Matthew:26:51-
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
one of them which were with Jesus stretched out (
5660 )
his hand ,
and drew (
5656 )
his sword ,
and struck (
5660 )
a servant of the high priests ,
and smote off (
5627 )
his ear .
*
Then said (
5719 )
Jesus unto him ,
Put up again (
5657 )
thy sword into his place :
for all they that take (
5631 )
the sword shall perish (
5698 )
with the sword .
*
Thinkest thou (
5719 )
that I cannot (
5736 )
now pray (
5658 )
to my Father ,
and he shall presently give (
5692 )
me more than twelve legions of angels ?
*
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled (
5686 ),
that thus it must (
5748 )
be (
5635 )?
*
In that same hour said (
5627 )
Jesus to the multitudes ,
Are ye come out (
5627 )
as against a thief with swords and staves for to take (
5629 )
me ?
I sat (
5711 )
daily with you teaching (
5723 )
in the temple ,
and ye laid no hold (
5656 )
on me .
*
But all this was done (
5754 ),
that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled (
5686 ).
Then all the disciples forsook (
5631 )
him ,
and fled (
5627 ).
*
And they that had laid hold (
5660 )
on Jesus led him away (
5627 )
to Caiaphas the high priest ,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled (
5681 ).
*
But Peter followed (
5707 )
him afar off unto the high priests palace ,
and went (
5631 )
in ,
and sat (
5711 )
with the servants ,
to see (
5629 )
the end .
*
Now the chief priests ,
and elders ,
and all the council ,
sought (
5707 )
false witness against Jesus ,
to put him to death (
5661 );
*
But found (
5627 )
none :
yea ,
though many false witnesses came (
5631 ),
yet found they (
5627 )
none .
At the last came (
5631 )
two false witnesses ,
*
And said (
5627 ),
This fellow said (
5713 ),
I am able (
5736 )
to destroy (
5658 )
the temple of God ,
and to build (
5658 )
it in three days .
*
And the high priest arose (
5631 ),
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Answerest thou (
5736 )
nothing ?
what is it which these witness against (
5719 )
thee ?
*
But Jesus held his peace (
5707 ).
And the high priest answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
I adjure (
5719 )
thee by the living (
5723 )
God ,
that thou tell (
5632 )
us whether thou be (
5748 )
the Christ ,
the Son of God .
*
Jesus saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Thou hast said (
5627 ):
nevertheless I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Hereafter shall ye see (
5695 )
the Son of man sitting (
5740 )
on the right hand of power ,
and coming (
5740 )
in the clouds of heaven .
*
Then the high priest rent (
5656 )
his clothes ,
saying (
5723 ),
He hath spoken blasphemy (
5656 );
what further need have we (
5719 )
of witnesses ?
behold ,
now ye have heard (
5656 )
his blasphemy .
*
What think (
5719 )
ye ?
They answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
He is (
5748 )
guilty of death .
*
Then did they spit (
5656 )
in his face ,
and buffeted (
5656 )
him ;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands (
5656 ),
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Prophesy (
5657 )
unto us ,
thou Christ ,
Who is he (
5748 )
that smote (
5660 )
thee ?
*
Now Peter sat (
5711 )
without in the palace :
and a damsel came (
5627 )
unto him ,
saying (
5723 ),
Thou also wast (
5713 )
with Jesus of Galilee .
*
But he denied (
5662 )
before them all ,
saying (
5723 ),
I know (
5758 )
not what thou sayest (
5719 ).
*
And when he was gone out (
5631 )
into the porch ,
another maid saw (
5627 )
him ,
and said (
5719 )
unto them that were there ,
This fellow was (
5713 )
also with Jesus of Nazareth .
*
And again he denied (
5662 )
with an oath ,
I do not know (
5758 )
the man .
*
And after a while came unto him they (
5631 )
that stood by (
5761 ),
and said (
5627 )
to Peter ,
Surely thou also art (
5748 )
one of them ;
for thy speech bewrayeth thee (
5719 ).
*
Then began he (
5662 )
to curse (
5721 )
and to swear (
5721 ),
saying ,
I know (
5758 )
not the man .
And immediately the cock crew (
5656 ).
*
And Peter remembered (
5681 )
the word of Jesus ,
which said (
5761 )
unto him ,
Before the cock crow (
5658 ),
thou shalt deny (
5695 )
me thrice .
And he went out ,
and (
5631 )
wept (
5656 )
bitterly .
