1 و َقَبلَ يَومِينِ مِنْ عِيدِ الفِصْحِ وَعِيدِ الخُبزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ، كانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ سِرِّيَّةٍ لِيُمسِكُوا بِيَسُوعَ وَيَقتُلُوهُ.

Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:

2 ل ِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «لا يَنْبَغِي أنْ نَفعَلَ هَذا خِلالَ العِيدِ، لِنَتَجَنَّبَ شَغَبَ النّاسِ.» امْرأةٌ تَسكُبُ العِطرَ عَلَى يَسُوع

for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

3 و َبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَلدَةِ بَيتِ عَنْيا، يَجلِسُ فِي بَيتِ سِمْعانِ الأبرَصِ، جاءَتِ امْرأةٌ وَمَعَها زُجاجَةُ عِطْرٍ غالِي الثَّمَنِ، مَصنُوعٍ مِنَ النّاردِينِ الخالِصِ. فَكَسَرَتِ المَرأةُ زُجاجَةَ العِطْرِ، وَسَكَبَتهُ عَلَى رَأسِ يَسُوعَ.

And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; and she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.

4 ف َغَضِبَ بَعْضُ الجالِسِينَ هُناكَ وَابتَدَأوا يَقولونَ فِي ما بَينَهُمْ: «لِماذا أُهدِرَ هَذا العِطْرُ؟

But there were some that had indignation among themselves, saying, To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?

5 ف َقَدْ كانَ مُمْكِناً أنْ يُباعَ بِمَبلَغٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ المالِ يُعْطَى لِلفُقَراءِ.» وَأخَذُوا يُوَبِّخُونَ المَرأةَ.

For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

6 أ مّا يَسُوعَ فَقالَ: «دَعُوها وَشَأنَها. لِماذا تُزعِجُونَها؟ لَقَدْ فَعَلَتْ شَيئاً حَسَناً لِيْ.

But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

7 ا لفُقَراءُ سَيَكُونُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ دائِماً، وَتَستَطِيعُونَ أنْ تُساعِدُوهُمْ فِي أيِّ وَقْتٍ تُرِيدُونَ، وَلَكِنِّي لَنْ أكُونَ مَعَكُمْ دائِماً.

For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.

8 ه ِيَ فَعَلَتْ كُلَّ ما تَستَطِيعُ، لَقَدْ سَكَبَتِ العِطْرَ عَلَى جَسَدِي لِتُعِدَّهُ مُسبَقاً لِلدَفْنِ.

She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

9 ا لحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكُمْ: حَيثُما تُعلَنُ هَذِهِ البِشارَةُ فِي العالَمِ، سَيُحَدَّثُ أيضاً بِما فَعَلَتْهُ هَذِهِ المَرْأةُ، لِيَتَذَكَّرَها الجَمِيعُ.» يَهُوذا يُعِدُّ لِخِيانَةِ يَسُوع

And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

10 ب َعْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطِيُّ، أحَدُ الاثْنَي عَشَرَ، إلَى قادَةِ الكَهَنَةِ لِيَرَىْ كَيفَ سَيُسَلِّمَ إلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعَ.

And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.

11 ف َفَرِحُوا جِدّاً لِسَماعِ هَذا وَوَعَدُوهُ بِمُكافَأةٍ نَقْديَةٍ. وَهَكَذا بَدَأ يَهُوذا يَبحَثُ عَنْ فُرصَةٍ لِخِيانَةِ يَسُوعَ. عَشاءُ الفِصْح

And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him unto them.

12 و َفِي أوَّلِ يَومٍ مِنْ عِيدِ الخُبزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ، وَهوَ اليَومُ الَّذي يُذبَحُ فيهِ حَمَلُ الفِصْحِ، قالَ لَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ: «أينَ تُرِيدُ أنْ نُعِدَّ لَكَ عَشاءَ الفِصْحِ؟»

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?

13 ف َأرسَلَ يَسُوعُ اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ وَقالَ لَهُما: «اذهَبا إلَى المَدِينَةِ حَيثُ سَتَلقَيانِ رَجُلاً يَحمِلُ إبرِيقَ ماءٍ، فَاتبَعاهُ.

And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;

14 و َحَيثُ يَدخُلُ ادخُلا، وَقُولا لِصاحِبِ البَيتِ: ‹يَقُولُ المُعَلِّمُ: أينَ هِيَ غُرفَةُ الضُّيُوفِ الَّتِي لِيْ، حَيثُ سَأتَناوَلُ عَشاءَ الفِصحِ مَعَ تَلامِيذِي؟›

and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

15 ف َسَيُرِيكُما ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ غُرفَةً عُلوِيَّةً واسِعَةً مَفرُوشَةً وَمُعَدَّةً، فَأعِدّا الفِصحَ لَنا هُناكَ.»

