Die Passion
Jesus washes the disciples' feet
During the meal before Passover, Jesus rises, takes off his outer garment, ties a towel around himself and begins to wash the disciples' feet. Peter protests at first but yields when Jesus says that whoever is not washed by him has no part with him. Afterwards, Jesus explains that he has given them an example: just as he, their Lord and Teacher, has served them, so they should serve one another.
Johannes 13,1-17
1Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the very end.
Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ πάσχα εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ⸀ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα ἵνα μεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἀγαπήσας τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰς τέλος ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς.
2During supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.
καὶ δείπνου ⸀γινομένου, τοῦ διαβόλου ἤδη βεβληκότος εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ⸂ἵνα παραδοῖ αὐτὸν Ἰούδας Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου⸃,
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,
⸀εἰδὼς ὅτι πάντα ⸀ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπάγει,
4rose from the meal, laid aside his outer garments, took a towel, and tied it around his waist.
ἐγείρεται ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου καὶ τίθησιν τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λαβὼν λέντιον διέζωσεν ἑαυτόν·
5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.
εἶτα βάλλει ὕδωρ εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα, καὶ ἤρξατο νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας τῶν μαθητῶν καὶ ἐκμάσσειν τῷ λεντίῳ ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
ἔρχεται οὖν πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον. ⸀λέγει ⸀αὐτῷ· Κύριε, σύ μου νίπτεις τοὺς πόδας;
7Jesus answered him, "Right now you do not understand what I am doing, but later you will understand."
ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ σὺ οὐκ οἶδας ἄρτι, γνώσῃ δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα.
8Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me."
λέγει αὐτῷ Πέτρος· Οὐ μὴ νίψῃς ⸂μου τοὺς πόδας⸃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. ἀπεκρίθη ⸂Ἰησοῦς αὐτῷ⸃· Ἐὰν μὴ νίψω σε, οὐκ ἔχεις μέρος μετʼ ἐμοῦ.
9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, then not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"
λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, μὴ τοὺς πόδας μου μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν κεφαλήν.
10Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean—though not all of you."
λέγει αὐτῷ ⸀ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὁ λελουμένος ⸂οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν⸃ ⸂εἰ μὴ⸃ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι, ἀλλʼ ἔστιν καθαρὸς ὅλος· καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε, ἀλλʼ οὐχὶ πάντες.
11For he knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean."
ᾔδει γὰρ τὸν παραδιδόντα αὐτόν· διὰ τοῦτο εἶπεν ⸀ὅτι Οὐχὶ πάντες καθαροί ἐστε.
12When he had washed their feet, he put on his garments again, took his place at the table, and said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?
Ὅτε οὖν ἔνιψεν τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ⸀καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ⸂καὶ ἀνέπεσεν⸃, πάλιν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Γινώσκετε τί πεποίηκα ὑμῖν;
13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.
ὑμεῖς φωνεῖτέ με Ὁ διδάσκαλος καὶ Ὁ κύριος, καὶ καλῶς λέγετε, εἰμὶ γάρ.
14So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
εἰ οὖν ἐγὼ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τοὺς πόδας ὁ κύριος καὶ ὁ διδάσκαλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ἀλλήλων νίπτειν τοὺς πόδας·
15I have given you an example, so that you also should do as I have done for you.
ὑπόδειγμα γὰρ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν ἵνα καθὼς ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε.
16Truly, truly, I tell you: no servant is greater than his master, and no messenger is greater than the one who sent him.
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἀπόστολος μείζων τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν.
17If you know these things, you are blessed when you do them.
εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε, μακάριοί ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά.
Matthäus 26,20-30
20When evening came, he reclined at the table with the twelve disciples.
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα ⸀μαθητῶν
21And while they were eating he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."
καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν εἶπεν· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με.
22Deeply grieved, they began to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?"
καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ ⸂εἷς ἕκαστος⸃· Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, κύριε;
23He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετʼ ἐμοῦ ⸂τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ⸃ οὗτός με παραδώσει·
24The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had never been born."
ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται· καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.
25Then Judas, the one who was betraying him, spoke up and said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "You have said it."
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν εἶπεν· Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ῥαββί; λέγει αὐτῷ· Σὺ εἶπας.
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
Ἐσθιόντων δὲ αὐτῶν λαβὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ⸀ἄρτον καὶ ⸀εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ⸂δοὺς τοῖς μαθηταῖς⸃ εἶπεν· Λάβετε φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.
27Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,
καὶ ⸀λαβὼν ποτήριον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες,
28for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά ⸀μου ⸀τῆς διαθήκης τὸ περὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυννόμενον εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν·
29I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
λέγω δὲ ⸀ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπʼ ἄρτι ἐκ τούτου τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω μεθʼ ὑμῶν καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
καὶ ὑμνήσαντες ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
Markus 14,17-26
17When evening came, he arrived with the Twelve.
Καὶ ὀψίας γενομένης ἔρχεται μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα.
18While they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me."
καὶ ἀνακειμένων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσθιόντων ⸂ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν⸃· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με ὁ ἐσθίων μετʼ ἐμοῦ.
19They began to grieve, and one after another they said to him, "Surely not I?"
⸀ἤρξαντο λυπεῖσθαι καὶ λέγειν αὐτῷ εἷς κατὰ εἷς· Μήτι ⸀ἐγώ;
20He said to them, "It is one of the Twelve, the one who dips bread into the bowl with me.
ὁ ⸀δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ⸀Εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ ἐμβαπτόμενος μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς ⸀τὸ τρύβλιον·
21The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to the man who betrays the Son of Man. It would be better for that man if he had never been born."
⸀ὅτι ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται· ⸀καλὸν αὐτῷ εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος.
22While they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body."
Καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν ⸀λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· ⸀Λάβετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου.
23Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
καὶ ⸀λαβὼν ποτήριον εὐχαριστήσας ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔπιον ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες.
24And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ αἷμά μου ⸀τῆς διαθήκης τὸ ⸂ἐκχυννόμενον ὑπὲρ πολλῶν⸃.
25Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ πίω ἐκ τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω καινὸν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ.
26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Καὶ ὑμνήσαντες ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.
Lukas 22,14-23
14When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
Καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἡ ὥρα, ἀνέπεσεν καὶ ⸀οἱ ἀπόστολοι σὺν αὐτῷ.
15And he said to them, "I have longed with all my heart to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· Ἐπιθυμίᾳ ἐπεθύμησα τοῦτο τὸ πάσχα φαγεῖν μεθʼ ὑμῶν πρὸ τοῦ με παθεῖν·
16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ⸀ὅτι οὐ μὴ φάγω ⸀αὐτὸ ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ.
17Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves.
καὶ δεξάμενος ποτήριον εὐχαριστήσας εἶπεν· Λάβετε τοῦτο καὶ διαμερίσατε ⸂εἰς ἑαυτούς⸃·
18For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ⸀οὐ μὴ πίω ἀπὸ τοῦ ⸂νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ⸃ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως ⸀οὗ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἔλθῃ.
19And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου ⸂[τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν διδόμενον· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
⸄καὶ τὸ ποτήριον ὡσαύτως⸅ μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι, λέγων· Τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐν τῷ αἵματί μου, τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐκχυννόμενον]⸃.
21But look — the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me at this table.
πλὴν ἰδοὺ ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ παραδιδόντος με μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης·
22For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed."
⸂ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς μὲν⸃ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ⸂κατὰ τὸ ὡρισμένον πορεύεται⸃, πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ διʼ οὗ παραδίδοται.
23And they began to question among themselves which of them it could possibly be who was going to do this.
καὶ αὐτοὶ ἤρξαντο συζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς τὸ τίς ἄρα εἴη ἐξ αὐτῶν ὁ τοῦτο μέλλων πράσσειν.
