And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples, |
2
|
Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. |
3
|
Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; |
4
|
and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. |
5
|
But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people. |
6
|
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, |
7
|
there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. |
8
|
But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? |
9
|
For this {cf15i ointment} might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. |
10
|
But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. |
11
|
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. |
12
|
For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. |
13
|
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. |
14
|
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, |
15
|
and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. |
16
|
And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him {cf15i unto them}. |
17
|
Now on the first {cf15i day} of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? |
18
|
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. |
19
|
And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover. |
20
|
Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples; |
21
|
and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. |
22
|
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord? |
23
|
And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. |
24
|
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. |
25
|
And Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said. |
26
|
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. |
27
|
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; |
28
|
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many unto remission of sins. |
29
|
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father-s kingdom. |
30
|
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives. |
31
|
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. |
32
|
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. |
33
|
But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended. |
34
|
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. |
35
|
Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, {cf15i yet} will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. |
36
|
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. |
37
|
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled. |
38
|
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me. |
39
|
And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. |
40
|
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? |
41
|
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. |
42
|
Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done. |
43
|
And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. |
44
|
And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words. |
45
|
Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. |
46
|
Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me. |
47
|
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. |
48
|
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him. |
49
|
And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. |
50
|
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, {cf15i do} that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. |
51
|
And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. |
52
|
Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. |
53
|
Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? |
54
|
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |
55
|
In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not. |
56
|
But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled. |
57
|
And they that had taken Jesus led him away to {cf15i the house of} Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. |
58
|
But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end. |
59
|
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; |
60
|
and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two, |
61
|
and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. |
62
|
And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? |
63
|
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. |
64
|
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. |
65
|
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy: |
66
|
what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death. |
67
|
Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands, |
68
|
saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee? |
69
|
Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. |
70
|
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. |
71
|
And when he was gone out into the porch, another {cf15i maid} saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene. |
72
|
And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man. |
73
|
And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art {cf15i one} of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. |
74
|
Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew. |
75
|
And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. |
