The Arrest of Jesus
(Matthew 26.47-56Mark 14.43-50Luke 22.47-53)
1 After Jesus had said this prayer, he left with his disciples and went across Kidron Brook. There was a garden in that place, and Jesus and his disciples went in. 2 Judas, the traitor, knew where it was, because many times Jesus had met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches. 4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
“I am he,” he said.
Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them. 6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground. 7 Again Jesus asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 “I have already told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “If, then, you are looking for me, let these others go.” ( 9 He said this so that what he had said might come true: “Father, I have not lost even one of those you gave me.”)
10 Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the High Priest's slave, cutting off his right ear. The name of the slave was Malchus. 11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back in its place! Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?”
Jesus before Annas
12 Then the Roman soldiers with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus, tied him up, 13 and took him first to Annas. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish authorities that it was better that one man should die for all the people.
Peter Denies Jesus
(Matthew 26.69Matthew 70Mark 14.66-68Luke 22.55-57)
15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was well known to the High Priest, so he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the High Priest's house, 16 while Peter stayed outside by the gate. Then the other disciple went back out, spoke to the girl at the gate, and brought Peter inside. 17 The girl at the gate said to Peter, “Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?”
“No, I am not,” answered Peter.
18 It was cold, so the servants and guards had built a charcoal fire and were standing around it, warming themselves. So Peter went over and stood with them, warming himself.
The High Priest Questions Jesus
(Matthew 26.59-66Mark 14.55-64Luke 22.66-71)
19 The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20 Jesus answered, “I have always spoken publicly to everyone; all my teaching was done in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the people come together. I have never said anything in secret. 21 Why, then, do you question me? Question the people who heard me. Ask them what I told them—they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards there slapped him and said, “How dare you talk like that to the High Priest!”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything wrong, tell everyone here what it was. But if I am right in what I have said, why do you hit me?”
24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the High Priest.
Peter Denies Jesus Again
(Matthew 26.71-75Mark 14.69-72Luke 22.58-62)
25 Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, “Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?”
But Peter denied it. “No, I am not,” he said.
26 One of the High Priest's slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, spoke up. “Didn't I see you with him in the garden?” he asked.
27 Again Peter said “No”—and at once a rooster crowed.
Jesus before Pilate
(Matthew 27.1Matthew 2Matthew 11-14Mark 15.1-5Luke 23.1-5)
28 Early in the morning Jesus was taken from Caiaphas' house to the governor's palace. The Jewish authorities did not go inside the palace, for they wanted to keep themselves ritually clean, in order to be able to eat the Passover meal. 29 So Pilate went outside to them and asked, “What do you accuse this man of?”
30 Their answer was, “We would not have brought him to you if he had not committed a crime.”
31 Pilate said to them, “Then you yourselves take him and try him according to your own law.”
They replied, “We are not allowed to put anyone to death.” ( 32 This happened in order to make come true what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he would die.)
33 Pilate went back into the palace and called Jesus. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked him.
34 Jesus answered, “Does this question come from you or have others told you about me?”
35 Pilate replied, “Do you think I am a Jew? It was your own people and the chief priests who handed you over to me. What have you done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world; if my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. No, my kingdom does not belong here!”
37 So Pilate asked him, “Are you a king, then?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me.”
38 “And what is truth?” Pilate asked.
Jesus Is Sentenced to Death
(Matthew 27.15-31Mark 15.6-20Luke 23.13-25)
Then Pilate went back outside to the people and said to them, “I cannot find any reason to condemn him. 39 But according to the custom you have, I always set free a prisoner for you during the Passover. Do you want me to set free for you the king of the Jews?”
40 They answered him with a shout, “No, not him! We want Barabbas!” (Barabbas was a bandit.)
اعتقال يسوع
(متى 26‏:47‏-56، مرقس 14‏:43‏-50، لوقا 22‏:47‏-53)
1 قالَ يَسوعُ هذا الكلامَ وخرَجَ معَ تلاميذِهِ، فعبَرَ وادي قَدْرونَ وكانَ هُناكَ بُستانٌ، فدَخَلَهُ هوَ وتلاميذُهُ. 2 وكانَ يَهوذا الذي أسلَمَهُ يَعرِفُ هذا المكانَ، لأنّ يَسوعَ كانَ يَجتَمِـعُ فيهِ كثيرًا معَ تلاميذِهِ. 3 فجاءَ يَهوذا إلى هُناكَ بِجُنودٍ وحَرَسٍ أرسَلَهُم رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ والفَرّيسيّونَ، وكانوا يَحمِلونَ المَصابـيحَ والمشاعِلَ والسّلاحَ. 4 فتقَدّمَ يَسوعُ وهوَ يَعرِفُ ما سيَحدُثُ لَه وقالَ لهُم: «مَنْ تَطلُبونَ؟» 5 أجابوا: «يَسوعَ النّاصِريّ». فقالَ لهُم: «أنا هوَ».
