Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 26

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους παντας τους λογους τουτους, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου?	1 When Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 Εξευρετε οτι μετα δυο ημερας γινεται το πασχα, και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδεται δια να σταυρωθη.	2 "You know that in two days' time it will be Passover, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."
3 Τοτε συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου εις την αυλην του αρχιερεως του λεγομενου Καιαφα,	3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 και συνεβουλευθησαν να συλλαβωσι τον Ιησουν με δολον και να θανατωσωσιν.	4 and they consulted together to arrest Jesus by treachery and put him to death.
5 Ελεγον δε? μη εν τη εορτη, δια να μη γεινη θορυβος εν τω λαω.	5 But they said, "Not during the festival, that there may not be a riot among the people."
6 Οτε δε ο Ιησους ητο εν Βηθανια εν τη οικια Σιμωνος του λεπρου,	6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 προσηλθε προς αυτον γυνη εχουσα αλαβαστρον μυρου βαρυτιμου, και κατεχεεν αυτο επι την κεφαλην αυτου, ενω εκαθητο εις την τραπεζαν.	7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of costly perfumed oil, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.
8 Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου, ηγανακτησαν λεγοντες? Εις τι η απωλεια αυτη;	8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, "Why this waste?
9 διοτι ηδυνατο τουτο το μυρον να πωληθη με πολλην τιμην και να δοθη εις τους πτωχους.	9 It could have been sold for much, and the money given to the poor."
10 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι ενοχλειτε την γυναικα; διοτι εργον καλον επραξεν εις εμε.	10 Since Jesus knew this, he said to them, "Why do you make trouble for the woman? She has done a good thing for me.
11 Διοτι τους πτωχους παντοτε εχετε μεθ' εαυτων, εμε ομως παντοτε δεν εχετε.	11 The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me.
12 Επειδη χυσασα αυτη το μυρον τουτο επι του σωματος μου, εκαμε τουτο δια τον ενταφιασμον μου.	12 In pouring this perfumed oil upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Αληθως σας λεγω, οπου εαν κηρυχθη το ευαγγελιον τουτο εν ολω τω κοσμω, θελει λαληθη και τουτο, το οποιον επραξεν αυτη, εις μνημοσυνον αυτης.	13 Amen, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken of, in memory of her."
14 Τοτε υπηγεν εις των δωδεκα, ο λεγομενος Ιουδας Ισκαριωτης, προς τους αρχιερεις	14 Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscar iot, went to the chief priests
15 και ειπε? Τι θελετε να μοι δωσητε, και εγω θελω σας παραδωσει αυτον; Και εκεινοι εδωκαν εις αυτον τριακοντα αργυρια.	15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver,
16 Και απο τοτε εζητει ευκαιριαν δια να παραδωση αυτον.	16 and from that time on he looked for an opportunity to hand him over.
17 Την δε πρωτην των αζυμων προσηλθον οι μαθηται προς τον Ιησουν, λεγοντες προς αυτον? Που θελεις να σοι ετοιμασωμεν δια να φαγης το πασχα;	17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18 Και εκεινος ειπεν? Υπαγετε εις την πολιν προς τον δεινα και ειπατε προς αυτον? Ο Διδασκαλος λεγει, Ο καιρος μου επλησιασεν? εν τη οικια σου θελω καμει το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου.	18 He said, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The teacher says, "My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples."'"
19 Και εκαμον οι μαθηται καθως παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους, και ητοιμασαν το πασχα.	19 The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover.
20 Οτε δε εγεινεν εσπερα, εκαθητο εις την τραπεζαν μετα των δωδεκα.	20 When it was evening, he reclined at table with the Twelve.
21 Και ενω ετρωγον, ειπεν? Αληθως σας λεγω οτι εις εξ υμων θελει με παραδωσει.	21 And while they were eating, he said, "Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
22 Και λυπουμενοι σφοδρα, ηρχισαν να λεγωσι προς αυτον εκαστος αυτων? Μηπως εγω ειμαι, Κυριε;	22 Deeply distressed at this, they began to say to him one after another, "Surely it is not I, Lord?"
