STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיִּקְרַב חַג הַמַּצּוֹת הַנִּקְרָא פָּסַח	1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand.
2 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים מְבַקְשִׁים אֵיךְ יַהַרְגֻהוּ כִּי יָרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הָעָם	2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people.
3 וְהַשָּׂטָן נִכְנַס בִּיהוּדָה הַמְכֻנֶּה אִישׁ־קְרִיּוֹת וְהוּא בְּמִסְפַּר שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר	3 And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיְדַבֵּר עִם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְשָׂרֵי הֶחָיִל אֵיךְ יִמְסְרֶנּוּ אֶל־יָדָם	4 And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.
5 וַיִּשְׂמָחוּ וַיֵּאֹתוּ לָתֶת־לוֹ כָסֶף	5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 וַיַּבְטַח אֹתָם וַיְבַקֵּשׁ תּוֹאֲנָה לְמָסְרוֹ אֲלֵיהֶם שֶׁלֹּא לְעֵינֵי הֶהָמוֹן	6 And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.
7 וַיָּבֹא יוֹם הַמַּצּוֹת אֲשֶׁר זָבוֹחַ יִזָּבַח־בּוֹ הַפָּסַח	7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.
8 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן לֵאמֹר לְכוּ וְהָכִינוּ לָנוּ אֶת־הַפֶּסַח וְנֹאכֵלָה	8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.
9 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו בְּאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם תַּחְפֹּץ כִּי־נָכִין אוֹתוֹ	9 But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הִנֵּה אַתֶּם בָּאִים הָעִירָה וּפָגַע אֶתְכֶם אִישׁ נֹשֵׂא צַפַּחַת מָיִם לְכוּ אַחֲרָיו אֶל־הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא שָׁמָּה	10 And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 וַאֲמַרְתֶּם אֶל־בַּעַל הַבָּיִת כֹּה אָמַר־לְךָ הָרַב אַיֵּה הַמָּלוֹן אֲשֶׁר אֹכְלָה־שָּׁם אֶת־הַפֶּסַח עִם־תַּלְמִידָי	11 And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?
12 וְהוּא יַרְאֶה אֶתְכֶם עֲלִיָּה גְדוֹלָה מֻצָּעָה שָׁם תָּכִינוּ	12 And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.
13 וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיִּמְצְאוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם וַיָּכִינוּ אֶת־הַפָּסַח	13 And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.
14 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הִגִּיעָה הַשָּׁעָה וַיָּסֶב הוּא וּשְׁנֵים־עָשָׂר הַשְּׁלִיחִים אִתּוֹ	14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נִכְסֹף נִכְסַפְתִּי לֶאֱכֹל אִתְכֶם אֶת־הַפֶּסַח הַזֶּה לִפְנֵי עֻנּוֹתִי	15 And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.
16 כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אֵינֶנִּי אֹכֵל אוֹתוֹ עוֹד עַד כִּי־יִמָּלֵא בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	16 For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַכּוֹס וַיְבָרֵךְ וַיֹּאמֶר קְחוּ אֹתָהּ וְחַלְּקוּ בֵּינֵיכֶם	17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:
18 כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם שָׁתֹה לֹא אֶשְׁתֶּה מֵעַתָּה מִתְּנוּבַת הַגָּפֶן עַד כִּי־תָבוֹא מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	18 For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.
19 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם לֵאמֹר זֶה גוּפִי הַנִּתָּן בַּעַדְכֶם זֹאת עֲשֹוּ לְזִכְרוֹנִי	19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
20 וְכֵן גַּם־אֶת־הַכּוֹס אַחַר הַסְּעוּדָה לֵאמֹר זוֹ הַכּוֹס הִיא הַבְּרִית הַחֲדָשָׁה בְּדָמִי הַנִּשְׁפָּךְ בַּעַדְכֶם	20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.
21 אַךְ הִנֵּה יַד־הַמֹּסֵר אוֹתִי אִתִּי עַל־הַשֻּׁלְחָן	21 But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 כִּי הֵן בֶּן־הָאָדָם הֹלֵךְ לוֹ כְּפִי אֲשֶׁר נֶחֱרָץ עָלָיו אֲבָל אוֹי לָאִישׁ הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ יִמָּסֵר	22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.
23 וְהֵם הֵחֵלּוּ לַחֲקֹר אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ מִי־הוּא זֶה מֵהֶם אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת	23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24 וְגַם־מְרִיבָה הָיְתָה בֵינֵיהֶם מִי יֵחָשֵׁב לִהְיוֹת הַגָּדוֹל בָּהֶם	24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַלְכֵי הַגּוֹיִם רוֹדִים בָּהֶם וְשַׁלִּיטֵיהֶם יִקָּרְאוּ עֹשֵׂי חָסֶד	25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.