وكانَ يَهوذا الذي أسلَمَهُ واقِفًا معَهُم. 6 فلمّا قالَ لهُم يَسوعُ: «أنا هوَ»، تَراجَعوا ووقَعوا إلى الأرضِ. 7 فسألَهُم يَسوعُ ثانيَةً: «مَنْ تَطلُبونَ؟» أجابوا: «يَسوعَ النّاصِريّ». 8 فقالَ لهُم يَسوعُ: «قُلتُ لكُم: أنا هوَ. فإذا كُنتُم تَطلُبوني، فَدَعُوا هَؤُلاءِ يَذهَبونَ». 9 فتَمّ ما قالَ يَسوعُ: «ما خَسِرتُ أحدًا مِنَ الذينَ وهَبتَهُم لي».
10 وكانَ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ يَحمِلُ سَيفًا، فاَستَلّهُ وضرَبَ خادِمَ رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ فَقطَعَ أُذُنَهُ اليُمنى، وكانَ اَسمُ الخادِمِ مَلْخَسَ. 11 فقالَ يَسوعُ لبُطرُسَ: «رُدّ سَيفَك إلى غِمدِهِ! ألا أشرَبُ كأسَ الآلامِ التي جَعَلها لي الآبُ».

12 فقَبَضَ الجنودُ وقائِدُهُم وحرَسُ الهَيكَلِ على يَسوعَ وقَيّدوهُ 13 وأخذوهُ أوّلاً إلى حَنّانَ، وهوَ حَمُو قَيافا رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ في تِلكَ السّنةِ. 14 وقَيافا هذا هوَ الذي أشارَ على اليَهودِ فقالَ: «أنْ يَموتَ رَجُلٌ واحدٌ فِدى الشّعبِ خَيرٌ لكُم».

15 وكانَ سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ وتِلميذٌ آخَرُ يَتبَعانِ يَسوعَ. وكانَ هذا التّلميذُ مَعروفًا مِنْ رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ، فدخَلَ دارَ رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ معَ يَسوعَ. 16 أمّا بُطرُسُ فوقَفَ في الخارِجِ عِندَ البابِ. وعادَ التّلميذُ الآخرُ الذي يَعرِفُهُ رَئيسُ الكَهنَةِ إلى الخارِجِ وكَلّمَ الفتاةَ التي تَحرُسُ البابَ وأدخَلَ بُطرُسَ. 17 فقالَتِ الفتاةُ لِبُطرُسَ: «أما أنتَ أيضًا مِنْ تلاميذِ هذا الرّجُلِ؟» فأجابَها بُطرُسُ: «ما أنا مِنهُم».
18 وكانَ البَرْدُ شَديدًا، فأوقَدَ الخَدَمُ والحرَسُ نارًا وأخذوا يتَدَفّأونَ، ووقَفَ بُطرُسُ يتَدَفّأُ معَهُم.

19 وسألَ رَئيسُ الكَهنَةِ يَسوعَ عَنْ تلاميذِهِ وتَعليمِهِ، 20 فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «كَلّمْتُ النّاسَ عَلانيةً، وعَلّمتُ دائِمًا في المَجامِـعِ وفي الهَيكَلِ حَيثُ يَجتَمِـعُ اليَهودُ كلّهُم، وما قُلتُ شيئًا واحدًا في الخِفيَةِ. 21 فلِماذا تسأَلُني؟ إِسأَلِ الذينَ سَمِعوني عمّا كَلّمتُهُم بِه، فَهُم يَعرِفونَ ما قُلتُ». 22 فلمّا قالَ يَسوعُ هذا الكلامَ، لَطَمَهُ واحِدٌ مِنَ الحَرَسِ كانَ بِجانِبِهِ وقالَ لَه: «أهكذا تُجيبُ رَئيسَ الكَهنَةِ؟» 23 فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «إنْ كُنتُ أخطأتُ في الكلامِ، فقُلْ لي أينَ الخَطَأُ؟ وإنْ كُنتُ أصَبْتُ، فلِماذا تَضرِبُني؟»
24 فأرسلَهُ حنّانُ مُوثَقًا إلى قَيافا رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ.

