Chapter 26
The Plot Against Jesus
1  Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, 2  Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι. 3  Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα 4  καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν· 5  ἔλεγον δέ, Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ ἵνα μὴ θόρυβος γένηται ἐν τῷ λαῷ.
1And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 2"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is being handed over to be crucified.” 3At that time, the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4and they conspired together so that they might seize Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there won’t be a riot among the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany
6  Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ Σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ, 7  προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου βαρυτίμου καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου. 8  ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἠγανάκτησαν λέγοντες, Εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη; 9  ἐδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο πραθῆναι πολλοῦ καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.
6Now while Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7a woman approached him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it out upon his head as he was reclining at the table. 8But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9For this could have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor.”
10  γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ· 11  πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθ' ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε· 12  βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν. 13  ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς.
10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? For she has done a beautiful deed for me. 11For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 12For by pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
14  Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης, πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς 15  εἶπεν, Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι, κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτὸν; οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια. 16  καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.
14Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” And they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that moment on, he began looking for a favorable opportunity to betray him.
Preparations for the Passover
17  Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν ἀζύμων προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ πάσχα; 18  ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς τὸν καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῷ, Ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει, Ὁ καιρός μου ἐγγύς ἐστιν, πρὸς σὲ ποιῶ τὸ πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου. 19  καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ πάσχα.
17Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19And the disciples did as Jesus directed them and prepared the Passover.
The Betrayer Revealed
20  Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα. 21  καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με. 22  καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς ἕκαστος, Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, Κύριε;
20When evening came, he was reclining at the table with the twelve. 21And as they were eating, he said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.” 22Being deeply grieved, each one of them began to say to him, “Surely it is not I, Lord?”
23  ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετ' ἐμοῦ τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ οὗτός με παραδώσει. 24  ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι' οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται· καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος. 25  ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ῥαββί; λέγει αὐτῷ Σὺ εἶπας.
23But he answered and said, “The one who dipped his hand into the bowl with me—this one will betray me. 24The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25Then Judas, the one betraying him, answered and said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You yourself said it.”
The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
26  Ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν λαβὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἄρτον καὶ εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς εἶπεν, Λάβετε φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου. 27  καὶ λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες, 28  τοῦτο γὰρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. 29  λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπ' ἄρτι ἐκ τούτου τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω μεθ' ὑμῶν καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατρός μου. 30  Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
26Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, he broke it and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27And taking a cup, and after giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28for this is my blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29But I tell you, I will certainly not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.” 30And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Peter’s Denial Predicted
31  Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πάντες ὑμεῖς σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, γέγραπται γὰρ,
Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα,
καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται τὰ πρόβατα τῆς ποίμνης. {Zech. 13:7}
31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be stumbled because of me during this night, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ {Zech. 13:7}
32  μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν. 33  ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Εἰ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν Σοὶ, ἐγὼ οὐδέποτε σκανδαλισθήσομαι. 34  ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτι ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με. 35  λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος, Κἂν δέῃ με σὺν σοί ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ μή σε ἀπαρνήσομαι. ὁμοίως καὶ πάντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπαν.
32"But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33But Peter answered and said to him, “If everyone else is stumbled because of you, I will never be stumbled!” 34Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that during this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will certainly not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
The Agony in Gethsemane
36  Τότε ἔρχεται μετ' αὐτῶν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς χωρίον λεγόμενον Γεθσημανὶ καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, Καθίσατε αὐτοῦ ἕως [οὗ] ἀπελθὼν ἐκεῖ προσεύξωμαι. 37  καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ζεβεδαίου ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν. 38  τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς, Περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε μετ' ἐμοῦ. 39  καὶ προελθὼν μικρὸν ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν, παρελθάτω ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο· πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλ' ὡς σύ.
36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be grieved and deeply distressed. 38Then He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death; remain here and stay awake with Me.” 39And going forward a little, He fell on His face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
40  καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετ' ἐμοῦ; 41  γρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν· τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής. 42  πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο παρελθεῖν ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου. 43  καὶ ἐλθὼν πάλιν εὗρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ βεβαρημένοι. 44  καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς πάλιν ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν πάλιν.
40And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “So, were you not strong enough to stay awake with Me for one hour? 41Stay awake and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42Again, for a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, let Your will be done.” 43And coming again, He found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44And leaving them again, He went away and prayed for a third time, saying the same word once more.
45  τότε ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Καθεύδετε [τὸ] λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε, ἰδοὺ ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν. 46  ἐγείρεσθε ἄγωμεν· ἰδοὺ ἤγγικεν ὁ παραδιδούς με.
45Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is being handed over into the hands of sinners. 46Get up, let us be going; look, the one betraying Me has drawn near.”
The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
47  Καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ. 48  ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, Ὃν ἄν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν, κρατήσατε αὐτόν. 49  καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, Χαῖρε, ῥαββί, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν. 50  ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἑταῖρε, ἐφ' ὃ πάρει. τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
47And while He was still speaking, look—Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now the one who was betraying Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomsoever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” 49And immediately, approaching Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him fervently. 50But Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you are here for.” Then they came forward, laid hands on Jesus, and seized Him.
51  καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς τῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον. 52  τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς· πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται. 53  ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι παρακαλέσαι τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι ἄρτι πλείω δώδεκα λεγιῶνας ἀγγέλων; 54  πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;
51And look—one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. 52Then Jesus said to him, “Return your sword to its place; for all who take up the sword will perish by the sword. 53Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will provide Me right now with more than twelve legions of angels? 54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55  Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις, Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; καθ' ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με. 56  τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
55In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a rebel with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 56But all this has happened so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples, abandoning Him, fled.
The Trial Before the Sanhedrin
57  Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν. 58  ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος. 59  Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσιν, 60  καὶ οὐχ εὗρον πολλῶν προσελθόντων ψευδομαρτύρων. ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο 61  εἶπαν, Οὗτος ἔφη, Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι.
57Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58But Peter followed Him from a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside, he sat with the attendants to see the outcome. 59Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put Him to death, 60but they found none, even though many false witnesses came forward. Finally, two came forward 61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to tear down the temple of God and build it back through three days.’”
62  καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν; 63  ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
62Then the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Have You no answer? What is this they are testifying against You?” 63But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64  λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σὺ εἶπας· πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν,
ἀπ' ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως
καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. {Daniel 7:13}
64Jesus said to him, “You yourself have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you:
From now on you will see the Son of Man
seated at the right hand of Power
and coming on the clouds of heaven.” {Daniel 7:13}
65  τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ λέγων, Ἐβλασφήμησεν, τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; ἴδε νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν· 66  τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπαν, Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν. 67  Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν, οἱ δὲ ἐράπισαν 68  λέγοντες, Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, Χριστέ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;
65Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, you have now heard the blasphemy! 66What is your verdict?” They answered, “He is deserving of death.” 67Then they spit in His face and struck Him with their fists; and some slapped Him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, You Christ! Who is the one who hit You?”
Peter’s Denials
69  Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἐκάθητο ἔξω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ μία παιδίσκη λέγουσα, Καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Γαλιλαίου. 70  ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν πάντων λέγων, Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl approached him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
71  ἐξελθόντα δὲ εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἐκεῖ, Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου. 72  καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μετὰ ὅρκου ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
71Then, as he went out toward the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
73  μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ, Ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ, καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλον σε ποιεῖ. 74  τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον. καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν. 75  καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος ὅτι Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με· καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
73After a little while, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Truly you are one of them too; for even your accent gives you away.” 74Then he began to call down curses and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75And Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
