ylt @Matthew:26:1 @And it came to pass , when Jesus finished all these words , he said to his disciples , ylt @Matthew:26:2 @'Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh , and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified .' ylt @Matthew:26:3 @Then were gathered together the chief priests , and the scribes , and the elders of the people , to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas ; ylt @Matthew:26:4 @and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile , and kill [him ], ylt @Matthew:26:5 @and they said , 'Not in the feast , that there may not be a tumult among the people .' ylt @Matthew:26:6 @And Jesus having been in Bethany , in the house of Simon the leper , ylt @Matthew:26:7 @there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment , very precious , and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat ). ylt @Matthew:26:8 @And having seen [it ], his disciples were much displeased , saying , 'To what purpose [is ] this waste ? ylt @Matthew:26:9 @for this ointment could have been sold for much , and given to the poor .' ylt @Matthew:26:10 @And Jesus having known , said to them , 'Why do ye give trouble to the woman ? for a good work she wrought for me ; ylt @Matthew:26:11 @for the poor always ye have with you , and me ye have not always ; ylt @Matthew:26:12 @for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my burial she did [it ]. ylt @Matthew:26:13 @Verily I say to you , Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world , what this [one ] did shall also be spoken of -- for a memorial of her .' ylt @Matthew:26:14 @Then one of the twelve , who is called Judas Iscariot , having gone unto the chief priests , said , ylt @Matthew:26:15 @'What are ye willing to give me , and I will deliver him up to you ?' and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings , ylt @Matthew:26:16 @and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up . ylt @Matthew:26:17 @And on the first [day ] of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus , saying to him , 'Where wilt thou [that ] we may prepare for thee to eat the passover ?' ylt @Matthew:26:18 @and he said , 'Go away to the city , unto such a one , and say to him , The Teacher saith , My time is nigh ; near thee I keep the passover , with my disciples ;' ylt @Matthew:26:19 @and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them , and prepared the passover . ylt @Matthew:26:20 @And evening having come , he was reclining (at meat ) with the twelve , ylt @Matthew:26:21 @and while they are eating , he said , 'Verily I say to you , that one of you shall deliver me up .' ylt @Matthew:26:22 @And being grieved exceedingly , they began to say to him , each of them , 'Is it I , Sir ?' ylt @Matthew:26:23 @And he answering said , 'He who did dip with me the hand in the dish , he will deliver me up ; ylt @Matthew:26:24 @the Son of Man doth indeed go , as it hath been written concerning him , but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up ! good it were for him if that man had not been born .' ylt @Matthew:26:25 @And Judas -- he who delivered him up -- answering said , 'Is it I , Rabbi ?' He saith to him , 'Thou hast said .' ylt @Matthew:26:26 @And while they were eating , Jesus having taken the bread , and having blessed , did brake , and was giving to the disciples , and said , 'Take , eat , this is my body ;' ylt @Matthew:26:27 @and having taken the cup , and having given thanks , he gave to them , saying , 'Drink ye of it -- all ; ylt @Matthew:26:28 @for this is my blood of the new covenant , that for many is being poured out -- to remission of sins ; ylt @Matthew:26:29 @and I say to you , that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine , till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father .' ylt @Matthew:26:30 @And having sung a hymn , they went forth to the mount of the Olives ; ylt @Matthew:26:31 @then saith Jesus to them , 'All ye shall be stumbled at me this night ; for it hath been written , I will smite the shepherd , and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad ; ylt @Matthew:26:32 @but , after my having risen , I will go before you to Galilee .' ylt @Matthew:26:33 @And Peter answering said to him , 'Even if all shall be stumbled at thee , I will never be stumbled .' ylt @Matthew:26:34 @Jesus said to him , 'Verily I say to thee , that , this night , before cock-crowing , thrice thou wilt deny me .' ylt @Matthew:26:35 @Peter saith to him , 'Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee , I will not deny thee ;' in like manner also said all the disciples . ylt @Matthew:26:36 @Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane , and he saith to the disciples , 'Sit ye here , till having gone away , I shall pray yonder .' ylt @Matthew:26:37 @And having taken Peter , and the two sons of Zebedee , he began to be sorrowful , and to be very heavy ; ylt @Matthew:26:38 @then saith he to them , 'Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul -- unto death ; abide ye here , and watch with me .' ylt @Matthew:26:39 @And having gone forward a little , he fell on his face , praying , and saying , 'My Father , if it be possible , let this cup pass from me ; nevertheless , not as I will , but as Thou .' ylt @Matthew:26:40 @And he cometh unto