And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

“You know that the Passover begins in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Οἴδατε ὅτι μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας τὸ Πάσχα γίνεται, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς τὸ σταυρωθῆναι.
Oidate hoti meta dyo hēmeras to Pascha ginetai, kai ho huios tou anthrōpou paradidotai eis to staurōthēnai.
At that same time, the chief priests, scribes, and elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Τότε συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τοῦ λεγομένου Καϊάφα,

They plotted together to seize Jesus by deception and kill Him.
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν Ἰησοῦν δόλῳ κρατήσωσιν καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν.

But they said, “Not during the festival, or there may be an uproar among the people.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

While Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper,
¶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ γενομένου ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐν οἰκίᾳ Σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ,
Tou de Iēsou genomenou en Bēthania en oikia Simōnos tou leprou,
a woman approached Him carrying an alabaster jar filled with extremely expensive perfume. As Jesus was reclining at the table, she poured it over His head.
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ γυνὴ ἀλάβαστρον μύρου ἔχουσα βαρυτίμου, καὶ κατέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου.

When His disciples saw this, they became angry.
“Why this waste?” they asked.
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠγανάκτησαν, λέγοντες, Εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη;
Idontes de hoi mathētai autou ēganaktēsan, legontes, Eis ti hē apōleia hautē?
“This perfume could have been sold for a great deal of money, and the money could have been given to the poor.”
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
Ἠδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο τὸ μύρον πραθῆναι πολλοῦ, καὶ δοθῆναι πτωχοῖς.
Ēdynato gar touto to myron prathēnai pollou, kai dothēnai ptōchois.
Jesus knew what they were saying and told them, “Why are you troubling this woman? She has done something beautiful for Me.
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί; Ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν εἰργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ.

You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me with you.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
Pantote gar tous ptōchous echete meth’ heautōn, eme de ou pantote echete.
When she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
Βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου, πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν.

I tell you the truth: wherever this gospel is proclaimed throughout the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς.

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare the Passover meal for You?”
¶ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ τῶν ἀζύμων προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ, λέγοντες αὐτῷ, Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσομέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ Πάσχα;

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα, καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῷ, Ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει, Ὁ καιρός μου ἐγγύς ἐστιν∙ πρός σε ποιῶ τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου.

While they were eating, He said, “I tell you the truth: one of you will betray Me.”

The disciples became deeply grieved, and one after another they began asking Him, “Surely it isn’t me, Lord?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

The Son of Man is going just as Scripture has written about Him. But how terrible it will be for the man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born.”
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει, καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ∙ οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι’ οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται∙ καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.

Then Judas, the one betraying Him, asked, “Surely it isn’t me, Rabbi?”
Jesus answered him, “You have said it.”
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν, Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ῥαββί; Λέγει αὐτῷ, Σὺ εἶπας.

Then Jesus told them, “All of you will stumble because of Me tonight, because Scripture says:
‘I will strike the Shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock
will be scattered.’
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Τότε λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πάντες ὑμεῖς σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ∙ γέγραπται γάρ, Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα, καὶ διασκορπισθήσεται τὰ πρόβατα τῆς ποίμνης.

Peter answered Him, “Even if everyone else stumbles because of You, I never will!”
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

Peter said, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You!”
And all the other disciples said the same thing.
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed:

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Καὶ προσελθὼν μικρόν, ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν, παρελθέτω ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο∙ πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω, ἀλλ’ ὡς σύ.

He returned to the disciples and found them sleeping.
He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you stay awake with Me for even one hour?
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ, Οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ;

Jesus went away a second time and prayed:
“My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink it, let Your will be done.”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο, λέγων, Πάτερ μου, εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον παρελθεῖν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου.

Then He returned to His disciples and said, “Sleep on now and rest. Look—the hour has come. The Son of Man is being handed over into the hands of sinners.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Τότε ἔρχεται πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε. Ἰδού, ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν.

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A large crowd carrying swords and clubs came with him, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
¶ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἰδού, Ἰούδας, εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ἦλθεν καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ.

