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.

¹ After ^G1161 two ^G1417 days ^G2250 was ^G2258 the feast of the passover, ^G3957 and ^G2532 of ^G3326 unleavened bread: ^G106 and ^G2532 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 the scribes ^G1122 sought ^G2212 how ^G4459 they might take ^G2902 him ^G846 by ^G1722 craft, ^G1388 and put him to death. ^G615

² But ^G1161 they said, ^G3004 Not ^G3361 on ^G1722 the feast ^G1859 day, lest ^G3379 there be ^G2071 an uproar ^G2351 of the people. ^G2992

³ And ^G2532 being ^{G846 G5607} in ^G1722 Bethany ^G963 in ^G1722 the house ^G3614 of Simon ^G4613 the leper, ^G3015 as he ^G846 sat at meat, ^G2621 there came ^G2064 a woman ^G1135 having ^G2192 an alabaster box ^G211 of ointment ^G3464 of spikenard ^{G3487 G4101} very precious; ^G4185 and ^G2532 she brake ^G4937 the box, ^G211 and poured ^G2708 it on ^G2596 his ^G846 head. ^G2776

⁴ And ^G1161 there were ^G2258 some ^G5100 that had indignation ^G23 within ^G4314 themselves, ^G1438 and ^G2532 said, ^G3004 Why ^{G1519 G5101} was ^G1096 this ^G3778 waste ^G684 of the ointment ^G3464 made? ^G1096

⁵ For ^G1063 it ^G5124 might ^G1410 have been sold ^G4097 for more than ^G1883 three hundred ^G5145 pence, ^G1220 and ^G2532 have been given ^G1325 to the poor. ^G4434 And ^G2532 they murmured against ^G1690 her. ^G846

⁶ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Let ^G863 her ^G846 alone; ^G863 why ^G5101 trouble ye ^{G2873 G3930} her? ^G846 she hath wrought ^G2038 a good ^G2570 work ^G2041 on ^G1519 me. ^G1691

⁷ For ^G1063 ye have ^G2192 the poor ^G4434 with ^G3326 you ^G1438 always, ^G3842 and ^G2532 whensoever ^G3752 ye will ^G2309 ye may ^G1410 do ^G4160 them ^G846 good: ^G2095 but ^G1161 me ^G1691 ye have ^G2192 not ^G3756 always. ^G3842

⁸ She hath done ^G4160 what ^G3739 she ^{G3778 G846} could: ^G2192 she is come aforehand ^G4301 to anoint ^G3462 my ^G3450 body ^G4983 to ^G1519 the burying. ^G1780

⁹ Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Wheresoever ^{G3699 G302} this ^G5124 gospel ^G2098 shall be preached ^G2784 throughout ^G1519 the whole ^G3650 world, ^G2889 this also ^G2532 that ^G3739 she ^{G3778 G846} hath done ^G4160 shall be spoken ^G2980 of for ^G1519 a memorial ^G3422 of her. ^G846

¹⁰ And ^G2532 Judas ^G2455 Iscariot, ^G2469 one ^G1520 of the twelve, ^G1427 went ^G565 unto ^G4314 the chief priests, ^G749 to ^G2443 betray ^G3860 him ^G846 unto them. ^G846

¹¹ And ^G1161 when they heard ^G191 it, they were glad, ^G5463 and ^G2532 promised ^G1861 to give ^G1325 him ^G846 money. ^G694 And ^G2532 he sought ^G2212 how ^G4459 he might conveniently ^G2122 betray ^G3860 him. ^G846

¹² And ^G2532 the first ^G4413 day ^G2250 of unleavened bread, ^G106 when ^G3753 they killed ^G2380 the passover, ^G3957 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Where ^G4226 wilt thou ^G2309 that we go ^G565 and prepare ^G2090 that ^G2443 thou mayest eat ^G5315 the passover? ^G3957

¹³ And ^G2532 he sendeth forth ^G649 two ^G1417 of his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Go ye ^G5217 into ^G1519 the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 there shall meet ^G528 you ^G5213 a man ^G444 bearing ^G941 a pitcher ^G2765 of water: ^G5204 follow ^G190 him. ^G846

