Now the feast
of unleavened bread
drew nigh
, which is called
the Passover
.
And the chief priests
and
scribes
sought
how
they might kill
him
; for
they feared
the people
.
Then entered
Satan
into
Judas
surnamed
Iscariot
, being
of
the number
of the twelve
.
And he went his way
, and communed with
the chief priests
and
captains
, how
he might betray
him
unto them
.
And they were glad
, and
covenanted
to give
him
money
.
And he promised
, and
sought
opportunity
to betray
him
unto them
in the absence
of the multitude
.
Then came
the day
of unleavened bread
, when
the passover
must
be killed
.
And he sent
Peter
and
John
, saying
, Go
and prepare
us
the passover
, that
we may eat
.
And they said
unto him
, Where
wilt thou
that we prepare
?
And he said
unto them
, Behold
, when ye
are entered
into
the city
, there shall
a man
meet
you
, bearing
a pitcher
of water
; follow
him
into
the house
where
he entereth in
.
And ye shall say
unto the goodman
of the house
, The Master
saith
unto thee
, Where
is
the guestchamber
, where
I shall eat
the passover
with
my
disciples
?
And he shall shew
you
a large
upper room
furnished
: there
make ready
.
And they went
, and found
as
he had said
unto them
: and
they made ready
the passover
.
And when
the hour
was come
, he sat down
, and
the twelve
apostles
with
him
.
And he said
unto
them
, With desire
I have desired
to eat
this
passover
with
you
before
I
suffer
:
For I say
unto you
,
I will
not
any more
eat
thereof
, until
it be fulfilled
in
the kingdom
of God
.
And he took
the cup
, and gave thanks
, and said
, Take
this
, and
divide
it among yourselves
:
For I say
unto you
,
I will
not
drink
of
the fruit
of the vine
, until
the kingdom
of God
shall come
.
And he took
bread
, and gave thanks
, and brake
it , and
gave
unto them
, saying
, This
is
my
body
which
is given
for
you
: this
do
in remembrance
of
me
.
Likewise also
the cup
after
supper
, saying
, This
cup
is the new
testament
in
my
blood
, which
is shed
for
you
.
But, behold
, the hand
of him that betrayeth
me
is with
me
on
the table
.
And truly
the Son
of man
goeth
, as
it was determined
: but
woe
unto that
man
by
whom
he is betrayed
!
And they
began
to enquire
among
themselves
, which
of
them
it was
that should
do
this thing
.
And there was
also
a strife
among
them
, which
of them
should be accounted
the greatest
.
And he said
unto them
, The kings
of the Gentiles
exercise lordship over
them
; and
they that exercise authority upon
them
are called
benefactors
.
But ye
shall not
be so
: but
he that is greatest
among
you
, let him be
as
the younger
; and
he that is chief
, as
he that doth serve
.
For whether
is greater
, he that sitteth at meat
, or
he that serveth
? is not
he that sitteth at meat
? but
I
am
among
you
as
he that serveth
.
Ye
are
they which have continued
with
me
in
my
temptations
.
And I appoint
unto you
a kingdom
, as
my
Father
hath appointed
unto me
;
That ye may eat
and
drink
at
my
table
in
my
kingdom
, and
sit
on
thrones
judging
the twelve
tribes
of Israel
.
And the Lord
said
, Simon
, Simon
, behold
, Satan
hath desired
to have you
, that he may sift
you as
wheat
:
But I
have prayed
for
thee
, that
thy
faith
fail
not
: and
when
thou
art converted
, strengthen
thy
brethren
.
And he said
unto him
, Lord
, I am
ready
to go
with
thee
, both
into
prison
, and
to
death
.
And he said
, I tell
thee
, Peter
, the cock
shall
not
crow
this day
, before that
thou shalt
thrice
deny
that thou
knowest
me
.
And he said
unto them
, When
I sent
you
without
purse
, and
scrip
, and
shoes
,
lacked ye
any thing
? And
they said
, Nothing
.
Then said he
unto them
, But
now
, he that hath
a purse
, let him take
it , and
likewise
his scrip
: and
he that hath
no
sword
, let him sell
his
garment
, and
buy
one.