23 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν? Ο εμβαψας μετ' εμου εν τω πινακιω την χειρα, ουτος θελει με παραδωσει.	23 He said in reply, "He who has dipped his hand into the dish with me is the one who will betray me.
24 Ο μεν Υιος του ανθρωπου υπαγει, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον περι αυτου? ουαι δε εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, δια του οποιου ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδεται? καλον ητο εις τον ανθρωπον εκεινον, αν δεν ηθελε γεννηθη.	24 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born."
25 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιουδας, οστις παρεδιδεν αυτον, ειπε? Μηπως εγω ειμαι, Ραββι; Λεγει προς αυτον? Συ ειπας.	25 Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" He answered, "You have said so."
26 Και ενω ετρωγον, λαβων ο Ιησους τον αρτον και ευλογησας εκοψε και εδιδεν εις τους μαθητας και ειπε? Λαβετε, φαγετε? τουτο ειναι το σωμα μου?	26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27 και λαβων το ποτηριον και ευχαριστησας, εδωκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Πιετε εξ αυτου παντες?	27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,
28 διοτι τουτο ειναι το αιμα μου το της καινης διαθηκης, το υπερ πολλων εκχυνομενον εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων.	28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Σας λεγω δε οτι δεν θελω πιει εις το εξης εκ τουτου του γεννηματος της αμπελου εως της ημερας εκεινης, οταν πινω αυτο νεον μεθ' υμων εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος μου.	29 I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father."
30 Και αφου υμνησαν, εξηλθον εις το ορος των ελαιων.	30 Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Τοτε λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Παντες υμεις θελετε σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι την νυκτα ταυτην? διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον, Θελω παταξει τον ποιμενα, και θελουσι διασκορπισθη τα προβατα της ποιμνης?	31 Then Jesus said to them, "This night all of you will have your faith in me shaken, for it is written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be dispersed';
32 αφου δε αναστηθω, θελω υπαγει προτερον υμων εις την Γαλιλαιαν.	32 but after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee."
33 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος, ειπε προς αυτον? Και αν παντες σκανδαλισθωσιν εν σοι, εγω ποτε δεν θελω σκανδαλισθη.	33 Peter said to him in reply, "Though all may have their faith in you shaken, mine will never be."
34 Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αληθως σοι λεγω οτι ταυτην την νυκτα, πριν φωναξη ο αλεκτωρ, τρις θελεις με απαρνηθη.	34 Jesus said to him, "Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."
35 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πετρος? Και αν γεινη χρεια να αποθανω μετα σου, δεν θελω σε απαρνηθη. Ομοιως ειπον και παντες οι μαθηται.	35 Peter said to him, "Even though I should have to die with you, I will not deny you." And all the disciples spoke likewise.
36 Τοτε ερχεται μετ' αυτων ο Ιησους εις χωριον λεγομενον Γεθσημανη και λεγει προς τους μαθητας? Καθησατε αυτου, εωσου υπαγω και προσευχηθω εκει.	36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37 Και παραλαβων τον Πετρον και τους δυο υιους του Ζεβεδαιου, ηρχισε να λυπηται και να αδημονη.	37 He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress.
38 Τοτε λεγει προς αυτους? Περιλυπος ειναι η ψυχη μου εως θανατου? μεινατε εδω και αγρυπνειτε μετ' εμου.	38 Then he said to them, "My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me."
39 Και προχωρησας ολιγον επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου, προσευχομενος και λεγων? Πατερ μου, εαν ηναι δυνατον, ας παρελθη απ' εμου το ποτηριον τουτο? πλην ουχι ως εγω θελω, αλλ' ως συ.	39 He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will."
40 Και ερχεται προς τους μαθητας και ευρισκει αυτους κοιμωμενους, και λεγει προς τον Πετρον? Ουτω δεν ηδυνηθητε μιαν ωραν να αγρυπνησητε μετ' εμου;	40 When he returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?
