¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

² Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

³ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁴ And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

⁵ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

⁸ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

⁹ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

¹² For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

¹⁵ And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

²⁰ Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

²¹ And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

²³ And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²⁴ The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁵ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

²⁸ For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

³⁰ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵ Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

³⁸ Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

³⁹ And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴² He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto 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 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

⁵¹ And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵⁵ In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

⁵⁷ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

⁶⁰ But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹ And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶² And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁶ What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁸ Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

⁶⁹ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

⁷³ And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

¹ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 when ^G3753 Jesus ^G2424 had finished ^G5055 all ^G3956 these ^G5128 sayings, ^G3056 he said ^G2036 unto his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101

² Ye know ^G1492 that ^G3754 after ^G3326 two ^G1417 days ^G2250 is ^G1096 the feast of the passover, ^G3957 and ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is betrayed ^G3860 to ^G1519 be crucified. ^G4717

³ Then ^G5119 assembled together ^G4863 the chief priests, ^G749 and ^G2532 the scribes, ^G1122 and ^G2532 the elders ^G4245 of the people, ^G2992 unto ^G1519 the palace ^G833 of the high priest, ^G749 who ^G3588 was called ^G3004 Caiaphas, ^G2533

⁴ And ^G2532 consulted ^G4823 that ^G2443 they might take ^G2902 Jesus ^G2424 by subtilty, ^G1388 and ^G2532 kill ^G615 him.

⁵ But ^G1161 they said, ^G3004 Not ^G3361 on ^G1722 the feast ^G1859 day, lest ^G3363 there be ^G1096 an uproar ^G2351 among ^G1722 the people. ^G2992

⁶ Now ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 was ^G1096 in ^G1722 Bethany, ^G963 in ^G1722 the house ^G3614 of Simon ^G4613 the leper, ^G3015

⁷ There came ^G4334 unto him ^G846 a woman ^G1135 having ^G2192 an alabaster box ^G211 of very precious ^G927 ointment, ^G3464 and ^G2532 poured it ^G2708 on ^G1909 his ^G846 head, ^G2776 as he sat ^G345 at meat.

⁸ But ^G1161 when his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 saw ^G1492 it, they had indignation, ^G23 saying, ^G3004 To ^G1519 what purpose ^G5101 is this ^G3778 waste? ^G684

⁹ For ^G1063 this ^G5124 ointment ^G3464 might ^G1410 have been sold ^G4097 for much, ^G4183 and ^G2532 given ^G1325 to the poor. ^G4434

¹⁰ When ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 understood ^G1097 it, he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Why ^G5101 trouble ye ^{G2873 G3930} the woman? ^G1135 for ^G1063 she hath wrought ^G2038 a good ^G2570 work ^G2041 upon ^G1519 me. ^G1691

¹¹ For ^G1063 ye have ^G2192 the poor ^G4434 always ^G3842 with ^G3326 you; ^G1438 but ^G1161 me ^G1691 ye have ^G2192 not ^G3756 always. ^G3842

¹² For in that ^G1063 she ^{G3778 G846} hath poured ^G906 this ^G5124 ointment ^G3464 on ^G1909 my ^G3450 body, ^G4983 she did ^G4160 it for ^G4314 my ^G3165 burial. ^G1779

¹³ Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Wheresoever ^{G3699 G1437} this ^G5124 gospel ^G2098 shall be preached ^G2784 in ^G1722 the whole ^G3650 world, ^G2889 there shall also ^G2532 this, that ^G3739 this woman ^{G3778 G846} hath done, ^G4160 be told ^G2980 for ^G1519 a memorial ^G3422 of her. ^G846

¹⁴ Then ^G5119 one ^G1520 of the twelve, ^G1427 called ^G3004 Judas ^G2455 Iscariot, ^G2469 went ^G4198 unto ^G4314 the chief priests, ^G749

¹⁵ And said ^G2036 unto them, What ^G5101 will ye ^G2309 give ^G1325 me, ^G3427 and ^G2504 I will deliver ^G3860 him ^G846 unto you? ^G5213 And ^G1161 they covenanted ^G2476 with him ^G846 for thirty ^G5144 pieces of silver. ^G694