25 وبَينَما سِمعانُ بُطرُسُ واقِفٌ هُناكَ يَتَدَفّأُ قالوا لَه: «أما أنتَ مِنْ تلاميذِهِ؟» فأنكَرَ وقالَ: «ما أنا مِنهُم!»
26 فقالَ لَه واحِدٌ مِنْ خَدَمِ رَئيسِ الكَهنَةِ، وكانَ مِنْ أقرباءِ الرّجُلِ الذي قطَعَ بُطرُسُ أذنَهُ: «أما رأيتُكَ معَهُ في البُستانِ؟» 27 فأنكَرَ أيضًا وفي الحالِ صاحَ الدّيكُ.
يسوع عند بـيلاطس
(متى 27‏:1‏-2‏،متى 11‏-14، مرقس 15‏:1‏-15، لوقا 23‏:1‏-5)
28 وأخذوا يَسوعَ مِنْ عِندِ قَيافا إلى قَصرِ الحاكِمِ. وكانَ الوقتُ صَباحًا. فاَمتَنَعَ اليَهودُ مِنْ دُخولِ القَصرِ لِئَلاّ يَتنَجّسوا، فلا يتَمكّنوا مِنْ أكلِ عَشاءِ الفِصحِ. 29 فخَرَجَ إلَيهِم بِـيلاطُسُ وسألَهُم: «بِماذا تَتّهِمونَ هذا الرّجُلَ؟» 30 فأجابوا: «لَولا أنّهُ مُجرِمٌ، لما أسلَمْناهُ إلَيكَ». 31 فقالَ لهُم بِـيلاطُسُ: «خُذوهُ أنتُم وحاكِموهُ حسَبَ شريعَتِكُم». فأجابوا: «لا يَجوزُ لنا أنْ نَحكُمَ على أحدٍ بالقَتْلِ». 32 فتَمّ ما قالَ يَسوعُ مُشيرًا إلى المِيتَةِ التي يَموتُها.
33 فعادَ بِـيلاطُسُ إلى قَصرِ الحاكِمِ ودَعا يَسوعَ وقالَ لَه: «أأنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهودِ؟» 34 فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «أتَقولُ هذا مِنْ عِندِكَ، أمْ قالَهُ لكَ آخَرونَ؟» 35 فقالَ بِـيلاطُسُ: «أيهودِيّ أنا؟ شَعبُكَ ورُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ أسلَموكَ إليّ. فماذا فعَلْتَ؟» 36 أجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «ما مَملكَتي مِنْ هذا العالَمِ. لَو كانَت مَملكَتي مِنْ هذا العالَمِ، لَدافَعَ عنّي أتباعي حتى لا أُسلَمَ إلى اليَهودِ. لا! ما مَملكَتي مِنْ هُنا».
37 فقالَ لَه بِـيلاطُسُ: «أمَلِكٌ أنتَ، إذَنْ؟» أجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «أنتَ تَقولُ إنّي مَلِكٌ. أنا وُلِدْتُ وجِئتُ إلى العالَمِ حتى أشهَدَ لِلحَقّ. فمَنْ كانَ مِنْ أبناءِ الحَقّ يَستَمِـعُ إلى صَوتي». 38 فقالَ لَه بِـيلاطُسُ: «ما هوَ الحقّ؟» قالَ هذا وخرَجَ ثانيَةً إلى اليَهودِ وقالَ لهُم: «لا أجِدُ سَبَــبًا لِلحُكمِ علَيهِ. 39 ولكِنّ العادَةَ عِندَكُم أنْ أُطلِقَ لكُم سَجينًا في عيدِ الفِصحِ. أتُريدونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لكُم مَلِكَ اليَهودِ؟» 40 فصاحوا: «لا تُطلِقْ هذا، بل باراباسَ». وكانَ باراباسُ لِصّا.
