And it came to pass
, when
Jesus
had finished
all
these
sayings
, he said
unto his
disciples
,
Ye know that
after
two
days
is
the feast of the passover
, and
the Son
of man
is betrayed
to
be crucified
.
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
,
And consulted
that
they might take
Jesus
by subtilty
, and
kill
him .
But they said
, Not
on
the feast
day , lest
there be
an uproar
among
the people
.
Now when Jesus
was
in
Bethany
, in
the house
of Simon
the leper
,
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 .
But when his
disciples
saw
it , they had indignation
, saying
, To
what purpose
is this
waste
?
For this
ointment
might
have been sold
for much
, and
given
to the poor
.
When Jesus
understood
it , he said
unto them
, Why
trouble ye
the woman
? for
she hath wrought
a good
work
upon
me
.
For ye have
the poor
always
with
you
; but
me
ye have
not
always
.
For in that she
hath poured
this
ointment
on
my
body
, she did
it for
my
burial
.
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
.
Then one
of the twelve
, called
Judas
Iscariot
, went
unto
the chief priests
,
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
.
And from
that time
he sought
opportunity
to
betray
him
.
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
?
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
.
And the disciples
did
as
Jesus
had appointed
them
; and
they made ready
the passover
.
Now when the even
was come
, he sat down
with
the twelve
.
And as they
did eat
, he said
, Verily
I say
unto you
, that
one
of
you
shall betray
me
.
And they were exceeding
sorrowful
, and began
every one
of them
to say
unto him
, Lord
, is
it
I
?
And he answered
and said
, He that dippeth
his hand
with
me
in
the dish
, the same
shall betray
me
.
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
.
Then Judas
, which
betrayed
him
, answered
and said
, Master
, is
it
I
? He said
unto him
, Thou
hast said
.
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
.
And he took
the cup
, and
gave thanks
, and gave
it to them
, saying
, Drink ye
all
of
it
;
For this
is
my
blood
of the new
testament
, which
is shed
for
many
for
the remission
of sins
.
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
.
And when they had sung an hymn
, they went out
into
the mount
of Olives
.
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
.
But after
I
am risen again
, I will go before
you
into
Galilee
.
Peter answered
and
said
unto him
, Though
all
men shall be offended
because
of thee
, yet will I
never
be offended
.
Jesus said
unto him
, Verily
I say
unto thee
, That
this
night
, before
the cock
crow
, thou shalt deny
me
thrice
.
Peter said
unto him
, Though
I
should
die
with
thee
, yet
will I
not
deny
thee
. Likewise
also
said
all
the disciples
.
Then cometh
Jesus
with
them
unto
a place
called
Gethsemane
, and
saith
unto the disciples
, Sit ye
here
, while
I go
and pray
yonder
.
And he took with him
Peter
and
the two
sons
of Zebedee
, and began
to be sorrowful
and
very heavy
.
Then saith he
unto them
, My
soul
is
exceeding sorrowful
, even unto
death
: tarry ye
here
, and
watch
with
me
.
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 .
And he cometh
unto
the disciples
, and
findeth
them
asleep
, and
saith
unto Peter
, What
, could ye
not
watch
with
me
one
hour
?
Watch and
pray
, that
ye enter
not
into
temptation
: the spirit
indeed
is willing
, but
the flesh
is weak
.
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
.
And he came
and found
them
asleep
again
: for
their
eyes
were
heavy
.
And he left
them
, and went away
again
, and prayed
the third time
, saying
the same
words
.
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
.
Rise, let us be going
: behold
, he is at hand
that doth betray
me
.
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
.
Now he that betrayed
him
gave
them
a sign
, saying
, Whomsoever
I shall kiss
, that same
is
he
: hold
him
fast
.
And forthwith
he came
to Jesus
, and said
, Hail
, master
; and
kissed
him
.
And Jesus
said
unto him
, Friend
, wherefore
art thou come
? Then
came they
, and laid
hands
on
Jesus
, and
took
him
.
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
.
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
.
Thinkest thou
that
I cannot
now
pray
to my
Father
, and
he shall presently give
me
more
than
twelve
legions
of angels
?
But how then
shall the scriptures
be fulfilled
, that
thus
it must
be
?
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
.
But all
this
was done
, that
the scriptures
of the prophets
might be fulfilled
. Then
all
the disciples
forsook
him
, and fled
.
And they that had laid hold
on Jesus
led him away
to
Caiaphas
the high priest
, where
the scribes
and
the elders
were assembled
.
But Peter
followed
him
afar off
unto
the high priest's
palace
, and
went
in
, and sat
with
the servants
, to see
the end
.
Now the chief priests
, and
elders
, and
all
the council
, sought
false witness
against
Jesus
, to
put
him
to death
;
But found
none
: yea
, though many
false witnesses
came
, yet found they
none
.
At the last
came
two
false witnesses
,
And said, This
fellow said
, I am able
to destroy
the temple
of God
, and
to build
it
in
three
days
.
And the high priest
arose
, and said
unto him
, Answerest thou
nothing
? what
is it which these
witness against
thee
?
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
.
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
.
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
.
What think
ye
? They answered
and
said
, He is
guilty
of death
.
Then did they spit
in
his
face
, and
buffeted
him
; and
others smote him with the palms of their hands
,
Saying, Prophesy
unto us
, thou Christ
, Who
is he
that smote
thee
?
Now Peter
sat
without
in
the palace
: and
a
damsel
came
unto him
, saying
, Thou
also
wast
with
Jesus
of Galilee
.
But he denied
before
them all
, saying
, I know
not
what
thou sayest
.
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
.
And again
he denied
with
an oath
,
I do
not
know
the man
.
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
.
Then began he
to curse
and
to swear
, saying ,
I know
not
the man
. And
immediately
the cock
crew
.
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
.
