1 و َكانَ قَدِ اقتَرَبَ عِيدُ الخُبزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ الَّذِي يُطلَقُ عَليهِ اسْمُ عِيدِ الفِصحِ أيضاً.

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

2 و َكانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ غَيرِ عَلَنِيَّةٍ لِقَتلِ يَسُوعَ، لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخشَونَ النّاسَ. يَهُوذا يَتَآمَرُ عَلَى يَسُوع

The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

3 أ مّا يَهُوذا الإسْخَريُوطيُّ، الَّذِي كانَ واحِداً مِنَ «الاثنَي عَشَرَ،» فَقَدْ دَخَلَ فيهِ الشَّيطانُ.

And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.

4 ف َذَهَبَ وَتَحَدَّثَ إلَى كِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَحَرّاسِ الهَيكَلِ عَنْ كَيفِيَّةِ تَسليمِ يَسُوعَ إلَيْهِمْ.

And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

5 ف َسُرُّوا كَثِيراً، وَوافَقُوا عَلَى أنْ يُعطُوهُ مالاً.

They were glad and agreed to give him money.

6 ف َقَبِلَ وَبَدَأ يَنتَظِرُ الفُرصَةَ المُناسِبَةَ لِتَسلِيمِهِ إلَيْهِمْ بَعيداً عَنْ أنظارِ النّاسِ. الإعدادُ لِوَجبَةِ الفِصح

So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.

7 و َجاءَ عِيدُ الخُبزِ غَيرِ المُختَمِرِ الَّذِي يُضَحَّى فِيهِ بِحِملانِ الفِصحِ.

Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8 ف َأرسَلَ يَسُوعُ بُطرُسَ وَيُوحَنّا وَقالَ لَهُما: «اذهَبا وَأعِدّا عَشاءَ الفِصحِ لَنا لِكَي نَأْكُلَ.»

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.”

9 ف َسَألاهُ: «أينَ نُعِدُّهُ؟»

They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?”

10 ف َقالَ لَهُما: «عِندَما تَدخُلانِ المَدِينَةَ، سَتَلقَيانِ رَجُلاً يَحمِلُ إبرِيقَ ماءٍ، فَاتبَعاهُ إلَى البَيتِ الَّذِي يَدخُلُهُ.

And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

11 و َقُولا لِصاحِبِ البَيتِ: ‹يَقُولُ لَكَ المُعَلِّمُ: أينَ هِيَ غُرفَةُ الضُّيُوفِ الَّتِي سَأتَناوَلُ فِيها عَشاءَ الفِصحِ مَعَ تَلامِيذِي؟›

And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

12 ف َسَيُرِيكُما ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ غُرفَةً عُلوِيَّةً واسِعَةً مَفرُوشَةً، فَأعِدّا الفِصحَ هُناكَ.»

And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there.”

13 ف َذَهَبا وَوَجَدا كُلَّ شَيءٍ كَما سَبَقَ أنْ أخبَرَهُما يَسُوعُ، فَأعَدّا عَشاءَ الفِصحِ. العَشاءُ الأخِير

And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover. The Lord’s Supper

14 و َلَمّا حانَ الوَقتُ، أخَذَ يَسُوعُ مَكانَهُ إلَى المائِدَةِ وَمَعَهُ الرُّسُلُ.

When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

15 و َقالَ لَهُمْ: «كَمِ اشتَهَيتُ أنْ أتَناوَلَ عَشاءَ الفِصحِ مَعَكُمْ قَبلَ أنْ أمُوتَ.

And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

16 ل ِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنِّي لَنْ أتَناوَلَهُ ثانِيَةً إلَى أنْ يَكتَمِلَ مَعناها فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ.»

for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 ث ُمَّ تَناوَلَ كَأسَ نَبِيذٍ وَشَكَرَ اللهَ، وَقالَ: «خُذُوا هَذِهِ الكَأْسَ وَاشْرَبوا مِنها كُلُّكُمْ.

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;

18 ف َأنا أقُولُ لَكُمْ: «لَنْ أشرَبَ هَذا النَّبيذَ إلَى أنْ يَأتِيَ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ.»

for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 ث ُمَّ أخَذَ خُبزاً وَشَكَرَ اللهَ، وَقَسَّمَهُ وَأعطاهُمْ إيّاهُ وَقالَ: «هَذا هُوَ جَسَدِي الَّذِي يُبذَلُ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ. اعمَلُوا هَذا تَذكاراً لِي.»

