Les chefs complotent contre Jésus
1 It happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.5 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."Une femme met du parfum sur la tête de Jésus
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.11 For you always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me.12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."Judas veut livrer Jésus aux chefs des prêtres
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,15 and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.Jésus prend le repas de la Pâque avec ses disciples
17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"18 He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.21 As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It isn't me, is it, Lord?"23 He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.24 The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."La sainte cène
26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.Jésus annonce que Pierre le reniera
31 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."33 But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."34 Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."35 Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.Jésus prie à Gethsémané
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.38 Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."40 He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?41 Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."42 Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.45 Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.46 Arise, let's be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."L'arrestation de Jésus
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priest and elders of the people.48 Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."49 Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him.50 Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.53 Or do you think that I couldn't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me.56 But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.Jésus devant le Conseil supérieur
57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.58 But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,61 and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"62 The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"63 But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."64 Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.66 What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death!"67 Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,68 saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?"Pierre renie Jésus
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!"70 But he denied it before them all, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about."71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."72 Again he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man."73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."74 Then he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!" Immediately the rooster crowed.75 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly. -
Les chefs complotent contre Jésus
1 Quand Jésus eut fini de donner toutes ces instructions, il dit à ses disciples : —2 Vous savez que la fête de la Pâque aura lieu dans deux jours. C’est alors que le Fils de l’homme sera livré pour être crucifié.3 À cette même heure, les chefs des prêtres et les anciens du peuple se rassemblèrent dans la cour du grand-prêtre Caïphe,4 et ils prirent en commun la décision de s’emparer de Jésus par ruse pour le faire mourir. —5 Il ne faut, en tout cas, rien faire pendant la fête, disaient-ils, sinon nous risquons de provoquer un soulèvement parmi le peuple.Une femme met du parfum sur la tête de Jésus
6 Jésus était allé à Béthanie, il se trouvait dans la maison de Simon, (l’ancien) lépreux.7 Une femme s’approcha de lui, portant un flacon d’albâtre rempli d’un parfum de myrrhe de grande valeur. Pendant que Jésus était à table, elle versa ce parfum sur sa tête.8 En voyant cela, les disciples manifestèrent leur indignation : — Quel gaspillage ! Pourquoi perdre ainsi tout ce parfum ?9 Est-ce qu’on n’aurait pas pu le vendre pour un bon prix et distribuer l’argent aux pauvres ?10 Mais Jésus, qui les avait entendus, leur dit : — Pourquoi faites-vous de la peine à cette femme ? Ce qu’elle vient d’accomplir pour moi est vraiment une belle action.11 Des pauvres, vous en aurez toujours auprès de vous, mais moi, vous ne m’aurez pas toujours.12 Si elle a répandu cette myrrhe sur mon corps, c’est en prévision de ma mise au tombeau.13 Vraiment, je vous l’assure : partout, dans le monde entier, où cette Bonne Nouvelle sera annoncée, on racontera aussi, en souvenir d’elle, ce qu’elle vient de faire.Judas veut livrer Jésus aux chefs des prêtres
14 Ce fut alors que l’un des douze, celui qui s’appelait Judas de Kérioth, se rendit auprès des chefs des prêtres15 pour leur demander : — Si je me charge de vous le livrer (discrètement), quelle somme me donnerez-vous ? Ils lui proposèrent trente pièces d’argent et les lui versèrent sur-le-champ.16 À partir de ce moment-là, il guettait une occasion favorable pour livrer Jésus entre leurs mains.Jésus prend le repas de la Pâque avec ses disciples
