Matthew 26— TYN

¹And it followed:(came to pass) when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples:

²Ye know that after two days shall be ester, and the son of man shall be delivered to be crucified.

³Then assembled together the chief priests and (the) scribes and seniors(the elders) of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiphas:

⁴and held a counsel, how they might take Jesus by subtlety,(disceate) and kill him;

⁵but they said, not on the holy day, lest any trouble(uproar) arise among the people.

⁶When Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board.(table)

⁸When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying: What needed this waste?(they disdained, and said: Where to serveth this waste?)

⁹This ointment might have been well sold, and given to the poor.

¹⁰When Jesus understood(perceived) that, he said unto them: Why trouble ye the woman? she hath wrought a good work upon me.

¹¹For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always.

¹²And in that she casted(poured) this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me withal.(with all.)

¹³Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel(gospell) shall be preached throughout all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

¹⁴Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot went unto the chief priests,

¹⁵and said: What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they appointed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷The first day of unleavened(sweet) bread the disciples came to Jesus saying unto him: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the ester(paschal) lamb?

¹⁸And he said: Go into the city, unto such a man, and say to him: the master saith, my time is almost come,(at hand) I will keep mine ester at thy house with my disciples.

¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and made ready the ester lamb.

²⁰When the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

²¹And as they did eat, he said: Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²²And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him: Is it I master?

²³He answered and said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, (the same) shall betray me.

²⁴The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born.

²⁵Then Judas which betrayed him, answered and said: Is it I master? He said unto him: Thou hast said.

²⁶As they did ate,(eat) Jesus took bread and gave thanks, brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said: Take, eat, this is my body.

²⁷And he took the cup, and gave thanks,(thanked) and gave it them, saying: Drink of it every one.

²⁸This is my blood of the new testament, which(that) shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness(remission) of sins.

²⁹I say unto you: I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine tree, until that day, when I shall drink it new with you in my father's kingdom.

³⁰And when they had said grace, they went out into mount olivet.

³¹Then said Jesus unto them: All ye shall fall this night because of me.(all ye shall be offended by me this night) For it is written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³²But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³Peter answered, and said unto him: Though all men should be hurt(offended) by thee, yet would I not be hurt.(never be offended.)

³⁴Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto thee, that this same night before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵Peter said unto him: If I should die with thee, yet will(would) I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁶Then went Jesus with them into a place, which is called Gethsemane, and said unto his(the) disciples: Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder.

³⁷And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebede, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony.

³⁸Then said Jesus unto them: My soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry ye here: and watch with me.

³⁹And he went away a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed saying: O my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁰And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter: What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴¹Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴²He went away once more, and prayed, saying: O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled.

⁴³And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.

⁴⁵Then came he to his disciples and said unto them: Sleep henceforth, and take your rest. Take heed the hour is at hand, and the son of man shall be betrayed(delivered) into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶Rise, let us be going, (behold,) he is at hand that shall betray me.

⁴⁷While he yet spake, lo, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and seniors(elders) of the people.

⁴⁸(And) He that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying: Whosoever I kiss, that(the) same is he, lay hands on him.

⁴⁹And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said: Hail master. And kissed him.

⁵⁰And Jesus said unto him: friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

⁵¹And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear.

⁵²Then said Jesus unto him: Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword.

⁵³Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me (even now) more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴(But) How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, for so must it be.

⁵⁵The same time said Jesus to the multitude: Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not.

⁵⁶All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

⁵⁷And they took Jesus and led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the seniors(elders) were assembled.(gathered together)

⁵⁸(And) Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.

⁵⁹The chief priests, and the seniors,(elders) and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death,

⁶⁰and they(but) found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹and said: This fellow said: I can destroy(break down) the temple of God, and build the same(it again) in three days.

⁶²And the chief priest arose, and said to him: Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness(testify) against thee?

⁶³But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him: I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God.

⁶⁴Jesus said to 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 come in the clouds of the sky.(heaven)

⁶⁵Then the high priest rent his clothes saying? He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Lo,(Behold) now have ye heard his blasphemy:

⁶⁶What think ye? They answered and said: He is worthy to die.(guilty of death)

⁶⁷Then spat they in his face, and beat(buffeted) him with their fists. And other smote him with the palm of their hands on the face,

⁶⁸saying: Areed to us(Prophecie)(Tell us thou) Christ, who is he that smote thee?

⁶⁹Peter sat without in the palace, and a damsel came to him, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee:

⁷⁰(but) he denied before them all saying: I wot not what thou sayest.

⁷¹When he was gone out into the porch, another wench saw him, and said unto them that were there: This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth:

⁷²And again he denied with an oath,(that he knew the man.) and said: I know not the man.

⁷³And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter: Surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee.

⁷⁴Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

⁷⁵And Peter remembered the words of Jesu, which he said unto him: before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice: and went out at the doors and wept bitterly.