And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20 و َعادَ فَتَناوَلَ كَأْسَ النَّبِيذِ بَعدَما تَعَشُّوا وَقالَ: «هَذِهِ الكَأسُ هِيَ كَأْسُ العَهدِ الجَدِيدِ الَّذِي يُقطَعُ بِدَمِي الَّذِي سَيُسفَكُ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ.» مَنِ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُ يَسُوع؟

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

21 « لَكِنْ ها هُوَ الَّذِي يَخُونُنِي يَأْكُلُ مَعِي عَلَى المائِدَةِ نَفسِها.

But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

22 ف َإنَّ ابنَ الإنسانِ ماضٍ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أعَدَّهُ اللهُ، لَكِنْ وَيلٌ لِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَخُونُهُ.»

For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 و َراحُوا يَتَساءَلُونَ فِيما بَينَهُمْ: «مَنْ سَيَفعَلُ هَذا يا تُرَىْ؟» كُنْ خادِماً

And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing. Who Is Greatest

24 ك َما ثارَ بَينَهُمْ جِدالٌ حَولَ أيُّهُمْ يُعتَبَرُ الأعظَمَ.

And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

25 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إنَّ مُلُوكَ الأُمَمِ يَتَسَيَّدُونَ عَلَى شُعُوبِهِمْ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يُدعَونَ ‹مُحْسِنينَ›!

And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’

26 أ مّا أنتُمْ فَلا يَنبَغِي أنْ تَكُونُوا كَذَلِكَ، بَلْ لِيَكُنِ الأعظَمُ فِيكُمُ الأصغَرَ، وَلْيَكُنِ القائِدُ بَينَكُمْ خادِماً.

But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

27 ف َمَنْ أعظَمُ: مَنْ يَجلِسُ إلَى المائِدَةِ أمْ مَنْ يَخدِمُ؟ ألَيسَ مَنْ يَجلِسُ إلَى المائِدَةِ؟ غَيرَ أنِّي بَينَكُمْ كَمَنْ يَخدِمُ.

For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table ? But I am among you as the one who serves.

28 « لَكِنَّكُمْ أنتُمْ وَقَفتُمْ مَعِي فِي تَجارِبِي.

“You are those who have stood by Me in My trials;

29 ل ِهَذا سَأُعطِيكُمْ سُلطانَ المُلُوكِ كَما أعطانِي أبِي.

and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you

30 و َبِهَذا تَأكُلُونَ وَتَشرَبُونَ عَلَى مائِدَتِي فِي مَلَكُوتِي، وَتَجلِسُونَ عَلَى عُرُوشٍ لِتَحكُمُوا عَلَى قَبائِلِ بَنيْ إسرائِيلَ الاثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ.» لا تُضَيِّعُوا إيمانَكُم

that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 « أتَسمَعُنِي يا سِمعانُ، لَقَدِ اسْتَأذَنَ الشَّيطانُ بِأنْ يُغَربِلَكُمْ كَما تُغَربَلُ الحُبوبُ.

“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat;

32 ل َكِنَّنِي صَلَّيْتُ مِنْ أجلِكَ لِكَيلا تَفقِدَ إيمانَكَ، فبَعدَ أنْ تَعُودَ إلَيَّ، قَوِّ إخْوَتَكَ.»

but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

33 ل َكِنَّ بُطرُسَ قالَ لَهُ: «يا رَبُّ، أنا مُستَعِدُّ أنْ أذهَبَ مَعَكَ حَتَّى إلَى السِّجنِ وَإلَى المَوتِ.»

But he said to Him, “Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!”

34 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يا بُطرُسُ، لَنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ اليَومَ قَبلَ أنْ تُنكِرَ ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ أنَّكَ تَعرِفُنِي.» استَعِدُّوا لِلضَّيق

And He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35 و َقالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «تَذَكَّرُوا أنِّي أرسَلتُكُمْ دُونَ مِحفَظَةٍ أوْ حَقِيبَةٍ أوْ حِذاءٍ، فَهَلْ نَقَصَ عَلَيكُمْ شَيءٌ؟» فَقالُوا: «لا.» قالَ لَهُمْ:

And He said to them, “ When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “ No, nothing.”