the disciples , and findeth them sleeping , and he saith to Peter , 'So ! ye were not able one hour to watch with me ! ylt @Matthew:26:41 @watch , and pray , that ye may not enter into temptation : the spirit indeed is forward , but the flesh weak .' ylt @Matthew:26:42 @Again , a second time , having gone away , he prayed , saying , 'My Father , if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it , Thy will be done ;' ylt @Matthew:26:43 @and having come , he findeth them again sleeping , for their eyes were heavy . ylt @Matthew:26:44 @And having left them , having gone away again , he prayed a third time , saying the same word ; ylt @Matthew:26:45 @then cometh he unto his disciples , and saith to them , 'Sleep on henceforth , and rest ! lo , the hour hath come nigh , and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners . ylt @Matthew:26:46 @Rise , let us go ; lo , he hath come nigh who is delivering me up .' ylt @Matthew:26:47 @And while he is yet speaking , lo , Judas , one of the twelve did come , and with him a great multitude , with swords and sticks , from the chief priests and elders of the people . ylt @Matthew:26:48 @And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign , saying , 'Whomsoever I will kiss , it is he : lay hold on him ;' ylt @Matthew:26:49 @and immediately , having come to Jesus , he said , 'Hail , Rabbi ,' and kissed him ; ylt @Matthew:26:50 @and Jesus said to him , 'Comrade , for what art thou present ?' Then having come near , they laid hands on Jesus , and took hold on him . ylt @Matthew:26:51 @And lo , one of those with Jesus , having stretched forth the hand , drew his sword , and having struck the servant of the chief priest , he took off his ear . ylt @Matthew:26:52 @Then saith Jesus to him , 'Turn back thy sword to its place ; for all who did take the sword , by the sword shall perish ; ylt @Matthew:26:53 @dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father , and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers ? ylt @Matthew:26:54 @how then may the Writings be fulfilled , that thus it behoveth to happen ?' ylt @Matthew:26:55 @In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes , 'As against a robber ye did come forth , with swords and sticks , to take me ! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple , and ye did not lay hold on me ; ylt @Matthew:26:56 @but all this hath come to pass , that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled ;' then all the disciples , having left him , fled . ylt @Matthew:26:57 @And those laying hold on Jesus led [him ] away unto Caiaphas the chief priest , where the scribes and the elders were gathered together , ylt @Matthew:26:58 @and Peter was following him afar off , unto the court of the chief priest , and having gone in within , he was sitting with the officers , to see the end . ylt @Matthew:26:59 @And the chief priests , and the elders , and all the council , were seeking false witness against Jesus , that they might put him to death , ylt @Matthew:26:60 @and they did not find ; and many false witnesses having come near , they did not find ; and at last two false witnesses having come near , ylt @Matthew:26:61 @said , 'This one said , I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God , and after three days to build it .' ylt @Matthew:26:62 @And the chief priest having stood up , said to him , 'Nothing thou dost answer ! what do these witness against thee ? ylt @Matthew:26:63 @and Jesus was silent . And the chief priest answering said to him , 'I adjure thee , by the living God , that thou mayest say to us , if thou art the Christ -- the Son of God .' ylt @Matthew:26:64 @Jesus saith to him , 'Thou hast said ; nevertheless I say to you , hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power , and coming upon the clouds , of the heaven .' ylt @Matthew:26:65 @Then the chief priest rent his garments , saying , -- 'He hath spoken evil ; what need have we yet of witnesses ? lo , now ye heard his evil speaking ; ylt @Matthew:26:66 @what think ye ?' and they answering said , 'He is worthy of death .' ylt @Matthew:26:67 @Then did they spit in his face and buffet him , and others did slap , ylt @Matthew:26:68 @saying , 'Declare to us , O Christ , who he is that struck thee ?' ylt @Matthew:26:69 @And Peter without was sitting in the court , and there came near to him a certain maid , saying , 'And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee !' ylt @Matthew:26:70 @And he denied before all , saying , 'I have not known what thou sayest .' ylt @Matthew:26:71 @And he having gone forth to the porch , another female saw him , and saith to those there , 'And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth ;' ylt @Matthew:26:72 @and again did he deny with an oath -- 'I have not known the man .' ylt @Matthew:26:73 @And after a little those standing near having come , said to Peter , 'Truly thou also art of them , for even thy speech doth make thee manifest .' ylt @Matthew:26:74 @Then began he to anathematise , and to swear -- 'I have not known the man ;' and immediately did a cock crow , ylt @Matthew:26:75 @and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus , he having said to him -- 'Before cock-crowing , thrice thou wilt deny me ;' and having gone without , he did weep bitterly .
