Matthew 27:1-10 Early in the morning, all the head cohanim (priests) and elders met to plan how to bring about Yeshua’s death. 2 Then they put him in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor. 3 When Y’hudah (Judas), who had betrayed him, saw that Yeshua had been condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the head cohanim and elders, 4 saying, “I sinned in betraying an innocent man to death.” “What is that to us?” they

Matthew 26:69-75 69 Kefa (Peter) was sitting outside in the courtyard when a servant girl came up to him. “You too were with Yeshua from the Galil,” she said. 70 But he denied it in front of everyone — “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” 71 He went out onto the porch, and another girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Yeshua of Natzeret.” 72 Again he denied it, swearing, “I don’t know the man!” 73 After a little while, the bystanders approached Ke

Matthew 26:57-68 57 Those who had seized Yeshua led him off to Kayafa (Ciaphis) the cohen hagadol (high priest), where the Torah-teachers and elders were assembled. 58 Kefa (Peter) followed him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the cohen hagadol; then he went inside and sat down with the guards to see what the outcome would be. 59 The head cohanim and the whole Sanhedrin looked for some false evidence against Yeshua, so that they might put him to death. 60 But they did

Matthew 26:55-56 55 Then Yeshua addressed the crowd: “So you came out to take me with swords and clubs, the way you would the leader of a rebellion? Every day I sat in the Temple court, teaching; and you didn’t seize me then. 56 But all this has happened so that what the prophets wrote may be fulfilled.” Then the talmidim all deserted him and ran away. If ever Jesus was going to feel alone, this is the time. All the disciples deserted Him and ran away. The comforting factor f

Matthew 26:51-54 51 At that, one of the men with Yeshua reached for his sword, drew it out and struck at the servant of the cohen hagadol (high priest), cutting off his ear. 52 Yeshua said to him, “Put your sword back where it belongs, for everyone who uses the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don’t you know that I can ask my Father, and he will instantly provide more than a dozen armies of angels to help me? 54 But if I did that, how could the passages in the Tanakh (Bible) b

Matthew 26:36-41 36 Then Yeshua went with his talmidim (dsiciples/students) to a place called Gat-Sh’manim (Gethsemane) and said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took with him Kefa (Peter) and Zavdai’s (Zebedee) two sons. Grief and anguish came over him, 38 and he said to them, “My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake with me.” 39 Going on a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, “My Father, if possible,

Matthew 26:30-35 30 After singing the Hallel (Psalms of Praise sung during Passover), they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Yeshua then said to them, “Tonight you will all lose faith in me, as the Tanakh (Bible) says,‘I will strike the shepherd dead, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you into the Galil.” 33 “I will never lose faith in you,” Kefa answered, “even if everyone else does.” 34 Yeshua said to him, “

Matthew 26:26-29 26 While they were eating, Yeshua took a piece of matzah, made the b’rakhah (blessing), broke it, gave it to the talmidim (disciples/students) and said, “Take! Eat! This is my body!” 27 Also he took a cup of wine, made the b’rakhah, and gave it to them, saying, “All of you, drink from it! 28 For this is my blood, which ratifies the New Covenant, my blood shed on behalf of many, so that they may have their sins forgiven. 29 I tell you, I will not drink this ‘f

Matthew 26:20-25 20 When evening came, Yeshua reclined with the twelve talmidim (students/disciples); 21 and as they were eating, he said, “Yes, I tell you that one of you is going to betray me.” 22 They became terribly upset and began asking him, one after the other, “Lord, you don’t mean me, do you?” 23 He answered, “The one who dips his matzah in the dish with me is the one who will betray me. 24 The Son of Man will die just as the Tanakh (Bible) says he will; but woe to t

Matthew 26:17-19 17 On the first day for matzah (Passover), the talmidim (disciples/students) came to Yeshua and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare your Seder?” 18 “Go into the city, to so-and-so,” he replied, “and tell him that the Rabbi says, ‘My time is near, my talmidim and I are celebrating Pesach at your house.’” 19 The talmidim did as Yeshua directed and prepared the Seder. Passover... One of the three feasts required for the Jews to go up to Jerusalem. Jesus knew
