 ¹After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the

chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him

to death.

 ²But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

 ³And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there

came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and

she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

 ⁴And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was

this waste of the ointment made?

 ⁵For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been

given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

 ⁶And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work

on me.

 ⁷For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them

good: but me ye have not always.

 ⁸She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the

burying.

 ⁹Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the

whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

 ¹⁰And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him

unto them.

 ¹¹And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he

sought how he might conveniently betray him.

 ¹²And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his

disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest

eat the passover?

 ¹³And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the

city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

 ¹⁴And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master

saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

 ¹⁵And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make

ready for us.

 ¹⁶And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said

unto them: and they made ready the passover.

 ¹⁷And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

 ¹⁸And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which

eateth with me shall betray me.

 ¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and

another said, Is it I?

 ²⁰And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with

me in the dish.

 ²¹The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by

whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been

born.

 ²²And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to

them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

 ²³And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they

all drank of it.

 ²⁴And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for

many.

 ²⁵Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day

that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

 ²⁶And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

 ²⁷And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for

it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

 ²⁸But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

 ²⁹But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

 ³⁰And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night,

before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

 ³¹But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee

in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

 ³²And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his

disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

 ³³And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed,

and to be very heavy;

 ³⁴And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here,

and watch.

 ³⁵And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were

possible, the hour might pass from him.

 ³⁶And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup

from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

 ³⁷And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest

thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

 ³⁸Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but

the flesh is weak.

 ³⁹And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

 ⁴⁰And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,)

neither wist they what to answer him.

 ⁴¹And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your

rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the

hands of sinners.

 ⁴²Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

 ⁴³And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with

him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the

scribes and the elders.

 ⁴⁴And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall

kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

 ⁴⁵And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master,

master; and kissed him.

 ⁴⁶And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

 ⁴⁷And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high

priest, and cut off his ear.

 ⁴⁸And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief,

with swords and with staves to take me?

 ⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the

scriptures must be fulfilled.

 ⁵⁰And they all forsook him, and fled.

 ⁵¹And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his

naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

 ⁵²And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

 ⁵³And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the

chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

 ⁵⁴And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he

sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

 ⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put

him to death; and found none.

 ⁵⁶For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

 ⁵⁷And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

 ⁵⁸We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within

three days I will build another made without hands.

 ⁵⁹But neither so did their witness agree together.

 ⁶⁰And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest

thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

 ⁶¹But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him,

and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

 ⁶²And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of

power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

 ⁶³Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further

witnesses?

 ⁶⁴Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be

guilty of death.

 ⁶⁵And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to

say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their

hands.

 ⁶⁶And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the

high priest:

 ⁶⁷And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And

thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

 ⁶⁸But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he

went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

 ⁶⁹And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of

them.

 ⁷⁰And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter,

Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth

thereto.

 ⁷¹But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye

speak.

 ⁷²And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus

said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he

thought thereon, he wept.