17 Le premier jour de la semaine de fête où l’on ne mange que du pain sans levain, les disciples vinrent trouver Jésus pour lui demander : — Où veux-tu que nous fassions les préparatifs pour le repas pascal ?18 Il leur répondit : — Allez en ville, chez un tel, et parlez-lui ainsi : « Le Maître te fait dire : “Mon heure est arrivée. C’est chez toi que je célébrerai la Pâque avec mes disciples” ».19 Les disciples se conformèrent aux ordres de Jésus et préparèrent tout ce qu’il fallait pour le repas de la Pâque.20 Le soir venu, Jésus se mit à table avec les douze et,21 au cours du repas, il dit : — Oui, vraiment, je vous l’assure : l’un de vous me trahira.22 Les disciples, consternés et profondément affligés, vinrent, l’un après l’autre, lui demander : — Seigneur, ce n’est pourtant pas moi, n’est-ce pas ?23 En réponse, il leur dit : — Celui qui a trempé son pain dans le plat avec moi, c’est lui qui me trahira.24 Le Fils de l’homme, il est vrai, suit le chemin qui lui a été tracé par les Écritures, il s’en va (vers la mort). Mais malheur à celui par qui le Fils de l’homme va être trahi ! Il aurait mieux valu, pour cet homme-là, n’être jamais né.25 À son tour, Judas qui le trahissait lui demanda : — Maître, ce n’est pourtant pas moi, n’est-ce pas ? — Tu viens de le dire toi-même, lui répondit Jésus.La sainte cène
26 Au cours du repas, Jésus prit le pain, demanda à Dieu de le bénir, puis le partagea et le distribua à ses disciples en disant : — Prenez, mangez, c’est mon corps.27 Puis il prit une coupe et, après avoir remercié Dieu, il la leur donna en disant : — Buvez-en tous,28 car c’est mon sang, par lequel Dieu scelle l’alliance nouvelle. Il va être versé pour que les péchés de beaucoup d’hommes puissent être pardonnés.29 Je vous le déclare : à partir de maintenant, je ne goûterai plus de ce fruit de la vigne avant le jour où je boirai avec vous le vin nouveau dans le royaume de mon Père.30 Après cela, ils chantèrent les psaumes (traditionnels). puis ils se rendirent au mont des Oliviers.Jésus annonce que Pierre le reniera
31 Jésus leur dit alors : — Cette nuit même, vous allez tous être ébranlés dans votre foi en voyant ce qui va m’arriver. En effet, il est écrit : Je frapperai le berger à mort, et les brebis du troupeau s’enfuiront de tous côtés.32 Néanmoins, quand je serai ressuscité, j’irai vous attendre en Galilée.33 Pierre intervint et lui dit à part : — Même si tous les autres étaient ébranlés et succombaient à cause de ce qui t’arrivera, moi, jamais !34 Jésus reprit : — Vraiment, je te l’assure : cette nuit même, avant le chant du coq, tu m’auras déjà renié trois fois.35 Pierre réaffirma : — Même s’il me fallait mourir avec toi, jamais, non jamais je ne te renierai ! Et tous les disciples protestèrent pareillement (de leur fidélité).Jésus prie à Gethsémané
36 Là-dessus, Jésus parvint avec eux dans un domaine appelé Gethsémané. Il dit à ses disciples : — Asseyez-vous ici pendant que j’irai prier là-bas.37 Il prit avec lui Pierre et les deux fils de Zébédée. Il fut bientôt envahi d’une profonde tristesse, l’angoisse le saisit.38 Il dit alors à ses compagnons : — Mon âme est accablée de tristesse, d’une tristesse mortelle. Restez ici et veillez avec moi !39 Puis il s’éloigna de quelques pas, se jeta la face contre terre et pria : — Ô mon Père, si tu le veux, écarte de moi cette coupe de souffrances ! Toutefois, que les choses se passent, non pas comme moi je le veux, mais comme toi tu le veux.40 Ensuite, il retourna auprès des disciples et les trouva en train de dormir. Il dit à Pierre : — Quoi ! Aucun de vous n’a été capable de veiller une seule heure avec moi !41 Veillez et priez, pour que vous ne cédiez pas à la tentation. Certes, l’esprit est plein de bonne volonté, mais la nature humaine est faible et le corps a ses défaillances.42 Puis il s’éloigna de nouveau, pour la seconde fois, et reprit sa prière en disant : — Mon Père, s’il n’est pas possible que cette épreuve douloureuse me soit épargnée, que ta volonté soit faite.43 Il revint de nouveau vers ses disciples et les trouva encore endormis, car leurs paupières étaient si lourdes qu’ils n’arrivaient pas à garder les yeux ouverts.44 Il les laissa donc et s’éloigna de nouveau. Pour la troisième fois, il pria en répétant les mêmes paroles.45 Finalement, il rejoignit ses disciples et leur dit : — Vous dormez encore et vous vous reposez. Le moment est venu où le Fils de l’homme va être livré entre les mains des pécheurs.46 Allons, debout ! Celui qui me trahit est près d’ici.L'arrestation de Jésus
