14And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
15And he said to them: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
16For I say to you, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18For I say to you, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
19And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”
20Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, saying: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
21But in truth, behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
22And indeed, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. And yet, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”
23And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
24Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
25And he said to them: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
26But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.
27For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.
28But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
29And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
32But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
33And he said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
34And he said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,
35“When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
36And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
37For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”
38So they said, “Lord, behold, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
39And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
40And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
41And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
42saying: “Father, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Yet truly, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
43Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
44and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
45And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
46And he said to them: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
47While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.
48And Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
49Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?
53When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”
54And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Yet truly, Peter followed at a distance.
55Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
56And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”
57But he denied him by saying, “Woman, I do not know him.”
58And after a little while, another one, seeing him, said, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
59And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, saying: “Truly, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”
60And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
61And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
62And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
63And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
64And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, saying: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
65And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
66And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.”
67And he said to them: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
68And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
69But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
70Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?” And he said. “You are saying that I am.”
71And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”
23:1And the entire multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
2Then they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this one subverting our nation, and prohibiting giving tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.”
3And Pilate questioned him, saying: “You are the king of the Jews?” But in response, he said: “You are saying it.”
4Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the crowds, “I find no case against this man.”
5But they continued more intensely, saying: “He has stirred up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.”
6But Pilate, upon hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee.
7And when he realized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem in those days.
8Then Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was very glad. For he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard so many things about him, and he was hoping to see some kind of sign wrought by him.
9Then he questioned him with many words. But he gave him no response at all.
10And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
11Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.
12And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.
13And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14said to them: “You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.
15And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
- Some verses are not read.
18But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: “Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!”
19Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
20Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus.
21But they shouted in response, saying: “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22Then he said to them a third time: “Why? What evil has he done? I find no case against him for death. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him.”
23But they persisted, with loud voices, in demanding that he be crucified. And their voices increased in intensity.
24And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.
25Then he released for them the one who had been cast into prison for murder and sedition, whom they were requesting. Yet truly, Jesus he handed over to their will.
26And as they were leading him away, they apprehended a certain one, Simon of Cyrene, as he was returning from the countryside. And they imposed the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
27Then a great crowd of people followed him, with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
28But Jesus, turning to them, said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me. Instead, weep over yourselves and over your children.
29For behold, the days will arrive in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed.’
30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall over us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
31For if they do these things with green wood, what will be done with the dry?”
32Now they also led out two other criminals with him, in order to execute them.
33And when they arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to the left.
34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, they cast lots.
35And people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.”
36And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him and offering him vinegar,
37and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: This is the king of the Jews.
39And one of those robbers who were hanging blasphemed him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.”
40But the other responded by rebuking him, saying: “Do you have no fear of God, since you are under the same condemnation?
41And indeed, it is just for us. For we are receiving what our deeds deserve. But truly, this one has done nothing wrong.”
42And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
44Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
45And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
46And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.
47Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”
48And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.
49Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.
50And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,
51(for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.
52This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.
53And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.
54And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.
56And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