Judas had arranged a signal with them.
“The One I kiss is the Man,” he had told them. “Seize Him.”
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
Ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον, λέγων, Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω, αὐτός ἐστιν∙ κρατήσατε αὐτόν.

Judas immediately went to Jesus.
“Greetings, Rabbi!” he said.
Then he kissed Him.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
Καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, Χαῖρε, ῥαββί∙ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.

Jesus said to him, “Friend, what are you here for?”
Then the men came forward, laid their hands on Jesus, and arrested Him.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἑταῖρε, ἐφ’ ᾧ πάρει; Τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.

Suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus reached for his sword, pulled it out, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
Καὶ ἰδού, εἷς τῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ, ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον.

Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place. Everyone who takes up the sword will die by the sword.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀπόστρεψόν σου τὴν μάχαιραν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς∙ πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι ἄρτι παρακαλέσαι τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι πλείους ἢ δώδεκα λεγεῶνας ἀγγέλων;
Ē dokeis hoti ou dynamai arti parakalesai ton patera mou, kai parastēsei moi pleious ē dōdeka legeōnas angelōn?
But if I did that, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say these things must happen?”
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι;
Pōs oun plērōthōsin hai graphai, hoti houtōs dei genesthai?
At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as though I were a bandit? Every day I sat among you teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest Me.
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὄχλοις, Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθετε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με; Καθ’ ἡμέραν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με.
En ekeinē tē hōra eipen ho Iēsous tois ochlois, Hōs epi lēstēn exēlthete meta machairōn kai xylōn syllabein me? Kath’ hēmeran pros hymas ekathezomēn didaskōn en tō hierō, kai ouk ekratēsate me.
But all of this has happened so that the writings of the prophets will be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples abandoned Him and ran away.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἔφυγον.
Touto de holon gegonen, hina plērōthōsin hai graphai tōn prophētōn. Tote hoi mathētai pantes aphentes auton ephygon.
Those who arrested Jesus took Him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
¶ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.
Hoi de kratēsantes ton Iēsoun apēgagon pros Kaiaphan ton archierea, hopou hoi grammateis kai hoi presbyteroi synēchthēsan.
Peter followed Him from a distance, all the way to the courtyard of the high priest. He went inside and sat with the attendants to see how everything would end.
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως∙ καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν, ἰδεῖν τὸ τέλος.
Ho de Petros ēkolouthei autō apo makrothen, heōs tēs aulēs tou archiereōs; kai eiselthōn esō ekathēto meta tōn hypēretōn, idein to telos.
The chief priests, the elders, and the entire council kept searching for false testimony against Jesus so they could put Him to death.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζήτουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως θανατώσωσιν αὐτόν,
Hoi de archiereis kai hoi presbyteroi kai to synedrion holon ezētoun pseudomartyrian kata tou Iēsou, hopōs thanatōsōsin auton,
But they could not find any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they still found nothing they could use.
Finally, two false witnesses came forward
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. Καὶ πολλῶν ψευδομαρτύρων προσελθόντων, οὐχ εὗρον.
kai ouch heuron. Kai pollōn pseudomartyrōn proselthontōn, ouch heuron.
and said, “This Man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο ψευδομάρτυρες εἶπον, Οὗτος ἔφη, Δύναμαι καταλῦσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτόν.
Hysteron de proselthontes dyo pseudomartyres eipon, Houtos ephē, Dynamai katalysai ton naon tou theou, kai dia triōn hēmerōn oikodomēsai auton.
The high priest stood up and demanded, “Aren’t You going to answer? What do You have to say about what these men are testifying against You?”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Οὐδὲν ἀποκρίνῃ; Τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;
Kai anastas ho archiereus eipen autō, Ouden apokrinē? Ti houtoi sou katamartyrousin?
But Jesus remained silent.
