*
Then assembled together (
5681 )
the chief priests ,
and the scribes ,
and the elders of the people ,
unto the palace of the high priest ,
who was called (
5746 )
Caiaphas ,
*
And consulted (
5668 )
that they might take (
5661 )
Jesus by subtilty ,
and kill (
5725 )
him .
*
But they said (
5707 ),
Not on the feast day ,
lest there be (
5638 )
an uproar among the people .
*
Now when Jesus was (
5637 )
in Bethany ,
in the house of Simon the leper ,
*
There came (
5627 )
unto him a woman having (
5723 )
an alabaster box of very precious ointment ,
and poured it (
5656 )
on his head ,
as he sat (
5740 )
at meat .
*
But when his disciples saw (
5631 )
it ,
they had indignation (
5656 ),
saying (
5723 ),
To what purpose is this waste ?
*
For this ointment might (
5711 )
have been sold (
5683 )
for much ,
and given (
5683 )
to the poor .
*
When Jesus understood (
5631 )
it ,
he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Why trouble ye (
5719 )
the woman ?
for she hath wrought (
5662 )
a good work upon me .
*
For ye have (
5719 )
the poor always with you ;
but me ye have (
5719 )
not always .
*
For in that she (
5625 )
hath poured (
5631 )
this ointment on my body ,
she did (
5656 )
it for my burial (
5658 ).
*
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached (
5686 )
in the whole world ,
there shall also this ,
that this woman (
5625 )
hath done (
5656 ),
be told (
5701 )
for a memorial of her .
*
Then one of the twelve ,
called (
5746 )
Judas Iscariot ,
went (
5679 )
unto the chief priests ,
*
And said (
5627 )
unto them ,
What will ye (
5719 )
give (
5629 )
me ,
and I will deliver (
5692 )
him unto you ?
And they covenanted (
5627 )
with him for thirty pieces of silver .
*
And from that time he sought (
5707 )
opportunity to betray (
5632 )
him .
*
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came (
5656 )
to Jesus ,
saying (
5723 )
unto him ,
Where wilt thou (
5719 )
that we prepare (
5661 )
for thee to eat (
5629 )
the passover ?
*
And he said (
5627 ),
Go (
5720 )
into the city to such a man ,
and say (
5628 )
unto him ,
The Master saith (
5719 ),
My time is (
5748 )
at hand ;
I will keep (
5719 )
the passover at thy house with my disciples .
*
And the disciples did (
5656 )
as Jesus had appointed (
5656 )
them ;
and they made ready (
5656 )
the passover .
*
Now when the even was come (
5637 ),
he sat down (
5711 )
with the twelve .
*
And as they did eat (
5723 ),
he said (
5627 ),
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
that one of you shall betray (
5692 )
me .
*
And they were exceeding sorrowful (
5746 ),
and began (
5662 )
every one of them to say (
5721 )
unto him ,
Lord ,
is (
5748 )
it I ?
*
And he answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
He that dippeth (
5660 )
his hand with me in the dish ,
the same shall betray (
5692 )
me .
*
The Son of man goeth (
5719 )
as it is written (
5769 )
of him :
but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed (
5743 )!
it had been (
5713 )
good for that man if he had not been born (
5681 ).
*
Then Judas ,
which betrayed (
5723 )
him ,
answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 ),
Master ,
is (
5748 )
it I ?
He said (
5719 )
unto him ,
Thou hast said (
5627 ).
*
And as they were eating (
5723 ),
Jesus took (
5631 )
bread ,
and blessed (
5660 )
it ,
and brake (
5656 )
it ,
and gave (
5707 )
it to the disciples ,
and said (
5627 ),
Take (
5628 ),
eat (
5628 );
this is (
5748 )
my body .
*
And he took (
5631 )
the cup ,
and gave thanks (
5660 ),
and gave (
5656 )
it to them ,
saying (
5723 ),
Drink ye (
5628 )
all of it ;
*
For this is (
5748 )
my blood of the new testament ,
which is shed (
5746 )
for many for the remission of sins .
*
But I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
I will not drink (
5632 )
henceforth of this fruit of the vine ,
until that day when I drink (
5725 )
it new with you in my Fathers kingdom .
*
And when they had sung an hymn (
5660 ),
they went out (
5627 )
into the mount of Olives .
*
Then saith (
5719 )
Jesus unto them ,
All ye shall be offended (
5701 )
because of me this night :
for it is written (
5769 ),
I will smite (
5692 )
the shepherd ,
and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad (
5701 ).
*
But after I am risen again (
5683 ),
I will go before (
5692 )
you into Galilee .
*
Peter answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Though all men shall be offended (
5701 )
because of thee ,
yet will I never be offended (
5701 ).
*
Jesus said (
5713 )
unto him ,
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto thee ,
That this night ,
before the cock crow (
5658 ),
thou shalt deny (
5695 )
me thrice .
