Nazarene.”

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene,(DU) Jesus.”

67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she glared at him and said, "You, too, were with Jesus from Nazareth."

68 But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he (BF)went out onto the (ag)porch.(ah)

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

68 But he denied it: “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed.(r)

68 But he denied it, saying, "I don't know or even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

69 And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

69 The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”

69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

69 When the servant saw him again she began to tell those standing nearby, “This man is one of them!”

69 The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

70 But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

70 But again (BG)he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, (BH)for you are a Galilean too.”

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

70 But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean!”(s)(DV)

70 Again he denied it. After a little while, the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, "Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!"

71 But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

71 But he began to (ai)curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

71 Then he started to curse(t) and to swear with an oath,(DW) “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

71 Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"

72 And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

72 Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before (BI)a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” (aj)And he began to weep.
