After two
days
was
the feast of the passover
, and
of
unleavened bread
: and
the chief priests
and
the scribes
sought
how
they might take
him
by
craft
, and put him to death
.
But they said
, Not
on
the feast
day , lest
there be
an uproar
of the people
.
And 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
of spikenard
very precious
; and
she brake
the box
, and poured
it on
his
head
.
And there were
some
that had indignation
within
themselves
, and
said
, Why
was
this
waste
of the ointment
made
?
For it
might
have been sold
for more than
three hundred
pence
, and
have been given
to the poor
. And
they murmured against
her
.
And Jesus
said
, Let
her
alone
; why
trouble ye
her
? she hath wrought
a good
work
on
me
.
For ye have
the poor
with
you
always
, and
whensoever
ye will
ye may
do
them
good
: but
me
ye have
not
always
.
She hath done what
she
could
: she is come aforehand
to anoint
my
body
to
the burying
.
Verily I say
unto you
, Wheresoever
this
gospel
shall be preached
throughout
the whole
world
, this also
that
she
hath done
shall be spoken
of for
a memorial
of her
.
And Judas
Iscariot
, one
of the twelve
, went
unto
the chief priests
, to
betray
him
unto them
.
And when they heard
it , they were glad
, and
promised
to give
him
money
. And
he sought
how
he might conveniently
betray
him
.
And the first
day
of unleavened bread
, when
they killed
the passover
, his
disciples
said
unto him
, Where
wilt thou
that we go
and prepare
that
thou mayest eat
the passover
?
And he sendeth forth
two
of his
disciples
, and
saith
unto them
, Go ye
into
the city
, and
there shall meet
you
a man
bearing
a pitcher
of water
: follow
him
.
And wheresoever
he shall go in
, say ye
to the goodman of the house
,
The Master
saith
, Where
is
the guestchamber
, where
I shall eat
the passover
with
my
disciples
?
And he
will shew
you
a large
upper room
furnished
and prepared
: there
make ready
for us
.
And his
disciples
went forth
, and
came
into
the city
, and
found
as
he had said
unto them
: and
they made ready
the passover
.
And in
the evening
he cometh
with
the twelve
.
And as they
sat
and
did eat
, Jesus
said
, Verily
I say
unto you
,
One
of
you
which
eateth
with
me
shall betray
me
.
And they began
to be sorrowful
, and to
say
unto him
one by one
,
Is it I
? and
another
said,
Is it I
?
And he answered
and said
unto them
, It is one
of
the twelve
, that dippeth
with
me
in
the dish
.
The Son of man
indeed
goeth
, as
it is written
of
him
: but
woe
to that
man
by
whom
the Son
of man
is betrayed
! good
were it
for that
man
if
he
had
never
been born
.
And as they
did eat
, Jesus
took
bread
, and blessed
, and brake
it , and
gave
to them
, and
said
, Take
, eat
: this
is
my
body
.
And he took
the cup
, and when he had given thanks
, he gave
it to them
: and
they all
drank
of
it
.
And he said
unto them
, This
is
my
blood
of the new
testament
, which
is shed
for
many
.
Verily I say
unto you
, I will
drink
no more
of
the fruit
of the vine
, until
that
day
that
I drink
it
new
in
the kingdom
of God
.
And when they had sung an hymn
, they went out
into
the mount
of Olives
.
And Jesus
saith
unto them
,
All ye
shall be offended
because of
me
this
night
: for
it is written
, I will smite
the shepherd
, and
the sheep
shall be scattered
.
But after
that I
am risen
, I will go before
you
into
Galilee
.
But Peter
said
unto him
, Although
all
shall be offended
, yet
will not
I
.
And Jesus
saith
unto him
, Verily
I say
unto thee
, That
this day
, even in
this
night
, before
the cock
crow
twice
, thou shalt deny
me
thrice
.
But he spake
the more
vehemently
, If
I
should
die with
thee
, I will not
deny
thee
in any wise
. Likewise
also
said they
all
.
And they came
to
a place
which
was named
Gethsemane
: and
he saith
to his
disciples
, Sit ye
here
, while
I shall pray
.
And he taketh
with
him
Peter
and
James
and
John
, and
began
to be sore amazed
, and
to be very heavy
;
And saith
unto them
, My
soul
is
exceeding sorrowful
unto
death
: tarry ye
here
, and
watch
.
And he went forward
a little
, and fell
on
the ground
, and
prayed
that
, if
it were
possible
, the hour
might pass
from
him
.
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.
