Chapter 26

¹ AND it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
² You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:
³ Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
⁴ And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.
⁵ But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
⁶ And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷ There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.
⁸ And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
⁹ For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
¹⁰ And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
¹¹ For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.
¹² For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial.
¹³ Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her.
¹⁴ Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
¹⁵ And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
¹⁶ And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.
¹⁷ And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
¹⁸ But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master saith, My time is near at hand, with thee I make the pasch with my disciples.
¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.
²⁰ But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.
²¹ And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.
²² And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?
²³ But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.
²⁴ The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.
²⁵ And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.
²⁶ And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.
²⁷ And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.
²⁸ For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
²⁹ And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.
³⁰ And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet.
³¹ Then Jesus said to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.
³² But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
³³ And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.
³⁴ Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
³⁵ Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples.
³⁶ Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.
³⁷ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
³⁸ Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.
³⁹ And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
⁴⁰ And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
⁴¹ Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
⁴² Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.
⁴³ And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.
⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
⁴⁵ Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
⁴⁶ Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.
⁴⁷ As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.
⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.
⁴⁹ And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.
⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.
⁵¹ And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
⁵² Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?
⁵⁴ How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?
⁵⁵ In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.
⁵⁶ Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.
⁵⁷ But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.
⁵⁸ And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest. And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end.
⁵⁹ And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death:
⁶⁰ And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses:
⁶¹ And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.
⁶² And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?
⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.
⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
⁶⁵ Then the high priests rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:
⁶⁶ What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.
⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him: and others struck his face with the palms of their hands,
⁶⁸ Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?
⁶⁹ But Peter sat without in the court: and there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.
⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.
⁷¹ And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
⁷³ And after a little while they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee.
⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.

Chapter 26

¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
² Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
³ Then assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
⁴ And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
⁵ But they said, Not on the feast-day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷ There came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat at table.
⁸ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
⁹ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, he said to 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 hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
¹³ Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, which this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
¹⁵ And said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
¹⁷ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
²⁰ Now when the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve.
²¹ And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me.
²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I?
²³ And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
²⁴ The Son of man goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man, if he had not been born.
²⁵ Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said.
²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
²⁸ For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.
²⁹ But I say to 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 to the mount of Olives.
³¹ Then saith Jesus to them, All ye shall be offended because of 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 risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
³³ Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
³⁴ Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that this night, before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
³⁵ Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the 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 very heavy.
³⁸ Then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
³⁹ And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
⁴⁰ And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith to 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 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
⁴³ And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
⁴⁴ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
⁴⁵ Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to 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 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, 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 same is he; hold him fast.
⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail Master; and kissed him.
⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, Why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
⁵¹ And behold, one of them, who were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear.
⁵² Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword.
⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
⁵⁵ In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
⁵⁷ And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
⁵⁸ But Peter followed him at a distance, to the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and elders, and all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, to put him to death;
⁶⁰ But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
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 arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing, what is it which these testify against thee?
⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ the Son of God.
⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say to you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
⁶⁶ What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face, and buffetted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
⁶⁸ Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
⁶⁹ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
⁷³ And after a while came to him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crowed.
⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Chapter 26

¹ happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,
² know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
³ the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
⁴ took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.
⁵ they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."
⁶ when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷ woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
⁸ when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
⁹ this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
¹⁰ knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
¹¹ you always have the poor with you; but you don't always have me.
¹² in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
¹³ certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."
¹⁴ one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
¹⁵ said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
¹⁶ that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
¹⁷ on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
¹⁸ said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"
¹⁹ disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
²⁰ when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
²¹ they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
²² were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It isn't me, is it, Lord?"
²³ answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
²⁴ Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
²⁵ who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
²⁶ they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
²⁷ took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
²⁸ this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
²⁹ I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."
³⁰ they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
³¹ 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 of the flock will be scattered.'
³² after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
³³ Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
³⁴ said to him, "Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
³⁵ said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
³⁶ Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
³⁷ took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
³⁸ he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
³⁹ went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
⁴⁰ came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?
⁴¹ and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
⁴² a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."
⁴³ came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
⁴⁴ left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
⁴⁵ he came to his disciples, and said to 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 let's be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
⁴⁷ he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priest and elders of the people.
⁴⁸ he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."
⁴⁹ he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
⁵⁰ said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
⁵¹ one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
⁵² Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
⁵³ do you think that I couldn't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
⁵⁴ then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
⁵⁵ that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me.
⁵⁶ all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
⁵⁷ who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
⁵⁸ Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
⁵⁹ the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
⁶⁰ they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,
⁶¹ said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
⁶² high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"
⁶³ Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
⁶⁴ said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
⁶⁵ the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
⁶⁶ do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death!"
⁶⁷ they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
⁶⁸ "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?"
⁶⁹ Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!"
⁷⁰ he denied it before them all, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about."
⁷¹ he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."
⁷² he denied it with an oath, "I don't know the man."
⁷³ a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."
⁷⁴ he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!" Immediately the rooster crowed.
⁷⁵ remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.

