Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 26

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους παντας τους λογους τουτους, ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου?	1 Jesus had now finished al he wanted to say, and he told his disciples,
2 Εξευρετε οτι μετα δυο ημερας γινεται το πασχα, και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου παραδιδεται δια να σταυρωθη.	2 'It wil be Passover, as you know, in two days' time, and the Son of man wil be handed over to becrucified.'
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, whosename was Caiaphas,
4 και συνεβουλευθησαν να συλλαβωσι τον Ιησουν με δολον και να θανατωσωσιν.	4 and made plans to arrest Jesus by some trick and have him put to death.
5 Ελεγον δε? μη εν τη εορτη, δια να μη γεινη θορυβος εν τω λαω.	5 They said, however, 'It must not be during the festivities; there must be no disturbance among thepeople.'
6 Οτε δε ο Ιησους ητο εν Βηθανια εν τη οικια Σιμωνος του λεπρου,	6 Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a virulent skin-disease,when
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 to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and poured it on his head ashe was at table.
8 Ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου, ηγανακτησαν λεγοντες? Εις τι η απωλεια αυτη;	8 When they saw this, the disciples said indignantly, 'Why this waste?
9 διοτι ηδυνατο τουτο το μυρον να πωληθη με πολλην τιμην και να δοθη εις τους πτωχους.	9 This could have been sold for a high price and the money given the poor.'
10 Νοησας δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι ενοχλειτε την γυναικα; διοτι εργον καλον επραξεν εις εμε.	10 But Jesus noticed this and said, 'Why are you upsetting the woman? What she has done for me isindeed a good work!
11 Διοτι τους πτωχους παντοτε εχετε μεθ' εαυτων, εμε ομως παντοτε δεν εχετε.	11 You have the poor with you always, but you wil not always have me.
12 Επειδη χυσασα αυτη το μυρον τουτο επι του σωματος μου, εκαμε τουτο δια τον ενταφιασμον μου.	12 When she poured this ointment on 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 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.'
14 Τοτε υπηγεν εις των δωδεκα, ο λεγομενος Ιουδας Ισκαριωτης, προς τους αρχιερεις	14 Then one of the Twelve, the man cal ed Judas Iscariot, 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 prepared to give me if I hand him over to you?' They paid him thirty silverpieces,
16 Και απο τοτε εζητει ευκαιριαν δια να παραδωση αυτον.	16 and from then onwards he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.
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 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?'
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 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." '
19 Και εκαμον οι μαθηται καθως παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους ο Ιησους, και ητοιμασαν το πασχα.	19 The disciples did what Jesus told them and prepared the Passover.
20 Οτε δε εγεινεν εσπερα, εκαθητο εις την τραπεζαν μετα των δωδεκα.	20 When evening came he was 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, 'In truth I tell you, one of you is about to betray me.'
22 Και λυπουμενοι σφοδρα, ηρχισαν να λεγωσι προς αυτον εκαστος αυτων? Μηπως εγω ειμαι, Κυριε;	22 They were greatly distressed and started asking him in turn, 'Not me, Lord, surely?'
23 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν? Ο εμβαψας μετ' εμου εν τω πινακιω την χειρα, ουτος θελει με παραδωσει.	23 He answered, 'Someone who has dipped his hand into the dish with me wil 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 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!'
25 Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιουδας, οστις παρεδιδεν αυτον, ειπε? Μηπως εγω ειμαι, Ραββι; Λεγει προς αυτον? Συ ειπας.	25 Judas, who was to betray him, asked in his turn, 'Not me, Rabbi, surely?' Jesus answered, 'It is youwho say it.'
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 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.'
27 και λαβων το ποτηριον και ευχαριστησας, εδωκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Πιετε εξ αυτου παντες?	27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, 'Drink from this, allof 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, the blood of the covenant, poured out for 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 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.'
30 Και αφου υμνησαν, εξηλθον εις το ορος των ελαιων.	30 After the psalms had been sung they left for 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, '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,
32 αφου δε αναστηθω, θελω υπαγει προτερον υμων εις την Γαλιλαιαν.	32 but after my resurrection I shal go ahead of you to Galilee.'
33 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος, ειπε προς αυτον? Και αν παντες σκανδαλισθωσιν εν σοι, εγω ποτε δεν θελω σκανδαλισθη.	33 At this, Peter said to him, 'Even if al fal away from you, I wil never fal away.'
34 Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αληθως σοι λεγω οτι ταυτην την νυκτα, πριν φωναξη ο αλεκτωρ, τρις θελεις με απαρνηθη.	34 Jesus answered him, 'In truth I tel you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will have disownedme 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 if I have to die with you, I wil never disown you.' And al the disciples saidthe same.
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 plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stayhere while I go over there to pray.'