47 Il n’avait pas fini de parler quand Judas, l’un des douze, survint, suivi d’une bande nombreuse armée d’épées et de gourdins. C’était la troupe envoyée par les chefs des prêtres et les responsables du peuple juif.48 Le traître avait convenu avec eux du signal suivant : — Celui que j’embrasserai, c’est l’homme que vous cherchez, saisissez-vous de lui.49 Il se dirigea donc tout droit sur Jésus et l’aborda en lui disant : — Bonsoir, Maître ! Et il l’embrassa avec effusion. —50 Mon ami, lui fit Jésus, c’est pour cela que tu es venu ici ? Fais ta besogne ! Alors, les autres s’avancèrent et, mettant la main sur Jésus, ils se saisirent de lui.51 À ce moment-là, l’un des compagnons de Jésus porta la main à son épée, la dégaina, en frappa le serviteur du grand-prêtre et lui coupa l’oreille.52 Jésus lui dit : — Remets ton épée à sa place, car tous ceux qui se serviront de l’épée mourront par l’épée.53 Penses-tu donc que, si je le voulais, il ne me serait pas possible de faire appel à mon Père ? À l’instant même, il enverrait plus de cent mille anges à mon secours.54 Mais alors, comment se réaliseraient les prédictions des Écritures qui annoncent que tout doit se passer ainsi ?55 Là-dessus, Jésus dit à la troupe : — Vous êtes sortis en force avec des épées et des gourdins pour vous emparer de moi. Me prenez-vous pour un bandit ou un brigand de grands chemins ? Chaque jour, j’étais assis parmi vous dans la cour du temple pour enseigner, et jamais vous n’avez levé le petit doigt contre moi !56 Mais tout cela devait arriver pour accomplir ce que les prophètes avaient écrit. Alors, tous les disciples l’abandonnèrent et prirent la fuite.Jésus devant le Conseil supérieur
57 Ceux qui avaient arrêté Jésus l’emmenèrent chez Caïphe, le grand-prêtre, où les interprètes de la loi et les responsables du peuple s’étaient déjà rassemblés et attendaient.58 Pierre, pourtant, le suivit à distance jusqu’au palais du grand-prêtre. Il pénétra même dans la cour intérieure et s’assit au milieu des gardes de service pour voir comment tout cela finirait.59 Les chefs des prêtres et le Grand Conseil au complet cherchaient à établir, par de faux témoignages, quelque chef d’accusation contre Jésus afin de pouvoir le condamner à mort.60 Mais bien qu’un bon nombre de faux témoins se fussent présentés, ils ne parvenaient pas à trouver quelque chose de valable. Finalement, tout de même, il en survint deux61 qui déclarèrent : — Cet homme a dit : « Je peux démolir le temple de Dieu et le rebâtir en trois jours ».62 Alors, le grand-prêtre se leva et demanda à Jésus : — Tu n’as rien à répondre à ce que ces gens viennent de déposer contre toi ?63 Mais Jésus garda le silence. Alors, le grand-prêtre reprit en disant : — Je t’ordonne, par le Dieu vivant, de nous répondre sous la foi du serment : es-tu le Messie, le Fils du Dieu ?64 Jésus lui répondit : — Oui, c’est comme tu l’as dit. De plus, je vous le déclare, à vous tous qui êtes ici : à partir de maintenant, vous verrez le Fils de l’homme siégeant à la droite du Dieu tout-puissant et, un jour, vous le verrez revenir en gloire sur les nuées du ciel.65 Alors, le grand-prêtre lacéra ses vêtements (en signe de consternation) et s’écria : — Il vient de prononcer des paroles blasphématoires ! Qu’avons-nous encore besoin de témoins ? Vous venez vous-mêmes d’entendre le blasphème.66 Quel est votre verdict ? — Coupable, répondirent-ils, il mérite la mort.67 À partir de ce moment, ils lui crachèrent au visage et le giflèrent.68 D’autres lui donnèrent des coups de bâton en disant : — Eh ! Messie, fais le prophète ! Dis-nous comment s’appelle celui qui vient de te frapper !Pierre renie Jésus
69 Pendant ce temps, Pierre restait assis dehors, dans la cour intérieure. Une jeune servante s’approcha de lui et dit : — Toi aussi, tu étais toujours avec Jésus le Galiléen.70 Mais Pierre le nia et protesta devant tout le monde : — Je ne vois pas ce que tu veux dire.71 Comme il se disposait à franchir le porche pour sortir, une autre servante l’aperçut et dit aux gens qui étaient là : — En voilà un qui était aussi avec ce Jésus de Nazareth. —72 Il le nia de nouveau en protestant avec serment : — Je ne connais même pas cet homme-là !73 Après un petit moment, ceux qui se tenaient dans la cour s’approchèrent de Pierre et lui dirent : — À coup sûr, toi aussi, tu fais partie de cette bande ! On le remarque rien qu’à ton accent !74 Alors, Pierre s’emporta et se mit à lancer des imprécations : — Que Dieu me maudisse si je mens : je vous jure que je ne connais pas cet homme-là. Mais au même instant, un coq chanta.75 Et tout à coup, Pierre se rappela la prédiction que Jésus lui avait faite : « Avant le chant du coq, tu m’auras déjà renié trois fois ». Alors, il sortit en pleurant amèrement. -

Matthieu dit ici : comme ils mangeaient, c'est-à-dire pendant le repas de la Pâque et avant l'institution de la cène. (verset 26) Selon Luc (Luc 22.21) cet incident aurait eu lieu après la célébration de la communion, à laquelle Judas aurait ainsi pris part. Tout porte à croire que la relation de Matthieu et de Marc est la plus exacte. On ne conçoit pas que Jésus pût, après le moment intime et solennel de la cène, soulever ce triste incident qui porta le trouble dans tous les cœurs, (verset 22) ni qu'il eût admis Judas à prendre part à la cène, au moment où il lui reprochait son crime.
D'ailleurs cette révélation de la trahison de Judas est évidemment identique à celle que rapporte Jean (Jean 13.21 et suivants) avec quelques circonstances différentes ; or, cet évangéliste dit positivement (Jean 13.27) que le traître sortit immédiatement après. Donc il n'était plus présent au moment de la cène. (Voir Luc 22.21, note.)