¹⁶ And ^G2532 from ^G575 that time ^G5119 he sought ^G2212 opportunity ^G2120 to ^G2443 betray ^G3860 him. ^G846

¹⁷ Now ^G1161 the first ^G4413 day of the feast of unleavened bread ^G106 the disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 to Jesus, ^G2424 saying ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Where ^G4226 wilt thou ^G2309 that we prepare ^G2090 for thee ^G4671 to eat ^G5315 the passover? ^G3957

¹⁸ And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 Go ^G5217 into ^G1519 the city ^G4172 to ^G4314 such a man, ^G1170 and ^G2532 say ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 The Master ^G1320 saith, ^G3004 My ^G3450 time ^G2540 is ^G2076 at hand; ^G1451 I will keep ^G4160 the passover ^G3957 at ^G4314 thy house ^G4571 with ^G3326 my ^G3450 disciples. ^G3101

¹⁹ And ^G2532 the disciples ^G3101 did ^G4160 as ^G5613 Jesus ^G2424 had appointed ^G4929 them; ^G846 and ^G2532 they made ready ^G2090 the passover. ^G3957

²⁰ Now ^G1161 when the even ^G3798 was come, ^G1096 he sat down ^G345 with ^G3326 the twelve. ^G1427

²¹ And ^G2532 as they ^G846 did eat, ^G2068 he said, ^G2036 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 that ^G3754 one ^G1520 of ^G1537 you ^G5216 shall betray ^G3860 me. ^G3165

²² And ^G2532 they were exceeding ^G4970 sorrowful, ^G3076 and began ^G756 every one ^G1538 of them ^G846 to say ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Lord, ^G2962 is ^G1510 it ^G3385 I? ^G1473

²³ And ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 He that dippeth ^G1686 his hand ^G5495 with ^G3326 me ^G1700 in ^G1722 the dish, ^G5165 the same ^G3778 shall betray ^G3860 me. ^G3165

^{24 G3303} The Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 goeth ^G5217 as ^G2531 it is written ^G1125 of ^G4012 him: ^G846 but ^G1161 woe ^G3759 unto that ^G1565 man ^G444 by ^G1223 whom ^G3739 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is betrayed! ^G3860 it had been ^G2258 good ^G2570 for that ^G1565 man ^G846 if ^G1487 he ^G444 had ^G1080 not ^G3756 been born. ^G1080

²⁵ Then ^G1161 Judas, ^G2455 which ^G3588 betrayed ^G3860 him, ^G846 answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 Master, ^G4461 is ^G1510 it ^G3385 I? ^G1473 He said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Thou ^G4771 hast said. ^G2036

²⁶ And ^G1161 as they ^G846 were eating, ^G2068 Jesus ^G2424 took ^G2983 bread, ^G740 and ^G2532 blessed ^G2127 it, and brake ^G2806 it, and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 it to the disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Take, ^G2983 eat; ^G5315 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 body. ^G4983

²⁷ And ^G2532 he took ^G2983 the cup, ^G4221 and ^G2532 gave thanks, ^G2168 and gave ^G1325 it to them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Drink ye ^G4095 all ^G3956 of ^G1537 it; ^G846

²⁸ For ^G1063 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 blood ^G129 of the new ^G2537 testament, ^G1242 which ^G3588 is shed ^G1632 for ^G4012 many ^G4183 for ^G1519 the remission ^G859 of sins. ^G266

²⁹ But ^G1161 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 I will ^G4095 not ^{G3754 G3364} drink ^G4095 henceforth ^{G575 G737} of ^G1537 this ^G5127 fruit ^G1081 of the vine, ^G288 until ^G2193 that ^G1565 day ^G2250 when ^G3752 I drink ^G4095 it ^G846 new ^G2537 with ^G3326 you ^G5216 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 Father's ^G3962 kingdom. ^G932

³⁰ And ^G2532 when they had sung an hymn, ^G5214 they went out ^G1831 into ^G1519 the mount ^G3735 of Olives. ^G1636

