| 26Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves. | 26"But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. |
| 27For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. | 27"For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. |

They replied, "Nothing." | 35And He said to them, "When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing." |
| 36He said to them, "But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler's bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. | 36And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. |
| 37For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was counted with the transgressors.'

| 45When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted from grief. | 45When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow, |
| 46So he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!" | 46and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation." |
| 47While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up to Jesus to kiss him. | 47While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him. |

| 50Then one of them struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his right ear. | 50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. |
| 51But Jesus said, "Enough of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him. | 51But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him. |
| 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come out to get him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs like you would against an outlaw? | 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? |
| 53Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!" | 53"While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours." |
| 54Then they arrested Jesus, led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance. | 54Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance. |
| 55When they had made a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. | 55After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. |
| 56Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, "This man was with him too!" | 56And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too." |
| 57But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know him!" | 57But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." |
| 58Then a little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" | 58A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" |
| 59And after about an hour still another insisted, "Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean." | 59After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too." |
| 60But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. | 60But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. |
| 61Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times." | 61The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times." |
| 62And he went outside and wept bitterly. | 62And he went out and wept bitterly. |
| 63Now the men who were holding Jesus under guard began to mock him and beat him. | 63Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him, |
| 64They blindfolded him and asked him repeatedly, "Prophesy! Who hit you?" | 64and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?" |
| 65They also said many other things against him, reviling him. | 65And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming. |
| 66When day came, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both the chief priests and the experts in the law. Then they led Jesus away to their council | 66When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying, |
| 67and said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe, | 67"If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe; |
| 68and if I ask you, you will not answer. | 68and if I ask a question, you will not answer. |
| 69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." | 69"But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD." |
| 70So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" He answered them, "You say that I am." | 70And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am." |
| 71Then they said, "Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!" | 71Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth." |
