1 וַיְהִי יוֹמַיִם לִפְנֵי חַג הַפֶּסַח וְהַמַּצּוֹת וַיְבַקְשׁוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים אֵיךְ־יִתְפְּשֻׂהוּ בְעָרְמָה לַהֲמִיתוֹ	1 It was two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and thescribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus by some trick and have him put to death.
2 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַךְ־לֹא בֶחָג פֶּן־תִּהְיֶה מְהוּמָה בָּעָם	2 For they said, 'It must not be during the festivities, or there wil be a disturbance among the people.'
3 וַיְהִי בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בְּבֵית־הִינִי בֵּית שִׁמְעוֹן הַמְצֹרָע וַיַּסֵּב אֶל־הַשֻּׁלְחָן וַתָּבֹא אִשָּׁה וּבְיָדָהּ פַּךְ־שֶׁמֶן נֵרְדְּ זַךְ וְיָקָר מְאֹד וַתִּשְׁבֹּר אֶת־הַפַּךְ וַתִּצֹּק עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ	3 He was at Bethany in the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a virulent skin-disease; hewas at table when a woman came in with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, pure nard. She broke the jarand poured the ointment on his head.
4 וְיֵּשׁ אֲשֶׁר מִתְרָעֲמִים אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ לֵאמֹר עַל־מֶה הָיָה אִבּוּד הַשֶּׁמֶן הַזֶּה	4 Some who were there said to one another indignantly, 'Why this waste of ointment?
5 כִּי רָאוּי הָיָה זֶה לְהִמָּכֵר בְּיוֹתֵר מִשְּׁלשׁ מֵאוֹת דִּינַר וּלְתִתּוֹ לָעֲנִיִּים וַיִּגְעֲרוּ בָּהּ	5 Ointment like this could have been sold for over three hundred denari and the money given to thepoor'; and they were angry with her.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּיחוּ לָהּ לָמָּה תֹגְיוּן נַפְשָׁהּ מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב עָשְׂתָה עִמָּדִי	6 But Jesus said, 'Leave her alone. Why are you upsetting her? What she has done for me is a goodwork.
7 כִּי הָעֲנִיִּים תָּמִיד עִמָּכֶם וּכְשֶׁתִּרְצוּ תּוּכְלוּ לְהֵיטִיב לָהֶם וְאָנֹכִי לֹא־אֶהְיֶה אִתְּכֶם תָּמִיד	7 You have the poor with you always, and you can be kind to them whenever you wish, but you wil notalways have me.
8 אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָיָה לְאֵל יָדָהּ עָשָׂתָה קִדְּמָה לִמְשׁוֹחַ אֶת־גּוּפִי לְחָנְטוֹ	8 She has done what she could: she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial.
9 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי בַּאֲשֶׁר תִּקָּרֵא הַבְּשׂוֹרָה הַזֹּאת אֶל־כָּל־הָעוֹלָם גַּם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשְׂתָה הִיא יְסֻפַּר לְזִכָּרוֹן לָהּ	9 In truth I tel you, wherever throughout al the world the gospel is proclaimed, what she has done wilbe told as well, in remembrance of her.'
10 וִיהוּדָה אִישׁ־קְרִיּוֹת אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר הָלַךְ אֶל־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים לִמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ אֲלֵיהֶם	10 Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, approached the chief priests with an offer to hand Jesus over tothem.
11 וְהֵם כְּשָׁמְעָם שָׂמְחוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָתֶת־לוֹ כָסֶף וַיְבַקֵּשׁ תֹּאֲנָה לְמָסְרוֹ	11 They were delighted to hear it, and promised to give him money; and he began to look for a way ofbetraying him when the opportunity should occur.
12 וַיְהִי בָּרִאשׁוֹן לְחַג הַמַּצּוֹת עֵת זְבֹחַ הַפָּסַח וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו אֵיפֹה תַחְפֹּץ לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־הַפֶּסַח וְנֵלְכָה וְנָכִין	12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, his disciples said tohim, 'Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?'