And he cometh
, and
findeth
them
sleeping
, and
saith
unto Peter
, Simon
, sleepest thou
? couldest
not
thou watch
one
hour
?
Watch ye and
pray
, lest
ye enter
into
temptation
. The spirit
truly
is ready
, but
the flesh
is weak
.
And again
he went away
, and prayed
, and spake
the same
words
.
And when he returned
, he found
them
asleep
again
, (for
their
eyes
were
heavy
,) neither
wist they
what
to answer
him
.
And he cometh
the third time
, and
saith
unto them
, Sleep on
now
, and
take your rest
: it is enough
, the hour
is come
; behold
, the Son
of man
is betrayed
into
the hands
of sinners
.
Rise up, let us go
; lo
, he that betrayeth
me
is at hand
.
And immediately
, while he
yet
spake
, cometh
Judas
, one
of the twelve
, and
with
him
a great
multitude
with
swords
and
staves
, from
the chief priests
and
the scribes
and
the elders
.
And he that betrayed
him
had given
them
a token
, saying
, Whomsoever
I shall kiss
, that same
is he
; take
him
, and
lead him away
safely
.
And as soon as he was come
, he goeth
straightway
to him
, and saith
, Master
, master
; and
kissed
him
.
And they laid
their
hands
on
him
, and
took
him
.
And one
of them
that stood by
drew
a sword
, and smote
a servant
of the high priest
, and
cut off
his
ear
.
And Jesus
answered
and said
unto them
, Are ye come out
, as
against
a thief
, with
swords
and
with staves
to take
me
?
I was daily
with
you
in
the temple
teaching
, and
ye took
me
not
: but
the scriptures
must
be fulfilled
.
And they all
forsook
him
, and fled
.
And there followed
him
a
certain
young man
, having a linen cloth
cast
about
his naked
body ; and
the young men
laid hold
on him
:
And he left
the linen cloth
, and fled
from
them
naked
.
And they led
Jesus
away
to
the high priest
: and
with him
were assembled
all
the chief priests
and
the elders
and
the scribes
.
And Peter
followed
him
afar
off
, even
into
the palace
of the high priest
: and
he sat
with
the servants
, and
warmed himself
at
the fire
.
And the chief priests
and
all
the council
sought
for witness
against
Jesus
to
put
him
to death
; and
found
none
.
For many
bare false witness
against
him
, but
their witness
agreed
not
together
.
And there arose
certain
, and bare false witness
against
him
, saying
,
We
heard
him
say
,
I
will destroy
this
temple
that is made with hands
, and
within
three
days
I will build
another
made without hands
.
But neither
so
did
their
witness
agree together
.
And the high priest
stood up
in
the midst
, and asked
Jesus
, saying
, Answerest
thou
nothing
? what
is it which these
witness
against thee
?
But he held his peace
, and
answered
nothing
. Again
the high priest
asked
him
, and
said
unto him
, Art
thou
the Christ
, the Son
of the Blessed
?
And Jesus
said
, I
am
: and
ye shall see
the Son
of man
sitting
on
the right hand
of power
, and
coming
in
the clouds
of heaven
.
Then the high priest
rent
his
clothes
, and saith
, What
need
we
any further
witnesses
?
Ye have heard the blasphemy
: what
think
ye
? And
they all
condemned
him
to be
guilty
of death
.
And some
began
to spit
on him
, and
to cover
his
face
, and
to buffet
him
, and
to say
unto him
, Prophesy
: and
the servants
did strike
him
with the palms of their hands
.
And as Peter
was
beneath
in
the palace
, there cometh
one
of the maids
of the high priest
:
And when she saw
Peter
warming himself
, she looked
upon him
, and said
, And
thou
also
wast
with
Jesus
of Nazareth
.
But he denied
, saying
, I know
not
, neither
understand I
what
thou
sayest
. And
he went
out
into
the porch
; and
the cock
crew
.
And a maid
saw
him
again
, and began
to say
to them that stood by
, This
is
one of
them
.
And he denied it
again
. And
a little
after
, they that stood by
said
again
to Peter
, Surely
thou art
one of
them
: for
thou art
a Galilaean
, and
thy
speech
agreeth
thereto .
But he began
to curse
and
to swear
, saying , I know
not
this
man
of whom
ye speak
.
And the
second time
the cock
crew
. And
Peter
called to mind
the word
that
Jesus
said
unto him
,
Before
the cock
crow
twice
, thou shalt deny
me
thrice
. And
when he thought thereon
, he wept
.