*
Peter said (
5719 )
unto him ,
Though I should (
5753 )
die (
5629 )
with thee ,
yet will I not deny (
5695 )
thee .
Likewise also said (
5627 )
all the disciples .
*
Then cometh (
5736 )
Jesus with them unto a place called (
5746 )
Gethsemane ,
and saith (
5719 )
unto the disciples ,
Sit ye (
5657 )
here ,
while I go (
5631 )
and pray (
5667 )
yonder .
*
And he took with him (
5631 )
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee ,
and began (
5662 )
to be sorrowful (
5745 )
and very heavy (
5721 ).
*
Then saith he (
5719 )
unto them ,
My soul is (
5748 )
exceeding sorrowful ,
even unto death :
tarry ye (
5657 )
here ,
and watch (
5720 )
with me .
*
And he went a little further (
5631 ),
and fell (
5627 )
on his face ,
and prayed (
5740 ),
saying (
5723 ),
O my Father ,
if it be (
5748 )
possible ,
let this cup pass (
5628 )
from me :
nevertheless not as I will (
5719 ),
but as thou wilt .
*
And he cometh (
5736 )
unto the disciples ,
and findeth (
5719 )
them asleep (
5723 ),
and saith (
5719 )
unto Peter ,
What ,
could ye (
5656 )
not watch (
5658 )
with me one hour ?
*
Watch (
5720 )
and pray (
5737 ),
that ye enter (
5632 )
not into temptation :
the spirit indeed is willing ,
but the flesh is weak .
*
He went away (
5631 )
again the second time ,
and prayed (
5662 ),
saying (
5723 ),
O my Father ,
if this cup may (
5736 )
not pass away (
5629 )
from me ,
except I drink (
5632 )
it ,
thy will be done (
5676 ).
*
And he came (
5631 )
and found (
5719 )
them asleep (
5723 )
again :
for their eyes were (
5713 )
heavy (
5772 ).
*
And he left (
5631 )
them ,
and went away (
5631 )
again ,
and prayed (
5662 )
the third time ,
saying (
5631 )
the same words .
*
Then cometh he (
5736 )
to his disciples ,
and saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Sleep on (
5719 )
now ,
and take your rest (
5731 ) (
5732 ):
behold (
5628 ),
the hour is at hand (
5758 ),
and the Son of man is betrayed (
5743 )
into the hands of sinners .
*
Rise (
5728 ),
let us be going (
5725 ):
behold (
5628 ),
he is at hand (
5758 )
that doth betray (
5723 )
me .
*
And while he yet spake (
5723 ),
lo (
5628 ),
Judas ,
one of the twelve ,
came (
5627 ),
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves ,
from the chief priests and elders of the people .
*
Now he that betrayed (
5723 )
him gave (
5656 )
them a sign ,
saying (
5723 ),
Whomsoever I shall kiss (
5661 ),
that same is (
5748 )
he :
hold him fast (
5657 ).
*
And forthwith he came (
5631 )
to Jesus ,
and said (
5627 ),
Hail (
5720 ),
master ;
and kissed (
5656 )
him .
*
And Jesus said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Friend ,
wherefore art thou come (
5748 )?
Then came they (
5631 ),
and laid (
5627 )
hands on Jesus ,
and took (
5656 )
him .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
one of them which were with Jesus stretched out (
5660 )
his hand ,
and drew (
5656 )
his sword ,
and struck (
5660 )
a servant of the high priests ,
and smote off (
5627 )
his ear .
*
Then said (
5719 )
Jesus unto him ,
Put up again (
5657 )
thy sword into his place :
for all they that take (
5631 )
the sword shall perish (
5698 )
with the sword .
*
Thinkest thou (
5719 )
that I cannot (
5736 )
now pray (
5658 )
to my Father ,
and he shall presently give (
5692 )
me more than twelve legions of angels ?
*
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled (
5686 ),
that thus it must (
5748 )
be (
5635 )?
*
In that same hour said (
5627 )
Jesus to the multitudes ,
Are ye come out (
5627 )
as against a thief with swords and staves for to take (
5629 )
me ?
I sat (
5711 )
daily with you teaching (
5723 )
in the temple ,
and ye laid no hold (
5656 )
on me .
*
But all this was done (
5754 ),
that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled (
5686 ).
Then all the disciples forsook (
5631 )
him ,
and fled (
5627 ).
*
And they that had laid hold (
5660 )
on Jesus led him away (
5627 )
to Caiaphas the high priest ,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled (
5681 ).
*
But Peter followed (
5707 )
him afar off unto the high priests palace ,
and went (
5631 )
in ,
and sat (
5711 )
with the servants ,
to see (
5629 )
the end .
*
Now the chief priests ,
and elders ,
and all the council ,
sought (
5707 )
false witness against Jesus ,
to put him to death (
5661 );