And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us.

16 ف َذَهَبَ التِّلْمِيذانِ إلَى المَدِينَةِ، وَوَجَدا كُلَّ شَيءٍ كَما أخبَرَهُما يَسُوعُ، فَأعَدّا عَشاءَ الفِصحِ.

And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

17 و َعِندَما جاءَ المَساءُ، جاءَ يَسُوعُ مَعَ الاثنَي عَشْرَ.

And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve.

18 و َبَينَما هُمْ جالِسُونَ عَلَى المائِدَةِ قالَ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ: سَيَخُونُنِي واحِدٌ مِنكُمْ، يَأكُلُ مَعِي الآنَ.»

And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me.

19 ف َابتَدَأوا يَحزَنُونَ، وَيَسَألُونَهُ واحِداً بَعدَ الآخَرِ: «أهُوَ أنا ياَ رَبُّ؟»

They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?

20 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «هُوَ واحِدٌ مِنَ الاثْنَي عَشَرَ، وَهُوَ يَغْمِسُ مَعِي فِي الطَّبَقِ!

And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.

21 إ نَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ ماضٍ وَفْقاً لِما هُوَ مَكتوبٌ عَنْهُ، لَكِنْ وَيلٌ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَخُونُ ابْنَ الإنسانِ. كانَ خَيراً لَهُ لَو أنَّهُ لَمْ يُولَدْ قَطُّ!» العَشاءُ الأخير

For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

22 و َبَينَما هُمْ يَأكُلُونَ أخَذَ خُبزاً وَبارَكَ اللهَ، وَقَسَّمَهُ وَأعطاهُمْ إيّاهُ وَقالَ: «خُذُوا، فَهَذا هُوَ جَسَدِي.»

And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.

23 ث ُمَّ أخَذَ كَأَسَ نَبيذٍ، وَشَكَرَ، وَأعطاها لِلتَّلامِيذِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْها جَمِيعاً.

And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.

24 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا هُوَ دَمِي، دَمُ العَهْدِ الَّذِي يُسفَكُ مِنْ أجلِ كَثِيرِينَ.

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 ا لحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكُمْ، لَنْ أشرَبَ هَذا النَّبيذَ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ اليَومِ الَّذي فِيهِ أشرَبُهُ جَدِيداً فِي مَلَكوتِ اللهِ.»

Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

26 ب َعْدَ ذَلِكَ، رَتَّلوا بَعضَ التَراتيلِ، وَخَرَجُوا إلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ. تَلامِيذُ يَسُوعَ سَيَترُكُونَهُ جَمِيعا

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

27 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُّكُمْ سَتَفقِدُونَ إيمانَكُمُ الليلَةَ لِأنَّهُ مَكتُوبٌ: ‹سَأضْرِبُ الرّاعِي، فَتَتَشَتَّتُ الخِرافُ.›

And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

28 و َلَكِنْ بَعْدَ أنْ أقُومَ مِنَ المَوتِ، فَإنِّي سَأسبِقُكُمْ إلَى الجَلِيلِ.»

Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

29 ف َقالَ لَهُ بُطرُسُ: «حَتَّى وَلَو فَقَدَ الجَمِيعُ إيمانَهُمْ، فَأنا لَنْ أفقِدَهُ.»

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

30 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «الحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكَ، فِي هَذِهِ اللَيلَةِ، وَقَبلَ أنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتِينِ، سَتُنكِرُنِي ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ.»

And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.

31 و َلَكِنَّ بُطرُسَ قالَ بِإصرارٍ: «حَتَّى لَو كانَ عَلَيَّ أنْ أمُوتَ مَعَكَ، فَإنِّي لَنْ أُنكِرَكَ!» وَقالَ الجَمِيعُ مِثلَ هَذا الكَلامِ. يَسُوعُ يُصَلِّي مُنفَرِدا

But he spake exceedingly vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.

32 ث ُمَّ جاءُوا إلَى مَكانٍ يُسَمَّى جِثْسَيمانِي، وَقالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «اجلِسُوا هُنا بَينَما أُصَلِّي.»

And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.

33 و َاصطَحَبَ بُطرُسَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا. وَبَدَأ يَشعُرُ بِضيقٍ شَديدٍ وَانْزِعاجٍ،

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

34 ث ُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ: «حُزنِي شَدِيدٌ جِدّاً حَتَّى إنَّهُ يَكادُ يَقتُلُنِي! ابقُوا هُنا وَاسْهَرُوا.»

And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.

