Matthew 26

The Plot To Kill Jesus

(Mark 14.1,2; Luke 22.1,2; John 11.45-53)

1When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples, 2#Ex 12.1-27. “You know two days from now will be Passover. This is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross.”

3At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. 4They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. 5But they said, “We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot.”

At Bethany

(Mark 14.3-9; John 12.1-8)

6Jesus was in the town of Bethany, eating at the home of Simon, who had leprosy.#26.6 leprosy: See the note at 8.2. 7#Lk 7.37,38. A woman came in with a bottle of expensive perfume and poured it on Jesus' head. 8But when his disciples saw this, they became angry and complained, “Why such a waste? 9We could have sold this perfume for a lot of money and given it to the poor.”

10Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said:

Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me. 11#Dt 15.11. You will always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me. 12She has poured perfume on my body to prepare it for burial.#26.12 poured perfume on my body to prepare it for burial: The Jewish people taught that giving someone a proper burial was even more important than helping the poor. 13You may be sure that wherever the good news is told all over the world, people will remember what she has done. And they will tell others.

Judas and the Chief Priests

(Mark 14.10,11; Luke 22.3-6)

14Judas Iscariot#26.14 Iscariot: See the note at 10.4. was one of the twelve disciples. He went to the chief priests 15#Zec 11.12. and asked, “How much will you give me if I help you arrest Jesus?” They paid Judas 30 silver coins, 16and from then on he started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus.

Jesus Eats the Passover Meal with His Disciples

(Mark 14.12-21; Luke 22.7-13; John 13.21-30)

17On the first day of the Festival of Thin Bread, Jesus' disciples came to him and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal?”

18Jesus told them to go to a certain man in the city and tell him, “Our teacher says, ‘My time has come! I want to eat the Passover meal with my disciples in your home.’ ” 19They did as Jesus told them and prepared the meal.

20-21When Jesus was eating with his twelve disciples that evening, he said, “One of you will surely hand me over to my enemies.”

22The disciples were very sad, and each one said to Jesus, “Lord, you can't mean me!”

23 # Ps 41.9. He answered, “One of you men who has eaten with me from this dish will betray me. 24The Son of Man will die, as the Scriptures say. But it's going to be terrible for the one who betrays me! That man would be better off if he had never been born.”

25Judas said, “Teacher, you surely don't mean me!”

“That's what you say!” Jesus replied. But later, Judas did betray him.

The Lord's Supper

(Mark 14.22-26; Luke 22.14-23; 1 Corinthians 11.23-25)

26During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this and eat it. This is my body.”

27Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this and drink it. 28#Ex 24.8; Jr 31.31-34. This is my blood, and with it God makes his agreement with you. It will be poured out, so that many people will have their sins forgiven. 29From now on I am not going to drink any wine, until I drink new wine with you in my Father's kingdom.” 30Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

Peter's Promise

(Mark 14.27-31; Luke 22.31-34; John 13.36-38)

31 # Zec 13.7. Jesus said to his disciples, “During this very night, all of you will reject me, as the Scriptures say,

‘I will strike down

the shepherd,

and the sheep

will be scattered.’

32 # Mt 28.16. But after I am raised to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

33Peter spoke up, “Even if all the others reject you, I never will!”

34Jesus replied, “I promise you before a rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you don't know me.” 35But Peter said, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never say I don't know you.”

All the others said the same thing.

Jesus Prays

(Mark 14.32-42; Luke 22.39-46)

36Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. When they got there, he told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Jesus took along Peter and the two brothers, James and John.#26.37 the two brothers, James and John: The Greek text has “the two sons of Zebedee” (see 27.56). He was very sad and troubled, 38and he said to them, “I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me.”

39Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don't make me suffer by drinking from this cup.#26.39 by drinking from this cup: In the Scriptures “to drink from a cup” sometimes means to suffer (see the note at 20.22). But do what you want, and not what I want.”

40He came back and found his disciples sleeping. So he said to Peter, “Can't any of you stay awake with me for just one hour? 41Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”

42Again Jesus went to pray and said, “My Father, if there is no other way, and I must suffer, I will still do what you want.”

43Jesus came back and found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open. 44He left them and prayed the same prayer once more.

45Finally, Jesus returned to his disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting?#26.45 Are you still sleeping and resting: Or “You may as well keep on sleeping and resting.” The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. 46Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here.”