¹⁴ And ^G2532 wheresoever ^{G3699 G1437} he shall go in, ^G1525 say ye ^G2036 to the goodman of the house, ^{G3617 G3754} The Master ^G1320 saith, ^G3004 Where ^G4226 is ^G2076 the guestchamber, ^G2646 where ^G3699 I shall eat ^G5315 the passover ^G3957 with ^G3326 my ^G3450 disciples? ^G3101

¹⁵ And ^G2532 he ^G846 will shew ^G1166 you ^G5213 a large ^G3173 upper room ^G508 furnished ^G4766 and prepared: ^G2092 there ^G1563 make ready ^G2090 for us. ^G2254

¹⁶ And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 went forth, ^G1831 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 into ^G1519 the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 found ^G2147 as ^G2531 he had said ^G2036 unto them: ^G846 and ^G2532 they made ready ^G2090 the passover. ^G3957

¹⁷ And ^G2532 in ^G1096 the evening ^G3798 he cometh ^G2064 with ^G3326 the twelve. ^G1427

¹⁸ And ^G2532 as they ^G846 sat ^G345 and ^G2532 did eat, ^G2068 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^{G5213 G3754} One ^G1520 of ^G1537 you ^G5216 which ^G3588 eateth ^G2068 with ^G3326 me ^G1700 shall betray ^G3860 me. ^G3165

¹⁹ And ^G1161 they began ^G756 to be sorrowful, ^G3076 and to ^G2532 say ^G3004 unto him ^G846 one by one, ^{G1527 G3385} Is it I? ^G1473 and ^G2532 another ^G243 said, ^G3385 Is it I? ^G1473

²⁰ And ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 It is one ^G1520 of ^G1537 the twelve, ^G1427 that dippeth ^G1686 with ^G3326 me ^G1700 in ^G1519 the dish. ^G5165

²¹ The Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 indeed ^G3303 goeth, ^G5217 as ^G2531 it is written ^G1125 of ^G4012 him: ^G846 but ^G1161 woe ^G3759 to that ^G1565 man ^G444 by ^G1223 whom ^G3739 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is betrayed! ^G3860 good ^G2570 were it ^G2258 for that ^G1565 man ^G444 if ^G1487 he ^G846 had ^G1080 never ^G3756 been born. ^G1080

²² And ^G2532 as they ^G846 did eat, ^G2068 Jesus ^G2424 took ^G2983 bread, ^G740 and blessed, ^G2127 and brake ^G2806 it, and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 to them, ^G846 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Take, ^G2983 eat: ^G5315 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 body. ^G4983

²³ And ^G2532 he took ^G2983 the cup, ^G4221 and when he had given thanks, ^G2168 he gave ^G1325 it to them: ^G846 and ^G2532 they all ^G3956 drank ^G4095 of ^G1537 it. ^G846

²⁴ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 This ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 blood ^G129 of the new ^G2537 testament, ^G1242 which ^G3588 is shed ^G1632 for ^G4012 many. ^G4183

²⁵ Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 I will ^G3364 drink ^G4095 no more ^{G3754 G3765} of ^G1537 the fruit ^G1081 of the vine, ^G288 until ^G2193 that ^G1565 day ^G2250 that ^G3752 I drink ^G4095 it ^G846 new ^G2537 in ^G1722 the kingdom ^G932 of God. ^G2316

²⁶ And ^G2532 when they had sung an hymn, ^G5214 they went out ^G1831 into ^G1519 the mount ^G3735 of Olives. ^G1636

²⁷ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^{G846 G3754} All ye ^G3956 shall be offended ^G4624 because of ^G1722 me ^{G1722 G1698} this ^G5026 night: ^G3571 for ^G3754 it is written, ^G1125 I will smite ^G3960 the shepherd, ^G4166 and ^G2532 the sheep ^G4263 shall be scattered. ^G1287

²⁸ But ^G235 after ^G3326 that I ^G3165 am risen, ^G1453 I will go before ^G4254 you ^G5209 into ^G1519 Galilee. ^G1056

²⁹ But ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 said ^G5346 unto him, ^G846 Although ^{G2532 G1487} all ^G3956 shall be offended, ^G4624 yet ^G235 will not ^G3756 I. ^G1473

³⁰ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto thee, ^G4671 That ^G3754 this day, ^G4594 even in ^G1722 this ^G5026 night, ^G3571 before ^{G4250 G2228} the cock ^G220 crow ^G5455 twice, ^G1364 thou shalt deny ^G533 me ^G3165 thrice. ^G5151

