1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,
2 “You know that the Passover begins in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,
4 and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
5 “But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
9 This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
10 But knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.
11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
12 For in pouring this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 From then on he kept looking for an opportunity to betray Him.
17 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to make preparation for you eat the Passover?"
18 He answered, "Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is near. I will keep the Passover with my disciples at your house.'
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, He was sitting at the table with the Twelve.
21 And, while they were eating, he said: "I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23 He replied, "The man who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
28 This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new 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, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33 Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
34 "I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!"
35 Peter says to Him, “Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the other disciples said the same.
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
38 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
39 Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
41 “Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot go away unless I drink it, let your will be done."
43 And coming he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Up, let us be going. Here comes my betrayer."
47 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
49 Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed Him.
50 “Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
51 At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
53 Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.
56 But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the High Priest, where the Teachers of the Law and the Councillors had assembled.
58 But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.
60 But they could not find it, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
61 and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
62 Then the High Priest stood up, and said to Jesus: "Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?"
63 But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 “You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.
67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Some slapped him,
68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
70 But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
71 And when he went out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 He denied it again, with an oath, and said, "I do not know the man!"
73 After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the rooster crowed.
75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