Chapter 26

¹ And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
² Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,
⁴ and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;
⁵ but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.
⁶ But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,
⁷ a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.
⁸ But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end [was] this waste?
⁹ for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.
¹⁰ But Jesus knowing [it] said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.
¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
¹² For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.
¹³ Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this [woman] has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests
¹⁵ and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.
¹⁶ And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.
¹⁷ Now on the first [day] of [the feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.
¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.
²⁰ And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.
²¹ And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.
²² And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it *I*, Lord?
²³ But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.
²⁴ The Son of man goes indeed, according 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.
²⁵ And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it *I*, Rabbi? He says to him, *Thou* hast said.
²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken [the] bread and blessed, broke [it] and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
²⁷ And having taken [the] cup and given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.
²⁸ For this is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.
²⁹ But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
³⁰ And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
³¹ Then saith Jesus to them, All *ye* shall be offended in me during this night. For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
³² But after that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.
³³ And Peter answering said to him, If all shall be offended in thee, *I* will never be offended.
³⁴ Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before [the] cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
³⁵ Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.
³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.
³⁷ And taking with [him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.
³⁸ Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.
³⁹ And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as *I* will, but as *thou* [wilt].
⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?
⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] ready, but the flesh weak.
⁴² Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass [from me] unless I drink it, thy will be done.
⁴³ And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
⁴⁵ Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
⁴⁶ Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people.
⁴⁸ Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.
⁴⁹ And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.
⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, [My] friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.
⁵¹ And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.
⁵² Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.
⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?
⁵⁴ How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily [with you] teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.
⁵⁶ But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.
⁵⁷ Now they that had seized Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
⁵⁸ And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.
⁵⁹ And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.
⁶⁰ And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward
⁶¹ and said, *He* said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it.
⁶² And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?
⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.
⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, *Thou* hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From 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 clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.
⁶⁶ What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.
⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,
⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?
⁶⁹ But Peter sat without in the palace-court; and a maid came to him, saying, And *thou* wast with Jesus the Galilaean.
⁷⁰ But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.
⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the entrance, another [maid] saw him, and says to those there, This [man] also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.
⁷² And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.
⁷³ And after a little, those who stood [there], coming to [him], said to Peter, Truly *thou* too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.
⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately [the] cock crew.
⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said [to him], Before [the] cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.

Chapter 26

¹ 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 subtlety, and kill him.
⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among 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 [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 [unto them.]
¹⁷ Now on the first [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 Teacher 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, who 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 poured out for many unto remission of sins.
²⁹ But I say unto you, I shall 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, [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, 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, 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 priest 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, [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 [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 art the Christ, the Son of God.
⁶⁴ Jesus said 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 [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
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 [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.
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.

Chapter 26

¹ And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,
² After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.
³ Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.
⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.
⁵ But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.
⁶ Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
⁷ There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.
⁸ But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
⁹ For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.
¹⁰ But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.
¹¹ For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
¹² For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.
¹³ Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,
¹⁵ What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.
¹⁶ And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.
¹⁷ Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
¹⁸ And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.
¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.
²⁰ Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;
²¹ And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.
²² And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?
²³ And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.
²⁴ The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.
²⁵ And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.
²⁶ And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.
²⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,
²⁸ Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.
²⁹ But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
³⁰ And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
³¹ Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.
³² But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
³³ But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.
³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
³⁵ Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.
³⁶ Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.
³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.
³⁸ Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.
³⁹ And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?
⁴¹ Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
⁴² Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.
⁴³ And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.
⁴⁴ And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.
⁴⁵ Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.
⁴⁶ Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.
⁴⁷ And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.
⁴⁸ Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.
⁴⁹ And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.
⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.
⁵¹ And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.
⁵³ Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?
⁵⁴ But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.
⁵⁶ But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
⁵⁷ And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.
⁵⁸ But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.
⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;
⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.
⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.
⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?
⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.
⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:
⁶⁶ What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.
⁶⁷ Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,
⁶⁸ Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
⁶⁹ Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.
⁷⁰ But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.
⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
⁷² And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.
⁷³ And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
⁷⁴ Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.
⁷⁵ And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