41 αγρυπνειτε και προσευχεσθε, δια να μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον. Το μεν πνευμα προθυμον, η δε σαρξ ασθενης.	41 Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 Παλιν εκ δευτερου υπηγε και προσευχηθη, λεγων? Πατερ μου, εαν δεν ηναι δυνατον τουτο το ποτηριον να παρελθη απ' εμου χωρις να πιω αυτο, γενηθητω το θελημα σου.	42 Withdrawing a second time, he prayed again, "My Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!"
43 Και ελθων ευρισκει αυτους παλιν κοιμωμενους? διοτι οι οφθαλμοι αυτων ησαν βεβαρημενοι.	43 Then he returned once more and found them asleep, for they could not keep their eyes open.
44 Και αφησας αυτους υπηγε παλιν και προσευχηθη εκ τριτου, ειπων τον αυτον λογον.	44 He left them and withdrew again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing again.
45 Τοτε ερχεται προς τους μαθητας αυτου και λεγει προς αυτους? Κοιμασθε το λοιπον και αναπαυεσθε? ιδου, επλησιασεν η ωρα και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδεται εις χειρας αμαρτωλων.	45 Then he returned to his disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand when the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinners.
46 Εγερθητε, ας υπαγωμεν? Ιδου, επλησιασεν ο παραδιδων με.	46 Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is at hand."
47 Και ενω αυτος ελαλει ετι, ιδου, ο Ιουδας εις των δωδεκα ηλθε, και μετ' αυτου οχλος πολυς μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων παρα των αρχιερεων και πρεσβυτερων του λαου.	47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd, with swords and clubs, who had come from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
48 Ο δε παραδιδων αυτον εδωκεν εις αυτους σημειον, λεγων? Οντινα φιλησω, αυτος ειναι? πιασατε αυτον.	48 His betrayer had arranged a sign with them, saying, "The man I shall kiss is the one; arrest him."
49 Και ευθυς πλησιασας προς τον Ιησουν, ειπε? Χαιρε, Ραββι, και κατεφιλησεν αυτον.	49 Immediately he went over to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and he kissed him.
50 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Φιλε, δια τι ηλθες; Τοτε προσελθοντες επεβαλον τας χειρας επι τον Ιησουν και επιασαν αυτον.	50 Jesus answered him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then stepping forward they laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.
51 Και ιδου, εις των μετα του Ιησου εκτεινας την χειρα εσυρε την μαχαιραν αυτου, και κτυπησας τον δουλον του αρχιερεως απεκοψε το ωτιον αυτου.	51 And behold, one of those who accompanied Jesus put his hand to his sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
52 Τοτε λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Επιστρεψον την μαχαιραν σου εις τον τοπον αυτης? διοτι παντες οσοι πιασωσι μαχαιραν δια μαχαιρας θελουσιν απολεσθη.	52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its sheath, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
53 Η νομιζεις οτι δεν δυναμαι ηδη να παρακαλεσω τον Πατερα μου, και θελει στησει πλησιον μου περισσοτερους παρα δωδεκα λεγεωνας αγγελων;	53 Do you think that I cannot call upon my Father and he will not provide me at this moment with more than twelve legions of angels?
54 πως λοιπον θελουσι πληρωθη αι γραφαι οτι ουτω πρεπει να γεινη;	54 But then how would the scriptures be fulfilled which say that it must come to pass in this way?"
55 Εν εκεινη τη ωρα ειπεν ο Ιησους προς τους οχλους? Ως επι ληστην εξηλθετε μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων να με συλλαβητε; καθ' ημεραν εκαθημην πλησιον υμων διδασκων εν τω ιερω, και δεν με επιασατε.	55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me.
56 Τουτο δε ολον εγεινε δια να πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων. Τοτε οι μαθηται παντες αφησαντες αυτον εφυγον.	56 But all this has come to pass that the writings of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 Οι δε πιασαντες τον Ιησουν εφεραν προς Καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα, οπου συνηχθησαν οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι.	57 Those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Ο δε Πετρος ηκολουθει αυτον απο μακροθεν εως της αυλης του αρχιερεως, και εισελθων εσω εκαθητο μετα των υπηρετων δια να ιδη το τελος.	58 Peter was following him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard, and going inside he sat down with the servants to see the outcome.