26 וְאַתֶּם לֹא־כֵן כִּי הַגָּדוֹל בָּכֶם יִהְיֶה כַצָּעִיר וְהַמּשֵׁל יִהְיֶה כַמְּשָׁרֵת	26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.
27 כִּי מִי הוּא הַגָּדוֹל אִם־הַמֵּסֵב אוֹ הַמְשָׁרֵת הֲלֹא הַמֵּסֵב וַאֲנִי הִנְנִי בְתוֹכְכֶם כְּמוֹ הַמְשָׁרֵת	27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:
28 וְאַתֶּם הֵם הָעֹמְדִים עִמָּדִי עַד־עַתָּה בְּנִסְיוֹנֹתָי	28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
29 לָכֵן אֲנִי מַנְחִיל אֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר הִנְחִילַנִי אָבִי אֵת הַמַּלְכוּת	29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;
30 לְמַעַן תֹּאכְלוּ וְתִשְׁתּוּ עַל־שֻׁלְחָנִי בְּמַלְכוּתִי וִישַׁבְתֶּם עַל־כִּסְאוֹת לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 וַיֹּאמֶר הָאָדוֹן שִׁמְעוֹן שִׁמְעוֹן הִנֵּה תָּבַע אֶתְכֶם הַשָּׂטָן לִזְרוֹתְכֶם כַּחִטִּים	31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 וַאֲנִי הִתְפַּלַּלְתִּי בַעַדְךָ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תִכְלֶה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ וְאַתָּה כַּאֲשֶׁר תָּשׁוּב חַזֵּק אֶת־אַחֶיךָ	32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
33 וְהוּא אָמַר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי הִנְנִי נָכוֹן לָלֶכֶת אִתְּךָ גַּם לְבֵית הָאֲסוּרִים גַּם לַמָּוֶת	33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 וַיֹּאמַר אֲנִי אֹמֵר לְךָ פֶּטְרוֹס לֹא־יִקְרָא תַרְנְגֹל הַיּוֹם עַד כִּי־שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים כִּחַשְׁתָּ בִּי לֵאמֹר לֹא יְדַעְתִּיו	34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
35 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁלַחְתִּי אֶתְכֶם בְּלִי־כִיס וְתַרְמִיל וּנְעָלִים הַחֲסַרְתֶּם דָּבָר וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא חָסַרְנוּ כָּל־דָּבָר	35 When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?
36 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אָכֵן עַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ כִיס יִשָּׂאֵהוּ וְכֵן גַּם־אֶת־הַתַּרְמִיל וַאֲשֶׁר אֵין־לוֹ הוּא יִמְכֹּר אֶת־בִּגְדוֹ וְיִקְנֶה חָרֶב	36 But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37 כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אֲשֶׁר־צָרִיךְ עוֹד לְהִתְמַלֵּא בִי הַכָּתוּב הַזֶּה וְאֶת־פּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה כִּי כָל־הַכָּתוּב עָלַי בָּא עַד־קִצּוֹ	37 For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.
38 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ הִנֵּה־פֹה שְׁתֵּי חֲרָבוֹת וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם דָּי	38 But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 וַיֵּצֵא וַיֵּלֶךְ כְּיוֹם בְּיוֹם עַל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו גַּם־תַּלְמִידָיו	39 And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
40 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הִתְפַּלְלוּ לְבִלְתִּי־בוֹא לִידֵי נִסָּיוֹן	40 And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 וְהוּא נִפְרַד מֵהֶם הַרְחֵק כִּקְלֹעַ אָבֶן וַיִּכְרַע עַל־בִּרְכָּיו וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל לֵאמֹר	41 And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,
42 אָבִי אִם־רְצוֹנְךָ לְהַעֲבִיר מֵעָלַי אֶת־הַכּוֹס הַזֹּאת אַךְ אַל־יְהִי כִרְצוֹנִי כִּי אִם־כִּרְצוֹנֶךָ	42 Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.
43 וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו מַלְאָךְ מִן־הַשָּׁמָיִם וַיְחַזְּקֵהוּ	43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.
44 וַיָּבֹאוּ עָלָיו חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וַיּוֹסֶף לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בְּחָזְקָה וַתְּהִי זֵעָתוֹ כְּנִטְפֵי דָם יֹרְדִים לָאָרֶץ	44 And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.
45 וַיָּקָם מֵהִתְפַּלֵּל וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיִּמְצָאֵם יְשֵׁנִים מִיָּגוֹן	45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.
46 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לָמָּה תִישְׁנוּ קוּמוּ וְהִתְפַּלְלוּ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תָבֹאוּ לִידֵי נִסָּיוֹן	46 And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
47 עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר וְהִנֵּה הָמוֹן וְאֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר הַנִּקְרָא יְהוּדָה הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיִּקְרַב אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ לִנְשָׁק־לוֹ	47 As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.