13 וַיִּשְׁלַח שְׁנַיִם מִתַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ הָעִירָה וְיִפְגַּע אֶתְכֶם אִישׁ נֹשֵׂא צַפַּחַת הַמָּיִם לְכוּ אַחֲרָיו	13 So he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 'Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying apitcher of water. Fol ow him,
14 וּבַאֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא שָׁמָּה אִמְרוּ לְבַעַל הַבַּיִת כֹּה אָמַר הָרַב אַיֵּה הַמָּלוֹן אֲשֶׁר אֹכְלָה שָּׁם אֶת־הַפֶּסַח עִם־תַּלְמִידָי	14 and say to the owner of the house which he enters, "The Master says: Where is the room for me toeat the Passover with my disciples?"
15 וְהוּא יַרְאֶה אֶתְכֶם עֲלִיָּה גְדוֹלָה מֻצָּעָה וּמוּכָנָה וְשָׁם הָכִינוּ לָנוּ	15 He wil show you a large upper room furnished with couches, al prepared. Make the preparations forus there.'
16 וַיֵּצְאוּ תַלְמִידָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ הָעִירָה וַיִּמְצְאוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָהֶם וַיָּכִינוּ אֶת־הַפָּסַח	16 The disciples set out and went to the city and found everything as he had told them, and preparedthe Passover.
17 וַיְהִי בָּעֶרֶב וַיָּבֹא עִם־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר	17 When evening came he arrived with the Twelve.
18 וַיַּסֵּבּוּ וַיֹּאכֵלוּ וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אֶחָד מִכֶּם הָאֹכֵל אִתִּי יִמְסְרֵנִי	18 And while they were at table eating, Jesus said, 'In truth I tell you, one of you is about to betray me,one of you eating with me.'
19 וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְהִתְעַצֵּב וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו זֶה אַחַר זֶה הֲכִי אֲנִי הוּא	19 They were distressed and said to him, one after another, 'Not me, surely?'
20 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר הוּא הַטֹּבֵל עִמִּי בַּקְּעָרָה	20 He said to them, 'It is one of the Twelve, one who is dipping into the same dish with me.
21 הֵן בֶּן־הָאָדָם הָלֹךְ יֵלֵךְ כַּאֲשֶׁר כָּתוּב עָלָיו אֲבָל אוֹי לָאִישׁ הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ יִמָּסֵר בֶּן־הָאָדָם טוֹב לָאִישׁ הַהוּא שֶׁלֹּא נוֹלָד	21 Yes, the Son of man is going to his fate, as the scriptures say he will, but alas for that man by whomthe Son of man is betrayed! Better for that man if he had never been born.'
22 וַיְהִי בְאָכְלָם וַיִּקַּח יֵשׁוּעַ לֶחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם וַיֹּאמַר קְחוּ אִכְלוּ זֶה הוּא גוּפִי	22 And as they were eating he took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it tothem. 'Take it,' he said, 'this is my body.'
23 וַיִּקַח אֶת־הַכּוֹס וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם וַיִּשְׁתּוּ מִמֶּנָּה כֻּלָּם	23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them, and al drank from it,
24 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם זֶה הוּא דָמִי דַּם־הַבְּרִית הַחֲדָשָׁה הַנִּשְׁפָּךְ בְּעַד רַבִּים	24 and he said to them, 'This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many.
25 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם שָׁתֹה לֹא־אֶשְׁתֶּה עוֹד מִתְּנוּבַת הַגֶּפֶן עַד־הַיּוֹם הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁתֶּה אוֹתָהּ חֲדָשָׁה בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	25 In truth I tel you, I shal never drink wine any more until the day I drink the new wine in the kingdomof God.'
26 וְאַחֲרֵי גָּמְרָם אֶת־הַהַלֵּל וַיֵּצְאוּ אֶל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים	26 After the psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives.
27 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אַתֶּם כֻּלְּכֶם תִּכָּשְׁלוּ בִי בַּלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כִּי כָתוּב אַכֶּה אֶת־הָרֹעֶה וּתְפוּצֶיןָ הַצֹּאן	27 And Jesus said to them, 'You wil all fal away, for the scripture says: I shal strike the shepherd andthe sheep wil be scattered;
28 וְאַחֲרֵי קוּמִי מִן הַמֵּתִים אֵלֵךְ לִפְנֵיכֶם הַגָּלִילָה	28 however, after my resurrection I shall go before you into Galilee.'