³¹ But ^G1161 he spake ^G3004 the more ^G3123 vehemently, ^{G1537 G4053} If ^G1437 I ^G3165 should ^G1163 die with ^G4880 thee, ^G4671 I will not ^G3364 deny ^G533 thee ^G4571 in any wise. ^G3364 Likewise ^G5615 also ^{G1161 G2532} said they ^G3004 all. ^G3956

³² And ^G2532 they came ^G2064 to ^G1519 a place ^G5564 which ^G3739 was named ^G3686 Gethsemane: ^G1068 and ^G2532 he saith ^G3004 to his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 Sit ye ^G2523 here, ^G5602 while ^G2193 I shall pray. ^G4336

³³ And ^G2532 he taketh ^G3880 with ^G3326 him ^G1438 Peter ^G4074 and ^G2532 James ^G2385 and ^G2532 John, ^G2491 and ^G2532 began ^G756 to be sore amazed, ^G1568 and ^G2532 to be very heavy; ^G85

³⁴ And ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 My ^G3450 soul ^G5590 is ^G2076 exceeding sorrowful ^G4036 unto ^G2193 death: ^G2288 tarry ye ^G3306 here, ^G5602 and ^G2532 watch. ^G1127

³⁵ And ^G2532 he went forward ^G4281 a little, ^G3397 and fell ^G4098 on ^G1909 the ground, ^G1093 and ^G2532 prayed ^G4336 that, ^G2443 if ^G1487 it were ^G2076 possible, ^G1415 the hour ^G5610 might pass ^G3928 from ^G575 him. ^G846

³⁶ And ^G2532 he said, ^G3004 Abba, ^G5 Father, ^G3962 all things ^G3956 are possible ^G1415 unto thee; ^G4671 take away ^G3911 this ^G5124 cup ^G4221 from ^G575 me: ^G1700 nevertheless ^G235 not ^G3756 what ^G5101 I ^G1473 will, ^G2309 but ^G235 what ^G5101 thou ^G4771 wilt.

³⁷ And ^G2532 he cometh, ^G2064 and ^G2532 findeth ^G2147 them ^G846 sleeping, ^G2518 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto Peter, ^G4074 Simon, ^G4613 sleepest thou? ^G2518 couldest ^G2480 not ^G3756 thou watch ^G1127 one ^G3391 hour? ^G5610

³⁸ Watch ye ^G1127 and ^G2532 pray, ^G4336 lest ^G3363 ye enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 temptation. ^G3986 The spirit ^G4151 truly ^G3303 is ready, ^G4289 but ^G1161 the flesh ^G4561 is weak. ^G772

³⁹ And ^G2532 again ^G3825 he went away, ^G565 and prayed, ^G4336 and spake ^G2036 the same ^G846 words. ^G3056

⁴⁰ And ^G2532 when he returned, ^G5290 he found ^G2147 them ^G846 asleep ^G2518 again, ^G3825 (for ^G1063 their ^G846 eyes ^G3788 were ^G2258 heavy,) ^G916 neither ^{G2532 G3756} wist they ^G1492 what ^G5101 to answer ^G611 him. ^G846

⁴¹ And ^G2532 he cometh ^G2064 the third time, ^G5154 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Sleep on ^G2518 now, ^G3063 and ^G2532 take your rest: ^G373 it is enough, ^G566 the hour ^G5610 is come; ^G2064 behold, ^G2400 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 is betrayed ^G3860 into ^G1519 the hands ^G5495 of sinners. ^G268

⁴² Rise up, ^G1453 let us go; ^G71 lo, ^G2400 he that betrayeth ^G3860 me ^G3165 is at hand. ^G1448

⁴³ And ^G2532 immediately, ^G2112 while he ^G846 yet ^G2089 spake, ^G2980 cometh ^G3854 Judas, ^G2455 one ^{G1520 G5607} of the twelve, ^G1427 and ^G2532 with ^G3326 him ^G846 a great ^G4183 multitude ^G3793 with ^G3326 swords ^G3162 and ^G2532 staves, ^G3586 from ^G3844 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 the scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 the elders. ^G4245

