kjc@Matthew:26:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

kjc@Matthew:26:2" />

kjc@Matthew:26:3 @ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

kjc@Matthew:26:4 @ And consulted that they might take Jesus by trickery, and kill him.

kjc@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

kjc@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

kjc@Matthew:26:7 @ There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at food.

kjc@Matthew:26:8 @ But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

kjc@Matthew:26:9 @ For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

kjc@Matthew:26:10 @ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them,

kjc@Matthew:26:11" />

kjc@Matthew:26:12" />

kjc@Matthew:26:13" />

kjc@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

kjc@Matthew:26:15 @ And said unto them, What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they contracted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

kjc@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

kjc@Matthew:26:17 @ Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where will you that we prepare for you to eat the passover?

kjc@Matthew:26:18 @ And he said,.

kjc@Matthew:26:19 @ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

kjc@Matthew:26:20 @ Now when the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve.

kjc@Matthew:26:21 @ And as they did eat, he said,

kjc@Matthew:26:22 @ And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

kjc@Matthew:26:23 @ And he answered and said,

kjc@Matthew:26:24" />

kjc@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him,

kjc@Matthew:26:26 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,

kjc@Matthew:26:27 @ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,

kjc@Matthew:26:28" />

kjc@Matthew:26:29" />

kjc@Matthew:26:30 @ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

kjc@Matthew:26:31 @ Then says Jesus unto them,

kjc@Matthew:26:32" />

kjc@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.

kjc@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said unto him,

kjc@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said unto him, Though I should die with you, yet will I not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples.

kjc@Matthew:26:36 @ Then comes Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and says unto the disciples,

kjc@Matthew:26:37 @ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

kjc@Matthew:26:38 @ Then says he unto them,

kjc@Matthew:26:39 @ And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,.

kjc@Matthew:26:40 @ And he comes unto the disciples, and finds them asleep, and says unto Peter,

kjc@Matthew:26:41" />

kjc@Matthew:26:42 @ He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,

kjc@Matthew:26:43 @ And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

kjc@Matthew:26:44 @ And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

kjc@Matthew:26:45 @ Then comes he to his disciples, and says unto them,

kjc@Matthew:26:46 @.

kjc@Matthew:26:47 @ And while he yet spoke, 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.

kjc@Matthew:26:48 @ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

kjc@Matthew:26:49 @ And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

kjc@Matthew:26:50 @ And Jesus said unto him, Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

kjc@Matthew:26:51 @ And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

kjc@Matthew:26:52 @ Then said Jesus unto him,

kjc@Matthew:26:53" />

kjc@Matthew:26:54" />

kjc@Matthew:26:55 @ In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes,

kjc@Matthew:26:56 @ Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

kjc@Matthew:26:57 @ And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

kjc@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

kjc@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

kjc@Matthew:26:60 @ But found none: yes, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

kjc@Matthew:26:61 @ And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

kjc@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?

kjc@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you be the Christ, the Son of God.

kjc@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus says unto him,

kjc@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

kjc@Matthew:26:66 @ What think you? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

kjc@Matthew:26:67 @ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

kjc@Matthew:26:68 @ Saying, Prophesy unto us, you Christ, Who is he that smote you?

kjc@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter sat outside in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

kjc@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied before them all, saying, I do not know what you say.

kjc@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

kjc@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

kjc@Matthew:26:73 @ And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech betrays you.

kjc@Matthew:26:74 @ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know the man. And immediately the cock crowed.

kjc@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