48 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו יְהוּדָה הֲבִנְשִׁיקָה אַתָּה מוֹסֵר אֶת־בֶּן־הָאָדָם	48 And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
49 וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ רֹאִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֲדֹנֵינוּ הֲנַכֶּה בֶחָרֶב	49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
50 וַיַּךְ אֶחָד מֵהֶם אֶת־עֶבֶד הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־אָזְנוֹ הַיְמָנִית	50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר רַב עַתָּה הַרְפּוּ וַיִּגַּע בְּאָזְנוֹ וַיִּרְפָּאֵהוּ	51 But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְהַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ עָלָיו לֵאמֹר כְּמוֹ עַל־פָּרִיץ יְצָאתֶם עָלַי בַּחֲרָבוֹת וּבְמַקְּלוֹת	52 And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?
53 וָאֱהִי אֶצְלְכֶם יוֹם יוֹם בַּהֵיכָל וְלֹא־שְׁלַחְתֶּם בִּי יָד וְאוּלָם זֹאת הִיא שְׁעַתְכֶם וְשָׁלְטַן הַחשֶׁךְ	53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 וַיִּתְפְּשֹוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ וַיְבִיאֻהוּ בֵּית הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וּפֶטְרוֹס הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרָיו מֵרָחוֹק	54 And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.
55 וַיְהִי כִּי־בִעֲרוּ אֵשׁ בְּתוֹךְ הֶחָצֵר וַיֵּשְׁבוּ יַחְדָּו וַיֵּשֶׁב גַּם־פֶּטְרוֹס בְּתוֹכָם	55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.
56 וַתִּרְאֵהוּ הַשִּׁפְחָה יוֹשֵׁב נֶגֶד הָאוּר וַתַּבֶּט־בּוֹ וַתֹּאמֶר גַּם־זֶה הָיָה עִמּוֹ	56 Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.
57 וַיְכַחֶשׁ־בּוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אִשָּׁה לֹא יְדַעְתִּיו	57 But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.
58 וְאַחֲרֵי־מְעַט רָאָהוּ אָדָם אַחֵר וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם־אַתָּה מֵהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס לֹא אָדָם כִּי אֵינֶנִּי	58 And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not.
59 וְאַחֲרֵי עֲבֹר כְּשָׁעָה אַחַת טָעַן עָלָיו אִישׁ אַחֵר לֵאמֹר אָמְנָם גַּם־זֶה הָיָה עִמּוֹ כִּי אַף־הוּא גְּלִילִי	59 And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean.
60 וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס בֶּן־אָדָם לֹא יָדַעְתִּי מָה אַתָּה אֹמֵר וְהוּא עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר וְהַתַּרְנְגֹל קָרָא	60 And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
61 וַיִּפֶן הָאָדוֹן וַיַּבֵּט אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס וַיִּזְכֹּר פֶּטְרוֹס אֶת־דְּבַר הָאָדוֹן אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֵלָיו כִּי־בְטֶרֶם יִקְרָא הַתַּרְנְגֹל תְּכַחֶשׁ־בִּי שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים	61 And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 וַיֵּצֵא פֶּטְרוֹס הַחוּצָה וַיְמָרֵר בַּבֶּכִי	62 And Peter going out, wept bitterly.
63 וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אָחֲזוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הִתְעַלְּלוּ בוֹ וַיַּכֻּהוּ	63 And the men that held him, mocked him, and struck him.
64 וַיֶּחֱפוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ וַיַּכֻּהוּ עַל־פָּנָיו וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ לֵאמֹר הִנָּבֵא מִי הוּא הַהֹלֵם אוֹתָךְ	64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?
65 וְעוֹד גִּדּוּפִים אֲחֵרִים הִרְבּוּ עָלָיו	65 And blaspheming, many other things they said against him.
66 וּבִהְיֹת הַבֹּקֶר נִקְהֲלוּ זִקְנֵי הָעָם וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וַיַּעֲלֻהוּ לִפְנֵי הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין שֶׁלָּהֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַאַתָּה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֱמָר־לָנוּ	66 And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes, cane together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.
67 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כִּי אַגִּיד לָכֶם לֹא תַאֲמִינוּ	67 And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me.
68 וְגַם אִם־אֶשְׁאַל לֹא־תָשִׁיבוּ דָבָר וְלֹא תְשַׁלְּחוּנִי	68 And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 אֲבָל מֵעַתָּה יִהְיֶה בֶן־הָאָדָם ישֵׁב לִימִין גְּבוּרַת הָאֱלֹהִים	69 But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.
70 וַיֹּאמְרוּ כֻלָּם הֲכִי־אַתָּה הוּא בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַתֶּם אֲמַרְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא	70 Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am.
71 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַה־לָּנוּ עוֹד לְבַקֵּשׁ עֵדוּת הֲלֹא בְאָזְנֵינוּ שְׁמַעְנוּהָ מִפִּיו	71 And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.
