asv @Matthew:26:1 @And it came to pass , when Jesus had finished all these words , he said unto his disciples , asv @Matthew:26:2 @Ye know that after two days the passover cometh , and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified . asv @Matthew:26:3 @Then were gathered together the chief priests , and the elders of the people , unto the court of the high priest , who was called Caiaphas ; asv @Matthew:26:4 @and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety , and kill him . asv @Matthew:26:5 @But they said , Not during the feast , lest a tumult arise among people . asv @Matthew:26:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany , in the house of Simon the leper , asv @Matthew:26:7 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:8 @But when the disciples saw it , they had indignation , saying , To what purpose is this waste ? asv @Matthew:26:9 @For this [ointment ] might have been sold for much , and given to the poor . asv @Matthew:26:10 @But Jesus perceiving it said unto them , Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me . asv @Matthew:26:11 @For ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always . asv @Matthew:26:12 @For in that she poured this ointment upon my body , she did it to prepare me for burial . asv @Matthew:26:13 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:14 @Then one of the twelve , who was called Judas Iscariot , went unto the chief priests , asv @Matthew:26:15 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:16 @And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them .] asv @Matthew:26:17 @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 ? asv @Matthew:26:18 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:19 @And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them ; and they made ready the passover . asv @Matthew:26:20 @Now when even was come , he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples ; asv @Matthew:26:21 @and as they were eating , he said , Verily I say unto you , that one of you shall betray me . asv @Matthew:26:22 @And they were exceeding sorrowful , and began to say unto him every one , Is it I , Lord ? asv @Matthew:26:23 @And he answered and said , He that dipped his hand with me in the dish , the same shall betray me . asv @Matthew:26:24 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:25 @And Judas , who betrayed him , answered and said , Is it I , Rabbi ? He saith unto him , Thou hast said . asv @Matthew:26:26 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:27 @And he took a cup , and gave thanks , and gave to them , saying , Drink ye all of it ; asv @Matthew:26:28 @for this is my blood of the covenant , which is poured out for many unto remission of sins . asv @Matthew:26:29 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:30 @And when they had sung a hymn , they went out unto the mount of Olives . asv @Matthew:26:31 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:32 @But after I am raised up , I will go before you into Galilee . asv @Matthew:26:33 @But Peter answered and said unto him , If all shall be offended in thee , I will never be offended . asv @Matthew:26:34 @Jesus said unto him , Verily I say unto thee , that this night , before the cock crow , thou shalt deny me thrice . asv @Matthew:26:35 @Peter saith unto him , Even if I must die with thee , [yet ] will I not deny thee . Likewise also said all the disciples . asv @Matthew:26:36 @Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane , and saith unto his disciples , Sit ye here , while I go yonder and pray . asv @Matthew:26:37 @And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee , and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled . asv @Matthew:26:38 @Then saith he unto them , My soul is exceeding sorrowful , even unto death : abide ye here , and watch with me . asv @Matthew:26:39 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:40 @And he cometh unto the disciples , and findeth them sleeping , and saith unto Peter , What , could ye not watch with me one hour ? asv @Matthew:26:41 @Watch and pray , that ye enter not into temptation : the spirit indeed is willing , but the flesh is weak . asv @Matthew:26:42 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:43 @And he came again and found them sleeping , for their eyes were heavy . asv @Matthew:26:44 @And he left them again , and went away , and prayed a third time , saying again the same words . asv @Matthew:26:45 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:46 @Arise , let us be going : behold , he is at hand that betrayeth me . asv @Matthew:26:47 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:48 @Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign , saying , Whomsoever I shall kiss , that is he : take him . asv @Matthew:26:49 @And straightway he came to Jesus , and said , Hail , Rabbi ; and kissed him . asv @Matthew:26:50 @And Jesus said unto him , Friend , [do ] that for which thou art come . Then they came and laid hands on Jesus , and took him . asv @Matthew:26:51 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:52 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:53 @Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father , and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels ? asv @Matthew:26:54 @How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be ? asv @Matthew:26:55 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:56 @But all this is come to pass , that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled . Then all the disciples left him , and fled . asv @Matthew:26:57 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:58 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:59 @Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus , that they might put him to death ; asv @Matthew:26:60 @and they found it not , though many false witnesses came . But afterward came two , asv @Matthew:26:61 @and said , This man said , I am able to destroy the temple of God , and to build it in three days . asv @Matthew:26:62 @And the high priest stood up , and said unto him , Answerest thou nothing ? what is it which these witness against thee ? asv @Matthew:26:63 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:64 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:65 @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 : asv @Matthew:26:66 @what think ye ? They answered and said , He is worthy of death . asv @Matthew:26:67 @Then did they spit in his face and buffet him : and some smote him with the palms of their hands , asv @Matthew:26:68 @saying , Prophesy unto us , thou Christ : who is he that struck thee ? asv @Matthew:26:69 @Now Peter was sitting without in the court : and a maid came unto him , saying , Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean . asv @Matthew:26:70 @But he denied before them all , saying , I know not what thou sayest . asv @Matthew:26:71 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:72 @And again he denied with an oath , I know not the man . asv @Matthew:26:73 @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 . asv @Matthew:26:74 @Then began he to curse and to swear , I know not the man . And straightway the cock crew . asv @Matthew:26:75 @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 .
