Matthew 26 – NIV & CRO

New International Version

Matthew 26:1-75

The Plot Against Jesus

1When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, 2“As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 5“But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11The poor you will always have with you,26:11 See Deut. 15:11. but you will not always have me. 12When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

14Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Last Supper

17On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

18He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’ ” 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

22They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

23Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”

Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28This is my blood of the26:28 Some manuscripts the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written:

“ ‘I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’26:31 Zech. 13:7

32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

33Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

34“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

35But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Gethsemane

36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Jesus Arrested

47While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

50Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”26:50 Or “Why have you come, friend?”

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

55In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

57Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

59The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

Finally two came forward 61and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ”

62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 63But Jesus remained silent.

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

64“You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”26:64 See Psalm 110:1; Daniel 7:13.

65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66What do you think?”

“He is worthy of death,” they answered.

67Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him 68and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

Peter Disowns Jesus

69Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

70But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

71Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”

73After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

74Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Knijga O Kristu

Matej 26:1-75

Zavjera protiv Isusa

(Mk 14:1-2; Lk 22:1-2; Iv 11:45-53)

1Kad je Isus sve to ispripovjedio, reče učenicima: 2“Znate da je za dva dana Pasha i da će mene, Sina Čovječjega, izdati da me raspnu.”

3Tada se svećenički poglavari i narodne starješine okupe u dvoru velikog svećenika imenom Kajfa 4te se dogovore da Isusa na prijevaru uhvate i ubiju. 5“Nećemo na blagdansku svetkovinu”, rekli su, “da se narod ne pobuni.”

Pomazanje u Betaniji

(Mk 14:3-9; Iv 12:1-8)

6Dok je Isus bio u Betaniji za stolom u kući Šimuna gubavca, 7dođe k njemu neka žena s alabasternom posudom skupocjene pomasti i izlije mu je na glavu. 8Videći to, učenici počnu negodovati: “Čemu takva rastrošnost! 9Mogla se ta pomast skupo prodati, a novac dati siromasima.”

10Isus to opazi pa im reče: “Zašto joj dodijavate? Učinila mi je dobro djelo! 11Uvijek će biti siromaha, a ja neću uvijek biti s vama. 12Izlila je tu pomast na mene da pripravi moje tijelo za ukop. 13Zaista vam kažem, gdje god se diljem svijeta bude propovijedala ova Radosna vijest, spominjat će se i ovo njezino djelo, njoj na uspomenu.”

Juda pristaje izdati Isusa

(Mk 14:10-11; Lk 22:3-6)

14Tada Juda Iškariotski, jedan od Dvanaestorice, ode svećeničkim poglavarima 15te ih upita: “Koliko ćete mi platiti da vam izdam Isusa?” Oni mu obećaju trideset srebrnjaka. 16Od tada Juda počne tražiti prigodu da ga izda.

Posljednja večera

(Mk 14:12-21; Lk 22:7-14, 21-23; Iv 13:21-30)

17Na prvi dan Blagdana beskvasnih kruhova učenici upitaju Isusa: “Gdje želiš da ti pripravimo pashalnu večeru?”

18“Idite u grad tom i tom čovjeku”, odgovori on, “pa mu recite: ‘Naš učitelj poručuje: Moje je vrijeme blizu. Kod tebe ću blagovati Pashu sa svojim učenicima.’”

19Učenici učine kako ih je Isus uputio te ondje pripreme pashalnu večeru.

Juda pristaje izdati Isusa

(Mk 14:17-21; Lk 22:21-23)

20Uvečer je Isus bio za stolom s Dvanaestoricom. 21Dok su blagovali, on reče: “Zaista vam kažem, jedan od vas će me izdati!”

22Oni se silno ražaloste pa ga jedan za drugim počnu pitati: “Nisam valjda ja taj, Gospodine?”