29 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פֶּטְרוֹס גַּם אִם־כֻּלָּם יִכָּשְׁלוּ אֲנִי לֹא אֶכָּשֵׁל	29 Peter said, 'Even if all fal away, I wil not.'
30 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לְךָ כִּי הַיּוֹם בַּלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה בְּטֶרֶם יִקְרָא הַתַּרְנְגוֹל פַּעֲמַיִם אַתָּה תְכַחֶשׁ־בִּי שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים	30 And Jesus said to him, 'In truth I tel you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, youwil have disowned me three times.'
31 וַיּוֹסֶף לְדַבֵּר בְּחָזְקָה וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם כִּי־יִהְיֶה עָלַי לָמוּת אִתְּךָ כַּחֵשׁ לֹא־אֲכַחֵשׁ בָּךְ וְכֵן אָמְרוּ גַּם־כֻּלָּם	31 But he repeated stil more earnestly, 'If I have to die with you, I wil never disown you.' And they allsaid the same.
32 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־חָצֵר גַּת־שְׁמָנִים שְׁמוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו שְׁבוּ־לָכֶם פֹּה עַד אֲשֶׁר אֶתְפַּלָּל	32 They came to a plot of land cal ed Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I pray.'
33 וַיִּקַּח אִתּוֹ אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיָּחֶל לְהַשְׁמִים וְלָמוּג	33 Then he took Peter and James and John with him.
34 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נַפְשִׁי מָרָה־לִי עַד־מָוֶת עִמְדוּ־פֹה וּשְׁקֹדוּ	34 And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point ofdeath. Wait here, and stay awake.'
35 וַיַּעֲבֹר מִשָּׁם מְעַט וָהָלְאָה וַיִּפֹּל אַרְצָה וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֲשֶׁר אִם־יוּכַל הֱיוֹת תַּעֲבָר־נָא מֵעָלָיו הַשָּׁעָה הַזֹּאת	35 And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, thishour might pass him by.
36 וַיֹּאמֶר אַבָּא אָבִי הַכֹּל תּוּכָל הַעֲבֵר־נָא מֵעָלַי אֶת־הַכּוֹס הַזֹּאת אַךְ־לֹא אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי רוֹצֶה כִּי אִם־אֵת אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה	36 'Abba, Father!' he said, 'For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be asyou, not I, would have it.'
37 וַיָּבֹא וַיִּמְצָאֵם יְשֵׁנִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס שִׁמְעוֹן הֲתִישַׁן הֲכִי־לֹא יָכֹלְתָּ לִשְׁקֹד שָׁעָה אֶחָת	37 He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'Simon, are you asleep? Had you notthe strength to stay awake one hour?
38 שִׁקְדוּ וְהִתְפַּלְלוּ פֶּן־תָּבֹאוּ לִידֵי נִסָּיוֹן הֵן הָרוּחַ הִיא חֲפֵצָה וְהַבָּשָׂר רָפֶה	38 Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is wil ing enough, but human nature is weak.'
39 וַיֹּסֶף לָסוּר וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל בְּאָמְרוֹ עוֹד־הַפַּעַם כַּדְּבָרִים הָהֵמָּה	39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
40 וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּמְצָאֵם שֵׁנִית יְשֵׁנִים כִּי עֵינֵיהֶם הָיוּ כְבֵדוֹת וְלֹא יָדְעוּ מַה־יַּעֲנֻהוּ	40 And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they couldfind no answer for him.
41 וַיָּבֹא פַּעַם שְׁלִישִׁית וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מֵעַתָּה נוּמוּ וְנוּחוּ רַב־לִי כִּי־בָאָה הַשָּׁעָה הִנֵּה בֶן־הָאָדָם נִמְסַר בִּידֵי חַטָּאִים	41 He came back a third time and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is al over.The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 קוּמוּ וְנֵלֵכָה הִנֵּה הַמּוֹסֵר אוֹתִי קָרֵב	42 Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.'
43 עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר וִיהוּדָה בָא וְהוּא אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וְעִמּוֹ הָמוֹן רַב בַּחֲרָבוֹת וּבְמַקְלוֹת מֵאֵת הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים	43 And at once, while he was stil speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a numberof men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 וְהַמּוֹסֵר אוֹתוֹ נָתַן לָהֶם אוֹת לֵאמֹר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֶשָּקֵהוּ זֶה הוּא אֹתוֹ תִפְשֹוּ וְהוֹלִיכֻהוּ אַל־יִמָּלֵט	44 Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, 'The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him,and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.'
