*
Jesus said unto him ,
Verily I say unto thee ,
That this night ,
before the cock crow ,
thou shalt deny me thrice .
*
Peter said unto him ,
Though I should die with thee ,
yet will I not deny thee .
Likewise also said all the disciples .
*
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane ,
and saith unto the disciples ,
Sit ye here ,
while I go and pray yonder .
*
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee ,
and began to be sorrowful and very heavy .
*
Then saith he unto them ,
My soul is exceeding sorrowful ,
even unto death :
tarry ye here ,
and watch with me .
*
And he went a little further ,
and fell on his face ,
and prayed ,
saying ,
O my Father ,
if it be possible ,
let this cup pass from me :
nevertheless not as I will ,
but as thou wilt .
*
And he cometh unto the disciples ,
and findeth them asleep ,
and saith unto Peter ,
What ,
could ye not watch with me one hour ?
*
Watch and pray ,
that ye enter not into temptation :
the spirit indeed is willing ,
but the flesh is weak .
*
He went away again the second time ,
and prayed ,
saying ,
O my Father ,
if this cup may not pass away from me ,
except I drink it ,
thy will be done .
*
And he came and found them asleep again :
for their eyes were heavy .
*
And he left them ,
and went away again ,
and prayed the third time ,
saying the same words .
*
Then cometh he to his 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 .
*
Rise ,
let us be going :
behold ,
he is at hand that doth betray me .
*
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 priests and elders of the people .
*
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign ,
saying ,
Whomsoever I shall kiss ,
that same is he :
hold him fast .
*
And forthwith he came to Jesus ,
and said ,
Hail ,
master ;
and kissed him .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Friend ,
wherefore art thou come ?
Then came they ,
and laid hands on Jesus ,
and took him .
*
And ,
behold ,
one of them which 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 .
*
Then said Jesus unto him ,
Put up again thy sword into his place :
for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword .
*
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father ,
and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels ?
*
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled ,
that thus it must be ?
*
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes ,
Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me ?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple ,
and ye laid no hold on me .
*
But all this was done ,
that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled .
Then all the disciples forsook him ,
and fled .
*
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest ,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled .
*
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest '
s palace ,
and went in ,
and sat with the servants ,
to see the end .
*
Now the chief priests ,
and elders ,
and all the council ,
sought false witness against Jesus ,
to put him to death ;
*
But found none :
yea ,
though many false witnesses came ,
yet found they none .
At the last came two false witnesses ,
*
And said ,
This fellow said ,
I am able to destroy the temple of God ,
and to build it in three days .
*
And the high priest arose ,
and said unto him ,
Answerest thou nothing ?
what is it which these witness against thee ?
*
But Jesus held his peace .
And the high priest answered and said unto him ,
I adjure thee by the living God ,
that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ ,
the Son of God .
*
Jesus saith unto him ,
Thou hast said :
nevertheless I say unto you ,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power ,
and coming in the clouds of heaven .
*
Then the high priest rent his clothes ,
saying ,
He hath spoken blasphemy ;
what further need have we of witnesses ?
behold ,
now ye have heard his blasphemy .
*
What think ye ?
They answered and said ,
He is guilty of death .
*
Then did they spit in his face ,
and buffeted him ;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands ,
*
Saying ,
Prophesy unto us ,
thou Christ ,
Who is he that smote thee ?
*
Now Peter sat without in the palace :
and a damsel came unto him ,
saying ,
Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee .
