¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

² And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ 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?

¹² And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ 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.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

²³ And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

²⁶ 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.

²⁷ 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.

²⁸ Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

³⁰ That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ 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.

³⁷ 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.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴² Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ 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.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ 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.

⁴⁸ But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵⁰ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵² 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?

⁵³ 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.

⁵⁴ Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁵ And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

⁵⁶ 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.

⁵⁷ And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

⁵⁸ And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹ 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.

⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁶¹ 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.

⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

⁶⁴ And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

⁶⁵ And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

⁶⁶ 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,

⁶⁷ Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

⁶⁸ And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

¹ Now ^G1161 the feast ^G1859 of unleavened bread ^G106 drew nigh, ^G1448 which is called ^G3004 the Passover. ^G3957

² And ^G2532 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 scribes ^G1122 sought ^G2212 how ^G4459 they might kill ^G337 him; ^G846 for ^G1063 they feared ^G5399 the people. ^G2992

³ Then ^G1161 entered ^G1525 Satan ^G4567 into ^G1519 Judas ^G2455 surnamed ^G1941 Iscariot, ^G2469 being ^G5607 of ^G1537 the number ^G706 of the twelve. ^G1427

⁴ And ^G2532 he went his way, ^G565 and communed with ^G4814 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 captains, ^G4755 how ^G4459 he might betray ^G3860 him ^G846 unto them. ^G846

⁵ And ^G2532 they were glad, ^G5463 and ^G2532 covenanted ^G4934 to give ^G1325 him ^G846 money. ^G694

⁶ And ^G2532 he promised, ^G1843 and ^G2532 sought ^G2212 opportunity ^G2120 to betray ^G3860 him ^G846 unto them ^G846 in the absence ^G817 of the multitude. ^G3793

⁷ Then ^G1161 came ^G2064 the day ^G2250 of unleavened bread, ^G106 when ^{G1722 G3739} the passover ^G3957 must ^G1163 be killed. ^G2380

⁸ And ^G2532 he sent ^G649 Peter ^G4074 and ^G2532 John, ^G2491 saying, ^G2036 Go ^G4198 and prepare ^G2090 us ^G2254 the passover, ^G3957 that ^G2443 we may eat. ^G5315

⁹ And ^G1161 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Where ^G4226 wilt thou ^G2309 that we prepare? ^G2090

¹⁰ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Behold, ^G2400 when ye ^G5216 are entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 the city, ^G4172 there shall ^G4876 a man ^G444 meet ^G4876 you, ^G5213 bearing ^G941 a pitcher ^G2765 of water; ^G5204 follow ^G190 him ^G846 into ^G1519 the house ^G3614 where ^G3757 he entereth in. ^G1531

¹¹ And ^G2532 ye shall say ^G2046 unto the goodman ^G3617 of the house, ^G3614 The Master ^G1320 saith ^G3004 unto thee, ^G4671 Where ^G4226 is ^G2076 the guestchamber, ^G2646 where ^G3699 I shall eat ^G5315 the passover ^G3957 with ^G3326 my ^G3450 disciples? ^G3101

¹² And ^G2548 he shall shew ^G1166 you ^G5213 a large ^G3173 upper room ^G508 furnished: ^G4766 there ^G1563 make ready. ^G2090

¹³ And ^G1161 they went, ^G565 and found ^G2147 as ^G2531 he had said ^G2046 unto them: ^G846 and ^G2532 they made ready ^G2090 the passover. ^G3957

¹⁴ And ^G2532 when ^G3753 the hour ^G5610 was come, ^G1096 he sat down, ^G377 and ^G2532 the twelve ^G1427 apostles ^G652 with ^G4862 him. ^G846

¹⁵ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 With desire ^G1939 I have desired ^G1937 to eat ^G5315 this ^G5124 passover ^G3957 with ^G3326 you ^G5216 before ^G4253 I ^G3165 suffer: ^G3958

¹⁶ For ^G1063 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^{G5213 G3754} I will ^G5315 not ^G3765 any more ^G3364 eat ^G5315 thereof, ^{G846 G1537} until ^{G2193 G3755} it be fulfilled ^G4137 in ^G1722 the kingdom ^G932 of God. ^G2316

¹⁷ And ^G2532 he took ^G1209 the cup, ^G4221 and gave thanks, ^G2168 and said, ^G2036 Take ^G2983 this, ^G5124 and ^G2532 divide ^G1266 it among yourselves: ^G1438

¹⁸ For ^G1063 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^{G5213 G3754} I will ^G4095 not ^G3364 drink ^G4095 of ^G575 the fruit ^G1081 of the vine, ^G288 until ^{G2193 G3755} the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 shall come. ^G2064

¹⁹ And ^G2532 he took ^G2983 bread, ^G740 and gave thanks, ^G2168 and brake ^G2806 it, and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 unto them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 This ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 body ^G4983 which ^G3588 is given ^G1325 for ^G5228 you: ^G5216 this ^G5124 do ^G4160 in remembrance ^G364 of ^G1519 me. ^G1699

²⁰ Likewise ^G5615 also ^G2532 the cup ^G4221 after ^G3326 supper, ^G1172 saying, ^G3004 This ^G5124 cup ^G4221 is the new ^G2537 testament ^G1242 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 blood, ^G129 which ^G3588 is shed ^G1632 for ^G5228 you. ^G5216

²¹ But, ^G4133 behold, ^G2400 the hand ^G5495 of him that betrayeth ^G3860 me ^G3165 is with ^G3326 me ^G1700 on ^G1909 the table. ^G5132

²² And ^G2532 truly ^G3303 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 goeth, ^G4198 as ^G2596 it was determined: ^G3724 but ^G4133 woe ^G3759 unto that ^G1565 man ^G444 by ^G1223 whom ^G3739 he is betrayed! ^G3860

²³ And ^G2532 they ^G846 began ^G756 to enquire ^G4802 among ^G4314 themselves, ^G1438 which ^{G5101 G686} of ^G1537 them ^G846 it was ^G1498 that should ^G3195 do ^G4238 this thing. ^G5124

²⁴ And ^G1161 there was ^G1096 also ^G2532 a strife ^G5379 among ^G1722 them, ^G846 which ^G5101 of them ^G846 should be accounted ^{G1380 G1511} the greatest. ^G3187

²⁵ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 The kings ^G935 of the Gentiles ^G1484 exercise lordship over ^G2961 them; ^G846 and ^G2532 they that exercise authority upon ^G1850 them ^G846 are called ^G2564 benefactors. ^G2110

²⁶ But ^G1161 ye ^G5210 shall not ^G3756 be so: ^G3779 but ^G235 he that is greatest ^G3187 among ^G1722 you, ^G5213 let him be ^G1096 as ^G5613 the younger; ^G3501 and ^G2532 he that is chief, ^G2233 as ^G5613 he that doth serve. ^G1247

²⁷ For ^G1063 whether ^G5101 is greater, ^G3187 he that sitteth at meat, ^G345 or ^G2228 he that serveth? ^G1247 is not ^G3780 he that sitteth at meat? ^G345 but ^G1161 I ^G1473 am ^G1510 among ^{G1722 G3319} you ^G5216 as ^G5613 he that serveth. ^G1247

^{28 G1161} Ye ^G5210 are ^G2075 they which have continued ^G1265 with ^G3326 me ^G1700 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 temptations. ^G3986

²⁹ And I ^G2504 appoint ^G1303 unto you ^G5213 a kingdom, ^G932 as ^G2531 my ^G3450 Father ^G3962 hath appointed ^G1303 unto me; ^G3427

³⁰ That ^G2443 ye may eat ^G2068 and ^G2532 drink ^G4095 at ^G1909 my ^G3450 table ^G5132 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 kingdom, ^G932 and ^G2532 sit ^G2523 on ^G1909 thrones ^G2362 judging ^G2919 the twelve ^G1427 tribes ^G5443 of Israel. ^G2474

³¹ And ^G1161 the Lord ^G2962 said, ^G2036 Simon, ^G4613 Simon, ^G4613 behold, ^G2400 Satan ^G4567 hath desired ^G1809 to have you, ^G5209 that he may sift ^G4617 you as ^G5613 wheat: ^G4621

³² But ^G1161 I ^G1473 have prayed ^G1189 for ^G4012 thee, ^G4675 that ^G3363 thy ^G4675 faith ^G4102 fail ^G1587 not: ^G3363 and ^G2532 when ^G4218 thou ^G4771 art converted, ^G1994 strengthen ^G4741 thy ^G4675 brethren. ^G80

³³ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Lord, ^G2962 I am ^G1510 ready ^G2092 to go ^G4198 with ^G3326 thee, ^G4675 both ^G2532 into ^G1519 prison, ^G5438 and ^G2532 to ^G1519 death. ^G2288

³⁴ And ^G1161 he said, ^G2036 I tell ^G3004 thee, ^G4671 Peter, ^G4074 the cock ^G220 shall ^G5455 not ^G3364 crow ^G5455 this day, ^G4594 before that ^G4250 thou shalt ^G2228 thrice ^G5151 deny ^G533 that thou ^G3361 knowest ^G1492 me. ^G3165

³⁵ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 When ^G3753 I sent ^G649 you ^G5209 without ^G817 purse, ^G905 and ^G2532 scrip, ^G4082 and ^G2532 shoes, ^{G5266 G3361} lacked ye ^G5302 any thing? ^G5100 And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Nothing. ^G3762

³⁶ Then ^G3767 said he ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 But ^G235 now, ^G3568 he that hath ^G2192 a purse, ^G905 let him take ^G142 it, and ^G2532 likewise ^G3668 his scrip: ^G4082 and ^G2532 he that hath ^G2192 no ^G3361 sword, ^G3162 let him sell ^G4453 his ^G846 garment, ^G2440 and ^G2532 buy ^G59 one.

³⁷ For ^G1063 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 that ^G3754 this ^G5124 that is written ^G1125 must ^G1163 yet ^G2089 be accomplished ^G5055 in ^G1722 me, ^G1698 And ^G2532 he was reckoned ^G3049 among ^G3326 the transgressors: ^G459 for ^{G2532 G1063} the things concerning ^G4012 me ^G1700 have ^G2192 an end. ^G5056

³⁸ And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Lord, ^G2962 behold, ^G2400 here ^G5602 are two ^G1417 swords. ^G3162 And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 It is ^G2076 enough. ^G2425

³⁹ And ^G2532 he came out, ^G1831 and went, ^G4198 as ^G2596 he was wont, ^G1485 to ^G1519 the mount ^G3735 of Olives; ^G1636 and ^G1161 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 also ^G2532 followed ^G190 him. ^G846

⁴⁰ And ^G1161 when he was ^G1096 at ^G1909 the place, ^G5117 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Pray ^G4336 that ye enter ^G1525 not ^G3361 into ^G1519 temptation. ^G3986

⁴¹ And ^G2532 he ^G846 was withdrawn ^G645 from ^G575 them ^G846 about ^G5616 a stone's ^G3037 cast, ^G1000 and ^G2532 kneeled down, ^{G5087 G1119} and prayed, ^G4336

⁴² Saying, ^G3004 Father, ^G3962 if ^G1487 thou be willing, ^G1014 remove ^G3911 this ^G5124 cup ^G4221 from ^G575 me: ^G1700 nevertheless ^G4133 not ^G3361 my ^G3450 will, ^G2307 but ^G235 thine, ^G4674 be done. ^G1096

⁴³ And ^G1161 there appeared ^G3700 an angel ^G32 unto him ^G846 from ^G575 heaven, ^G3772 strengthening ^G1765 him. ^G846

⁴⁴ And ^G2532 being ^G1096 in ^G1722 an agony ^G74 he prayed ^G4336 more earnestly: ^G1617 and ^G1161 his ^G846 sweat ^G2402 was ^G1096 as it were ^G5616 great drops ^G2361 of blood ^G129 falling down ^G2597 to ^G1909 the ground. ^G1093

⁴⁵ And ^G2532 when he rose up ^G450 from ^G575 prayer, ^G4335 and was come ^G2064 to ^G4314 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 he found ^G2147 them ^G846 sleeping ^G2837 for ^G575 sorrow, ^G3077

⁴⁶ And ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Why ^G5101 sleep ye? ^G2518 rise ^G450 and pray, ^G4336 lest ^G3363 ye enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 temptation. ^G3986

⁴⁷ And ^G1161 while he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 behold ^G2400 a multitude, ^G3793 and ^G2532 he that was called ^G3004 Judas, ^G2455 one ^G1520 of the twelve, ^G1427 went before ^G4281 them, ^G846 and ^G2532 drew near ^G1448 unto Jesus ^G2424 to kiss ^G5368 him. ^G846

⁴⁸ But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Judas, ^G2455 betrayest thou ^G3860 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 with a kiss? ^G5370

⁴⁹ When ^G1161 they which were about ^G4012 him ^G846 saw ^G1492 what would follow, ^G2071 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Lord, ^{G2962 G1487} shall we smite ^G3960 with ^G1722 the sword? ^G3162

⁵⁰ And ^G2532 one ^{G1520 G5100} of ^G1537 them ^G846 smote ^G3960 the servant ^G1401 of the high priest, ^G749 and ^G2532 cut off ^G851 his ^G846 right ^G1188 ear. ^G3775

⁵¹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 Suffer ye ^G1439 thus ^G5127 far. ^G2193 And ^G2532 he touched ^G680 his ^G846 ear, ^G5621 and healed ^G2390 him. ^G846

⁵² Then ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the chief priests, ^G749 and ^G2532 captains ^G4755 of the temple, ^G2411 and ^G2532 the elders, ^G4245 which were come ^G3854 to ^G1909 him, ^G846 Be ye come out, ^G1831 as ^G5613 against ^G1909 a thief, ^G3027 with ^G3326 swords ^G3162 and ^G2532 staves? ^G3586

⁵³ When ^G5607 I ^G3450 was ^G5607 daily ^{G2250 G2596} with ^G3326 you ^G5216 in ^G1722 the temple, ^G2411 ye stretched forth ^G1614 no ^G3756 hands ^G5495 against ^G1909 me: ^G1691 but ^G235 this ^G3778 is ^G2076 your ^G5216 hour, ^G5610 and ^G2532 the power ^G1849 of darkness. ^G4655

⁵⁴ Then ^G1161 took they ^G4815 him, ^G846 and led ^G71 him, and ^G2532 brought ^G1521 him ^G846 into ^G1519 the high priest's ^G749 house. ^G3624 And ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 followed ^G190 afar off. ^G3113

⁵⁵ And ^G1161 when they ^G846 had kindled ^G681 a fire ^G4442 in ^G1722 the midst ^G3319 of the hall, ^G833 and ^G2532 were set down together, ^G4776 Peter ^G4074 sat down ^G2521 among ^{G3319 G1722} them. ^G846

⁵⁶ But ^G1161 a certain ^G5100 maid ^G3814 beheld ^G1492 him ^G846 as he sat ^G2521 by ^G4314 the fire, ^G5457 and ^G2532 earnestly looked ^G816 upon him, ^G846 and said, ^G2036 This man ^G3778 was ^G2258 also ^G2532 with ^G4862 him. ^G846

⁵⁷ And ^G1161 he denied ^G720 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Woman, ^G1135 I know ^G1492 him ^G846 not. ^G3756

⁵⁸ And ^G2532 after ^G3326 a little while ^G1024 another ^G2087 saw ^G1492 him, ^G846 and said, ^G5346 Thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 also ^G2532 of ^G1537 them. ^G846 And ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 said, ^G2036 Man, ^G444 I am ^G1510 not. ^G3756

⁵⁹ And ^G2532 about ^G5616 the space ^G1339 of one ^G3391 hour ^G5610 after another ^{G243 G5100} confidently affirmed, ^G1340 saying, ^G3004 Of ^G1909 a truth ^G225 this ^G3778 fellow also ^G2532 was ^G2258 with ^G3326 him: ^G846 for ^{G1063 G2532} he is ^G2076 a Galilaean. ^G1057

⁶⁰ And ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 said, ^G2036 Man, ^G444 I know ^G1492 not ^G3756 what ^G3739 thou sayest. ^G3004 And ^G2532 immediately, ^G3916 while he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 the cock ^G220 crew. ^G5455

