1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto the disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiphas.
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill [him].
5 But they said, Not on the feast, lest there be an uprore among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simo 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.
8 But when the disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For it 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 wrote a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
12 For she hath poured this ointment on my body, and she did [it] for my burial.
13 Verily I say into you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Scarioth, 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 unto them.
17 Now the first [day] of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus saying, Where wilt thou that we shall prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a one, 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 ordered 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 will betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
24 Therefore the Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but wo unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed: it had been good on this account for that man it he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, who 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, and brake, and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this 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 covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, that I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers 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 will be Scandalized because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will 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 scandalized because of thee, I will never be scandalized.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I in no wise deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsamanei and saith unto his 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 came a little further, 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 his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, Could ye not thus 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, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 and when he came again he found them asleep: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed, 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 But 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 who were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priests, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said 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 now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angel?
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 as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But all this hath been done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook im, and fled.
57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led [him] away to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priests palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus to put him to death.
60 But found it not: yea, and when many false witnesses came they found it not. At the last came two false witnesses
61 And said we have heard this man say, 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, Answereth thou nothing? what do these witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace. The high priest therefore 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: moreover I say unto you, that 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 all answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffet him, and others smote [him] with the palms of their hands.
68 Saying, Prophesie unto us, thou Christ, who was 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 nor understand what thou sayst.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This man was with Jesus of Nazareth,
72 And again he denied with an oath saying I do not know the man.
73 And a little after came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou art one of them, for thy speech resembles their's.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembred the word of Jesus, who said, Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