45 הוּא בָא וְהוּא נִגַּשׁ אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר רַבִּי רַבִּי וַיְנַשֶּק־לוֹ	45 So when the traitor came, he went up to Jesus at once and said, 'Rabbi!' and kissed him.
46 וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ־בוֹ אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וַיִּתְפְּשֻׂהוּ	46 The others seized him and arrested him.
47 וְאֶחָד מִן־הָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ שָׁלַף אֶת־חַרְבּוֹ וַיַּךְ אֶת־עֶבֶד הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־אָזְנוֹ	47 Then one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck out at the high priest's servant and cut off hisear.
48 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כְּמוֹ עַל־פָּרִיץ יְצָאתֶם עָלַי בַּחֲרָבוֹת וּבְמַקְלוֹת לְתָפְשֵׂנִי	48 Then Jesus spoke. 'Am I a bandit,' he said, 'that you had to set out to capture me with swords andclubs?
49 וְיוֹם יוֹם הָיִיתִי אֶצְלְכֶם מְלַמֵּד בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וְלֹא הֶחֱזַקְתֶּם בִּי אֲבָל לְמַעַן יִמָּלְאוּ הַכְּתוּבִים	49 I was among you teaching in the Temple day after day and you never laid a hand on me. But this isto fulfil the scriptures.'
50 וַיַּעַזְבוּ אוֹתוֹ כֻּלָּם וַיָּנוּסוּ	50 And they al deserted him and ran away.
51 וְנַעַר אֶחָד הָלַךְ אַחֲרָיו מְעֻטָּף בְּסָדִין לְכַסּוֹת אֶת־עֶרְוָתוֹ וַיֹּאחֲזֻהוּ הַנְּעָרִים	51 A young man fol owed with nothing on but a linen cloth. They caught hold of him,
52 וְהוּא עָזַב אֶת־הַסָּדִין בְּיָדָם וַיָּנָס עָרֹם מִפְּנֵיהֶם	52 but he left the cloth in their hands and ran away naked.
53 וַיּוֹלִיכוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ אִתּוֹ כָּל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים	53 They led Jesus off to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribesassembled there.
54 וּפֶטְרוֹס הָלַךְ אַחֲרָיו מֵרָחוֹק עַד־לַחֲצַר הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל פְּנִימָה וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם עִם־הַמְשָׁרְתִים וַיִּתְחַמֵּם נֶגֶד הָאוּר	54 Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the high priest's palace, and was sitting with theattendants warming himself at the fire.
55 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בִּקְשׁוּ עֵדוּת עַל־יֵשׁוּעַ לַהֲמִיתוֹ וְלֹא מָצָאוּ	55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus in order to havehim executed. But they could not find any.
56 כִּי רַבִּים עָנוּ בוֹ עֵדוּת שָׁקֶר אַךְ הָעֵדֻיּוֹת לֹא הָיוּ שָׁוֺת	56 Several, indeed, brought false witness against him, but their evidence was conflicting.
57 וַיָּקוּמוּ אֲנָשִׁים וַיַּעֲנוּ בוֹ עֵדוּת שָׁקֶר לֵאמֹר	57 Some stood up and submitted this false evidence against him,
58 שָׁמַעְנוּ אֹתוֹ אֹמֵר אֲנִי אֶהֱרֹס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל הַזֶּה מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם וְלִשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים אֶבְנֶה הֵיכָל אַחֵר אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם	58 'We heard him say, "I am going to destroy this Temple made by human hands, and in three daysbuild another, not made by human hands." '
59 וְגַם־בָּזֹאת עֵדוּתָם לֹא שָׁוָתָה	59 But even on this point their evidence was conflicting.
60 וַיָּקָם הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיַּעֲמֹד בַּתָּוֶךְ וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר עַל־אֲשֶׁר אֵלֶּה עֹנִים בָּךְ	60 The high priest then rose before the whole assembly and put this question to Jesus, 'Have you noanswer to that? What is this evidence these men are bringing against you?'
