rwbs@Matthew:26:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
rwbs@Matthew:26:2 @ Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
rwbs@Matthew:26:3 @ 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,
rwbs@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Not on the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.
rwbs@Matthew:26:7 @ There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he was eating.
rwbs@Matthew:26:8 @ But when his disciples saw, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose this waste?
rwbs@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
rwbs@Matthew:26:10 @ When Jesus understood, he said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
rwbs@Matthew:26:12 @ For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did for my burial.
rwbs@Matthew:26:13 @ Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, shall also this, what this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
rwbs@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
rwbs@Matthew:26:15 @ And said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver.
rwbs@Matthew:26:17 @ Now the first of the unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
rwbs@Matthew:26:18 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:19 @ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
rwbs@Matthew:26:21 @ And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
rwbs@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I?
rwbs@Matthew:26:23 @ And he answered and said, He that dippeth hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
rwbs@Matthew:26:24 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said.
rwbs@Matthew:26:26 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke, and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. (note:)blessed it: many Greek copies have gave thanks(:note)
rwbs@Matthew:26:27 @ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
rwbs@Matthew:26:28 @ For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
rwbs@Matthew:26:29 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:30 @ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. (note:)hymn: or, psalm(:note)
rwbs@Matthew:26:31 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter answered and said to him, Though all shall be offended because of thee, will I never be offended. (note:)offended: or, though the faith of other men should be shaken and fail, yet mine will be firm and constant(:note)
rwbs@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, That this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me three times.
rwbs@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
rwbs@Matthew:26:36 @ Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder, and pray.
rwbs@Matthew:26:37 @ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
rwbs@Matthew:26:38 @ Then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
rwbs@Matthew:26:39 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:40 @ And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
rwbs@Matthew:26:41 @ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed willing, but the flesh weak.
rwbs@Matthew:26:42 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:44 @ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
rwbs@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them, Sleep on now, and take rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
rwbs@Matthew:26:47 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:48 @ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
rwbs@Matthew:26:49 @ And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
rwbs@Matthew:26:50 @ And Jesus said to him, Friend, why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
rwbs@Matthew:26:51 @ And, behold, one of them who were with Jesus stretched out hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
rwbs@Matthew:26:52 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:53 @ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
rwbs@Matthew:26:54 @ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
rwbs@Matthew:26:55 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
rwbs@Matthew:26:57 @ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
rwbs@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him from afar off to the high priest’s courtyard, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
rwbs@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, to put him to death;
rwbs@Matthew:26:60 @ But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
rwbs@Matthew:26:61 @ And said, This said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
rwbs@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee?
rwbs@Matthew:26:63 @ 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.
rwbs@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say to you, After this shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
rwbs@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
rwbs@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spat in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote with the palms of their hands, (note:)the palms…: or, rods(:note)
rwbs@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard: and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
rwbs@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he had gone out into the porch, another saw him, and said to them that were there, This was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
rwbs@Matthew:26:73 @ And after a while came to they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.
rwbs@Matthew:26:74 @ Then began he to curse and to swear,, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crowed.
rwbs@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