Jesus Is Arrested

(Mark 14.43-50; Luke 22.47-53; John 18.3-12)

47Jesus was still speaking, when Judas the betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a large mob armed with swords and clubs was with him. They had been sent by the chief priests and the nation's leaders. 48Judas had told them ahead of time, “Arrest the man I greet with a kiss.”#26.48 the man I greet with a kiss: It was the custom for people to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek.

49Judas walked right up to Jesus and said, “Hello, teacher.” Then Judas kissed him.

50Jesus replied, “My friend, do what you came for.”#26.50 do what you came for: Or “why are you here?”

The men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 51One of Jesus' followers pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

52But Jesus told him, “Put your sword away. Anyone who lives by fighting will die by fighting. 53Don't you know that I could ask my Father, and he would at once send me more than twelve armies of angels? 54But then, how could the words of the Scriptures come true, which say this must happen?”

55 # Lk 19.47; 21.37. Jesus said to the mob, “Why do you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like a criminal? Day after day I sat and taught in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. 56But all this happened, so that what the prophets wrote would come true.”

All Jesus' disciples left him and ran away.

Jesus Is Questioned by the Council

(Mark 14.53-65; Luke 22.54,55,63-71; John 18.13,14,19-24)

57After Jesus had been arrested, he was led off to the house of Caiaphas the high priest. The nation's leaders and the teachers of the Law of Moses were meeting there. 58But Peter followed along at a distance and came to the courtyard of the high priest's palace. He went in and sat down with the guards to see what was going to happen.

59The chief priests and the whole council wanted to put Jesus to death. So they tried to find some people who would tell lies about him in court.#26.59 some people who would tell lies about him in court: The Law of Moses taught that two witnesses were necessary before a person could be put to death (see verse 60). 60But they could not find any, even though many did come and tell lies. At last, two men came forward 61#Jn 2.19. and said, “This man claimed he could tear down God's temple and build it again in three days.”

62The high priest stood up and asked Jesus, “Why don't you say something in your own defense? Don't you hear the charges they are making against you?” 63But Jesus did not answer. So the high priest said, “With the living God looking on, you must tell the truth. Are you the Messiah, the Son of God?”#26.63 Son of God: One of the titles used for the kings of Israel.

64 # Dn 7.13. “That is what you say!” Jesus answered. “But I tell all of you,

‘Soon you will see

the Son of Man

sitting at the right side#26.64 right side: See the note at 22.44.

of God All-Powerful

and coming on the clouds

of heaven.’ ”

65 # Lv 24.15,16. The high priest then tore his robe and said, “This man claims to be God! We don't need any more witnesses! You have heard what he said. 66What do you think?”

They answered, “He is guilty and deserves to die!” 67#Is 50.6. Then they spit in his face and hit him with their fists. Others slapped him 68and said, “You think you are the Messiah! So tell us who hit you!”

Peter Says He Doesn't Know Jesus

(Mark 14.66-72; Luke 22.56-62; John 18.15-18,25-27)

69While Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, a servant girl came up to him and said, “You were with Jesus from Galilee.”

70But in front of everyone Peter said, “That isn't so! I don't know what you are talking about!”

71When Peter had gone out to the gate, another servant girl saw him and said to some people there, “This man was with Jesus from Nazareth.”

72Again Peter denied it, and this time he swore, “I don't even know that man!”

73A little while later some people standing there walked over to Peter and said, “We know you are one of them. We can tell it because you talk like someone from Galilee.”

74Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't know that man!”

Right then a rooster crowed, 75and Peter remembered that Jesus had said, “Before a rooster crows, you will say three times you don't know me.” Then Peter went out and cried bitterly.

Mateo 26

Ang Balak Laban kay Jesus

(Mc. 14:1-2; Lu. 22:1-2; Jn. 11:45-53)

1Matapos ituro ni Jesus ang lahat ng ito, sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, 2“Gaya#Exo. 12:1-27. ng alam ninyo, dalawang araw na lamang at Paskwa na. Ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo upang ipako sa krus.”

3Ang mga punong pari at ang mga pinuno ng bayan#26:3 pinuno ng bayan: Sa Griego ay matatanda. ay nagkakatipon noon sa palasyo ng pinakapunong pari na si Caifas. 4Binalak nilang ipadakip si Jesus nang lihim at ipapatay. 5Ngunit sinabi nila, “Huwag sa kapistahan, baka magkagulo ang mga tao.”