⁴⁴ And ^G1161 he that betrayed ^G3860 him ^G846 had given ^G1325 them ^G846 a token, ^G4953 saying, ^G3004 Whomsoever ^{G3739 G302} I shall kiss, ^G5368 that same ^G846 is he; ^G2076 take ^G2902 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 lead him away ^G520 safely. ^G806

⁴⁵ And ^G2532 as soon as he was come, ^G2064 he goeth ^G4334 straightway ^G2112 to him, ^G846 and saith, ^G3004 Master, ^G4461 master; ^G4461 and ^G2532 kissed ^G2705 him. ^G846

⁴⁶ And ^G1161 they laid ^G1911 their ^G846 hands ^G5495 on ^G1909 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 took ^G2902 him. ^G846

⁴⁷ And ^G1161 one ^G5100 of them ^G1520 that stood by ^G3936 drew ^G4685 a sword, ^G3162 and smote ^G3817 a servant ^G1401 of the high priest, ^G749 and ^G2532 cut off ^G851 his ^G846 ear. ^G5621

⁴⁸ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Are ye come out, ^G1831 as ^G5613 against ^G1909 a thief, ^G3027 with ^G3326 swords ^G3162 and ^G2532 with staves ^G3586 to take ^G4815 me? ^G3165

⁴⁹ I was ^G2252 daily ^{G2250 G2596} with ^G4314 you ^G5209 in ^G1722 the temple ^G2411 teaching, ^G1321 and ^G2532 ye took ^G2902 me ^G3165 not: ^G3756 but ^G235 the scriptures ^G1124 must ^G2443 be fulfilled. ^G4137

⁵⁰ And ^G2532 they all ^G3956 forsook ^G863 him, ^G846 and fled. ^G5343

⁵¹ And ^G2532 there followed ^G190 him ^G846 a ^G1520 certain ^G5100 young man, ^G3495 having a linen cloth ^G4616 cast ^G4016 about ^G1909 his naked ^G1131 body; and ^G2532 the young men ^G3495 laid hold ^G2902 on him: ^G846

⁵² And ^G1161 he left ^G2641 the linen cloth, ^G4616 and fled ^G5343 from ^G575 them ^G846 naked. ^G1131

⁵³ And ^G2532 they led ^G520 Jesus ^G2424 away ^G520 to ^G4314 the high priest: ^G749 and ^G2532 with him ^G846 were assembled ^G4905 all ^G3956 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 the elders ^G4245 and ^G2532 the scribes. ^G1122

⁵⁴ And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 followed ^G190 him ^G846 afar ^G3113 off, ^G575 even ^G2193 into ^{G2080 G1519} the palace ^G833 of the high priest: ^G749 and ^G2532 he sat ^{G2258 G4775} with ^G3326 the servants, ^G5257 and ^G2532 warmed himself ^G2328 at ^G4314 the fire. ^G5457

⁵⁵ And ^G1161 the chief priests ^G749 and ^G2532 all ^G3650 the council ^G4892 sought ^G2212 for witness ^G3141 against ^G2596 Jesus ^G2424 to ^G1519 put ^G2289 him ^G846 to death; ^G2289 and ^G2532 found ^G2147 none. ^G3756

⁵⁶ For ^G1063 many ^G4183 bare false witness ^G5576 against ^G2596 him, ^G846 but ^G2532 their witness ^G3141 agreed ^G2258 not ^{G2470 G3756} together. ^G2258

⁵⁷ And ^G2532 there arose ^G450 certain, ^G5100 and bare false witness ^G5576 against ^G2596 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004

^{58 G3754} We ^G2249 heard ^G191 him ^G846 say, ^{G3004 G3754} I ^G1473 will destroy ^G2647 this ^G5126 temple ^G3485 that is made with hands, ^G5499 and ^G2532 within ^G1223 three ^G5140 days ^G2250 I will build ^G3618 another ^G243 made without hands. ^G886

⁵⁹ But ^G2532 neither ^G3761 so ^G3779 did ^G2470 their ^G846 witness ^G3141 agree together. ^{G2258 G2470}

⁶⁰ And ^G2532 the high priest ^G749 stood up ^G450 in ^G1519 the midst, ^G3319 and asked ^G1905 Jesus, ^G2424 saying, ^G3004 Answerest ^G3756 thou ^G611 nothing? ^G3762 what ^G5101 is it which these ^G3778 witness ^G2649 against thee? ^G4675

