1After 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.β2But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.β3And 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.β4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?β5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.β6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.β7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.β8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.β9Verily 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.β10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.β11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.β12And 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?β13And 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.β14And 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?β15And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.β16And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.β17And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.β18And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.β19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?β20And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.β21The 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.β22And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.β23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.β24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.β25Verily 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.β26And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.β27And 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.β28But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.β29But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.β30And 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.β31But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.β32And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.β33And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;β34And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.β35And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.β36And 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.β37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?β38Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.β39And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.β40And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.β41And 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.β42Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.β43And 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.β44And 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.β45And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.β46And they laid their hands on him, and took him.β47And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.β48And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?β49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.β50And they all forsook him, and fled.β51And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:β52And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.β53And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.β54And 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.β55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.β56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.β57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,β58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.β59But neither so did their witness agree together.β60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?β61But 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?β62And 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.β63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?β64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.β65And 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.β66And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:β67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.β68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.β69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.β70And 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.β71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.β72And 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.β
