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,
|
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.
|
10. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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 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 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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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?
|
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.
|
67. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
|
69. Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