⁶¹ But ^G1161 he held his peace, ^G4623 and ^G2532 answered ^G611 nothing. ^G3762 Again ^G3825 the high priest ^G749 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Art ^G1488 thou ^G4771 the Christ, ^G5547 the Son ^G5207 of the Blessed? ^G2128

⁶² And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 I ^G1473 am: ^G1510 and ^G2532 ye shall see ^G3700 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 sitting ^G2521 on ^G1537 the right hand ^G1188 of power, ^G1411 and ^G2532 coming ^G2064 in ^G3326 the clouds ^G3507 of heaven. ^G3772

⁶³ Then ^G1161 the high priest ^G749 rent ^G1284 his ^G846 clothes, ^G5509 and saith, ^G3004 What ^G5101 need ^G5532 we ^G2192 any further ^G2089 witnesses? ^G3144

⁶⁴ Ye have heard ^G191 the blasphemy: ^G988 what ^G5101 think ^G5316 ye? ^G5213 And ^G1161 they all ^G3956 condemned ^G2632 him ^G846 to be ^G1511 guilty ^G1777 of death. ^G2288

⁶⁵ And ^G2532 some ^G5100 began ^G756 to spit ^G1716 on him, ^G846 and ^G2532 to cover ^G4028 his ^G846 face, ^G4383 and ^G2532 to buffet ^G2852 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 to say ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Prophesy: ^G4395 and ^G2532 the servants ^G5257 did strike ^G906 him ^G846 with the palms of their hands. ^G4475

⁶⁶ And ^G2532 as Peter ^G4074 was ^G5607 beneath ^G2736 in ^G1722 the palace, ^G833 there cometh ^G2064 one ^G3391 of the maids ^G3814 of the high priest: ^G749

⁶⁷ And ^G2532 when she saw ^G1492 Peter ^G4074 warming himself, ^G2328 she looked ^G1689 upon him, ^G846 and said, ^G3004 And ^G2532 thou ^G4771 also ^G2532 wast ^G2258 with ^G3326 Jesus ^G2424 of Nazareth. ^G3479

⁶⁸ But ^G1161 he denied, ^G720 saying, ^G3004 I know ^G1492 not, ^G3756 neither ^G3761 understand I ^G1987 what ^G5101 thou ^G4771 sayest. ^G3004 And ^G2532 he went ^G1831 out ^G1854 into ^G1519 the porch; ^G4259 and ^G2532 the cock ^G220 crew. ^G5455

⁶⁹ And ^G2532 a maid ^G3814 saw ^G1492 him ^G846 again, ^G3825 and began ^G756 to say ^G3004 to them that stood by, ^G3936 This ^{G3754 G3778} is ^G2076 one of ^G1537 them. ^G846

⁷⁰ And ^G1161 he denied it ^G720 again. ^G3825 And ^G2532 a little ^G3397 after, ^G3326 they that stood by ^G3936 said ^G3004 again ^G3825 to Peter, ^G4074 Surely ^G230 thou art ^G1488 one of ^G1537 them: ^G846 for ^{G2532 G1063} thou art ^G1488 a Galilaean, ^G1057 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 speech ^G2981 agreeth ^G3662 thereto.

⁷¹ But ^G1161 he began ^G756 to curse ^G332 and ^G2532 to swear, ^G3660 saying, I know ^{G3754 G1492} not ^G3756 this ^G5126 man ^G444 of whom ^G3739 ye speak. ^G3004

⁷² And ^G2532 the ^G1537 second time ^G1208 the cock ^G220 crew. ^G5455 And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 called to mind ^G363 the word ^G4487 that ^G3739 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^{G846 G3754} Before ^G4250 the cock ^G220 crow ^G5455 twice, ^G1364 thou shalt deny ^G533 me ^G3165 thrice. ^G5151 And ^G2532 when he thought thereon, ^G1911 he wept. ^G2799

¹ Now after two days was `the feast of' the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:

² for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

³ And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; `and' she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.

⁴ But there were some that had indignation among themselves, `saying', To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?

⁵ For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

⁷ For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.

⁸ She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁹ And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.

¹¹ And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him `unto them'.

¹² And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?

¹³ And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;

¹⁴ and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹⁵ And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished `and' ready: and there make ready for us.

¹⁶ And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷ And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve.

¹⁸ And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, `even' he that eateth with me.

