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

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover.

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

And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

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

Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

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

So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

5 ف َسُرُّوا كَثِيراً، وَوافَقُوا عَلَى أنْ يُعطُوهُ مالاً.

And 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 promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude. Jesus and His Disciples Prepare the Passover

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

Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed.

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

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

9 ف َسَألاهُ: «أينَ نُعِدُّهُ؟»

So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”

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

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

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

Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

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

Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”

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

So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

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

When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.

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

Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have 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 will no longer eat of 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.

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide 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 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 He took bread, gave thanks and 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؟

Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

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

But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.

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

And truly the Son of Man goes 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

Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. The Disciples Argue About Greatness

24 ك َما ثارَ بَينَهُمْ جِدالٌ حَولَ أيُّهُمْ يُعتَبَرُ الأعظَمَ.

Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the 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 exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise 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 not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

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, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.

28 « لَكِنَّكُمْ أنتُمْ وَقَفتُمْ مَعِي فِي تَجارِبِي.

“But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials.

29 ل ِهَذا سَأُعطِيكُمْ سُلطانَ المُلُوكِ كَما أعطانِي أبِي.

And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,

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 sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

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

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as 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 should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

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

But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, 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

Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.” Supplies for the Road

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 without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.”

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

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment 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 say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”

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

So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.” The Prayer in the Garden

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

Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.

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

When He came to 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 was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed,

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

saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

43 ث ُمَّ ظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلاكٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَكانَ يُقَوِّيْهِ.

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

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

And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

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

When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

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

Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane

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

And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to 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 around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

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

And one of them struck the servant 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, “Permit even 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, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

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

When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly

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

Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed at a distance.

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

Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

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

And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.”

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

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

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

And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.” 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.»

Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.”

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 saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

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

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

62 ف َخَرَجَ وَبَكَى بِمَرارَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ. الاستِهزاءُ بِيَسُوع

So Peter went out and wept bitterly. Jesus Mocked and Beaten

63 و َبَدَأ الرِّجالُ الَّذِينَ يَحرُسُونَ يَسُوعَ يَستَهزِئُونَ بِهِ وَيَضرِبُونَهُ.

Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat Him.

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

And having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?”

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

And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him. Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

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

As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, 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 by no means believe.

68 و َإذا سَألتُكُمْ فَإنَّكُمْ تَرفُضُونَ أنْ تُجِيبُونِي.

And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go.

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

Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

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

Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You rightly say that I am.”

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

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