Aftertwodayswas the feast of the passover,andof unleavened bread:and the chief priestsand the scribessoughthow they might takehimbycraft, and put him to death .
2
But they said , Noton the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3
Andbeing*inBethanyin the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat , there came a womanhaving an alabaster box of ointment of spikenardveryprecious;and she brake the box, and poured it onhishead.
4
And there weresome that had indignationwithinthemselves,andsaid , Why*wasthiswaste of the ointmentmade ?
5
Foritmight have been sold for more than three hundredpence,and have been given to the poor.And they murmured againsther.
6
AndJesussaid , Letheralone ; why trouble ye*her? she hath wrought a goodworkonme.
7
For ye have the poorwithyoualways,andwhensoever ye will ye maydothemgood:butme ye havenotalways.
8
She hath donewhatshe*could : she is come aforehand to anointmybodyto the burying.
9
Verily I say unto you,Wheresoever*thisgospel shall be preachedthroughout the wholeworld, this alsothatshe* hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10
AndJudasIscariot,one of the twelve,wentunto the chief priests,tobetrayhim unto them.
11
And when they heard it, they were glad , andpromised to givehimmoney.And he soughthow he might convenientlybetrayhim.
12
And the firstday of unleavened bread,when they killed the passover,hisdisciplessaid unto him,Where wilt thou that we go and preparethat thou mayest eat the passover?
13
And he sendeth forthtwo of hisdisciples,andsaith unto them,Go yeinto the city,and there shall meetyou a manbearing a pitcher of water:followhim.
14
Andwheresoeverhe shall go in , say ye to the goodman of the house*, The Mastersaith , Whereis the guestchamber,where I shall eat the passoverwithmydisciples?
15
Andhe will shewyou a large upper roomfurnished and prepared:there make ready for us.
16
Andhisdisciples went forth , andcameinto the city,andfoundas he had said unto them:and they made ready the passover.
18
And as theysatand did eat , Jesussaid , Verily I say unto you*, Oneofyouwhicheatethwithme shall betrayme.
19
And they began to be sorrowful , and tosay unto him one by one*, Is it I?andanothersaid, Is it I?
20
And he answered and said unto them,It is oneof the twelve, that dippethwithmein the dish.
21
The Son of manindeedgoeth , as it is writtenofhim:butwoe to thatmanbywhom the Son of man is betrayed ! good were it for thatmanifhehadnever been born .
22
And as they did eat , Jesustookbread, and blessed , and brake it, andgave to them,andsaid , Take , eat : thisismybody.
23
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks , he gave it to them:and they alldrankofit.
24
And he said unto them,Thisismyblood of the newtestament,which is shedformany.
25
Verily I say unto you, I willdrink no more*of the fruit of the vine,untilthatdaythat I drinkitnewin the kingdom of God.
26
And when they had sung an hymn , they went outinto the mount of Olives.
27
AndJesussaith unto them*, All ye shall be offended because ofme*thisnight:for it is written , I will smite the shepherd,and the sheep shall be scattered .
28
Butafter that I am risen , I will go beforeyouintoGalilee.
29
ButPetersaid unto him,Although*all shall be offended , yet will notI.
30
AndJesussaith unto him,Verily I say unto thee,That this day, even inthisnight,beforethecockcrowtwice, thou shalt denymethrice.
31
But he spake the morevehemently*, IfIshould die withthee, I will notdenythee in any wise.Likewisealsosaidtheyall.
32
And they cameto a placewhich was namedGethsemane:and he saith to hisdisciples,Sit yehere,while I shall pray .
33
And he takethwithhimPeterandJamesandJohn,andbegan to be sore amazed , and to be very heavy ;
35
And he went forward a little, and fellon the ground,andprayedthat,if it werepossible, the hour might passfromhim.
36
And he said , Abba,Father, all things are possible unto thee; take awaythiscupfromme:neverthelessnotwhatIwill , butwhatthou wilt.
37
And he cometh , andfindeththemsleeping , andsaith unto Peter,Simon, sleepest thou ? couldestnot thou watchonehour?
38
Watch yeandpray , lest ye enterintotemptation. The spirittruly is ready,but the flesh is weak.
39
Andagain he went away , and prayed , and spake the samewords.
40
And when he returned , he foundthemasleepagain,* (for theireyeswereheavy ,) neitherwisttheywhat to answerhim.
41
And he cometh the third time,andsaith unto them,Sleep onnow,and take your rest : it is enough , the hour is come ; behold , the Son of man is betrayedinto the hands of sinners.
42
Rise up , let us go ; lo , he that betrayethme is at hand .
43
Andimmediately, while heyetspake , comethJudas,one* of the twelve,andwithhim a greatmultitudewithswordsandstaves,from the chief priestsand the scribesand the elders.
44
And he that betrayedhim had giventhem a token,saying , WhomsoeverI shall kiss , that same is he ; takehim,and lead him awaysafely.
45
And as soon as he was come , he goethstraightway to him, and saith , Master,master;andkissedhim.
60
And the high priest stood upin the midst, and askedJesus,saying , Answerestthounothing?what is it which thesewitness against thee?
61
But he held his peace , andanswerednothing.Again the high priestaskedhim,andsaid unto him,Artthou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62
AndJesussaid , Iam : and ye shall see the Son of mansittingon the right hand of power,andcomingin the clouds of heaven.
63
Then the high priestrenthisclothes, and saith , Whatneedwe any furtherwitnesses?
64
Ye have heard the blasphemy:whatthinkye?And they allcondemnedhim to beguilty of death.
65
Andsomebegan to spit on him,and to coverhisface,and to buffethim,and to say unto him,Prophesy : and the servants did strikehim with the palms of their hands.
66
And as Peterwasbeneathin the palace, there comethone of the maids of the high priest:
67
And when she sawPeter warming himself , she looked upon him, and said , AndthoualsowastwithJesus of Nazareth.
68
But he denied , saying , I knownot,neither understand Iwhatthousayest . And he wentoutinto the porch;and the cockcrew .
69
And a maidsawhimagain, and began to say to them that stood by , This*is one ofthem.
70
And he denied itagain.And a littleafter, they that stood bysaidagain to Peter,Surely thou art one ofthem:forthouart a Galilaean,andthyspeechagreeth thereto.
71
But he began to curseand to swear , saying, I know*notthisman of whom ye speak .
72