¹⁹ They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?

²⁰ And he said unto them, `It is' one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.

²¹ For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

²² And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.

²³ And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.

²⁴ And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

²⁷ And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

²⁸ Howbeit, after I am raised up, 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 thou to-day, `even' this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.

³¹ But he spake exceedingly vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.

³² And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.

³³ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

³⁴ And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide 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 away from him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹ And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not 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 Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

⁴³ And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

⁴⁴ Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁵ And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.

⁴⁶ And they laid hands on him, and took him.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but `this is done' that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

⁵⁰ And they all left him, and fled.

⁵¹ And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over `his' naked `body': and they lay hold on him;

⁵² but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.

⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

⁵⁴ And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light `of the fire'.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.

⁵⁶ For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.

⁵⁷ And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.

⁵⁹ And not even 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 saith 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 at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³ And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy 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 officers received him with blows of their hands.

⁶⁶ And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;

⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, `even' Jesus.

⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

⁶⁹ And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is `one' of them.

⁷⁰ But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art `one' of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

⁷¹ But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

⁷² And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

---

¹ And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

² and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.'

³ And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

⁴ and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

⁵ for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.

⁶ And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;

⁷ for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

⁸ what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

⁹ Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

¹⁰ And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,

¹¹ and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

¹² And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, `that,' having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'

¹³ And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;

¹⁴ and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house -- The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

¹⁵ and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared -- there make ready for us.'

¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷ And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,

¹⁸ and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, `Verily I say to you -- one of you, who is eating with me -- shall deliver me up.'

¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, `Is it I?' and another, `Is it I?'

²⁰ And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

²¹ the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'

²² And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, `Take, eat; this is my body.'

²³ And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it -- all;

²⁴ and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;

²⁵ verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.'

²⁶ And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,

²⁷ and Jesus saith to them -- `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

²⁸ but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'

²⁹ And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

³¹ And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee -- I will in nowise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

³² And they come to a spot, the name of which `is' Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I may pray;'

³³ and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

³⁴ and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul -- to death; remain here, and watch.'

³⁵ And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

³⁶ and he said, `Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, `Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

³⁹ And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;

⁴⁰ and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

⁴¹ And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

⁴² rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.'

⁴³ And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

⁴⁴ and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'

⁴⁵ and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.

⁴⁶ And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

⁴⁷ and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!

⁴⁹ daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'

⁵⁰ And having left him they all fled;

⁵¹ and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about `his' naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

⁵² and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

⁵³ And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;

⁵⁴ and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

⁵⁶ for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

⁵⁷ And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying --

⁵⁸ `We heard him saying -- I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;'

⁵⁹ and neither so was their testimony alike.

⁶⁰ And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?'

⁶¹ and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to 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 the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.'

⁶³ And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, `What need have we yet of witnesses?

⁶⁴ Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,

⁶⁵ and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

⁶⁶ And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,

⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, `And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'

⁶⁸ and he denied, saying, `I have not known `him', neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

⁶⁹ And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near -- `This is of them;'

⁷⁰ and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, `Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'

⁷¹ and he began to anathematize, and to swear -- `I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'

⁷² and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- `Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping.

---

¹ Now the passover and the [feast of] unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him.

² For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people.

³ And when he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he lay at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it out upon his head.

⁴ And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?

⁵ for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;

⁷ for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.

⁸ What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.

⁹ And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this [woman] has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them;

¹¹ and they, when they heard it, rejoiced, and promised him to give money. And he sought how he could opportunely deliver him up.

¹² And the first day of unleavened bread, when they slew the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?

¹³ And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

¹⁴ And wheresoever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹⁵ and *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished ready. There make ready for us.

¹⁶ And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷ And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve.

¹⁸ And as they lay at table and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you shall deliver me up; he who is eating with me.

¹⁹ And they began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, Is it *I*? [and another, Is it *I*?]

²⁰ But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²¹ The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; [it were] good for that man if he had not been born.

²² And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke [it], and gave [it] to them, and said, Take [this]: this is my body.

²³ And having taken [the] cup, when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them, and they all drank out of it.

²⁴ And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many.

²⁵ Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

²⁷ And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

²⁸ But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹ But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet not *I*.

³⁰ And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before [the] cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.

³¹ But he said [so much] exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.

³² And they come to a place of which the name [is] Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.

³³ And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.