Binuhusan ng Pabango si Jesus

(Mc. 14:3-9; Jn. 12:1-8)

6Noong nasa Bethania si Jesus, sa bahay ni Simon na ketongin, 7lumapit#Lu. 7:37-38. sa kanya ang isang babaing may dalang sisidlang alabastro na puno ng napakamahal na pabango. Ibinuhos ito sa ulo ni Jesus habang siya'y nakaupo sa may hapag. 8Nagalit ang mga alagad nang makita ito. “Bakit inaksaya ang pabango?” tanong nila. 9“Naipagbili sana iyon sa malaking halaga at naibigay sa mga mahihirap ang pinagbilhan!”

10Alam ni Jesus ang iniisip nila kaya't sinabi niya, “Bakit ninyo ginugulo ang babaing ito? Mabuting bagay ang ginawa niya sa akin. 11Sapagkat#Deut. 15:11. palagi ninyong makakasama ang mga dukha, ngunit ako'y hindi ninyo makakasama palagi. 12Binuhusan niya ako ng pabango bilang paghahanda sa paglilibing sa akin. 13Tandaan ninyo, saan man ipangaral ang Magandang Balita sa buong mundo, babanggitin ang ginawa niyang ito bilang pag-alaala sa kanya.”

Nakipagkasundo si Judas na Ipagkanulo si Jesus

(Mc. 14:10-11; Lu. 22:3-6)

14Si Judas Iscariote, isa sa Labindalawa, ay nakipagkita sa mga punong pari. 15“Ano#Zac. 11:12. po ang ibibigay ninyo sa akin kung tulungan ko kayong madakip si Jesus?” tanong niya. Noon di'y binayaran nila si Judas ng tatlumpung pirasong pilak. 16Mula noon, humanap na si Judas ng pagkakataon upang maipagkanulo si Jesus.

Paghahanda sa Pista ng Paskwa

(Mc. 14:12-16; Lu. 22:7-13, 21-23; Jn. 13:21-30)

17Dumating ang unang araw ng Pista ng Tinapay na Walang Pampaalsa. Lumapit kay Jesus ang mga alagad at nagtanong, “Saan po ninyo nais na maghanda kami ng hapunang pampaskwa?”

18Sumagot siya, “Puntahan ninyo sa lungsod ang isang tao at sabihin ninyo sa kanya, ‘Ipinapasabi po ng Guro na sumapit na ang kanyang oras. Siya at ang mga alagad niya'y sa bahay ninyo kakain ng hapunang pampaskwa.’”

19Sinunod ng mga alagad ang utos ni Jesus, at doo'y inihanda nga nila ang hapunang pampaskwa.

20Nang gabing iyon, dumulog sa hapag si Jesus, kasama ang Labindalawa.#26:20 Labindalawa: Sa ibang manuskrito'y labindalawang alagad. 21Sinabi ni Jesus habang sila'y kumakain, “Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, ako'y ipagkakanulo ng isa sa inyo!”

22Nanlumo ang mga alagad, at isa-isang nagtanong sa kanya, “Hindi ako iyon, di po ba, Panginoon?”

23Sumagot#Awit 41:9. si Jesus, “Ang kasabay kong nagsawsaw sa mangkok ang siyang magkakanulo sa akin. 24Papanaw ang Anak ng Tao ayon sa nasusulat tungkol sa kanya subalit kahabag-habag ang taong magkakanulo sa kanya! Mabuti pa sa taong iyon ang hindi na siya ipinanganak!”

25Si Judas na magkakanulo sa kanya ay nagtanong din, “Guro, ako po ba?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Ikaw ang nagsabi niyan.”

Ang Banal na Hapunan

(Mc. 14:17-26; Lu. 22:14-20; Jn. 13:21-30; 1 Cor. 11:23-25)

26Habang sila'y kumakain, dumampot si Jesus ng tinapay, at matapos magpasalamat sa Diyos ay pinaghati-hati niya iyon, ibinigay sa mga alagad at sinabi, “Kunin ninyo ito at kainin. Ito ang aking katawan.”

27Pagkatapos, dumampot siya ng kopa, nagpasalamat sa Diyos at ibinigay iyon sa kanila. Sinabi niya, “Kayong lahat ay uminom nito 28sapagkat#Exo. 24:8; Jer. 31:31-34. ito ang aking dugo na katibayan ng tipan#26:28 tipan: Sa ibang manuskrito'y bagong tipan. ng Diyos. Ito ang aking dugong ibinubuhos para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan ng marami.

29Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi na ako iinom nitong katas ng ubas hanggang sa araw na inumin kong panibago na kasalo ninyo sa kaharian ng aking Ama.”

30At pagkaawit ng isang himno, sila'y nagpunta sa Bundok ng mga Olibo.

Paunang Sinabi ang Pagkakaila ni Pedro

(Mc. 14:27-31; Lu. 22:31-34; Jn. 13:36-38)

31Sinabi#Zac. 13:7. ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sa gabing ito, ako'y iiwan ninyong lahat, gaya ng sinasabi sa Kasulatan, ‘Papatayin ko ang pastol at magkakawatak-watak ang mga tupa.’ 32Ngunit#Mt. 28:16. pagkatapos na ako'y muling mabuhay, mauuna ako sa inyo sa Galilea.”

33Sumagot si Pedro, “Kahit na po kayo iwan ng lahat, hindi ko kayo iiwan.”

34Sumagot si Jesus, “Tandaan mo, sa gabi ring ito, bago tumilaok ang manok, tatlong beses mo akong ikakaila.” 35Ngunit sinabi ni Pedro, “Kahit na ako'y patayin kasama ninyo, hindi ko kayo ikakaila.” Ganoon din ang sinabi ng lahat ng alagad.

Nanalangin si Jesus sa Getsemani

(Mc. 14:32-42; Lu. 22:39-46)

36Isinama ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad sa isang lugar na tinatawag na Getsemani. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Dito muna kayo't mananalangin ako sa dako roon.” 37Ngunit isinama niya sina Pedro at ang dalawang anak ni Zebedeo. Nagsimulang mabagabag at maghirap ang kanyang kalooban, 38kaya't sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ako'y halos mamatay sa tindi ng kalungkutan. Maghintay kayo rito at samahan ninyo ako sa pagpupuyat!”

39Lumayo siya nang kaunti, nagpatirapa siya at nanalangin, “Ama ko, kung maaari po, ilayo ninyo sa akin ang kopang ito ng paghihirap. Ngunit hindi po ang kalooban ko, kundi ang kalooban ninyo ang mangyari.”

40Nagbalik siya at dinatnan niyang natutulog ang tatlong alagad. Sinabi niya kay Pedro, “Talaga bang hindi kayo makapagpuyat na kasama ko kahit isang oras man lamang? 41Magbantay kayo at manalangin upang huwag kayong madaig ng tukso. Ang espiritu'y nakahanda ngunit ang laman ay mahina.”

42Muli siyang lumayo at nanalangin, “Ama ko, kung hindi po maaaring maialis ang kopang ito malibang inumin ko, mangyari nawa ang inyong kalooban.” 43Muli siyang nagbalik at nakita na naman niyang natutulog sila, sapagkat sila'y antok na antok.

44Iniwan niyang muli ang tatlong alagad at siya'y nanalangin, at iyon din ang kanyang sinabi. 45Nagbalik na naman siya sa mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Natutulog pa ba kayo at nagpapahinga? Dumating na ang oras na ang Anak ng Tao ay ipagkakanulo sa mga makasalanan. 46Bangon! Halina kayo, narito na ang nagkakanulo sa akin.”

Ang Pagdakip kay Jesus

(Mc. 14:43-50; Lu. 22:47-53; Jn. 18:3-12)

47Nagsasalita pa si Jesus nang dumating si Judas, na kabilang sa Labindalawa. May kasama siyang maraming tao na may dalang mga tabak at pamalo; isinugo sila ng mga punong pari at mga pinuno ng bayan. 48Bago pa sila dumating doon, sinabi na ng taksil sa kanyang mga kasama, “Kung sinong hahalikan ko, siya ang dakpin ninyo.”

49Nilapitan niya agad si Jesus at binati, “Magandang gabi po, Guro,” saka hinalikan.

50Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kaibigan, gawin mo na ang sadya mo.”#26:50 Kaibigan…sadya mo: o kaya'y Kaibigan, ano ang sadya mo? At siya'y nilapitan nila at dinakip.

51Bumunot ng tabak ang isa sa mga kasama ni Jesus at tinaga ang utusan ng pinakapunong pari, at natagpas ang tainga niyon.

52Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Ibalik mo ang iyong tabak sa lalagyan! Ang nabubuhay sa tabak ay sa tabak mamamatay. 53Hindi mo ba alam na kung hihingi ako ng tulong sa aking Ama ay papadalhan agad niya ako ng higit sa labindalawang batalyon ng mga anghel? 54Ngunit paano matutupad ang mga Kasulatan na nagsasabing ito'y dapat mangyari?”