Then the high priest said to Him, “I put You under oath before the living God: tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος, ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπῃς εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
Ho de Iēsous esiōpa. Kai apokritheis ho archiereus eipen autō, Exorkizō se kata tou theou tou zōntos, hina hēmin eipēs ei sy ei ho christos, ho huios tou theou.
Jesus answered him, “You have said it. But I tell all of you: from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Σὺ εἶπας. Πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπ’ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
Legei autō ho Iēsous, Sy eipas. Plēn legō hymin, ap’ arti opsesthe ton huion tou anthrōpou kathēmenon ek dexiōn tēs dynameōs kai erchomenon epi tōn nephelōn tou ouranou.
Then the high priest tore his robes and shouted, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look—you have heard His blasphemy yourselves!
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Τότε ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, λέγων ὅτι Ἐβλασφήμησεν∙ τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων; Ἴδε, νῦν ἠκούσατε τὴν βλασφημίαν αὐτοῦ.
Tote ho archiereus dierrēxen ta himatia autou, legōn hoti Eblasphēmēsen; ti eti chreian echomen martyrōn? Ide, nyn ēkousate tēn blasphēmian autou.
What is your judgment?”
They answered, “He deserves death.”
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
Τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; Οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον, Ἔνοχος θανάτου ἐστίν.
Ti hymin dokei? Hoi de apokrithentes eipon, Enochos thanatou estin.
Then they spat in His face and struck Him with their fists. Others slapped Him
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν∙ οἱ δὲ ἐρράπισαν,
Tote eneptysan eis to prosōpon autou kai ekolaphisan auton; hoi de errapisan,
and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Tell us who hit You!”
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
λέγοντες, Προφήτευσον ἡμῖν, χριστέ. Τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε;
legontes, Prophēteuson hēmin, christe. Tis estin ho paisas se?
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard.
A servant girl came to him and said, “You were also with Jesus the Galilean.”
¶ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἔξω ἐκάθητο ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ∙ καὶ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ μία παιδίσκη, λέγουσα, Καὶ σὺ ἦσθα μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Γαλιλαίου.
Ho de Petros exō ekathēto en tē aulē; kai prosēlthen autō mia paidiskē, legousa, Kai sy ēstha meta Iēsou tou Galilaiou.
But Peter denied it in front of everyone.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
Ὁ δὲ ἠρνήσατο ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πάντων, λέγων, Οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις.
Ho de ērnēsato emprosthen autōn pantōn, legōn, Ouk oida ti legeis.
Then he went out toward the gateway. Another servant girl saw him and told the people there, “This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene.”
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Ἐξελθόντα δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἄλλη, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖ, Καὶ οὗτος ἦν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου.
Exelthonta de auton eis ton pylōna, eiden auton allē, kai legei autois ekei, Kai houtos ēn meta Iēsou tou Nazōraiou.
Peter denied it again, this time with an oath:
“I do not know the Man!”
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Καὶ πάλιν ἠρνήσατο μεθ’ ὅρκου ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
Kai palin ērnēsato meth’ horkou hoti Ouk oida ton anthrōpon.
A little while later, some of those standing nearby came up to Peter.
“You really are one of them,” they said. “The way you speak gives you away.”
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
Μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ προσελθόντες οἱ ἑστῶτες εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ, Ἀληθῶς καὶ σὺ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶ∙ καὶ γὰρ ἡ λαλιά σου δῆλόν σε ποιεῖ.
Meta mikron de proselthontes hoi hestōtes eipon tō Petrō, Alēthōs kai sy ex autōn ei; kai gar hē lalia sou dēlon se poiei.
Then Peter began calling down curses and swearing:
“I do not know the Man!”
Immediately, a rooster crowed.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Τότε ἤρξατο καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον. Καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
Tote ērxato katathematizein kai omnyein hoti Ouk oida ton anthrōpon. Kai eutheōs alektōr ephōnēsen.
Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him:
“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος αὐτῷ ὅτι Πρὶν ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω ἔκλαυσεν πικρῶς.
Kai emnēsthē ho Petros tou rhēmatos tou Iēsou eirēkotos autō hoti Prin alektora phōnēsai, tris aparnēsē me. Kai exelthōn exō eklausen pikrōs.