³⁴ And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.

³⁵ And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what *I* will, but what *thou* [wilt].

³⁷ And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh weak.

³⁹ And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.

⁴⁰ And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.

⁴¹ And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

⁴² Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

⁴³ And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, [being] one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

⁴⁴ Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead [him] away safely.

⁴⁵ And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.

⁴⁶ And they laid their hands upon him and seized him.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but [it is] that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

⁵⁰ And all left him and fled.

⁵¹ And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked [body]; and [the young men] seize him;

⁵² but he, leaving the linen cloth behind [him], fled from them naked.

⁵³ And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

⁵⁴ And Peter followed him at a distance, till [he was] within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light [of the fire].

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find [any].

⁵⁶ For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.

⁵⁷ And certain persons rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,

⁵⁸ *We* heard him saying, *I* will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands.

⁵⁹ And neither thus did their testimony agree.

⁶⁰ And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?

⁶¹ But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

⁶² And Jesus said, *I* am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³ And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of 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 upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,

⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And *thou* wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.

⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.

⁶⁹ And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is [one] of them.

⁷⁰ And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art [one] of them, for also thou art a Galilean.

⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

⁷² And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before [the] cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.

¹ It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might sieze him by deception, and kill him.

² For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."

³ While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard-- very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

⁴ But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?

⁵ For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii,{300 denarii was about a years wages for an agricultural laborer.} and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.

⁶ But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

⁹ Most assuredly I tell you, wherever this Gospel may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

¹⁰ Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

¹¹ They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

¹² On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"

¹³ He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,

¹⁴ and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'

¹⁵ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there."

¹⁶ His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁷ When it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁸ As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most assuredly I tell you, one of you will betray me -- he who eats with me."

¹⁹ They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"

²⁰ He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

²¹ For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

²² As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body."

²³ He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

²⁴ He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵ Most assuredly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."

²⁶ When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁷ Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

²⁸ However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

²⁹ But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

³⁰ Jesus said to him, "Most assuredly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

³¹ But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.

³² They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

³³ He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

³⁴ He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."

³⁵ He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

³⁶ He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

³⁷ He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

³⁹ Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

⁴¹ He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴² Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."

⁴³ Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came--and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

⁴⁴ Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

⁴⁵ When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him.

⁴⁶ They laid their hands on him, and seized him.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

⁵⁰ They all left him, and fled.

⁵¹ A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

⁵² but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³ They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.

⁵⁴ Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

⁵⁶ For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other.

⁵⁷ Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

⁵⁸ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

⁵⁹ Even so, their testimony did not agree.

⁶⁰ The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"

⁶¹ But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

⁶² Jesus said, "I AM. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

⁶³ The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁵ Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁶ As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"

⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

⁶⁹ The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."

⁷⁰ But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

⁷¹ But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man of whom you speak!"

⁷² The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.

¹ It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

² But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.

³ And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

⁴ But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?

⁵ We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

⁷ The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.

⁸ She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.

⁹ And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.

¹¹ And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

¹² And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

¹³ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

¹⁴ And wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house, The Master says, Where is my guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

¹⁵ And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready for us.

¹⁶ And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

¹⁷ And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

¹⁸ And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

¹⁹ They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?

²⁰ And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.

²¹ The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

²² And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

²³ And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

²⁴ And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

²⁷ And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

²⁸ But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹ But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³¹ But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

³² And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.

³³ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

³⁴ And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

³⁵ And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

³⁷ And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?

³⁸ Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

³⁹ And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

⁴⁰ And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.

⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.

⁴² Get up, let us be going; see, he who gives me up is near.

⁴³ And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

⁴⁴ Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely.

⁴⁵ And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.

⁴⁶ And they put their hands on him, and took him.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?

⁴⁹ I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.

⁵⁰ And they all went away from him in fear.

⁵¹ And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;

⁵² But he got away unclothed, without the linen cloth.

⁵³ And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

⁵⁴ And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

⁵⁶ For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement.

⁵⁷ Then some got up and gave false witness against him, saying,

⁵⁸ He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

⁵⁹ And even so their witness was not in agreement.

⁶⁰ And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

⁶¹ But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³ And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴ His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

⁶⁵ And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.

⁶⁶ And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;

⁶⁷ And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus.

⁶⁸ But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

⁶⁹ And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.

⁷⁰ But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.

⁷¹ But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.

⁷² And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.