For I say
unto you
, that
this
that is written
must
yet
be accomplished
in
me
, And
he was reckoned
among
the transgressors
: for
the things concerning
me
have
an end
.
And they said
, Lord
, behold
, here
are two
swords
. And
he said
unto them
, It is
enough
.
And he came out
, and went
, as
he was wont
, to
the mount
of Olives
; and
his
disciples
also
followed
him
.
And when he was
at
the place
, he said
unto them
, Pray
that ye enter
not
into
temptation
.
And he
was withdrawn
from
them
about
a stone's
cast
, and
kneeled down
, and prayed
,
Saying, Father
, if
thou be willing
, remove
this
cup
from
me
: nevertheless
not
my
will
, but
thine
, be done
.
And there appeared
an angel
unto him
from
heaven
, strengthening
him
.
And being
in
an agony
he prayed
more earnestly
: and
his
sweat
was
as it were
great drops
of blood
falling down
to
the ground
.
And when he rose up
from
prayer
, and was come
to
his
disciples
, he found
them
sleeping
for
sorrow
,
And said
unto them
, Why
sleep ye
? rise
and pray
, lest
ye enter
into
temptation
.
And while he
yet
spake
, behold
a multitude
, and
he that was called
Judas
, one
of the twelve
, went before
them
, and
drew near
unto Jesus
to kiss
him
.
But Jesus
said
unto him
, Judas
, betrayest thou
the Son
of man
with a kiss
?
When they which were about
him
saw
what would follow
, they said
unto him
, Lord
,
shall we smite
with
the sword
?
And one
of
them
smote
the servant
of the high priest
, and
cut off
his
right
ear
.
And Jesus
answered
and said
, Suffer ye
thus
far
. And
he touched
his
ear
, and healed
him
.
Then Jesus
said
unto
the chief priests
, and
captains
of the temple
, and
the elders
, which were come
to
him
, Be ye come out
, as
against
a thief
, with
swords
and
staves
?
When I
was
daily
with
you
in
the temple
, ye stretched forth
no
hands
against
me
: but
this
is
your
hour
, and
the power
of darkness
.
Then took they
him
, and led
him , and
brought
him
into
the high priest's
house
. And
Peter
followed
afar off
.
And when they
had kindled
a fire
in
the midst
of the hall
, and
were set down together
, Peter
sat down
among
them
.
But a certain
maid
beheld
him
as he sat
by
the fire
, and
earnestly looked
upon him
, and said
, This man
was
also
with
him
.
And he denied
him
, saying
, Woman
, I know
him
not
.
And after
a little while
another
saw
him
, and said
, Thou
art
also
of
them
. And
Peter
said
, Man
, I am
not
.
And about
the space
of one
hour
after another
confidently affirmed
, saying
, Of
a truth
this
fellow also
was
with
him
: for
he is
a Galilaean
.
And Peter
said
, Man
, I know
not
what
thou sayest
. And
immediately
, while he
yet
spake
, the cock
crew
.
And the Lord
turned
, and looked upon
Peter
. And
Peter
remembered
the word
of the Lord
, how
he had said
unto him
, Before
the cock
crow
, thou shalt deny
me
thrice
.
And Peter
went
out
, and wept
bitterly
.
And the men
that held
Jesus
mocked
him
, and smote
him .
And when they had blindfolded
him
, they struck
him
on the face
, and
asked
him
, saying
, Prophesy
, who
is it
that smote
thee
?
And many
other things
blasphemously
spake they
against
him
.
And as soon as
it was
day
, the elders
of the people
and
the chief priests
and
the scribes
came together
, and
led
him
into
their
council
, saying
,
Art
thou
the Christ
? tell
us
. And
he said
unto them
, If
I tell
you
, ye will
not
believe
:
And if
I also
ask
you , ye will
not
answer
me
, nor
let me go
.
Hereafter shall
the Son
of man
sit
on
the right hand
of the power
of God
.
Then said
they all
, Art
thou
then
the Son
of God
? And
he said
unto
them
, Ye
say
that
I
am
.
And they said
, What
need
we
any further
witness
? for
we ourselves
have heard
of
his own
mouth
.