⁶¹ And ^G2532 the Lord ^G2962 turned, ^G4762 and looked upon ^G1689 Peter. ^G4074 And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 remembered ^G5279 the word ^G3056 of the Lord, ^G2962 how ^G5613 he had said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Before ^{G3754 G4250} the cock ^G220 crow, ^G5455 thou shalt deny ^G533 me ^G3165 thrice. ^G5151

⁶² And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 went ^G1831 out, ^G1854 and wept ^G2799 bitterly. ^G4090

⁶³ And ^G2532 the men ^G435 that held ^G4912 Jesus ^G2424 mocked ^G1702 him, ^G846 and smote ^G1194 him.

⁶⁴ And ^G2532 when they had blindfolded ^G4028 him, ^G846 they struck ^G5180 him ^G846 on the face, ^G4383 and ^G2532 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Prophesy, ^G4395 who ^G5101 is it ^G2076 that smote ^G3817 thee? ^G4571

⁶⁵ And ^G2532 many ^G4183 other things ^G2087 blasphemously ^G987 spake they ^G3004 against ^G1519 him. ^G846

⁶⁶ And ^G2532 as soon as ^G5613 it was ^G1096 day, ^G2250 the elders ^G4244 of the people ^G2992 and ^G5037 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 the scribes ^G1122 came together, ^G4863 and ^G2532 led ^G321 him ^G846 into ^G1519 their ^G1438 council, ^G4892 saying, ^G3004

^{67 G1487} Art ^G1488 thou ^G4771 the Christ? ^G5547 tell ^G2036 us. ^G2254 And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 If ^G1437 I tell ^G2036 you, ^G5213 ye will ^G4100 not ^G3364 believe: ^G4100

⁶⁸ And ^G1161 if ^G1437 I also ^G2532 ask ^G2065 you, ye will ^G611 not ^G3364 answer ^G611 me, ^G3427 nor ^G2228 let me go. ^G630

⁶⁹ Hereafter ^{G3568 G575} shall ^G2071 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 sit ^G2521 on ^G1537 the right hand ^G1188 of the power ^G1411 of God. ^G2316

⁷⁰ Then ^G1161 said ^G5346 they all, ^G3956 Art ^G1488 thou ^G4771 then ^G3767 the Son ^G5207 of God? ^G2316 And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846 Ye ^G5210 say ^G3004 that ^G3754 I ^G1473 am. ^G1510

⁷¹ And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 What ^G5101 need ^G2192 we ^G5532 any further ^G2089 witness? ^G3141 for ^G1063 we ourselves ^G846 have heard ^G191 of ^G575 his own ^G846 mouth. ^G4750

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

² And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.

³ And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?

¹⁰ And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.

¹¹ And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, `even' that which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

²³ And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.

²⁶ But ye `shall' not `be' so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

²⁸ But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

²⁹ and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

³² but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

³³ And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was parted from them about a stone's cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³ And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸ But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵⁰ And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye `them' thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴ And they seized him, and led him `away', and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁵ And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.

⁵⁶ And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light `of the fire', and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.

⁵⁷ But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.

⁵⁸ And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art `one' of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹ And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.

⁶⁰ But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶² And he went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men that held `Jesus' mocked him, and beat him.

⁶⁴ And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?

⁶⁵ And many other things spake they against him, reviling him.

⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,

⁶⁷ If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

⁶⁸ and if I ask `you', ye will not answer.

⁶⁹ But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

¹ And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover,

² and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.

³ And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

⁴ and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

⁵ and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

⁶ and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.

⁷ And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁸ and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'

⁹ and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'

¹⁰ And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹² and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'

¹³ and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,

¹⁵ and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

¹⁶ for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'

¹⁷ And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,

¹⁸ for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'

¹⁹ And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye -- to remembrance of me.'

²⁰ In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup `is' the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

²¹ `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up `is' with me on the table,

²² and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'

²³ And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

²⁴ And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them is accounted to be greater.

²⁵ And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁶ but ye `are' not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

²⁷ for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

²⁸ `And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹ and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰ that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

³³ And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'

³⁴ and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

³⁵ And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, `Nothing.'