36 أ مّا الآنَ، فَمَنْ يَملِكُ مِحفَظَةً فَلْيَحمِلها، وَيَحمِلُ مَعَها حَقِيبَةً أيضاً، وَمَنْ لا يَملِكُ سَيفاً فَلْيَبِعْ رِداءَهُ وَليَشتَرِ سَيفاً.

And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

37 ل ِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ الكَلِمَةَ القائِلَةَ: ‹وَحُسِبَ مَعَ المُجْرِمينَ،› لا بُدَّ أنْ تَتَحَقَّقَ. نَعَمْ، إنَّ هَذا الكَلامَ الَّذِي يَتَعَلَّقُ بِي، يَتِمُّ الآنَ.»

For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘ And He was numbered with transgressors ’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment.”

38 ف َقالُوا: «انظُرْ يا سَيِّدُ، لَدَينا سَيفانِ،» فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «يَكْفيْ!» يَسُوعُ يَطلُبُ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ أنْ يُصَلُّوا

They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.” The Garden of Gethsemane

39 ث ُمَّ انطَلَقَ وَذَهَبَ كَالمُعتادِ إلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ، وَتَبِعَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ.

And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

40 و َعِندَما وَصَلَ إلَى المَكانِ قالَ لَهُمْ: «صَلُّوا لِكَي لا تُجَرَّبُوا.»

When He arrived at the place, He said to them, “ Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

41 و َابتَعَدَ عَنهُمْ نَحْوَ رَميَةِ حَجَرٍ، ثُمَّ ركَعَ وَصَلَّى:

And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray,

42 « يا أبِي، إنْ أرَدْتَ، أبعِدْ هَذِهِ الكَأسَ عَنِّي، لَكِنْ لِيَكُنْ ما تُرِيدُهُ أنتَ، لا ما أُرِيدُهُ أنا.»

saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43 ث ُمَّ ظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلاكٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَكانَ يُقَوِّيْهِ.

Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

44 و َإذْ كانَ فِي ألَمٍ عَمِيقٍ، صَلَّى بِإلحاحٍ أكبَرَ. وَبَدَأ عَرَقُهُ يَتَصَبَّبُ عَلَى الأرْضِ كَقَطَراتِ دَمٍ.

And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

45 و َنَهَضَ مِنْ صَلاتِهِ وَجاءَ إلَى تَلامِيذِهِ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ نائِمِينَ بَعدَ أنْ أنهَكَهُمُ الحُزنُ.

When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «لِماذا أنتُمْ نائِمُونَ؟ قُومُوا وَصَلُّوا لِكَي لا تُجَرَّبُوا.»

and said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Jesus Betrayed by Judas

47 و َبَينَما كانَ ما يَزالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ ظَهَرَ جَمعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ يَقُودُهُمْ يَهُوذا، وَهُوَ أحَدُ «الاثنَي عَشَرَ.» فَاقتَرَبَ يَهُوذا مِنْ يَسُوعَ لِكَي يُقَبِّلَهُ.

While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48 ف َقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «يا يَهُوذا، أتَخُونُ ابنَ الإنسانِ بِقُبلَةٍ؟»

But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 و َلَمّا رَأى الَّذِينَ حَولَهُ ما كانَ يُوشِكُ أنْ يَحصُلَ، قالُوا: «يا رَبُّ، أنُهاجِمُهُمْ بِسُيُوفِنا؟»

When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

50 و َضَرَبَ واحِدٌ مِنهُمْ عَبدَ رَئيسِ الكَهَنَةِ فَقَطَعَ أُذُنَهُ اليُمنَى.

And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «تَوَقَّفْ! كَفَى!» وَلَمَسَ أُذُنَ الخادِمِ فَشَفاها.

But Jesus answered and said, “ Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 ث ُمَّ قالَ يَسُوعُ لِكِبارِ الكَهَنَةِ وَحُرّاسِ الهَيكَلِ وَالشُّيُوخِ الَّذِينَ جاءُوا عَلَيهِ: «هَلْ خَرَجتُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَالهَراواتِ كَما تَخرُجُونَ عَلَى مُجرِمٍ؟

Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

53 ل َقَدْ كُنتُ مَعَكُمْ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، وَلَمْ تُمسِكُونِي. لَكِنْ هَذِهِ هِيَ ساعَتُكُمْ. هَذا هُوَ الوَقتُ الَّذِي تَملُكُ فِيهِ الظُّلمَةُ.» بُطرُسُ يُنكِرُ يَسُوع

While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours.” Jesus’ Arrest

54 و َقَبَضُوا عَلَيهِ وَأخَذُوهُ وَجاءُوا بِهِ إلَى بَيتِ رَئِيسِ الكَهَنَةِ. أمّا بُطرُسُ فَتَبِعَهُمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

55 و َأشعَلَ الحُرّاسُ ناراً فِي وَسَطِ السّاحَةِ وَجَلَسُوا مَعاً، فَجَلَسَ بُطرُسُ بَينَهُمْ.