35 و َابتَعَدَ يَسُوعُ عَنْهُمْ قَلِيلاً، وَجَثا عَلَى الأرْضِ وَصَلَّى أنْ تَتَجاوَزَهُ ساعَةُ الألَمِ هَذِهِ إنْ كانَ مُمكِناً.

And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

36 و َصَلَّى فَقالَ: «آبا، يا أبِي، كُلُّ شَيءٍ مُستَطاعٌ لَدَيكَ، فَأبعِدْ عَنِّي هَذِهِ الكَأسَ. وَلَكِنْ لِيَكُنْ ما تُرِيدُهُ أنتَ لا ما أُرِيدُهُ أنا.»

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.

37 و َجاءَ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ نائِمِينَ، فَقالَ لِبُطرُسَ: «يا سِمْعانُ، هَلْ أنتَ نائِمٌ؟ أهَكَذا لَمْ تَقدِرْ أنْ تَسهَرَ ساعَةً واحِدَةً؟

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?

38 ا سهَرُوا وَصَلُّوا لِكَي لا تُجَرَّبُوا. رُوحُكُمْ تَسعَى إلَى ذَلِكَ، أمّا جَسَدُكُمْ فَضَعِيفٌ.»

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39 و َابتَعَدَ ثانِيَةً لِيُصَلِّيَ الكَلامَ نَفْسَهُ.

And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

40 ث ُمَّ عادَ ثانِيَةً فَوَجَدَهُمْ نِياماً، لِأنَّ النُّعاسَ أثقَلَ عُيُونَهُمْ جِدّاً، فَلَمْ يَعرِفُوا ماذا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ.

And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

41 و َرَجِعَ مَرَّةً ثالِثَةً وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أما زِلْتُمْ نائِمينَ وَمُستَرِيحينَ؟ يَكفِي! قَدْ حانَ الوَقْتُ لِكَي يُسَلَّمَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ لِأيدِي الخُطاةِ.

And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 ق ُومُوا وَلنَذهَبْ. ها قَدِ اقتَرَبَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خانَنِي.» اعتِقالُ يَسُوع

Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

43 و َبَينَما كانَ ما يَزالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ، ظَهَرَ يَهُوذا أحَدُ الاثْنَي عَشْرَ، وَمَعَهُ جَمْعٌ يَحمِلُونَ سُيُوفاً وَهَراواتٍ، قَدْ أرسَلَهُمْ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالشَّيُوخُ.

And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44 و َكانَ الخائِنُ قَدْ أعطاهُمْ عَلامَةً وَقالَ: «الَّذِي أُقَبِّلُهُ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ المَطلُوبُ، فَاقبِضُوا عَلَيهِ، وَخُذُوهُ تَحتَ الحِراسَةِ.»

Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

45 ف َلَمّا جاءَ يَهُوذا، اقتَرَبَ حالاً مِنْ يَسُوعَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ!» وَقَبَّلَهُ.

And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.

46 ف َأمسَكوا بِيَسُوعَ وَقَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ.

And they laid hands on him, and took him.

47 ف َاسْتَلَّ أحَدُ الواقِفِينَ هُناكَ سَيفَهُ وَضَرَبَ خادِمَ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ، فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ.

But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

48 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ خَرَجتُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالهَراواتِ كَما تَخرُجُونَ عَلَى مُجرِمٍ؟

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?

49 ل َقَدْ كُنتُ مَعَكُمْ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ وَلَمْ تَقبِضُوا عَلَيَّ! وَلَكِنْ يَنبَغي أنْ يَتِمَّ ما هُوَ مَكتُوبٌ.»

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

50 ث ُمَّ تَخَلَّى عَنْهُ الجَمِيعُ وَهَرَبُوا!

And they all left him, and fled.

51 و َكانَ هُناكَ شابٌّ يَتبَعُهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَرتَدِي عَلَىْ جَسَدِهِ شَيئاً سِوَى رِداءٍ. فَحاوَلُوا أنْ يُمسِكُوهُ،

And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked body: and they lay hold on him;

52 ف َهَرَبَ عارِياً تارِكاً رِداءَهُ فِي أيدِيهِمْ! يَسُوعُ أمامَ القادَةِ اليَهُود

but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.

53 ث ُمَّ اقْتادُوا يَسُوعَ إلَى رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ. فَاجتَمَعَ كُلُّ كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخُ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ.

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

54 أ مّا بُطرُسُ فَتَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ كُلَّ الطَّرِيقِ إلَى داخِلِ ساحَةِ دارِ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ، وَجَلَسَ مَعَ الحُرّاسِ يِتَدَفَّأُ.

