Matthew 26

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Jesus had now finished al he wanted to say, and he told his disciples,	1 וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ לְדַבֵּר אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו
2 'It wil be Passover, as you know, in two days' time, and the Son of man wil be handed over to becrucified.'	2 אַתֶּם יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי אַחֲרֵי יוֹמַיִם יִהְיֶה הַפָּסַח וּבֶן־הָאָדָם יִמָּסֵר לְהִצָּלֵב
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whosename was Caiaphas,	3 וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְזִקְנֵי הָעָם אֶל־חֲצַר הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל הַנִּקְרָא קַיָּפָא
4 and made plans to arrest Jesus by some trick and have him put to death.	4 וַיִּוָּעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו לִתְפֹּשׂ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ בְּעָרְמָה וְלַהֲמִיתוֹ
5 They said, however, 'It must not be during the festivities; there must be no disturbance among thepeople.'	5 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַךְ־לֹא בֶחָג פֶּן־תִּהְיֶה מְהוּמָה בָּעָם
6 Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a virulent skin-disease,when	6 וַיְהִי בִּהְיוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ בֵּית־הִינִי בְּבֵית שִׁמְעוֹן הַמְּצֹרָע
7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and poured it on his head ashe was at table.	7 וַתִּקְרַב אֵלָיו אִשָּׁה וּבְיָדָהּ פַּךְ־שֶׁמֶן יָקָר מְאֹד וַתִּצֹּק עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ בַּהֲסִבּוֹ עַל־הַשֻּׁלְחָן
8 When they saw this, the disciples said indignantly, 'Why this waste?	8 וַיִּרְאוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיִּתְרָעֲמוּ לֵאמֹר עַל־מָה הָאִבּוּד הַזֶּה
9 This could have been sold for a high price and the money given the poor.'	9 כִּי הַשֶּׁמֶן הַזֶּה הָיָה רָאוּי לְהִמָּכֵר בִּמְחִיר רָב וּלְתִתּוֹ לָעֲנִיִּים
10 But Jesus noticed this and said, 'Why are you upsetting the woman? What she has done for me isindeed a good work!	10 וַיֵּדַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לָמָּה תוֹגוּ אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה הֲלֹא מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב עָשְׂתָה עִמָּדִי
11 You have the poor with you always, but you wil not always have me.	11 כִּי עֲנִיִּים תָּמִיד עִמָּכֶם וְאָנֹכִי אֵינֶנִּי אִתְּכֶם תָּמִיד
12 When she poured this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.	12 כִּי אֲשֶׁר שָׁפְכָה אֶת־הַשֶּׁמֶן הַזֶּה עַל־גּוּפִי לַחֲנֹט אוֹתִי עָשְׂתָה זֹּאת
13 In truth I tel you, wherever in al the world this gospel is proclaimed, what she has done will be toldas well, in remembrance of her.'	13 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם בַּאֲשֶׁר תִּקָּרֵא הַבְּשׂוֹרָה הַזֹּאת בְּכָל־הָעוֹלָם גַּם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר הִיא עָשְׂתָה יְסֻפַּר לְזִכָּרוֹן לָהּ
14 Then one of the Twelve, the man cal ed Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests	14 וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר הַנִּקְרָא יְהוּדָה אִישׁ־קְרִיּוֹת אֶל־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים
15 and said, 'What are you prepared to give me if I hand him over to you?' They paid him thirty silverpieces,	15 וַיֹּאמֶר מַה־תִּתְּנוּ לִי וְאֶמְסְרֶנּוּ בְיֶדְכֶם וַיִּשְׁקְלוּ־לוֹ שְׁלשִׁים כָּסֶף
16 and from then onwards he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.	16 וּמִן־הָעֵת הַהִיא בִּקֵּשׁ תֹּאֲנָה לִמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ
17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus to say, 'Where do you want usto make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?'	17 וַיְהִי בָרִאשׁוֹן לְחַג הַמַּצּוֹת וַיִּגְּשׁוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר בְּאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם תַּחְפֹּץ כִּי־נָכִין לְךָ לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־הַפָּסַח
