1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)
Matthew 26
1 The rulers conspire against Christ. 6 The woman anointeth his head. 14 Judas selleth him. 17 Christ eateth the Passover: 26 instituteth his holy supper: 36 prayeth in the garden: 47 and being betrayed with a kiss, 57 is carried to Caiaphas, 69 and denied of Peter.

26:1 ¶
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:

26:2
Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place,and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.

26:3
Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;

26:4
and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.

26:5
They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.

26:6 ¶
But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

26:7
there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.

26:8
And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, sayingTo what end, this loss?

26:9
For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.

26:10
But Jesus, taking note, said unto themWhy vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;

26:11
For, always, the destitute, have ye with you,but, me, not always, have ye;

26:12
For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.

26:13
Verily, I say unto youWheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.

26:14 ¶
Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,

26:15
and saidWhat are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

26:16
And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.

26:17 ¶
And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, sayingWhere wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

26:18
And, he, saidGo your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.

26:19
And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.

26:20
And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];

26:21
and, as they were eating, he saidVerily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.

26:22
And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each oneCan it be, I, Lord?

26:23
And, he, answering, saidHe who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.

26:24
The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him,But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!

26:25
And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, saidCan it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto himThou, hast said.

26:26 ¶
And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake,and, giving to his disciples, saidTake, eat! This, is, my body.

26:27
And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, sayingDrink of it, all of you;

26:28
For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.

26:29
Moreover, I say unto youIn nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.

26:30
And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.

26:31 ¶
Then, Jesus saith unto themAll ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;

26:32
But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.

26:33
Now Peter, answering, said unto himThough, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.

26:34
Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto theeDuring this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.

26:35
Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.

26:36 ¶
Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane,and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

26:37
And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.

26:38
Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.

26:39
And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and sayingMy Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me,Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.

26:40
And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto PeterThus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?

26:41
Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.

26:42
Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.

26:43
And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

26:44
And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.

26:45
Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them,Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.

26:46
Arise! let us be going,Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.

26:47 ¶
And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.

26:48
And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, sayingWhomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is,secure him.

26:49
And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he saidJoy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.

26:50
But, Jesus, said unto himFriend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.

26:51
And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.

26:52
Then, Jesus saith unto himPut back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.

26:53
Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?

26:54
How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?

26:55
In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;

26:56
But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.

26:57 ¶
And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.

26:58
Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest,and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.

26:59
Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;

26:60
and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,

26:61
and said: This, man saidI am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.

26:62
And the High-priest, arising, said unto himNothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?

26:63
But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou sayWhether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.

26:64
Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto youHereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

26:65
Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, sayingHe hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!

26:66
How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.

26:67
Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,

26:68
sayingProphesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?

26:69 ¶
Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, sayingThou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.

26:70
But, he, denied before all, sayingI know not what thou sayest.

26:71
And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were thereThis, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.

26:72
And, again, he denied, with an oathI know not the man.

26:73
And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.

26:74
Then, began he to be cursing and swearingI know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.

26:75
And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having saidBefore a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