61 וְהוּא הֶחֱרִישׁ וְלֹא הֵשִׁיב דָּבָר וַיּוֹסֶף עוֹד הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל לִשְׁאֹל אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאַתָּה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הַמְבֹרָךְ	61 But he was silent and made no answer at all. The high priest put a second question to him saying,'Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?'
62 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲנִי הוּא וְאַתֶּם תִּרְאוּ אֶת־בֶּן־הָאָדָם יוֹשֵׁב לִימִין הַגְּבוּרָה וּבָא עִם־עַנְנֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם	62 'I am,' said Jesus, 'and you wil see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Power and comingwith the clouds of heaven.'
63 וַיִּקְרַע הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיֹּאמַר מַה־לָּנוּ עוֹד לְבַקֵּשׁ עֵדִים	63 The high priest tore his robes and said, 'What need of witnesses have we now?
64 שְׁמַעְתֶּם אֶת־הַגִּדּוּף מַה־דַּעְתְּכֶם וַיַּרְשִׁיעֻהוּ כֻלָּם כִּי־חַיַּב מִיתָה הוּא	64 You heard the blasphemy. What is your finding?' Their verdict was unanimous: he deserved to die.
65 וַיָּחֵלּוּ מֵהֶם לָרֹק בּוֹ וַיְחַפּוּ אֶת־פָּנָיו וַיַּכֻּהוּ בְאֶגְרֹף וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הִנָּבֵא וְהַמְשָׁרְתִים הִכְאִיבֻהוּ בְּהַכּוֹתָם אוֹתוֹ עַל־הַלֶּחִי	65 Some of them started spitting at his face, hitting him and saying, 'Play the prophet!' And theattendants struck him too.
66 וַיְהִי בִּהְיוֹת פֶּטְרוֹס לְמַטָּה בֶחָצֵר וַתָּבֹא אַחַת מִשִּׁפְחוֹת הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל	66 While Peter was down below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's servant-girls came up.
67 וַתֵּרֶא אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס כִּי מִתְחַמֵּם הוּא וַתַּבֶּט־בּוֹ וַתֹּאמַר גַּם־אַתָּה הָיִיתָ עִם־הַנָּצְרִי יֵשׁוּעַ	67 She saw Peter warming himself there, looked closely at him and said, 'You too were with Jesus, theman from Nazareth.'
68 וַיְכַחֵשׁ לֵאמֹר לֹא אֵדַע וְלֹא אָבִין מָה אַתְּ אֹמָרֶת וַיֵּצֵא הַחוּצָה אֶל־הָאוּלָם וְהַתַּרְנְגֹל קָרָא	68 But he denied it. 'I do not know, I do not understand what you are talking about,' he said. And hewent out into the forecourt, and a cock crowed.
69 וַתִּרְאֵהוּ הַשִּׁפְחָה וַתּוֹסֶף וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם כִּי זֶה הוּא אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיְכַחֵשׁ פַּעַם שֵׁנִית	69 The servant-girl saw him and again started tel ing the bystanders, 'This man is one of them.'
70 וְכִמְעַט אַחֲרֵי־כֵן גַּם־הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם אָמְרוּ אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס אָמְנָם אַתָּה אֶחָד מֵהֶם כִּי אַף־גְּלִילִי אַתָּה וּלְשׁוֹנְךָ כִּלְשׁוֹנָם	70 But again he denied it. A little later the bystanders themselves said to Peter, 'You are certainly one ofthem! Why, you are a Galilean.'
71 וַיָּחֶל לְהַחֲרִים אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וּלְהִשָּׁבֵעַ לֵאמֹר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם	71 But he started cursing and swearing, 'I do not know the man you speak of.'
72 וְהַתַּרְנְגֹל קָרָא פַּעַם שֵׁנִית וַיִּזְכֹּר פֶּטְרוֹס אֶת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר־לוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּטֶרֶם יִקְרָא הַתַּרְנְגֹל פַּעֲמַיִם תְּכַחֵשׁ בִּי שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים וַיָּשֶׂם אֶל־לִבּוֹ וַיֵּבְךְּ	72 And at once the cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recalled what Jesus had said to him,'Before the cock crows twice, you will have disowned me three times.' And he burst into tears.