18 He said, 'Go to a certain man in the city and say to him, "The Master says: My time is near. It is atyour house that I am keeping Passover with my disciples." '	18 וַיֹּאמֶר לְכוּ הָעִירָה אֶל־פְּלֹנִי אַלְמֹנִי וַאֲמַרְתֶּם אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר הָרַב עִתִּי קְרוֹבָה הִיא וּבְבֵיתְךָ אֶעֱשֶׂה אֶת־הַפֶּסַח עִם־תַּלְמִידָי
19 The disciples did what Jesus told them and prepared the Passover.	19 וַיַּעֲשֹוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּם יֵשׁוּעַ וַיָּכִינוּ אֶת־הַפָּסַח
20 When evening came he was at table with the Twelve.	20 וַיְהִי בָעֶרֶב וַיַּסֵּב עִם־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר
21 And while they were eating he said, 'In truth I tell you, one of you is about to betray me.'	21 וּבְאָכְלָם וַיֹּאמַר אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי־אֶחָד מִכֶּם יִמְסְרֵנִי
22 They were greatly distressed and started asking him in turn, 'Not me, Lord, surely?'	22 וַיִּתְעַצְּבוּ מְאֹד וַיָּחֵלּוּ אִישׁ אִישׁ לֵאמֹר לוֹ הֶאָנֹכִי הוּא אֲדֹנִי
23 He answered, 'Someone who has dipped his hand into the dish with me wil betray me.	23 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר טָבַל עִמִּי אֶת־יָדוֹ בַּקְּעָרָה הוּא יִמְסְרֵנִי
24 The Son of man is going to his fate, as the scriptures say he will, but alas for that man by whom theSon of man is betrayed! Better for that man if he had never been born!'	24 הֵן בֶּן־הָאָדָם הָלוֹךְ יֵלֶךְ־לוֹ כַּכָּתוּב עָלָיו אֲבָל אוֹי לָאִישׁ הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ יִמָּסֵר בֶּן־הָאָדָם טוֹב לָאִישׁ הַהוּא אִם־לֹא נוֹלָד
25 Judas, who was to betray him, asked in his turn, 'Not me, Rabbi, surely?' Jesus answered, 'It is youwho say it.'	25 וַיַּעַן יְהוּדָה הַמֹּסֵר אוֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמַר רַבִּי הַאֲנִי הוּא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gaveit to the disciples. 'Take it and eat,' he said, 'this is my body.'	26 וּבְאָכְלָם וַיִּקַּח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לַתַּלְמִידִים וַיֹּאמַר קְחוּ וְאִכְלוּ זֶה הוּא גּוּפִי
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, 'Drink from this, allof you,	27 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַכּוֹס וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם לֵאמֹר שְׁתוּ מִמֶּנָּה כֻּלְּכֶם
28 for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.	28 כִּי זֶה הוּא דָמִי דַּם־הַבְּרִית הַחֲדָשָׁה הַנִּשְׁפָּךְ בְּעַד רַבִּים לִסְלִיחַת חֲטָאִים
29 From now on, I tel you, I shal never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you inthe kingdom of my Father.'	29 וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי מֵעַתָּה שָׁתֹה לֹא אֶשְׁתֶּה מִתְּנוּבַת הַגֶּפֶן הַזֹּאת עַד הַיּוֹם הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁתֶּה אֹתָהּ עִמָּכֶם חֲדָשָׁה בְּמַלְכוּת אָבִי
30 After the psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives.	30 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי גָמְרָם אֶת־הַהַלֵּל וַיֵּצְאוּ אֶל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים
31 Then Jesus said to them, 'You wil al fall away from me tonight, for the scripture says: I shal strikethe shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered,	31 אָז אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אַתֶּם כֻּלְּכֶם תִּכָּשְׁלוּ בִי בַּלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כִּי כָתוּב אַכֶּה אֶת־הָרֹעֶה וּתְפוּצֶיןָ הַצֹּאן
32 but after my resurrection I shal go ahead of you to Galilee.'	32 וְאַחֲרֵי קוּמִי אֵלֵךְ לִפְנֵיכֶם הַגָּלִילָה
33 At this, Peter said to him, 'Even if al fal away from you, I wil never fal away.'	33 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ גַּם כִּי־יִכָּשְׁלוּ בְךָ כֻּלָּם אֲנִי לְעוֹלָם לֹא אֶכָּשֵׁל