³¹ Then ^G5119 saith ^G3004 Jesus ^G2424 unto them, ^G846 All ^G3956 ye ^G5210 shall be offended ^G4624 because ^G1722 of me ^{G1722 G1698} this ^G5026 night: ^G3571 for ^G1063 it is written, ^G1125 I will smite ^G3960 the shepherd, ^G4166 and ^G2532 the sheep ^G4263 of the flock ^G4167 shall be scattered abroad. ^G1287

³² But ^G1161 after ^G3326 I ^G3165 am risen again, ^G1453 I will go before ^G4254 you ^G5209 into ^G1519 Galilee. ^G1056

³³ Peter ^G4074 answered ^G611 and ^G1161 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Though ^G1499 all ^G3956 men shall be offended ^G4624 because ^G1722 of thee, ^G4671 yet will I ^G1473 never ^G3763 be offended. ^G4624

³⁴ Jesus ^G2424 said ^G5346 unto him, ^G846 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto thee, ^G4671 That ^G3754 this ^{G1722 G5026} night, ^G3571 before ^G4250 the cock ^G220 crow, ^G5455 thou shalt deny ^G533 me ^G3165 thrice. ^G5151

³⁵ Peter ^G4074 said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Though ^G2579 I ^G3165 should ^G1163 die ^G599 with ^G4862 thee, ^G4671 yet ^G3364 will I ^G533 not ^G3364 deny ^G533 thee. ^G4571 Likewise ^G3668 also ^G2532 said ^G2036 all ^G3956 the disciples. ^G3101

³⁶ Then ^G5119 cometh ^G2064 Jesus ^G2424 with ^G3326 them ^G846 unto ^G1519 a place ^G5564 called ^G3004 Gethsemane, ^G1068 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto the disciples, ^G3101 Sit ye ^G2523 here, ^G847 while ^{G2193 G3757} I go ^G565 and pray ^G4336 yonder. ^G1563

³⁷ And ^G2532 he took with him ^G3880 Peter ^G4074 and ^G2532 the two ^G1417 sons ^G5207 of Zebedee, ^G2199 and began ^G756 to be sorrowful ^G3076 and ^G2532 very heavy. ^G85

³⁸ Then ^G5119 saith he ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 My ^G3450 soul ^G5590 is ^G2076 exceeding sorrowful, ^G4036 even unto ^G2193 death: ^G2288 tarry ye ^G3306 here, ^G5602 and ^G2532 watch ^G1127 with ^G3326 me. ^G1700

³⁹ And ^G2532 he went ^G4281 a little ^G3397 further, ^G4281 and fell ^G4098 on ^G1909 his ^G846 face, ^G4383 and ^G2532 prayed, ^G4336 saying, ^G3004 O my ^G3450 Father, ^G3962 if ^G1487 it be ^G2076 possible, ^G1415 let ^G3928 this ^G5124 cup ^G4221 pass ^G3928 from ^G575 me: ^G1700 nevertheless ^G4133 not ^G3756 as ^G5613 I ^G1473 will, ^G2309 but ^G235 as ^G5613 thou ^G4771 wilt.

⁴⁰ And ^G2532 he cometh ^G2064 unto ^G4314 the disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 findeth ^G2147 them ^G846 asleep, ^G2518 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto Peter, ^G4074 What, ^G3779 could ye ^G2480 not ^G3756 watch ^G1127 with ^G3326 me ^G1700 one ^G3391 hour? ^G5610

⁴¹ Watch ^G1127 and ^G2532 pray, ^G4336 that ^G3363 ye enter ^G1525 not ^G3363 into ^G1519 temptation: ^G3986 the spirit ^G4151 indeed ^G3303 is willing, ^G4289 but ^G1161 the flesh ^G4561 is weak. ^G772

⁴² He went away ^G565 again ^G3825 the ^G1537 second time, ^G1208 and prayed, ^G4336 saying, ^G3004 O my ^G3450 Father, ^G3962 if ^G1487 this ^G5124 cup ^G4221 may ^G1410 not ^G3756 pass away ^G3928 from ^G575 me, ^G1700 except ^G3362 I drink ^G4095 it, ^G846 thy ^G4675 will ^G2307 be done. ^G1096