55Pagkatapos#Lu. 19:47; 21:37. sinabi niya sa mga tao, “Ako ba'y tulisan at naparito kayong may mga tabak at pamalo upang ako'y dakpin? Araw-araw, nakaupo akong nagtuturo sa Templo, ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinakip.

56Ngunit nangyari ang lahat ng ito upang matupad ang sinulat ng mga propeta.”

Tumakas ang mga alagad at iniwan siyang mag-isa.

Si Jesus sa Harap ng Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio

(Mc. 14:53-65; Lu. 22:54-55, 63-71; Jn. 18:13-14, 19-24)

57Dinala si Jesus ng mga dumakip sa kanya sa bahay ni Caifas, ang pinakapunong pari; doon nagkakatipon ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ang mga pinuno ng bayan. 58Sumunod si Pedro, ngunit hindi gaanong lumalapit. Pagdating sa tahanan ng pinakapunong pari, pumasok siya sa bakuran at naupo sa patyo kasama ng mga bantay. Nais niyang makita kung ano ang mangyayari.

59Samantala, ang mga punong pari at ang buong Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio ay naghahanap ng maling paratang laban kay Jesus upang siya'y maipapatay, 60ngunit wala silang nakita kahit na maraming humarap na sinungaling na saksi laban sa kanya. Sa wakas, may dalawang humarap 61at#Jn. 2:19. nagsabi, “Sinabi ng taong ito na kaya daw niyang gibain ang Templo ng Diyos at muli itong itayo sa loob ng tatlong araw.”

62Tumayo ang pinakapunong pari at sinabi kay Jesus, “Wala ka bang isasagot sa paratang na ito laban sa iyo?” 63Ngunit hindi umimik si Jesus. Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ng pinakapunong pari, “Iniuutos ko sa iyo sa ngalan ng Diyos na buháy, sabihin mo sa amin kung ikaw nga ang Cristo, ang Anak ng Diyos.”

64Sumagot#Dan. 7:13. si Jesus, “Kayo na ang nagsabi. At sinasabi ko sa inyo, di na magtatagal at makikita ninyo ang Anak ng Tao na nakaupo sa kanan ng makapangyarihang Diyos at dumarating na nasa alapaap!”

65Pagkarinig#Lev. 24:16. nito, pinunit ng pinakapunong pari ang kanyang damit at sinabi, “Nilapastangan niya ang Diyos! Hindi na natin kailangan ng mga saksi. Narinig ninyo ngayon ang kanyang paglapastangan! 66Ano ang pasya ninyo?” Sumagot sila, “Dapat siyang mamatay!”

67Dinuraan#Isa. 50:6. nila si Jesus sa mukha at pinagsusuntok. Pinagsasampal naman siya ng iba, 68at kinutya, “Hoy, Cristo, hulaan mo nga kung sino ang sumampal sa iyo!”

Ikinaila ni Pedro si Jesus

(Mc. 14:66-72; Lu. 22:56-62; Jn. 18:15-18, 25-27)

69Samantala, si Pedro ay nakaupo noon sa patyo. Nilapitan siya ng isang utusang babae at sinabi sa kanya, “Kasamahan ka rin ni Jesus na taga-Galilea, hindi ba?”

70Ngunit nagkaila si Pedro sa harap ng lahat. “Wala akong nalalaman sa sinasabi mo,” sagot niya.

71Pumunta siya sa may pintuan at nakita siya ng isa pang utusang babae. Sinabi nito sa mga naroon, “Ang taong ito'y kasamahan ni Jesus na taga-Nazaret.”

72Muling nagkaila si Pedro, “Isinusumpa ko, hindi ko kakilala ang taong iyon!”

73Makalipas ang ilang sandali, lumapit kay Pedro ang mga naroon. Sabi nila, “Isa ka nga sa mga tauhan niya. Nahahalata ka sa punto ng iyong pagsasalita.”

74Sumagot si Pedro, “Parusahan nawa ako ng Diyos kung nagsisinungaling ako! Hindi ko kilala ang taong iyan.” Pagkasabing-pagkasabi nito, tumilaok ang manok. 75Naalala ni Pedro ang sinabi ni Jesus, “Bago tumilaok ang manok, tatlong beses mo akong ikakaila.” Lumabas siya at tumangis nang buong kapaitan.