23On odgovori: “Izdat će me onaj koji sa mnom umače kruh u istu zdjelu. 24Jer ja, Sin Čovječji, moram umrijeti kao što piše u Svetome pismu. Ali teško onome koji izda Sina Čovječjega! Bilo bi mu bolje da se nije ni rodio!”

25I izdajnik Juda ga upita: “Učitelju26:25 U grčkome: Rabbi., da nisam ja taj?”

A Isus mu reče: “Sam si kazao.”

Posljednja večera

(Mk 14:22-26; Lk 22:17-20; 1 Kor 11:23-25)

26Dok su blagovali, Isus uzme kruh, blagoslovi ga, razlomi te podijeli učenicima govoreći: “Uzmite i jedite! To je moje tijelo.” 27Zatim uzme čašu vina, zahvali Bogu i pruži njima govoreći: “Svi pijte iz nje! 28Ovo je moja krv, krv novoga Saveza, koja se prolijeva za oproštenje grijeha mnogih ljudi. 29I kažem vam: Neću više piti vina26:29 U grčkome: neću piti od trsova roda. sve do onoga dana kada ću piti s vama novo vino u kraljevstvu svojega Oca.” 30Otpjevaju zatim psalme i zapute se prema Maslinskoj gori.

Isusovo proroštvo o Petru

(Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34; Iv 13:36-38)

31Tada im Isus reče: “Noćas ćete me svi napustiti, jer u Svetome pismu piše:

‘Udarit ću pastira

i ovce će se razbježati.’26:31 Zaharija 13:7.

32Ali kada uskrsnem, ići ću pred vama u Galileju.”

33Petar mu reče: “Napuste li te svi ostali, ja te neću napustiti!”

34“Zaista ti kažem,” reče mu Isus, “još ove noći, prije nego što pijetao zakukuriče, triput ćeš me se odreći.”

35“Neću!” odvrati Petar. “Makar morao s tobom i umrijeti, neću te se odreći!” Tako su se zaklinjali i svi ostali.

Isus se moli u Getsemaniju

(Mk 14:32-42; Lk 22:39-46; Iv 18:1)

36Isus dođe s učenicima u maslinik nazvan Getsemani te reče učenicima: “Sjednite ovdje dok se ja odem pomoliti!” 37Povede sa sobom Petra i obojicu Zebedejevih sinova. Obuzmu ga žalost i tjeskoba. 38Tada im reče: “Duša mi je nasmrt shrvana tugom. Ostanite ovdje i bdijte sa mnom.”

39Ode malo dalje i padne ničice moleći se: “Oče moj! Ako je moguće, poštedi me ove čaše! Ipak, neka bude po tvojoj, a ne po mojoj volji.” 40Zatim se vrati trojici učenika i nađe ih spavati te reče Petru: “Niste li mogli ni ure probdjeti sa mnom? 41Ostanite budni i molite se da vas ne bi svladala kušnja! Jer duh je spreman, ali je tijelo slabo.”

42Ode još jedanput i pomoli se: “Oče moj! Ako nije moguće da me poštediš te čaše, neka bude po tvojoj, a ne po mojoj volji.” 43I opet ih po povratku nađe spavati jer su im oči otežale. 44Opet ih ostavi i ode se treći put pomoliti istim riječima.

45Zatim se vrati k učenicima i reče im: “Još spavate i odmarate se? Kucnuo je čas! Sin Čovječji, predan je grešnicima u ruke. 46Ustanite! Hajdemo! Evo, moj je izdajnik već tu!”

Isusovo uhićenje

(Mk 14:43-50; Lk 22:47-53; Iv 18:3-11)

47Dok je još govorio, stigne Juda, jedan od Dvanaestorice, a s njime i svjetina naoružana mačevima i toljagama, koju su poslali svećenički poglavari i narodni starješine. 48Izdajica im je dao znak: “To je onaj kojega poljubim. Uhvatite ga.” 49On odmah priđe Isusu i reče: “Zdravo, Učitelju!” i poljubi ga.