⁴³ And ^G2532 he came ^G2064 and found ^G2147 them ^G846 asleep ^G2518 again: ^G3825 for ^G1063 their ^G846 eyes ^G3788 were ^G2258 heavy. ^G916

⁴⁴ And ^G2532 he left ^G863 them, ^G846 and went away ^G565 again, ^G3825 and prayed ^{G4336 G1537} the third time, ^G5154 saying ^G2036 the same ^G846 words. ^G3056

⁴⁵ Then ^G5119 cometh he ^G2064 to ^G4314 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Sleep on ^G2518 now, ^G3063 and ^G2532 take your rest: ^G373 behold, ^G2400 the hour ^G5610 is at hand, ^G1448 and ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is betrayed ^G3860 into ^G1519 the hands ^G5495 of sinners. ^G268

⁴⁶ Rise, ^G1453 let us be going: ^G71 behold, ^G2400 he is at hand ^G1448 that doth betray ^G3860 me. ^G3165

⁴⁷ And ^G2532 while ^G2089 he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 lo, ^G2400 Judas, ^G2455 one ^G1520 of the twelve, ^G1427 came, ^G2064 and ^G2532 with ^G3326 him ^G846 a great ^G4183 multitude ^G3793 with ^G3326 swords ^G3162 and ^G2532 staves, ^G3586 from ^G575 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 elders ^G4245 of the people. ^G2992

⁴⁸ Now ^G1161 he that betrayed ^G3860 him ^G846 gave ^G1325 them ^G846 a sign, ^G4592 saying, ^G3004 Whomsoever ^{G3739 G302} I shall kiss, ^G5368 that same ^G846 is ^G2076 he: ^G846 hold ^G2902 him ^G846 fast. ^G2902

⁴⁹ And ^G2532 forthwith ^G2112 he came ^G4334 to Jesus, ^G2424 and said, ^G2036 Hail, ^G5463 master; ^G4461 and ^G2532 kissed ^G2705 him. ^G846

⁵⁰ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Friend, ^G2083 wherefore ^{G1909 G3739} art thou come? ^G3918 Then ^G5119 came they, ^G4334 and laid ^G1911 hands ^G5495 on ^G1909 Jesus, ^G2424 and ^G2532 took ^G2902 him. ^G846

⁵¹ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 one ^G1520 of them which were with ^G3326 Jesus ^G2424 stretched out ^G1614 his hand, ^G5495 and drew ^G645 his ^G846 sword, ^G3162 and ^G2532 struck ^G3960 a servant ^G1401 of the high priest's, ^G749 and smote off ^G851 his ^G846 ear. ^G5621

⁵² Then ^G5119 said ^G3004 Jesus ^G2424 unto him, ^G846 Put up again ^G654 thy ^G4675 sword ^G3162 into ^G1519 his ^G846 place: ^G5117 for ^G1063 all they ^G3956 that take ^G2983 the sword ^G3162 shall perish ^G622 with ^G1722 the sword. ^G3162

^{53 G2228} Thinkest thou ^G1380 that ^G3754 I cannot ^{G3756 G1410} now ^G737 pray ^G3870 to my ^G3450 Father, ^G3962 and ^G2532 he shall presently give ^G3936 me ^G3427 more ^G4119 than ^G2228 twelve ^G1427 legions ^G3003 of angels? ^G32

⁵⁴ But how ^G4459 then ^G3767 shall the scriptures ^G1124 be fulfilled, ^G4137 that ^G3754 thus ^G3779 it must ^G1163 be? ^G1096

⁵⁵ In ^G1722 that same ^G1565 hour ^G5610 said ^G2036 Jesus ^G2424 to the multitudes, ^G3793 Are ye come out ^G1831 as ^G5613 against ^G1909 a thief ^G3027 with ^G3326 swords ^G3162 and ^G2532 staves ^G3586 for to take ^G4815 me? ^G3165 I sat ^G2516 daily ^{G2250 G2596} with ^G4314 you ^G5209 teaching ^G1321 in ^G1722 the temple, ^G2411 and ^G2532 ye laid ^G2902 no ^G3756 hold ^G2902 on me. ^G3165

