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