[1] And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his
disciples, [2] After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be
given up to the death of the cross. [3] Then the chief priests and the
rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was
named Caiaphas. [4] And they made designs together to take Jesus by some
trick, and put him to death. [5] But they said, Not while the feast is
going on, for fear of trouble among the people. [6] Now when Jesus was in
Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, [7] There came to him a woman
having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his
head when he was seated at table. [8] But when the disciples saw it they
were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste? [9] For we might have
got much money for this and given it to the poor. [10] But Jesus, seeing
it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act
to me. [11] For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for
ever. [12] For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me
ready for my last resting-place. [13] Truly I say to you, Wherever this
good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be
talked of in memory of her. [14] Then one of the twelve, who was named
Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, [15] What will you give
me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of
silver. [16] And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him
into their hands. [17] Now on the first day of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take
the Passover meal? [18] And he said to them, Go into the town to such a
man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the
Passover at your house with my disciples. [19] And the disciples did as
Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover. [20] Now when
evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples; [21]
And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of
you will be false to me. [22] And they were very said, and said to him, one
by one, Is it I, Lord? [23] And he made answer and said, He who puts his
hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me. [24] The Son of
man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man
through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that
man if he had never come into the world. [25] And Judas, who was false to
him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes. [26] And
when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he
gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.
[27] And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them,
saying, [28] Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament,
which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins. [29] But I say to you
that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when
I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom. [30] And after a song of
praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives. [31] Then said
Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is
said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the
sheep of the flock will be put to flight. [32] But after I am come back
from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee. [33] But Peter made
answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will
never be turned away. [34] Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this
night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you
have no knowledge of me. [35] Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death
with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples. [36] Then
comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his
disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer. [37] And he
took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very
troubled. [38] Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death:
keep watch with me here. [39] And he went forward a little, and falling
down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let
this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done. [40] And
he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to
Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour? [41] Keep
watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly
is ready, but the flesh is feeble. [42] Again, a second time he went away,
and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my
taking it, let your pleasure be done. [43] And he came again and saw them
sleeping, for their eyes were tired. [44] And he went away from them again,
and a third time said the same prayer. [45] Then he comes to the disciples;
and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is
come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men. [46] Up, let
us be going: see, he who gives me up is near. [47] And while he was still
talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with
swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the
people. [48] Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to
whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him. [49] And straight away he came to
Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss. [50] And Jesus said to him,
Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on
Jesus, and took him. [51] And one of those who were with Jesus put out his
hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a
blow, cutting off his ear. [52] Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword
again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death
by the sword. [53] Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request
to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels? [54] But how then
would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be? [55] In that
hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with
swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and
you took me not. [56] But all this has taken place so that the writings of
the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in
flight. [57] And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the
house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in
authority over the people had come together. [58] But Peter went after him
at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his
seat with the servants, to see the end. [59] Now the chief priests and all
the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they
might put him to death; [60] And they were not able to get it, though a
number of false witnesses came. [61] But later there came two who said,
This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to
put it up again in three days. [62] And the high priest got up and said to
him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you? [63] But
Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath,
by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son
of God. [64] Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you
will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on
the clouds of heaven. [65] Then the high priest, violently parting his
robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of
witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears: [66] What
is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put
to death. [67] Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some
gave him blows, saying, [68] Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a
blow! [69] Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a
servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean. [70]
But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge
of what you say. [71] And when he had gone out into the doorway, another
saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the
Nazarene. [72] And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the
man. [73] And after a little time those who were near came and said to
Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
[74] Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man.
And straight away there came the cry of a cock. [75] And the word of Jesus
came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you
will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out,
weeping bitterly.
