* Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near , which is called Passover . * And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him , for they feared the people . * Then Satan entered Judas , surnamed Iscariot , being numbered among the twelve . * So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and commanders , how he might deliver Him to them . * And they were glad , and agreed to give him money . * So he promised and sought opportunity to deliver Him to them away from the multitude . * Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread , when the Passover must be killed . * And He sent Peter and John , saying , Go and prepare the Passover for us , that we may eat . * So they said to Him , Where do You want us to prepare ? * And He said to them , Behold , when you have entered the city , a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water ; follow him into the house which he enters . * Then you shall say to the master of the house , The Teacher says to you , Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples ? * And he will show you a large , furnished upper room ; there make ready . * So they went and found it just as He had said to them , and they prepared the Passover . * And when the hour had come , He sat down , and the twelve apostles with Him . * And He said to them , With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer ; * for I say to you , I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God . * Then He took the cup , and gave thanks , and said , Take this and divide it among yourselves ; * for I say to you , I will not drink from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God has come . * And He took bread , gave thanks and broke it , and gave it to them , saying , This is My body which is given for you ; do this in remembrance of Me . * Likewise He also took the cup after supper , saying , This cup is the New Covenant in My blood , which is poured out for you . * But behold , the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table . * And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined , but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed ! * Then they began to question among themselves , which of them it might be who was about to do this thing . * And there was also a dispute among them , as to which of them should be considered greater . * And He said to them , The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them , and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors . * But not so among you ; rather , he who is greater among you , let him be as the younger , and he who leads as he who serves . * For who is greater , he who sits at the table , or he who serves ? Is it not he who sits at the table ? Yet I am among you as the One who serves . * But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials . * And I appoint a kingdom to you , as My Father appointed unto Me , * that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom , and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel . * And the Lord said , Simon , Simon . Behold , Satan has asked for you , that he may sift you as wheat . * But I have prayed for you , that your faith does not fail ; and when you have returned , strengthen your brethren . * But he said to Him , Lord , I am ready to go with You , both to prison and to death . * Then He said , I tell you , Peter , the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me . * And He said to them , When I sent you without money bag , knapsack , and sandals , did you lack anything ? And they said , Nothing . * Then He said to them , But now , he who has a money bag , let him take it , and likewise a knapsack ; and he who has no sword , let him sell his garment and buy one . * For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me : And He was numbered with the transgressors . For the things concerning Me have an end . * And they said , Lord , behold , here are two swords . And He said to them , It is enough . * And coming out , He went to the Mount of Olives , as He was accustomed , and His disciples also followed Him . * And when He came to the place , He said to them , Pray that you do not enter into temptation . * And He was withdrawn from them about a stone ’s throw , and He knelt down and prayed , * saying , Father , if You are willing , take this cup away from Me ; nevertheless not My will , but Yours , be done . * Then an angel appeared to Him from Heaven , strengthening Him . * And being in agony , He prayed more earnestly . And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground . * And when He rose up from prayer , and had come to His disciples , He found them sleeping from sorrow . * And He said to them , Why do you sleep ? Rise and pray , that you do not enter into temptation . * And while He was still speaking , behold , a multitude ; and he who was called Judas , one of the twelve , went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him . * But Jesus said to him , Judas , are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss ? * When those around Him saw what was about to happen , they said to Him , Lord , shall we strike with the sword ? * And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear . * But Jesus answered and said , Permit even this . And He touched his ear and healed him . * Then Jesus said to the chief priests , commanders of the temple , and the elders who had come to Him , Have you come out , as against a robber , with swords and clubs ? * When I was with you daily in the temple , you did not stretch forth your hands against Me . But this is your hour , and the authority of darkness . * And having arrested Him , they led Him away and brought Him into the high priest ’s house . And Peter followed at a distance . * Now when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together , Peter sat among them . * And a certain servant girl , seeing him as he sat by the fire , looked intently at him and said , This man was also with Him . * But he denied Him , saying , Woman , I do not know Him . * And after a little while another saw him and said , You also are of them . But Peter said , Man , I am not . * Then after about an hour had passed , another confidently affirmed , saying , Truly this fellow also was with Him , for he is a Galilean . * But Peter said , Man , I do not know what you are saying . Immediately , while he was still speaking , the rooster crowed . * And the Lord turned and looked at Peter . And Peter remembered the word of the Lord , how He had said to him , Before the rooster crows , you will deny Me three times . * And Peter went out and wept bitterly . * Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat Him . * And having blindfolded Him , they struck Him on the face and asked Him , saying , Prophesy ! Who is the one who struck You ? * And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him . * And as soon as it was day , the elders of the people , both chief priests and scribes , came together and led Him into their council , saying , * If You are the Christ , tell us . But He said to them , If I tell you , you will by no means believe . * And if I also ask you , you will by no means answer Me or let Me go . * Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God . * Then they all said , Are You then the Son of God ? And He said to them , You affirm that I AM . * And they said , What further testimony do we need ? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth .
