| 16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God." | 16for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." |
| 17After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. | 17And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; |

| 26But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules 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 at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is 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. |
| 28You are those who have stood by me in my trials. | 28"You are those who have stood by Me in My trials; |

| 35Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered. | 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 if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your 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. |

| 49When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?" | 49When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" |
| 50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. | 50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. |
| 51But Jesus answered, "No more 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 for him, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? | 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? |
| 53Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour--when darkness reigns." | 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 seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed 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. |
| 55And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. | 55After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them. |
| 56A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him." | 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 he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said. | 57But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." |
| 58A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." "Man, I am not!" Peter replied. | 58A little later, another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" |
| 59About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he 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." |
| 60Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. | 60But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. |
| 61The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown 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. |
| 63The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. | 63Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him, |
| 64They blindfolded him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit you?" | 64and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?" |
| 65And they said many other insulting things to him. | 65And they were saying many other things against Him, blaspheming. |

| 67"If you are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me, | 67"If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe; |
| 68and if I asked you, you would 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 mighty God." | 69"But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD." |
| 70They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "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 any more testimony? We have heard it 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." |
