Matthew 26 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

[fn]Now ^G2532 it happened ^G1096 that when ^G3753 Jesus ^G2424 had finished ^G5055 all ^G3956 these ^G3778 words ^G3056, He said ^G3004 to His disciples ^G3101,

Then ^G5119 the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 and the elders ^G4245 of the people ^G2992 were gathered ^G4863 together ^G4863 in the court ^G833 of the high ^G749 priest ^G749, named ^G3004 Caiaphas ^G2533;

Now ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 was in Bethany ^G963, at the home ^G3614 of Simon ^G4613 the leper ^G3015,

Then ^G5119 one ^G1520 of the twelve ^G1427, named ^G3004 Judas ^G2455 Iscariot ^G2469, went ^G4198 to the chief ^G749 priests ^G749

Now ^G1161 on the first ^G4413 day of Unleavened ^G106 Bread the disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 to Jesus ^G2424, saying ^G3004, “Where ^G4226 do You want ^G2309 us to prepare ^G2090 for You to eat ^G2068 the Passover ^G3957?”

Now ^G1161 when evening ^G3798 came ^G1096, Jesus was reclining ^G345 at the table with the twelve ^G1427 disciples ^G3101.

Now while they were eating ^G2068, Jesus ^G2424 took ^G2983 some bread ^G740, and [fn]after a blessing ^G2127, He broke ^G2806 it. And giving ^G1325 it to the disciples ^G3101, He said ^G3004, “Take ^G2983, eat ^G2068; this ^G3778 is My body ^G4983.”

And after singing ^G5214 a ^G5214 hymn ^G5214, they went ^G1831 out ^G1831 to the Mount ^G3735 of Olives ^G1636.

Then ^G5119 Jesus ^G2424 *said ^G3004 to them, “You will all ^G3956 [fn]fall ^G4624 away ^G4624 because ^G1722 of Me this ^G3778 night ^G3571, for it is written ^G1125, ‘I WILL STRIKE ^G3960 DOWN ^G3960 THE SHEPHERD ^G4166, AND THE SHEEP ^G4263 OF THE FLOCK ^G4167 SHALL BE SCATTERED ^G1287.’

Then ^G5119 Jesus ^G2424 *came ^G2064 with them to a place ^G5564 called ^G3004 Gethsemane ^G1068, and *said ^G3004 to His disciples ^G3101, “Sit ^G2523 here ^G847 while ^G2193 I go ^G565 over ^G565 there ^G1563 and pray ^G4336.”

And He went ^G4281 a little ^G3398 beyond ^G4281 them, and fell ^G4098 on His face ^G4383 and prayed ^G4336, saying ^G3004, “My Father ^G3962, if ^G1487 it is possible ^G1415, let this ^G3778 cup ^G4221 pass ^G3928 from Me; yet ^G4133 not as I will ^G2309, but as You will.”

He went ^G565 away ^G565 again ^G3825 a second ^G1208 time ^G1208 and prayed ^G4336, saying ^G3004, “My Father ^G3962, if ^G1487 this ^G3778 cannot ^G1410 G3756 pass ^G3928 away ^G3928 unless ^G1437 G3361 I drink ^G4095 it, Your will ^G2307 be done ^G1096.”

And ^G2532 while He was still ^G2089 speaking ^G2980, behold ^G2400, Judas ^G2455, one ^G1520 of the twelve ^G1427, came ^G2064 up, and ^G2532 with ^G3326 him ^G846 was a large ^G4183 crowd ^G3793 with swords ^G3162 and clubs ^G3586, who came from the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 and elders ^G4245 of the people ^G2992.

And behold ^G2400, one ^G1520 of those ^G3588 who ^G3588 were with Jesus ^G2424 stretched ^G1614 out ^G1614 his hand ^G5495 and drew ^G645 out ^G1614 his sword ^G3162 and struck ^G3960 the slave ^G1401 of the high ^G749 priest ^G749 and [fn]cut ^G851 off ^G851 his ear ^G5621.

At that time ^G5610 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G3004 to the crowds ^G3793, “Have you come ^G1831 out ^G1831 with swords ^G3162 and clubs ^G3586 to arrest ^G4815 Me as you would against ^G1909 a robber ^G3027? Every ^G2596 day ^G2250 I used to sit ^G2516 in the temple ^G2413 teaching ^G1321 and you did not seize ^G2902 Me.

Now those ^G3588 who had seized ^G2902 Jesus ^G2424 led ^G520 Him away ^G520 to Caiaphas ^G2533, the high ^G749 priest ^G749, where ^G3699 the scribes ^G1122 and the elders ^G4245 were gathered ^G4863 together ^G4863.

Now ^G1161 the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 and the whole ^G3650 Sanhedrin ^G4892 kept trying ^G2212 to ^G2212 obtain ^G2212 false ^G5577 testimony ^G5577 against ^G2596 Jesus ^G2424, so ^G3704 that they might put ^G2289 Him to ^G2289 death ^G2289.

Then ^G5119 the high ^G749 priest ^G749 tore ^G1284 his garments ^G2440 and said ^G3004, “He has blasphemed ^G987! What ^G5101 further ^G2089 need ^G5532 do we have ^G2192 of witnesses ^G3144? Behold ^G2396, you have now ^G3568 heard ^G191 the blasphemy ^G988;

Then ^G5119 they spat ^G1716 in His face ^G4383 and beat ^G2852 Him with ^G2852 their fists ^G2852; and others ^G3588 [fn]slapped ^G4474 Him,

Now ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 was sitting ^G2521 outside ^G1854 in the courtyard ^G833, and a servant-girl ^G3814 came ^G4334 to him and said ^G3004, “You too ^G2532 were with Jesus ^G2424 the Galilean ^G1057.”
