[영어 성경] Matthew chapter 26

CHAPTER 26

Mt. 26:1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his

disciples,

Mt. 26:2 “As you know, the Passover is two days away — and the Son

of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

Mt. 26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled

in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

Mt. 26:4 and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.

Mt. 26:5 “But not during the Feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot

among the people.”

Mt. 26:6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as

Simon the Leper,

Mt. 26:7 a 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.

Mt. 26:8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this

waste?” they asked.

Mt. 26:9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the

money given to the poor.”

Mt. 26:10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering

this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

Mt. 26:11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not

always have me.

Mt. 26:12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to

prepare me for burial.

75

Mt. 26:13 I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached

throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in

memory of her.”

Mt. 26:14 Then one of the Twelve — the one called Judas Iscariot —

went to the chief priests

Mt. 26:15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him

over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty silver coins.

Mt. 26:16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him

over.

Mt. 26:17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the

disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to

make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

Mt. 26:18 He 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.’“

Mt. 26:19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared

the Passover.

Mt. 26:20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the

Twelve.

Mt. 26:21 And while they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one

of you will betray me.”

Mt. 26:22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the

other, “Surely not I, Lord?”

Mt. 26:23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the

bowl with me will betray me.

Mt. 26:24 The 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.”

Mt. 26:25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not

I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “Yes, it is you.” [Or “You

yourself have said it”]

76

Mt. 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and

broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat;

this is my body.”

Mt. 26:27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them,

saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

Mt. 26:28 This is my blood of the [Some manuscripts: the new]

covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of

sins.

Mt. 26:29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on

until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s

kingdom.”

Mt. 26:30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of

Olives.

Mt. 26:31 Then 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.’ [Zech.

13:7]

Mt. 26:32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Mt. 26:33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never

will.”

Mt. 26:34 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before

the cock crows, you will disown me three times.”

Mt. 26:35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will

never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Mt. 26:36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called

Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over

there and pray.”

Mt. 26:37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him,

and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

Mt. 26:38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow

to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

77

Mt. 26:39 Going 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.”

Mt. 26:40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.

“Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he

asked Peter.

Mt. 26:41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The

spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Mt. 26:42 He 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.”

Mt. 26:43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because

their eyes were heavy.

Mt. 26:44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the

third time, saying the same thing.

Mt. 26:45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you

still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son

of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Mt. 26:46 Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Mt. 26:47 While 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.

Mt. 26:48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one

I kiss is the man; arrest him.”

Mt. 26:49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and

kissed him.

Mt. 26:50 Jesus replied, “Friend, do what you came for.” [Or “Friend,

why have you come?”] Then the men stepped forward, seized

Jesus and arrested him.

Mt. 26:51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,

drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting

off his ear.

78

Mt. 26:52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all

who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Mt. 26:53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once

put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

Mt. 26:54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it

must happen in this way?”

Mt. 26:55 At that time 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.

Mt. 26:56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets

might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and

fled.

Mt. 26:57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high

priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had

assembled.

Mt. 26:58 But 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.

Mt. 26:59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for

false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to

death.

Mt. 26:60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came

forward. Finally two came forward

Mt. 26:61 and declared, “This fellow said, `I am able to destroy the

temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’“

Mt. 26:62 Then 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?”

Mt. 26:63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I

charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are

the Christ, [Or Messiah; also in verse 68] the Son of God.”

79

Mt. 26:64 “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you:

In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right

hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of

heaven.”

Mt. 26:65 Then 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.

Mt. 26:66 What do you think?” “He is worthy of death,” they answered.

Mt. 26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists.

Others slapped him

Mt. 26:68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ. Who hit you?”

Mt. 26:69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl

came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

Mt. 26:70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re

talking about,” he said.

Mt. 26:71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another girl saw him

and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of

Nazareth.”

Mt. 26:72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”

Mt. 26:73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and

said, “Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you

away.”

Mt. 26:74 Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore

to them, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately a cock

crowed.

Mt. 26:75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before

the cock crows, you will disown me three times.” And he

went outside and wept bitterly.
