Whiston(i)
1 After two days was the passover: and the chief priests, and the scribes sought how they might take him, and put him to death.
2 But they said, Lest there be on the feast an uprore of the people.
3 And Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster-box of ointment; and she brake the alabaster-box, and poured it on his head.
4 But his disciples had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment?
5 This ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured at her.
6 And Jesus said unto them, Let her alone, why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work in me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 But verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, what she also hath done shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Scarioth, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him.
11 And they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, the disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee, that thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, saying, Go ye into the city, and a man bearing a pitcher of water shall meet you: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: and there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and did as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 But in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus saith, Verily I say unto you, out of you who eateth with me, will betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another, Is it I?
20 And he saith unto them, it is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed is betrayed, as it is written of him: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed: good were it for that man if he had not been born.
22 And as they did eat, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them; This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you; I will not drink any more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it again in the kingdom of God.
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27 Then Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 But after I am risen I will go before you unto Galilee.
29 But Peter saith unto him, If all shall be offended, yet will not I be offended.
30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow thou wilt deny me thrice.
31 But he said, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise said they all.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemanei: and he saith to them, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy,
34 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
35 And he proceeded a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, that if it were possible this hour might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, All things [are] possible unto thee, take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? could not ye watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray; that ye enter not into temptation, the spirit truly [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
39 And again he went away, and prayed.
40 And when he came, he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy: neither knew they what to answer him.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on, and take your rest: the end is very near, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go: lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 And while he yet spake, cometh Judas Scarioth, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
44 And he that betrayed him, had given a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he, lay hold of him, and lead [him] away safely.
45 And he came to him, and saith, Rabbi, and kissed him.
46 And they laid their hands [on him], and seized him.
47 And one of them drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And he said unto them, Are ye come out against a thief, with swords and staves, to take me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
50 And they all forsook him and fled.
51 But a certain young man followed them, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.
52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes came together to him.
54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest; and he sat with the servants, warming himself at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and the whole council sought for witness against Jesus that they might put him to death; and found none.
56 For many bare false witness and spake against him, but their testimony did not agree.
57 And others arose, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58 We heard him say, I will destroy the temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will raise up another made without hands.
59 But neither so did their testimony agree.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answereth thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. The high priest said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 But Jesus answered and saith to him, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, with the clouds of heaven.
63 But the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need have we any farther of witnesses?
64 Ye have heard his blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65 And some began to spit on his face, and they buffeted him, and said unto him, Prophesie: and they struck him with the palms of their hands.
66 And as Peter was in the palace, there cometh to him one of the maids of the high priest.
67 And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, Thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 But he denied, saying, I neither know nor understand what thou sayst. He went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 And the maid seeing him again, he denyed again, and she began to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.
70 And a little after, they that stood by said again, Surely thou art [one] of them: for thou art a Galilean.
71 But he began to curse, and to say, I know not the man of whom ye speak.
72 And presently the cock crew the second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said. And when he thought thereon, he began to weep.
