27
GreekΚαὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Πάντες ⸀σκανδαλισθήσεσθε, ὅτι γέγραπται· Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα, καὶ ⸂τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται⸃.
Orthodox ReadingAnd Jesus said to them: «You will all fall awayⓘ, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scatteredⓘ.
28
Greekἀλλὰ μετὰ τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με προάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.

29
Greekὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἔφη αὐτῷ· ⸂Εἰ καὶ⸃ πάντες σκανδαλισθήσονται, ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἐγώ.
Orthodox ReadingPeter said to him: «Even if all fall away, I will not!».
30
Greekκαὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτι σὺ σήμερον ⸂ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ⸃ πρὶν ἢ δὶς ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι τρίς ⸂με ἀπαρνήσῃ⸃.
Orthodox ReadingAnd Jesus said to him: «Amenⓘ I say to you: this very day, you yourself, on this night of Pesach (the night of the Passover seder), before the cock crows twiceⓘ, you will deny me three times».
31
Greekὁ δὲ ⸂ἐκπερισσῶς ἐλάλει⸃· Ἐὰν ⸂δέῃ με⸃ συναποθανεῖν σοι, οὐ μή σε ⸀ἀπαρνήσομαι. ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ πάντες ἔλεγον.
Orthodox ReadingBut he, with great insistence, kept saying: «Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you». And they all said the same.
32
GreekΚαὶ ἔρχονται εἰς χωρίον οὗ τὸ ὄνομα Γεθσημανί, καὶ λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· Καθίσατε ὧδε ἕως προσεύξωμαι.
Orthodox ReadingThey came to a plot of ground whose name is Gethsemane, the Gat Shemanimⓘ, and he said to his disciples (talmidim, the pupils of the master): «Sit here, while I pray».
33
Greekκαὶ παραλαμβάνει τὸν Πέτρον καὶ ⸂Ἰάκωβον καὶ⸃ Ἰωάννην μετ’ ⸀αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤρξατο ἐκθαμβεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν,
Orthodox ReadingAnd he took with him Peter, James and John and began to be distressed and troubledⓘ.
34
Greekκαὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου· μείνατε ὧδε καὶ γρηγορεῖτε.
Orthodox ReadingAnd he said to them: «My soul (nefesh, נֶפֶשׁ: the whole person, not a soul detached from the body) is sorrowful unto deathⓘ. Stay here and keep watchⓘ».
35
Greekκαὶ ⸂προελθὼν μικρὸν ἔπιπτεν⸃ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ προσηύχετο ἵνα εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν παρέλθῃ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα,
Orthodox ReadingAnd, having gone forward a little, he was falling to the groundⓘ in prostration upon his face (nefilat appayim, the supplicatory posture of intense prayer) and prayed that, if it were possible, that hourⓘ might pass away from him.
362
Greekκαὶ ἔλεγεν· Αββα ὁ πατήρ, πάντα δυνατά σοι· παρένεγκε τὸ ποτήριον ⸂τοῦτο ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ⸃· ἀλλ’ οὐ τί ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλὰ τί σύ.
Orthodox ReadingAnd he said: «Abba (Abbâ, אַבָּא: «father», the Aramaic preserved — the intimate, filial invocation), Father! All things are possible to you: take away from me this cupⓘ, this kos ha-za'am (the cup of prophetic wrath)! Yet not what I will, but what you will».
37
Greekκαὶ ἔρχεται καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας, καὶ λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ· Σίμων, καθεύδεις; οὐκ ἴσχυσας μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι;
Orthodox ReadingAnd he came, found them sleeping and said to Peter: «Simonⓘ, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for a single hour?
38
Greekγρηγορεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ ⸀ἔλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν· τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής.
Orthodox ReadingKeep watch and pray that you may not enter into temptationⓘ. The spirit (ruach, רוּחַ) is willing, but the flesh (basar, בָּשָׂר) is weak: the tension within the whole human being, not a Platonic soul/body dualism».
39
Greekκαὶ πάλιν ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπών.
Orthodox ReadingAnd again, having withdrawn, he prayed saying the same words.
40
Greekκαὶ ⸂πάλιν ἐλθὼν εὗρεν αὐτοὺς⸃ καθεύδοντας, ἦσαν γὰρ ⸂αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ⸃ ⸀καταβαρυνόμενοι, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν τί ⸂ἀποκριθῶσιν αὐτῷ⸃.
Orthodox ReadingAnd he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes had grown heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.
41
Greekκαὶ ἔρχεται τὸ τρίτον καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Καθεύδετε ⸀τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε· ἀπέχει· ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα, ἰδοὺ παραδίδοται ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν.
Orthodox ReadingAnd he came the third time and said to them: «Sleep on now and take your rest! Enough!ⓘ The hour has come: behold, the Son of Man (Bar Enash, בַּר אֱנָשׁ, Dan 7:13 — the Mashiach, the awaited Anointed One) is delivered into the hands of sinnersⓘ.
42
Greekἐγείρεσθε ἄγωμεν· ἰδοὺ ὁ παραδιδούς με ἤγγικεν.
Orthodox ReadingRise, let us go! Behold, the one who betrays me is near».
43
GreekΚαὶ ⸀εὐθὺς ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος παραγίνεται ⸀Ἰούδας ⸀εἷς τῶν δώδεκα καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ⸀ὄχλος μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν γραμματέων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων.
Orthodox ReadingAnd immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas arrived, one of the Twelve (the shelichim, the envoys of the master), and with him a crowd armed with ḥerev (swords) and clubs — not the am ha-aretz (the unobservant common folk), but a detachment sent by the kohanim of the temple leadership (the archiereis, the chief priests), by the soferim (the scribes) and by the zeqenim (the elders): sent by the authorities of the Temple, not «the Jews» as a whole.
441
Greekδεδώκει δὲ ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν σύσσημον αὐτοῖς λέγων· Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτὸν καὶ ⸀ἀπάγετε ἀσφαλῶς.
Orthodox ReadingThe betrayer had given them an agreed signⓘ, saying: «The one I shall kiss is he; arrest him and lead him away under close guard».
45
Greekκαὶ ἐλθὼν ⸀εὐθὺς προσελθὼν αὐτῷ λέγει· ⸀Ῥαββί, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
Orthodox ReadingAnd as soon as he arrived, he approached him and said: «Rabbi (rav, רַבִּי, «my master» — the title of the master, on the lips of the betrayer)!», and he kissed him ferventlyⓘ.
46
Greekοἱ δὲ ἐπέβαλαν ⸂τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῷ⸃ καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.
Orthodox ReadingThey laid hands on him and arrested him.
47
Greekεἷς δέ ⸀τις τῶν παρεστηκότων σπασάμενος τὴν μάχαιραν ἔπαισεν τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως καὶ ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ⸀ὠτάριον.
Orthodox ReadingBut one of those present, having drawn his ḥerev (the sword), struck the servant of the kohanim of the leadership (the archiereis, the high priest) and cut off his ear.
48
Greekκαὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν με;
Orthodox ReadingAnd Jesus, in response, said to them: «As against a biryon (an armed rebel, a zealot insurgent, not a «thief» nor a common «brigand») have you come out to seize me with swords (ḥerev) and clubs?
49
Greekκαθ’ ἡμέραν ἤμην πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με· ἀλλ’ ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί.
Orthodox ReadingEvery day I was among you in the Temple (bet ha-miqdash, the sanctuary of Jerusalem) teaching, before the very eyes of the same soferim (the scribes) and zeqenim (the elders), in the midst of the pilgrims gone up for the feast of Pesach and of the unleavened bread, where the kohanim (the priests) officiated the korban Pesach (the Passover sacrifice), and you did not arrest me. But it is so that the Scriptures may be fulfilledⓘ!».
50
Greekκαὶ ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ⸂ἔφυγον πάντες⸃.
Orthodox ReadingAnd, having abandoned him, they all fledⓘ.
51
GreekΚαὶ ⸂νεανίσκος τις⸃ ⸀συνηκολούθει αὐτῷ περιβεβλημένος σινδόνα ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ, καὶ κρατοῦσιν ⸀αὐτόν,
Orthodox ReadingAnd a young manⓘ was following him, wrapped in a linen clothⓘ over his naked body, and they seize him;
52
Greekὁ δὲ καταλιπὼν τὴν σινδόνα γυμνὸς ⸀ἔφυγεν.
Orthodox Readingbut he, having let the linen cloth fall, fled away naked.