And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

55 و َكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَجَمِيعُ أعضاءِ مَجلِسِ اليَهودِ يَسعَونَ إلَى شَهادَةِ زُورٍ ضِدَّ يَسُوعَ لِيَقتُلُوهُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا دَليلاً.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.

56 ح َيثُ شَهِدَ عَلَيهِ كَثِيرُونَ زُوراً، وَلَكِنَّ شَهاداتِهِمْ تَناقَضَتْ.

For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.

57 ث ُمَّ وَقَفَ رِجالٌ آخَرُونَ وَشَهِدُوا زُوراً ضِدَّهُ فَقالوا:

And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

58 « قَدْ سَمِعْنا هَذا الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ: ‹أنا أهدِمُ هَذا الهَيكَلَ المَبنِيَّ بِالأيدِي. وَفِي ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، أبنِي هَيكَلاً آخَرَ لَمْ تَصنَعْهُ الأيدِي.»

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.

59 و َلَكِنَّ شَهاداتِهِمْ لَمْ تَتَّفِقْ أيضاً.

And not even so did their witness agree together.

60 ف َوَقَفَ أمامَهُمْ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ، وَسَألَ يَسُوعَ: «ألَنْ تُدافِعَ عَنْ كُلِّ الاتِّهاماتِ الَّتِي يَتَّهِمُكَ بِها هَؤُلاءِ النّاسُ؟»

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

61 أ مّا يَسُوعُ فَبَقِيَ صامِتاً، وَلَمْ يُجِبْ بِشَيءٍ. فَسَألَهُ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ ثانِيَةً: «هَلْ أنتَ المَسِيحُ، ابْنُ المُبارَكِ؟»

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ. وَسَتَرَونَ ابْنَ الإنسانِ جالِساً عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِ اللهِ، وَآتِياً مَعَ سُحُبِ السَّماءِ.»

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

63 ف َمَزَّقَ رَئِيسُ الكَهَنَةِ ثِيابَهُ وَقالَ: «ما حاجَتُنا إلَى شُهُودٍ بَعْدَ الَّذي سَمِعناهُ.

And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

64 س َمِعْتُمْ إهانَتَهُ للهِ، فَما هُوَ رَأيُكُمْ؟» فَأدانُوهُ جَمِيعاً وَقالُوا إنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ المَوتَ.

Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

65 و َابتَدَأ بَعضُهُمْ يَبصِقُ عَلَيهِ. وَكانُوا يُغَطُّونَ وَجهَهُ وَيَضرِبُونَهُ، ثُمَّ يَقولونَ: «أخبِرْنا يا نَبِيُّ، مَنْ ضَرَبَكَ؟» وَأخَذَهُ الحُرّاسُ وَضَرَبُوهُ. بُطرُسُ يُنكِرُ يَسُوع

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.

66 و َبَينَما بُطرُسُ فِي ساحَةِ الدّارِ، جاءَتْ فَتاةٌ مِنْ خادِماتِ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ،

And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;

67 و َرَأتْ بُطرُسَ يَتَدَفَّأُ، فَنَظَرَتْ إلَيهِ بِتَمَعُّنٍ، وَقالَتْ: «أنتَ أيضاً كُنْتَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ النّاصِرِيِّ.»

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus.

68 ل َكِنَّهُ أنكَرَ وَقالَ: «لا أعرِفُ وَلا أفهَمُ ما الَّذِي تَقُولِينَهُ!» وَخَرَجَ إلَى ساحَةِ الدّارِ، وَعِندَها صاحَ الدِّيكُ.

But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

69 ف َرَأتْهُ الفَتاةُ الخادِمَةُ وَقالَتْ لِلواقِفِينَ هُناكَ: «هَذا الرَّجُلُ واحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِلا شَكٍّ.»

And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

70 ف َأنكَرَ بُطرُسُ ذَلِكَ ثانِيَةً. وَبَعْدَ وَقتٍ قَصِيرٍ، قالَ الواقِفُونَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى لِبُطرُسَ: «بِالتَّأكِيدِ أنتَ واحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، لِأنَّكَ جَلِيلِيٌّ.»

But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

71 أ مّا هُوَ فَبَدَأ يَلعَنُ وَيَحلِفُ وَيَقولُ: «لا أعرِفُ هَذا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَنْهُ!»

But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

72 و َفِي الحالِ صاحَ الدِّيكُ لِلمَرَّةِ الثّانِيَةِ. فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطرُسُ كَلِماتِ يَسُوعَ: «سَتُنكِرُنِي ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ قَبلَ أنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ مَرَّتينِ،» فَانهارَ وَأخَذَ يَبكِي.

And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