59 Οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι και το συνεδριον ολον εζητουν ψευδομαρτυριαν κατα του Ιησου, δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον,	59 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death,
60 και δεν ευρον? και πολλων ψευδομαρτυρων προσελθοντων, δεν ευρον. Υστερον δε προσελθοντες δυο ψευδομαρτυρες,	60 but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
61 ειπον? Ουτος ειπε, Δυναμαι να χαλασω τον ναον του Θεου και δια τριων ημερων να οικοδομησω αυτον.	61 who stated, "This man said, 'I can destroy the temple of God and within three days rebuild it.'"
62 Και σηκωθεις ο αρχιερευς ειπε προς αυτον? Δεν αποκρινεσαι; τι μαρτυρουσιν ουτοι κατα σου;	62 The high priest rose and addressed him, "Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?"
63 Ο δε Ιησους εσιωπα. Και αποκριθεις ο αρχιερευς ειπε προς αυτον? Σε ορκιζω εις τον Θεον τον ζωντα να ειπης προς ημας αν συ ησαι ο Χριστος ο Υιος του Θεου.	63 But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
64 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Συ ειπας? πλην σας λεγω, Εις το εξης θελετε ιδει τον Υιον του ανθρωπου καθημενον εκ δεξιων της δυναμεως και ερχομενον επι των νεφελων του ουρανου.	64 Jesus said to him in reply, "You have said so. But I tell you: From now on you will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven.'"
65 Τοτε ο αρχιερευς διεσχισε τα ιματια αυτου, λεγων οτι εβλασφημησε? τι χρειαν εχομεν πλεον μαρτυρων; ιδου, τωρα ηκουσατε την βλασφημιαν αυτου?	65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy;
66 τι σας φαινεται; Και εκεινοι αποκριθεντες ειπον? Ενοχος θανατου ειναι.	66 what is your opinion?" They said in reply, "He deserves to die!"
67 Τοτε ενεπτυσαν εις το προσωπον αυτου και εγρονθισαν αυτον, αλλοι δε ερραπισαν,	67 Then they spat in his face and struck him, while some slapped him,
68 λεγοντες? Προφητευσον εις ημας, Χριστε, τις ειναι οστις σε εκτυπησεν;	68 saying, "Prophesy for us, Messiah: who is it that struck you?"
69 Ο δε Πετρος εκαθητο εξω εν τη αυλη και προσηλθε προς αυτον μια δουλη, λεγουσα? Και συ ησο μετα Ιησου του Γαλιλαιου.	69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. One of the maids came over to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."
70 Ο δε ηρνηθη εμπροσθεν παντων, λεγων? Δεν εξευρω τι λεγεις.	70 But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about!"
71 Και οτε εξηλθεν εις τον πυλωνα, ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει προς τους εκει, Και ουτος ητο μετα Ιησου του Ναζωραιου.	71 As he went out to the gate, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazorean."
72 Και παλιν ηρνηθη μεθ' ορκου οτι δεν γνωριζω τον ανθρωπον.	72 Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man!"
73 Μετ' ολιγον δε προσελθοντες οι εστωτες, ειπον προς τον Πετρον? Αληθως και συ εξ αυτων εισαι? διοτι η λαλια σου σε καμνει φανερον.	73 A little later the bystanders came over and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; even your speech gives you away."
74 Τοτε ηρχισε να καταναθεματιζη και να ομνυη οτι δεν γνωριζω τον ανθρωπον. Και ευθυς εφωναξεν ο αλεκτωρ.	74 At that he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately a cock crowed.
75 Και ενεθυμηθη ο Πετρος τον λογον του Ιησου, οστις ειχεν ειπει προς αυτον οτι πριν φωναξη ο αλεκτωρ, τρις θελεις με απαρνηθη? και εξελθων εξω εκλαυσε πικρως.	75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: "Before the cock crows you will deny me three times." He went out and began to weep bitterly.