34 Jesus answered him, 'In truth I tel you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will have disownedme three times.'	34 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לְךָ כִּי בַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה בְּטֶרֶם יִקְרָא הַתַּרְנְגוֹל תְּכַחֵשׁ בִּי שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים
35 Peter said to him, 'Even if I have to die with you, I wil never disown you.' And al the disciples saidthe same.	35 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פֶּטְרוֹס גַּם כִּי־יִהְיֶה עָלַי לָמוּת אִתְּךָ כַּחֵשׁ לֹא אֲכַחֵשׁ בָּךְ וְכֵן אָמְרוּ גַּם כָּל־הַתַּלְמִידִים
36 Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stayhere while I go over there to pray.'	36 אַחֲרֵי־כֵן בָּא אִתָּם יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־חָצֵר הַנִּקְרָא גַּת־שְׁמָנִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים שְׁבוּ לָכֶם פֹּה עַד־אֲשֶׁר אֵלֵךְ שָׁמָּה וְהִתְפַּלָּלְתִּי
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish.	37 וַיִּקַּח אִתּוֹ אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי בְּנֵי זַבְדָּי וַיָּחֶל לְהֵעָצֵב וְלָמוּג
38 Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.'	38 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם נַפְשִׁי מָרָה־לִי עַד־מָוֶת עִמְדוּ פֹה וְשִׁקְדוּ עִמִּי
39 And going on a little further he fel on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, letthis cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.'	39 וַיֵּלֶךְ מְעַט הָלְאָה וַיִּפֹּל עַל־פָּנָיו וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל לֵאמֹר אָבִי אִם־יוּכַל לִהְיוֹת תַּעֲבָר־נָא מֵעָלַי הַכּוֹס הַזֹּאת אַךְ לֹא כִרְצוֹנִי כִּי אִם־כִּרְצוֹנֶךָ
40 He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not thestrength to stay awake with me for one hour?	40 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיִּמְצָאֵם יְשֵׁנִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס הִנֵּה לֹא־הָיָה בִיכָלְתְּכֶם לִשְׁקֹד עִמִּי שָׁעָה אֶחָת
41 Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature isweak.'	41 שִׁקְדוּ וְהִתְפַּלְלוּ פֶּן־תָּבֹאוּ לִידֵי נִסָּיוֹן הֵן הָרוּחַ הִיא חֲפֵצָה וְהַבָּשָׂר הוּא רָפֶה
42 Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, butI must drink it, your wil be done!'	42 וַיּוֹסֶף לָלֶכֶת־לוֹ שֵׁנִית וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל לֵאמֹר אָבִי אִם־לֹא תוּכַל הַכּוֹס הַזֹּאת לַעֲבֹר מִמֶּנִּי מִבְּלִי שְׁתוֹתִי אֹתָהּ יְהִי כִּרְצוֹנֶךָ
43 And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy.	43 וַיָּבֹא וַיִּמְצָאֵם גַּם בַּפַּעַם הַזֹּאת יְשֵׁנִים כִּי עֵינֵיהֶם הָיוּ כְבֵדוֹת
44 Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words.	44 וַיַּנִּיחֵם וַיּוֹסֶף לָלֶכֶת וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל שְׁלִישִׁית בְּאָמְרוֹ עוֹד־הַפַּעַם כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה
45 Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest.Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.	45 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נוּמוּ מֵעַתָּה וְנוּחוּ הִנֵּה הַשָּׁעָה קְרוֹבָה וּבֶן־הָאָדָם נִמְסָר לִידֵי חַטָּאִים
46 Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'	46 קוּמוּ וְנֵלֵכָה הִנֵּה הוֹלֵךְ וְקָרֵב הַמֹּסֵר אוֹתִי
47 And suddenly while he was stil speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared, and with him a largenumber of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.	47 עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר וְהִנֵּה־בָא יְהוּדָה אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וְעִמּוֹ הָמוֹן רָב בַּחֲרָבוֹת וּבְמַקְּלוֹת מֵאֵת רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְזִקְנֵי הָעָם
48 Now the traitor had arranged a sign with them saying, 'The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him.'	48 וְהַמֹּסֵר אֹתוֹ נָתַן לָהֶם אוֹת לֵאמֹר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֶשָּׁקֵהוּ זֶה הוּא תִּפְשֹוּהוּ