³⁶ Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take `it' up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

³⁷ for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'

³⁸ And they said, `Sir, lo, here `are' two swords;' and he said to them, `It is sufficient.'

³⁹ And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

⁴⁰ and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.'

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

⁴² saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me --; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' --

⁴³ And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

⁴⁴ and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶ and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'

⁴⁷ And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,

⁴⁸ and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'

⁴⁹ And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'

⁵⁰ And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,

⁵¹ and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?

⁵³ while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

⁵⁴ And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off,

⁵⁵ and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them,

⁵⁶ and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!'

⁵⁷ and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.'

⁵⁸ And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.'

⁵⁹ And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'

⁶⁰ and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew.

⁶¹ And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'

⁶² and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating `him';

⁶⁴ and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?'

⁶⁵ and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.

⁶⁶ And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim,

⁶⁷ saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

⁶⁸ and if I also question `you', ye will not answer me or send me away;

⁶⁹ henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.'

⁷⁰ And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say `it', because I am;'

⁷¹ and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear `it' from his mouth.'

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread, which [is] called the passover, drew nigh,

² and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁵ And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat [it].

⁹ But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare [it]?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the [twelve] apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹ And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table;

²² and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²³ And *they* began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be [the] greatest.

²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But *ye* [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

²⁷ For which [is] greater, he that is at table or he that serves? [Is] not he that is at table? But *I* am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁸ But *ye* are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And *I* appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift [you] as wheat;

³² but *I* have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and *thou*, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, [the] cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

³⁷ for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: -- but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

⁴⁵ And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?

⁵⁰ And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

⁵¹ And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

⁵³ When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

⁵⁴ And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

⁵⁵ And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁶ And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.

⁵⁷ But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.

⁵⁸ And after a short time another seeing him said, And *thou* art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹ And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.

⁶¹ And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶² And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men who held him mocked him, beating [him];

⁶⁴ and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

⁶⁵ And they said many other injurious things to him.

⁶⁶ And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both [the] chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

⁶⁷ If *thou* art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

⁶⁸ and if I should ask [you], ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go;

⁶⁹ but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ And they all said, *Thou* then art the Son of God? And he said to them, *Ye* say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth?

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

² The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

³ Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

⁴ He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

⁹ They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"

¹⁰ He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."

¹³ They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵ He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."

¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes."

¹⁹ He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me."

²⁰ Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²² The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"

²³ They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'

²⁶ But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.

²⁸ But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

³¹ The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}."

³³ He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

³⁴ He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

³⁵ He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."

³⁶ Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'He was counted with the lawless.' For that which concerns me has an end."

³⁸ They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."

³⁹ He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don't enter into temptation."

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

⁴⁹ When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

⁵⁰ A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this"--and he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵² Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

⁵³ When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

⁵⁴ They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.

⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁶ A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."

⁵⁷ He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don't know him."

⁵⁸ After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

⁵⁹ After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"

⁶⁰ But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

⁶¹ The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times."

⁶² He went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³ The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

⁶⁴ Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?"

⁶⁵ They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

⁶⁶ As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

⁶⁷ "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,

⁶⁸ and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.

⁶⁹ From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

⁷⁰ They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say it, because I AM."

⁷¹ They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"

---

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.

² And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

³ And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.

⁶ And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.

⁸ And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

⁹ And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

¹⁰ And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

¹¹ And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

¹⁴ And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

¹⁶ For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

¹⁹ And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁰ And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

²¹ But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

²² For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

²³ And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

²⁵ And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

²⁶ But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

²⁷ For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

²⁸ But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

²⁹ And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

³⁰ So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

⁴¹ And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

⁴² Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

⁴³ And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

⁴⁴ And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

⁴⁵ And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

⁴⁷ And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

⁵⁰ And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.

⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

⁵³ When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

⁵⁴ And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

⁵⁵ And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

⁵⁶ And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

⁵⁷ But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

⁵⁸ And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹ And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

⁶¹ And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

⁶² And he went out, weeping bitterly.

⁶³ And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.

⁶⁴ And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?

⁶⁵ And they said a number of other evil things against him.

⁶⁶ And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

⁶⁷ If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;

⁶⁸ And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.

⁶⁹ But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.