⁵⁶ But ^G1161 all ^G3650 this ^G5124 was done, ^G1096 that ^G2443 the scriptures ^G1124 of the prophets ^G4396 might be fulfilled. ^G4137 Then ^G5119 all ^G3956 the disciples ^G3101 forsook ^G863 him, ^G846 and fled. ^G5343

⁵⁷ And ^G1161 they that had laid hold ^G2902 on Jesus ^G2424 led him away ^G520 to ^G4314 Caiaphas ^G2533 the high priest, ^G749 where ^G3699 the scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 the elders ^G4245 were assembled. ^G4863

⁵⁸ But ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 followed ^G190 him ^G846 afar off ^{G575 G3113} unto ^G2193 the high priest's ^G749 palace, ^G833 and ^G2532 went ^G1525 in, ^G2080 and sat ^G2521 with ^G3326 the servants, ^G5257 to see ^G1492 the end. ^G5056

⁵⁹ Now ^G1161 the chief priests, ^G749 and ^G2532 elders, ^G4245 and ^G2532 all ^G3650 the council, ^G4892 sought ^G2212 false witness ^G5577 against ^G2596 Jesus, ^G2424 to ^G3704 put ^G2289 him ^G846 to death; ^G2289

⁶⁰ But ^G2532 found ^G2147 none: ^G3756 yea, ^G2532 though many ^G4183 false witnesses ^G5575 came, ^G4334 yet found they ^G2147 none. ^{G3756 G1161} At the last ^G5305 came ^G4334 two ^G1417 false witnesses, ^G5575

⁶¹ And said, ^G2036 This ^G3778 fellow said, ^G5346 I am able ^G1410 to destroy ^G2647 the temple ^G3485 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 to build ^G3618 it ^G846 in ^G1223 three ^G5140 days. ^G2250

⁶² And ^G2532 the high priest ^G749 arose, ^G450 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Answerest thou ^G611 nothing? ^G3762 what ^G5101 is it which these ^G3778 witness against ^G2649 thee? ^G4675

⁶³ But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 held his peace. ^G4623 And ^G2532 the high priest ^G749 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 I adjure ^G1844 thee ^G4571 by ^G2596 the living ^G2198 God, ^G2316 that ^G2443 thou tell ^G2036 us ^G2254 whether ^G1487 thou ^G4771 be ^G1488 the Christ, ^G5547 the Son ^G5207 of God. ^G2316

⁶⁴ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Thou ^G4771 hast said: ^G2036 nevertheless ^G4133 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Hereafter ^{G737 G575} shall ye see ^G3700 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 sitting ^G2521 on ^G1537 the right hand ^G1188 of power, ^G1411 and ^G2532 coming ^G2064 in ^G1909 the clouds ^G3507 of heaven. ^G3772

⁶⁵ Then ^G5119 the high priest ^G749 rent ^G1284 his ^G846 clothes, ^G2440 saying, ^{G3004 G3754} He hath spoken blasphemy; ^G987 what ^G5101 further ^G2089 need ^G5532 have we ^G2192 of witnesses? ^G3144 behold, ^G2396 now ^G3568 ye have heard ^G191 his ^G846 blasphemy. ^G988

⁶⁶ What ^G5101 think ^G1380 ye? ^G5213 They answered ^G611 and ^G1161 said, ^G2036 He is ^G2076 guilty ^G1777 of death. ^G2288

⁶⁷ Then ^G5119 did they spit ^G1716 in ^G1519 his ^G846 face, ^G4383 and ^G2532 buffeted ^G2852 him; ^G846 and ^G1161 others smote him with the palms of their hands, ^G4474

⁶⁸ Saying, ^G3004 Prophesy ^G4395 unto us, ^G2254 thou Christ, ^G5547 Who ^G5101 is he ^G2076 that smote ^G3817 thee? ^G4571