50“Zašto si došao ovamo, prijatelju?” ukori ga Isus. Zatim podignu ruke na Isusa i uhvate ga. 51A jedan od onih koji su bili s Isusom maši se rukom te izvuče mač i njime odsiječe uho sluzi velikoga svećenika.

52“Vrati mač u korice”, reče mu Isus, “jer tko se mača laća, od mača će i poginuti. 53Zar ne shvaćaš da mogu tražiti od Oca više od dvanaest legija anđela da nas zaštite i on bi ih odmah poslao? 54Ali da to učinim, kako bi se ispunilo Sveto pismo?”

55Zatim reče svjetini: “Pošli ste na mene mačevima i toljagama kao na prevratnika! A svaki dan sam sjedio u Hramu i poučavao, pa me ipak niste uhvatili. 56Ali sve se ovo događa zato da bi se ispunilo ono što su o meni u Pismu napisali proroci.” Nato ga svi učenici napuste i pobjegnu.

Isus pred Velikim vijećem

(Mk 14:53-65; Lk 22:54-55, 63-71; Iv 18:12-13, 19-24)

57Isusa uhvate i odvedu ga velikomu svećeniku Kajfi kod kojega su se okupili pismoznanci i starješine. 58Petar je izdaleka slijedio Isusa do dvorišta palače velikog svećenika. On uđe u dvorište te sjedne sa slugama da vidi kako će sve to završiti.

59Unutra su svećenički poglavari i cijelo Veliko vijeće tražili su protiv Isusa kakvo lažno svjedočanstvo na temelju kojega bi ga mogli smaknuti. 60Ali nisu ga mogli pronaći iako su se javili mnogi lažni svjedoci. Napokon dođu dvojica 61i izjave: “Ovaj je rekao: ‘Mogu srušiti Božji hram i za tri dana ga opet izgraditi!’”

62Veliki svećenik zatim stane i upita Isusa: “Zar ništa ne odgovaraš na ove optužbe protiv tebe?” 63Isus je šutio. “Zakuni se živim Bogom i reci jesi li ti Krist, Božji Sin”, reče veliki svećenik.

64“Sam si rekao”, odgovori Isus. “A ja vam kažem da ćete gledati Sina Čovječjega kako sjedi zdesna Svemogućemu i kako dolazi na nebeskim oblacima.”26:64 Vidjeti: Psalam 110:1; Daniel 7:13.

65Nato veliki svećenik razdere svoju odjeću i reče: “Hulio je na Boga! Što će nam još svjedoci? 66Što kažete?” A oni odgovore: “Zaslužio je smrt!”

67Zatim su Isusu pljuvali u lice i tukli ga. Neki su ga pljuskali 68govoreći: “Proreci nam tko te je udario, Kriste!”

Petar se odriče Isusa

(Mk 14:66-72; Lk 22:54-62; Iv 18:15-18, 25-27)

69Dok je Petar sjedio vani u dvorištu, priđe mu neka sluškinja i reče: “I ti si bio s Isusom Galilejcem!”

70Petar to pred svima zaniječe: “Ne znam o čemu govoriš!”

71Kad je izišao u predvorje, spazi ga druga sluškinja i reče nazočnima: “Ovaj je bio s Isusom Nazarećaninom!”

72On opet zaniječe i još se zakune: “Ne poznajem tog čovjeka!”

73Ali ubrzo mu priđu ljudi koji su bili ondje. “Pa ti si doista jedan od njih! Odaje te galilejski naglasak.”

74Petar se stane kleti i zaklinjati: “Ja ne poznajem tog čovjeka!” I pijetao odmah zakukuriče.

75On se tada sjeti što mu je Isus rekao: “Zaista ti kažem, prije nego što pijetao zakukuriče, triput ćeš me se odreći.” Iziđe iz dvorišta i gorko zaplače.