After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

56 ف َرَأتهُ فَتاةٌ خادِمَةٌ جالِساً هُناكَ فِي ضَوْءِ النّارِ، فَقالَتْ: «لَقَدْ كانَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مَعَهُ أيضاً.»

And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.”

57 ل َكِنَّ بُطرُسَ أنكَرَ وَقالَ: «أنا لا أعرِفُهُ يا امْرأةُ!»

But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

58 و َبَعدَ قَلِيلٍ رَآهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقالَ: «أنتَ واحِدٌ مِنهُمْ.» فَقالَ بُطرُسُ: «لَستُ كَذَلِكَ يا رَجُلُ!»

A little later, another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

59 و َبَعدَ ساعَةٍ تَقرِيباً، أصَرَّ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ مُؤَكِّداً: «لا شَكَّ أنَّ هَذا كانَ مَعَهُ أيضاً، فَهُوَ جَلِيلِيٌّ.»

After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”

60 ل َكِنَّ بُطرُسَ قالَ: «أنا لا أدرِي عَمَّ تَتَحَدَّثُ يا رَجُلُ!» وَفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ، وَبَينَما كانَ ما يَزالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ، صاحَ الدِّيكُ،

But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

61 ف َالتَفَتَ الرَّبُّ وَنَظَرَ إلَى بُطرُسَ. فَتَذَكَّرَ بُطرُسُ حينَئِذٍ قَولَ الرَّبِّ لَهُ: «سَتُنكِرُنِي ثَلاثَ مَرّاتٍ قَبلَ أنْ يَصِيحَ الدِّيكُ اليَومَ.»

The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “ Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62 ف َخَرَجَ وَبَكَى بِمَرارَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ. الاستِهزاءُ بِيَسُوع

And he went out and wept bitterly.

63 و َبَدَأ الرِّجالُ الَّذِينَ يَحرُسُونَ يَسُوعَ يَستَهزِئُونَ بِهِ وَيَضرِبُونَهُ.

Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

64 و َغَطُّوا عَينَيهِ وَبَدَأُوا يَسألُونَهُ: «ما دُمتَ نَبِيّاً، اعْرِفْ مَنِ الَّذِي ضَرَبَكَ؟»

and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, “ Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?”

65 و َقالُوا أشياءَ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةً لإهانَتِهِ. يَسُوعُ يَقِفُ أمامَ قادَةِ اليَهُود

And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming. Jesus before the Sanhedrin

66 و َعِندَما جاءَ النَّهارُ، اجتَمَعَ شُيُوخُ الشَّعبِ وَكِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمِو الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَاستَدْعوا يَسوعَ إلَى اجتِماعِهِمْ

When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,

67 و َقالُوا لَهُ: «إنْ كُنتَ المَسِيحَ، فَأخبِرنا.» فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «إذا أخبَرْتُكُمْ، فَإنَّكُمْ تَرفُضُونَ أنْ تُصَدِّقُونِي.

“ If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;

68 و َإذا سَألتُكُمْ فَإنَّكُمْ تَرفُضُونَ أنْ تُجِيبُونِي.

and if I ask a question, you will not answer.

69 ل َكِنْ مِنَ الآنَ فَصاعِداً سَيَكُونُ ابنُ الإنسانِ جالِساً عَنْ يَمِيْنِ عَرشِ اللهِ.»

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70 ف َقالُوا لَهُ جَمِيعاً: «فَهَلْ أنتَ ابنُ اللهِ إذاً؟» فَأجابَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ قُلْتُمُوها بِأنفُسِكُمْ، إنِّي كَذَلِكَ.»

And they all said, “Are You the Son of God, then?” And He said to them, “ Yes, I am.”

71 ف َقالُوا: «هَلْ نَحتاجُ بَعدَ هَذا إلَى مَزِيدٍ مِنَ الشُّهُودِ؟ لَقَدْ سَمِعنا بِأنفُسِنا مِنْ فَمِهِ.»

Then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”
