¹ Asimismo ésta será la ley de la expiación de la culpa; será cosa santísima.

² En el lugar donde degollaren el holocausto, degollarán la expiación de la culpa; y rociará su sangre en derredor sobre el altar.

³ Y de ella ofrecerá todo su sebo, la cola, y el sebo que cubre los intestinos.

⁴ Y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y el que está sobre los ijares; y con los riñones quitará el redaño de sobre el hígado.

⁵ Y el sacerdote hará de ello perfume sobre el altar en ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR; y ésta será expiación de la culpa.

⁶ Todo varón de entre los sacerdotes la comerá; será comida en el lugar santo; porque es cosa santísima.

⁷ Como la expiación por el pecado, así será la expiación de la culpa; una misma ley tendrán; será del sacerdote que habrá hecho la reconciliación con ella.

⁸ Y el sacerdote que ofreciere holocausto de alguno, el cuero del holocausto que ofreciere, será del sacerdote.

⁹ Asimismo todo presente que se cociere en horno, y todo el que fuere aderezado en sartén, o en cazuela, será del sacerdote que lo ofreciere.

¹⁰ Y todo presente amasado con aceite, y seco, será de todos los hijos de Aarón, tanto al uno como al otro.

¹¹ Y ésta será la ley del sacrificio de la paz, que se ofrecerá al SEÑOR:

¹² Si se ofreciere en hacimiento de gracias, ofrecerá por sacrificio de hacimiento de gracias tortas sin levadura amasadas con aceite, y hojaldres sin levadura untadas con aceite, y flor de harina frita en tortas amasadas con aceite.

¹³ Con tortas de pan leudo ofrecerá su ofrenda en el sacrificio de hacimiento de gracias de sus paz.

¹⁴ Y de toda la ofrenda presentará una parte por ofrenda elevada al SEÑOR, y será del sacerdote que rociare la sangre de los sacrificios de paz.

¹⁵ Mas la carne de su sacrificio de la paz para hacimiento de gracias, se comerá en el día que fuere ofrecida; no dejarán de ella nada para otro día.

¹⁶ Mas si el sacrificio de su ofrenda fuere voto, o voluntario, el día que ofreciere su sacrificio será comido; y lo que de él quedare, se comerá al día siguiente;

¹⁷ y lo que quedare para el tercer día de la carne del sacrificio, será quemado en el fuego.

¹⁸ Y si se comiere de la carne de su sacrificio de paz el tercer día, el que lo ofreciere no será acepto, ni le será imputado; abominación será, y la persona que de él comiere llevará su pecado.

¹⁹ Y la carne que tocare alguna cosa inmunda, no se comerá; al fuego será quemada; mas toda persona limpia comerá de esta carne.

²⁰ Y la persona que comiere la carne del sacrificio de paz, el cual es del SEÑOR, estando inmunda, aquella persona será cortada de su pueblo.

²¹ Además, la persona que tocare alguna cosa inmunda, en inmundicia de hombre, o en animal inmundo, o en cualquiera abominación inmunda, y comiere de la carne del sacrificio de la paz, el cual es del SEÑOR, aquella persona será cortada de su pueblo.

²² Habló aún el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

²³ Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Ningún sebo de buey, ni de cordero, ni de cabra, comeréis.

²⁴ El sebo de animal mortecino, y el sebo del que fue arrebatado de fieras , se aparejará para cualquiera otro uso, mas no lo comeréis.

²⁵ Porque cualquiera que comiere sebo de animal, del cual se ofrece al SEÑOR ofrenda encendida, la persona que lo comiere, será cortada de su pueblo.

²⁶ Además, ninguna sangre comeréis en todas vuestras habitaciones, así de aves como de bestias.

²⁷ Cualquiera persona que comiere alguna sangre, la tal persona será cortada de su pueblo.

²⁸ Habló más el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

²⁹ Habla a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: El que ofreciere su sacrificio de paz al SEÑOR, traerá su ofrenda del sacrificio de su paz al SEÑOR;

³⁰ sus manos traerán las ofrendas que se han de quemar al SEÑOR; traerá el sebo con el pecho; el pecho para mecerlo, como sacrificio de mecedura delante del SEÑOR;

³¹ y del sebo hará perfume el sacerdote en el altar, mas el pecho será de Aarón y de sus hijos.

³² Y daréis al sacerdote para ser elevada en ofrenda, la espaldilla derecha de los sacrificios de vuestra paz.

³³ El que de los hijos de Aarón ofreciere la sangre de la paz, y el sebo, de él será en porción la espaldilla derecha;

³⁴ porque he tomado de los hijos de Israel, de sus sacrificios de paz, el pecho de la mecedura, y la espaldilla de la apartadura, y lo he dado a Aarón el sacerdote y a sus hijos, por estatuto perpetuo de los hijos de Israel.

³⁵ Esta es la unción de Aarón y la unción de sus hijos, de las ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR, desde el día en que él los allegó para ser sacerdotes del SEÑOR;

³⁶ las cuales porciones mandó El SEÑOR que les diesen, desde el día en que él los ungió de entre los hijos de Israel, por estatuto perpetuo por sus generaciones.

³⁷ Esta es la ley del holocausto, del presente, de la expiación por el pecado, y de la expiación de la culpa, y de las consagraciones, y del sacrificio de la paz;

³⁸ la cual mandó el SEÑOR a Moisés, en el monte de Sinaí, el día que mandó a los hijos de Israel que ofreciesen sus ofrendas al SEÑOR en el desierto de Sinaí.

¹ It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

² For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."

³ While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard--very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

⁴ But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?

⁵ For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.

⁶ But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁹ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

¹⁰ Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

¹¹ They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

¹² On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?"

¹³ He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

¹⁴ and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, Where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'

¹⁵ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there."

¹⁶ His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁷ When it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁸ As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me--he who eats with me."

¹⁹ They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"

²⁰ He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²¹ For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

²² As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body."

²³ He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

²⁴ He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵ Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."

²⁶ When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁷ 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 will be scattered.'

²⁸ However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

²⁹ But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

³⁰ Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

³¹ But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.

³² They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

³³ He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

³⁴ He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."

³⁵ He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁶ He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

³⁷ He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

³⁹ Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

⁴¹ He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴² Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."

⁴³ Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came--and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

⁴⁴ Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

⁴⁵ When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him.

⁴⁶ They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

⁵⁰ They all left him, and fled.

⁵¹ A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

⁵² but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³ They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

⁵⁴ Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

⁵⁶ For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other.

⁵⁷ Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

⁵⁸ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

⁵⁹ Even so, their testimony did not agree.

⁶⁰ The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"

⁶¹ But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

⁶² Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

⁶³ The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁵ Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁶ As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"

⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

⁶⁹ The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."

⁷⁰ But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

⁷¹ But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man of whom you speak!"

⁷² The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