⁶⁹ Now ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 sat ^G2521 without ^G1854 in ^G1722 the palace: ^G833 and ^G2532 a ^G3391 damsel ^G3814 came ^G4334 unto him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Thou ^G4771 also ^G2532 wast ^G2258 with ^G3326 Jesus ^G2424 of Galilee. ^G1057

⁷⁰ But ^G1161 he denied ^G720 before ^G1715 them all, ^G3956 saying, ^G3004 I know ^G1492 not ^G3756 what ^G5101 thou sayest. ^G3004

⁷¹ And ^G1161 when he ^G846 was gone out ^G1831 into ^G1519 the porch, ^G4440 another ^G243 maid saw ^G1492 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 said ^G3004 unto them that were there, ^G1563 This ^G3778 fellow was ^G2258 also ^G2532 with ^G3326 Jesus ^G2424 of Nazareth. ^G3480

⁷² And ^G2532 again ^G3825 he denied ^G720 with ^G3326 an oath, ^{G3727 G3754} I do ^G1492 not ^G3756 know ^G1492 the man. ^G444

⁷³ And ^G1161 after ^G3326 a while ^G3397 came unto him they ^G4334 that stood by, ^G2476 and said ^G2036 to Peter, ^G4074 Surely ^G230 thou ^G4771 also ^G2532 art ^G1488 one of ^G1537 them; ^G846 for ^{G1063 G2532} thy ^G4675 speech ^G2981 bewrayeth ^G1212 thee. ^{G4571 G4160}

⁷⁴ Then ^G5119 began he ^G756 to curse ^G2653 and ^G2532 to swear, ^G3660 saying, ^G3754 I know ^G1492 not ^G3756 the man. ^G444 And ^G2532 immediately ^G2112 the cock ^G220 crew. ^G5455

⁷⁵ And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 remembered ^G3415 the word ^G4487 of Jesus, ^G2424 which ^G3588 said ^G2046 unto him, ^G846 Before ^{G3754 G4250} the cock ^G220 crow, ^G5455 thou shalt deny ^G533 me ^G3165 thrice. ^G5151 And ^G2532 he went out, ^G1854 and ^G1831 wept ^G2799 bitterly. ^G4090

---

¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,

² Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;

⁴ and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.

⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.

⁸ But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

⁹ For this `ointment' might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

¹⁰ But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

¹² For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

¹⁵ and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him `unto them.'

¹⁷ Now on the first `day' of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

²⁰ Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;

²¹ and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?

²³ And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²⁴ The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

²⁵ And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

²⁸ for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

³⁰ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³² But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵ Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, `yet' will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.

³⁸ Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.

³⁹ And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not 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 cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

⁴⁵ Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto 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 us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

⁴⁹ And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, `do' that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹ And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁵² Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

⁵⁵ In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

⁵⁶ But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

⁵⁷ And they that had taken Jesus led him away to `the house of' Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

⁶¹ and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

⁶² And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

⁶⁶ what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another `maid' saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

⁷³ And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art `one' of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

---

¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

² `Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.'

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

⁴ and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill `him',

⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

⁶ And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat).

⁸ And having seen `it', his disciples were much displeased, saying, `To what purpose `is' this waste?

⁹ for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.'

¹⁰ And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

¹¹ for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;

¹² for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my burial she did `it'.

¹³ Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this `one' did shall also be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, said,

¹⁵ `What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you?' and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings,

¹⁶ and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up.

¹⁷ And on the first `day' of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, `Where wilt thou `that' we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?'

¹⁸ and he said, `Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;'

¹⁹ and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover.

²⁰ And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve,

²¹ and while they are eating, he said, `Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.'

²² And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, `Is it I, Sir?'

²³ And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up;

²⁴ the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.'

²⁵ And Judas -- he who delivered him up -- answering said, `Is it I, Rabbi?' He saith to him, `Thou hast said.'

²⁶ And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;'

²⁷ and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it -- all;

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out -- to remission of sins;

²⁹ and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.'

³⁰ And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives;

³¹ then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad;

³² but, after my having risen, I will go before you to Galilee.'

³³ And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.'

³⁴ Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.'

