1 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. 2 But they said, Not
on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. 3 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. 4 And there were some
that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the
ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three
hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6 And
Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath
wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have
the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye
have not always. 8 She hath done what she
could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9 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. 10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the
chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11 And when they heard it,
they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might
conveniently betray him.
12 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? 13 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.
14 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? 15 And
he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make
ready for us. 16 And his disciples went forth, and came into
the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 17 And
in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 18 And as they sat and did
eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which
eateth with me shall betray me. 19 And they began to be
sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said,
Is it I? 20 And he answered and said unto them, It
is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in
the dish. 21 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. 22 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. 23 And
he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and
they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This
is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 25 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. 26 And when they had
sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 27 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. 28 But after that I am risen,
I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said unto him,
Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 30 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. 31 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.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and
he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall
pray. 33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and
began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them,
My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here,
and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the
ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 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. 37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith
unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch
one hour? 38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye
enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is
weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same
words. 40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their
eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. 41 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. 42 Rise
up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 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. 44 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. 45 And as soon as he was
come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. 46 And
they laid their hands on him, and took him. 47 And one of them that
stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his
ear. 48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are
ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching,
and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 50 And
they all forsook him, and fled. 51 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: 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled
from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him
were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54 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. 55 And the chief
priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to
death; and found none. 56 For many bare false witness against him, but
their witness agreed not together. 57 And there arose certain, and
bare false witness against him, saying, 58 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. 59 But neither so did their witness agree
together. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked
Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
against thee? 61 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? 62 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. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and
saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the
blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65 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.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one
of the maids of the high priest: 67 And when she saw Peter warming
himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of
Nazareth. 68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I
what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69 And
a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one
of them. 70 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. 71 But he began to
curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72 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.