49 So he went up to Jesus at once and said, 'Greetings, Rabbi,' and kissed him.	49 וּמִיָּד נִגַּשׁ אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ רַבִּי וַיְנַשֶּׁק־לוֹ
50 Jesus said to him, 'My friend, do what you are here for.' Then they came forward, seized Jesus andarrested him.	50 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ רֵעִי עַל־מֶה בָאתָ וַיִּגְּשׁוּ וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם בְּיֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּתְפְּשֹוּ אֹתוֹ
51 And suddenly, one of the fol owers of Jesus grasped his sword and drew it; he struck the high priest'sservant and cut off his ear.	51 וְהִנֵּה אֶחָד מִן־הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ שָׁלַח יָדוֹ וַיִּשְׁלֹף חַרְבּוֹ וַיַּךְ אֶת־עֶבֶד הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־אָזְנוֹ
52 Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for al who draw the sword wil die by the sword.	52 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ הָשֵׁב אֶת־חַרְבְּךָ אֶל־תַּעְרָהּ כִּי כָּל־אֹחֲזֵי חֶרֶב בַּחֶרֶב יֹאבֵדוּ
53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, who would promptly send more than twelvelegions of angels to my defence?	53 אוֹ הֲיַחְשֹׁב לִבְּךָ כִּי לֹא יָכֹלְתִּי לִשְׁאֹל עַתָּה מֵאֵת אָבִי וְהוּא יְצַוֶּה־לִּי יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁנֵים עָשָׂר לִגְיוֹנוֹת שֶׁל־מַלְאָכִים
54 But then, how would the scriptures be fulfil ed that say this is the way it must be?'	54 וְאֵיכָכָה אֵפוֹא יִמָּלְאוּ הַכְּתוּבִים כִּי־כֵן הָיֹה תִהְיֶה
55 It was at this time that Jesus said to the crowds, 'Am I a bandit, that you had to set out to capture mewith swords and clubs? I sat teaching in the Temple day after day and you never laid a hand on me.'	55 בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא אָמַר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם כְּעַל־פָּרִיץ יְצָאתֶם בַּחֲרָבוֹת וּבְמַקְּלוֹת לְתָפְשֵׂנִי וְיוֹם יוֹם הָיִיתִי ישֵׁב וּמְלַמֵּד אֶצְלְכֶם בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וְלֹא הֶחֱזַקְתֶּם בִּי
56 Now al this happened to fulfil the prophecies in scripture. Then al the disciples deserted him and ranaway.	56 וְכָל־זֹאת הָיְתָה לְמַלֹּאת כִּתְבֵי הַנְּבִיאִים אָז עֲזָבוּהוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים כֻּלָּם וַיָּנוּסוּ
57 The men who had arrested Jesus led him off to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where thescribes and the elders were assembled.	57 וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר תָּפְשֹוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הוֹלִיכֻהוּ אֶל־קַיָּפָא הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר נִקְהֲלוּ־שָׁם הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים
58 Peter followed him at a distance right to the high priest's palace, and he went in and sat down withthe attendants to see what the end would be.	58 וּפֶטְרוֹס הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרָיו מֵרָחוֹק עַד לַחֲצַר הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיָּבֹא פְנִימָה וַיֵּשֶׁב לוֹ אֵצֶל הַמְשָׁרְתִים לִרְאוֹת אֶת־אַחֲרִית הַדָּבָר
59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus, however false,on which they might have him executed.	59 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בִּקְשׁוּ עֵדוּת שֶׁקֶר בְּיֵשׁוּעַ לַהֲמִיתוֹ וְלֹא מָצָאוּ
60 But they could not find any, though several lying witnesses came forward. Eventually two cameforward	60 וְאַף בַּעֲמֹד שָׁם עֵדֵי שֶׁקֶר רַבִּים לֹא מָצָאוּ וּבָאַחֲרוֹנָה נִגְּשׁוּ שְׁנֵי עֵדֵי שָׁקֶר
61 and made a statement, 'This man said, "I have power to destroy the Temple of God and in three daysbuild it up." '	61 וַיֹּאמְרוּ זֶה אָמַר יֵשׁ בִּיכָלְתִּי לַהֲרֹס אֶת־הֵיכַל הָאֱלֹהִים וְלָשׁוּב לִבְנוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים
62 The high priest then rose and said to him, 'Have you no answer to that? What is this evidence thesemen are bringing against you?'	62 וַיָּקָם הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר עַל־אֲשֶׁר עָנוּ־בְךָ אֵלֶּה
63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, 'I put you on oath by the living God to tel us ifyou are the Christ, the Son of God.'	63 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הֶחֱרִישׁ וַיַּעַן הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַשְׁבִּיעֲךָ אֲנִי בֵּאלֹהִים חַיִּים שֶׁתֹּאמַר לָנוּ אִם־אַתָּה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים
64 Jesus answered him, 'It is you who say it. But, I tel you that from this time onward you wil see theSon of man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.'	64 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ אֲבָל אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי מֵעַתָּה תִּרְאוּ אֶת־בֶּן־הָאָדָם ישֵׁב לִימִין הַגְּבוּרָה וּבָא עִם־עַנְנֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, 'He has blasphemed. What need of witnesses have wenow? There! You have just heard the blasphemy.	65 וַיִּקְרַע הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיֹּאמַר הוּא גִדֵּף וּמַה־לָּנוּ עוֹד לְבַקֵּשׁ עֵדִים הִנֵּה עַתָּה שְׁמַעְתֶּם אֶת־גִּדּוּפוֹ
66 What is your opinion?' They answered, 'He deserves to die.'	66 מַה־דַּעְתְּכֶם וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ־מָוֶת הוּא
67 Then they spat in his face and hit him with their fists; others said as they struck him,	67 וַיָּרֹקּוּ בְּפָנָיו וַיַּכֻּהוּ בְאֶגְרוֹף וַאֲחֵרִים הִכֻּהוּ עַל־הַלֶּחִי
68 'Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit you then?'	68 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הִנָּבֵא לָנוּ הַמָּשִׁיחַ מִי הוּא הַמַּכֶּה אוֹתָךְ
69 Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came up to him saying, 'You,too, were with Jesus the Galilean.'	69 וּפֶטְרוֹס יָשַׁב מִחוּץ לַבַּיִת בֶּחָצֵר וַתִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו שִׁפְחָה לֵאמֹר גַּם־אַתָּה הָיִיתָ עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ הַגְּלִילִי
70 But he denied it in front of them al . 'I do not know what you are talking about,' he said.	70 וַיְכַחֵשׁ בִּפְנֵי כֻלָּם לֵאמֹר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי מָה־אַתְּ אֹמָרֶת
71 When he went out to the gateway another servant-girl saw him and said to the people there, 'Thisman was with Jesus the Nazarene.'	71 וַיֵּצֵא אֶל־פֶּתַח הַשַּׁעַר וַתֵּרֶא אוֹתוֹ אַחֶרֶת וַתֹּאמֶר לָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם גַּם־זֶה הָיָה עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי
72 And again, with an oath, he denied it, 'I do not know the man.'	72 וַיּוֹסֶף לְכַחֵשׁ וַיִּשָּׁבַע לֵאמֹר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־הָאִישׁ
73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, 'You are certainly one of them too! Why, youraccent gives you away.'	73 וְכִמְעַט אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיִּגְּשׁוּ הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס אֱמֶת כִּי גַם־אַתָּה מֵהֶם כִּי גַם־לְשׁוֹנְךָ מְגַלָּה אוֹתָךְ
74 Then he started cursing and swearing, 'I do not know the man.' And at once the cock crowed,	74 וַיָּחֶל לְהַחֲרִים אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וּלְהִשָּׁבֵעַ לֵאמֹר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־הָאִישׁ וּמִיָּד קָרָא הַתַּרְנְגוֹל
75 and Peter remembered what Jesus had said, 'Before the cock crows you wil have disowned methree times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly.	75 וַיִּזְכֹּר פֶּטְרוֹס אֶת־דְּבַר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר בְּטֶרֶם יִקְרָא הַתַּרְנְגוֹל תְּכַחֵשׁ בִּי שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים וַיֵּצֵא הַחוּצָה וַיְמָרֵר בַּבֶּכִי
