Matthew 26 — OURB
26Verse 1When Yeshua [Salvation] had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,Verse 2“You know that the Pesac ·Passover· is two days away (Nissan 12), and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be nailed to the execution-stake.”Verse 3+Then the chief priests, the Torah-Teachers, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out].Verse 4They took counsel together that they might take Yeshua [Salvation] by deceit, and kill him.Verse 5But they said, “Not during the festival of Passover, lest a riot occur among the people.”Verse 6Now when Yeshua [Salvation] was in Bethany [House of affliction], in the house of Simeon [Hearing] the leper,Verse 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.Verse 8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?Verse 9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”Verse 10However, knowing this, Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.Verse 11For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.Verse 12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.Verse 13Most 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.”Verse 14++Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot [Praised Dagger-man], went to the chief priests,Verse 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.Verse 16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.Verse 17Now on the first of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· (Nissan 14), the disciples came to Yeshua [Salvation], saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare your Seder ·Order / Passover meal·?”Verse 18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Rabbi ·Teacher· says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Pesac ·Passover· at your house with my disciples.”’”Verse 19The disciples did as Yeshua [Salvation] commanded them, and they prepared the Seder ·Order / Passover meal·.Verse 20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.Verse 21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”Verse 22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It is not me, is it, Lord?”Verse 23He answered, “He who dipped his matzah ·unleavened bread· with me in the dish (of bitter herbs), the same will betray me.Verse 24The Son of Man will die+just 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.”Verse 25Judas [Praised], who betrayed him, answered, “It is not me, is it, Rabbi ·Teacher·?” He said to him, “You said it.”Verse 26As they were eating, Yeshua [Salvation] took matzah ·unleavened bread·, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”Verse 27+He took the (third) cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,Verse 28for+++this is my blood of the new covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which is poured out for many for the remission of abstract sins ·miss the marks·.Verse 29But 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 'Avi ·my Father·’s Kingdom.”Verse 30When they had sung the Hallel Psalms [Praise Praises], they went out to the Mount of Olives.Verse 31Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “All of you will be made to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant· because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’+Verse 32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee [District, Circuit].”Verse 33But Peter [Rock] answered him, “Even if all men feel scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant· because of you, I will never be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, never.”Verse 34Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”Verse 35Peter [Rock] said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.Verse 36Then Yeshua [Salvation] came with them to a place called Gethsemane [Olive oil press], and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”Verse 37He took with him Peter [Rock] and the two sons of Zebedee [Bestowed by Yah], and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.Verse 38+Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”Verse 39He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “ 'Avi ·my Father·, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”Verse 40He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter [Rock], “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?Verse 41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Verse 42Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “'Avi ·my Father·, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”Verse 43He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.Verse 44He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.Verse 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 sinner ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal·.Verse 46Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”Verse 47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas [Praised], one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with machairon ·machetes, small sword knives· and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.Verse 48++Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I phileo ·affectionately love, kiss·, he is the one. Seize him.”Verse 49Immediately he came to Yeshua [Salvation], and said, “ Shalom ·Complete peace·, Rabbi ·Teacher·!” and kissed him.Verse 50Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua [Salvation], and took him.Verse 51Behold, one of those who were with Yeshua [Salvation] stretched out his hand, and drew his machaira ·machete, small sword knife·, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.Verse 52Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Put your machaira ·machete, small sword knife· back into its place, for all those who take the machaira ·machete, small sword knife· will die by the machaira ·machete, small sword knife·.Verse 53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask 'Avi ·my Father·, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions+of angels?Verse 54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”Verse 55In that hour Yeshua [Salvation] said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with machairon ·machetes, small sword knives· and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.Verse 56+But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”Then all the disciples left him, and fled.Verse 57Those who had taken Yeshua [Salvation] led him away to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] the high priest, where the Torah-Teachers and the elders were gathered together.Verse 58But Peter [Rock] followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.Verse 59Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Yeshua [Salvation], that they might put him to death;Verse 60and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward,+they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,Verse 61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”Verse 62The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”Verse 63++But Yeshua [Salvation] held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the Elohim Chayim [Living God], that you tell us whether you are the Messiah [Anointed one], the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”Verse 64+Yeshua [Salvation] 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.”+Verse 65+Then the high priest tore his, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.Verse 66What do you think?”They answered, “He is worthy of death!”Verse 67Then they+++spit in his face+and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,Verse 68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah [Anointed one]! Who hit you?”Verse 69Now Peter [Rock] was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Yeshua [Salvation], the Galilean!”Verse 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”Verse 71When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”Verse 72Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”Verse 73After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter [Rock], “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”Verse 74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.Verse 75Peter [Rock] remembered the word which Yeshua [Salvation] had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.
