11for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;

11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

11For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.

12for she having put this ointment on my body--for my burial she did <FI>it<Fi> .

12For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

12For she in pouring this ointment on my body hath done it for my burial.

44And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

44And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.

45then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners.

45Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

47And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

47And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

47As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.

48And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, `Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;'

48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

48And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast.

49and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, `Hail, Rabbi,' and kissed him;

49And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

49And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.

50and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou present?' Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and took hold on him.

50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

50And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and held him.

51And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.

51And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

52Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

52Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

53Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

53Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?

54how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?'

54How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

54How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?

55In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold on me;

55In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

55In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out, as it were to a robber, with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple: and you laid not hands on me.

56but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

56But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

56Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples, all leaving him, fled.

57And those laying hold on Jesus led <FI>him<Fi> away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

57And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

57But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.

58and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

58But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.

58And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest, And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end.

59And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

59Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

59And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death.

60and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near,

60and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

60And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses:

61said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.'

61and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

61And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and after three days to rebuild it.

62And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee?

62And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

62And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?

63and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ--the Son of God.'

63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.

64Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.'

64Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

64Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, --`He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

65Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

65Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy.

66what think ye?' and they answering said, `He is worthy of death.'

66what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

66What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.

67Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

67Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,

67Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands,

68saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

68saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

68Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee?

69And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

69Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan.

69But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.

70And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.'

70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

70But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.

71And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'

71And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

71And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

72and again did he deny with an oath--`I have not known the man.'

72And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

72And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man.

73And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'

73And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.

73And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee.

74Then began he to anathematise, and to swear--`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

74Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

74Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him--`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

75And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

75And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.