³⁵ Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.'

³⁷ And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy;

³⁸ then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul -- unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.'

³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.'

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me!

⁴¹ watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

⁴² Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Thy will be done;'

⁴³ and having come, he findeth them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying the same word;

⁴⁵ then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us go; lo, he hath come nigh who is delivering me up.'

⁴⁷ And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, `Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;'

⁴⁹ and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, `Hail, Rabbi,' and kissed him;

⁵⁰ and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou present?' Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and took hold on him.

⁵¹ And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.

⁵² Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;

⁵³ dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁵⁴ how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?'

⁵⁵ In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold on me;

⁵⁶ but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁵⁷ And those laying hold on Jesus led `him' away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

⁵⁸ and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

⁶⁰ and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near,

⁶¹ said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.'

⁶² And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee?

⁶³ and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ -- the Son of God.'

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.'

⁶⁵ Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, -- `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

⁶⁶ what think ye?' and they answering said, `He is worthy of death.'

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

⁶⁸ saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

⁶⁹ And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

⁷⁰ And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.'

⁷¹ And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'

⁷² and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known the man.'

⁷³ And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'

⁷⁴ Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him -- `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

---

¹ And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

² Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

⁴ and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

⁵ but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.

⁶ But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,

⁷ a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.

⁸ But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end [was] this waste?

⁹ for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.

¹⁰ But Jesus knowing [it] said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.

¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

¹² For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.

¹³ Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this [woman] has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests

¹⁵ and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

¹⁷ Now on the first [day] of [the feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.

²⁰ And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.

²¹ And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

²² And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it *I*, Lord?

²³ But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.

²⁴ The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁵ And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it *I*, Rabbi? He says to him, *Thou* hast said.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken [the] bread and blessed, broke [it] and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

²⁷ And having taken [the] cup and given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.

²⁸ For this is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.

³⁰ And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then saith Jesus to them, All *ye* shall be offended in me during this night. For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

³² But after that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

³³ And Peter answering said to him, If all shall be offended in thee, *I* will never be offended.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before [the] cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁵ Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.

³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.

³⁷ And taking with [him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.

³⁸ Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.

³⁹ And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as *I* will, but as *thou* [wilt].

⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] ready, but the flesh weak.

⁴² Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass [from me] unless I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

⁴⁵ Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.

⁴⁹ And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, [My] friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.

⁵¹ And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.

⁵² Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

⁵⁶ But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

⁵⁷ Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁵⁸ And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

⁶⁰ And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward

⁶¹ and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.

⁶² And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.

⁶⁶ What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.

⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,

⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?

⁶⁹ But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And *thou* wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

⁷⁰ But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the entrance, another [maid] saw him, and says to those there, This [man] also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

⁷³ And after a little, those who stood [there], coming to [him], said to Peter, Truly *thou* too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately [the] cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said [to him], Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.

---

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."

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 But Jesus, knowing this, 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 assuredly I tell you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

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.

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 assuredly 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."

²⁶ As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for{TR reads "blessed" instead of "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.

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 assuredly 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.

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."

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.

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, henceforth 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?"

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.

---

¹ And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

² After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

³ Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

⁵ But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

⁸ But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

⁹ For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.

¹⁰ But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

¹¹ For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

¹² For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

¹³ Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

¹⁵ What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

¹⁷ Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

¹⁸ And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.

²⁰ Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;

²¹ And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

²² And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

²³ And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

²⁴ The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

²⁵ And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

²⁶ And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

²⁸ Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

²⁹ But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

³⁰ And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

³¹ Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

³² But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³⁵ Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

³⁸ Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

³⁹ And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

⁴² Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.

⁴³ And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.

⁴⁴ And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.

⁴⁵ Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

⁴⁶ Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.

⁴⁷ And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

⁴⁸ Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.

⁴⁹ And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹ And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

⁵³ Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

⁵⁴ But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.

⁵⁶ But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

⁵⁷ And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

⁵⁸ But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

⁶⁶ What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

⁶⁷ Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

⁶⁸ Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!

⁶⁹ Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.

⁷⁰ But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.

⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

⁷² And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.

⁷³ And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

⁷⁴ Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

⁷⁵ And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