37 Και παραλαβων τον Πετρον και τους δυο υιους του Ζεβεδαιου, ηρχισε να λυπηται και να αδημονη.	37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish.
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 to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake 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 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.'
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 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?
41 αγρυπνειτε και προσευχεσθε, δια να μη εισελθητε εις πειρασμον. Το μεν πνευμα προθυμον, η δε σαρξ ασθενης.	41 Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature isweak.'
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 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!'
43 Και ελθων ευρισκει αυτους παλιν κοιμωμενους? διοτι οι οφθαλμοι αυτων ησαν βεβαρημενοι.	43 And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy.
44 Και αφησας αυτους υπηγε παλιν και προσευχηθη εκ τριτου, ειπων τον αυτον λογον.	44 Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words.
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 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.
46 Εγερθητε, ας υπαγωμεν? Ιδου, επλησιασεν ο παραδιδων με.	46 Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'
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 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.
48 Ο δε παραδιδων αυτον εδωκεν εις αυτους σημειον, λεγων? Οντινα φιλησω, αυτος ειναι? πιασατε αυτον.	48 Now the traitor had arranged a sign with them saying, 'The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him.'
49 Και ευθυς πλησιασας προς τον Ιησουν, ειπε? Χαιρε, Ραββι, και κατεφιλησεν αυτον.	49 So he went up to Jesus at once and said, 'Greetings, Rabbi,' and 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 said to him, 'My friend, do what you are here for.' Then they came forward, seized Jesus andarrested 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 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.
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 Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for al who draw the sword wil die 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 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, who would promptly send more than twelvelegions of angels to my defence?
54 πως λοιπον θελουσι πληρωθη αι γραφαι οτι ουτω πρεπει να γεινη;	54 But then, how would the scriptures be fulfil ed that say this is the way it must be?'
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 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.'
56 Τουτο δε ολον εγεινε δια να πληρωθωσιν αι γραφαι των προφητων. Τοτε οι μαθηται παντες αφησαντες αυτον εφυγον.	56 Now al this happened to fulfil the prophecies in scripture. Then al the disciples deserted him and ranaway.
57 Οι δε πιασαντες τον Ιησουν εφεραν προς Καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα, οπου συνηχθησαν οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι.	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.
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 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.
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 whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus, however false,on which they might have him executed.
60 και δεν ευρον? και πολλων ψευδομαρτυρων προσελθοντων, δεν ευρον. Υστερον δε προσελθοντες δυο ψευδομαρτυρες,	60 But they could not find any, though several lying witnesses came forward. Eventually two cameforward
61 ειπον? Ουτος ειπε, Δυναμαι να χαλασω τον ναον του Θεου και δια τριων ημερων να οικοδομησω αυτον.	61 and made a statement, 'This man said, "I have power to destroy the Temple of God and in three daysbuild it up." '
62 Και σηκωθεις ο αρχιερευς ειπε προς αυτον? Δεν αποκρινεσαι; τι μαρτυρουσιν ουτοι κατα σου;	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?'
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. 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.'
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 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.'
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 clothes and said, 'He has blasphemed. What need of witnesses have wenow? There! You have just heard the blasphemy.
66 τι σας φαινεται; Και εκεινοι αποκριθεντες ειπον? Ενοχος θανατου ειναι.	66 What is your opinion?' They answered, '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 hit him with their fists; others said as they struck him,
68 λεγοντες? Προφητευσον εις ημας, Χριστε, τις ειναι οστις σε εκτυπησεν;	68 'Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit you then?'
69 Ο δε Πετρος εκαθητο εξω εν τη αυλη και προσηλθε προς αυτον μια δουλη, λεγουσα? Και συ ησο μετα Ιησου του Γαλιλαιου.	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.'
70 Ο δε ηρνηθη εμπροσθεν παντων, λεγων? Δεν εξευρω τι λεγεις.	70 But he denied it in front of them al . 'I do not know what you are talking about,' he said.
71 Και οτε εξηλθεν εις τον πυλωνα, ειδεν αυτον αλλη και λεγει προς τους εκει, Και ουτος ητο μετα Ιησου του Ναζωραιου.	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.'
72 Και παλιν ηρνηθη μεθ' ορκου οτι δεν γνωριζω τον ανθρωπον.	72 And again, with an oath, he denied it, '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 up and said to Peter, 'You are certainly one of them too! Why, youraccent gives you away.'
74 Τοτε ηρχισε να καταναθεματιζη και να ομνυη οτι δεν γνωριζω τον ανθρωπον. Και ευθυς εφωναξεν ο αλεκτωρ.	74 Then he started cursing and swearing, 'I do not know the man.' And at once the 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 and Peter remembered what Jesus had said, 'Before the cock crows you wil have disowned methree times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly.
