'When3Jesus6had finished4all7these10sayings,9he said to11his14disciples,13 “You know1that2after3two4days5the6Passover7is coming,8and9the10Son11of Man13[will] be delivered up14to be crucified.”17 Then1the3chief priests4and5the6elders7of the8people9gathered2in10the11palace12of the13high priest,14whose name was16Caiaphas,17 and1plotted together2in order to3arrest7Jesus5by stealth6and8kill9him. But2they said,1“Not3during4the5feast,6lest78there be10an uproar9among11the12people.”13 Now2when4Jesus3was4at5Bethany6in7the house8of Simon9the10leper,11 a woman3came up to1him2with4an alabaster flask5of very expensive7ointment,6and8she poured9iton10his13head12as he reclined at table.14 And2when1the3disciples4saw1it,they were indignant,5saying,6“Why78this11waste?10 For2this3could1have been sold for4a large sum5and6given7to the poor.”8 But2Jesus,4aware1of this,said5to them,6“Why7doyou trouble89the10woman?11For13she has done15a beautiful14thing12to16me.17 For2you5always1have5the3poor4with6you,7but9you will12not10always11have12me.8 In pouring1this6ointment5on7my10body,9she3has done15itto prepare13me14for11burial.13 Truly,1I say2to you,3wherever45this9gospel8is proclaimed6in10the12whole11world,13what16she18has done17will14also15be told14in19memory20of her.”21 Then1one3of the4twelve,5whose name was7Judas8Iscariot,9went2to10the11chief priests12 andsaid,1“What2will you3give5me4[if] I6deliver8him9over8to you?7”And11they10paid12him13thirty14pieces of silver.15 And1from2that moment3he sought4an opportunity5to betray68him.7 Now2on the1first [day]3of Unleavened Bread5the7disciples8came to6Jesus,10saying,11“Where12will you have13us prepare14for you15to eat16the17Passover?”18 He1said,3“Go4into5the6city7to8a certain man910and11say12to him,13‘The14Teacher15says,16My19time18is21at hand.20I will keep24the25Passover26at22your [house]23with27my30disciples.’”29 And1the3disciples4did2as5Jesus9had directed6them,7and10they prepared11the12Passover.13 When it was3evening,1he reclined at table4with5the6twelve.7 And1as2they3were eating,2he said,4“Truly,5I say6to you,7one9of10you11will betray12me.”13 And1they were2very3sorrowful2andbegan4to say5to him6one7[after] another,8“Is it911I,10Lord?”12 He1answered,3“He5who has dipped6hishand10in11the12dish13with7me8will betray16me.15 The1Son3of Man5goes6as7it is written8of9him,10but12woe11to that15man14by16whom17the18Son19of Man21is betrayed!22It would have been24better23forthat31man30if26he25had28not27been born.”28 Judas,3who would betray5him,6answered,1“Is it810I,9Rabbi?”11He said12to him,13“You14have said15so.” Now2as1they3were eating,1Jesus6took4bread,7and8afterblessing9itbroke10itand11gave12itto the13disciples,14andsaid,15“Take,16eat;17this18is19my22body.”21 And1he took2a cup,3and4when he had given thanks5he gave6itto them,7saying,8“Drink9of10it,11all12of you, for2this1is3my6blood5of the7covenant,8which4is poured out12for13many11for10the forgiveness14of sins.15 I tell1you3I will6not45drink21againof9this10fruit12of the13vine14until15that18day17when19I drink21it20new24with22you23in25my30Father’s29kingdom.”27 And1when they had sung a hymn,2they went out3to4the5Mount6of Olives.8 Then1Jesus5said2to them,3“You7will8all6fall away8because of9me10this14night.13For16it is written,15‘I will strike17the18shepherd,19and20the22sheep23of the24flock25will be scattered.’21 But2after1I5am raised up,4I will go before6you7to8Galilee.”10 Peter4answered1him,6“Though7they9all8fall away9because of10you,11I12will14never13fall away.”14 Jesus4said1to him,2“Truly,5I tell6you,7this very10night,12before13the rooster14crows,15you will deny17me18three times.”16 Peter4said1to him,2“Even if5I7must6die10with8you,9I will14not1112deny14you!”13And16all17the18disciples19said20the same.15 Then1Jesus6went2with3them4to7a place8called9Gethsemane,10and11he said12to [his] disciples,14“Sit15here,16while1718I go over19there20andpray.”21 And1taking with him2Peter4and5the6two7sons8of Zebedee,9he began10to be sorrowful11and12troubled.13 Then1he said2to them,3“My8soul7is5very sorrowful,4even to9death;10remain11here,12and13watch14with15me.”16 And1going2a little3farther2he fell4on5his7face6and9prayed,8saying,10“My12Father,11if13it be15possible,14let16this21cup20pass16from17me;18nevertheless,22not23as24I25will,26but27as28you29will.” And1he came2to3the4disciples5and6found7them8sleeping.9And10he said11to Peter,13“So,14could you16not15watch19with20me21one17hour?18 Watch1and2pray3that4you may6not5enter6into7temptation.8The9spirit11indeed10iswilling,12but14the13flesh15isweak.”16 Again,1for2the second time,3he went away4andprayed,5“My8Father,7if9this12cannot1011pass13unless1415I drink17it,16your21will20be done.”18 And1again3he came2andfound4them5sleeping,6for8their9eyes11were7heavy.12 So,1leaving2them3again,4he went away5andprayed6for7the third time,8saying12the9same10words11again.13 Then1he came2to3the4disciples5and6said7to them,8“Sleep9and12take your rest13later on.11See,14the16hour17is at hand,15and18the19Son20of Man22is betrayed23into24the hands25of sinners.26 Rise,1let us be going;2see,3my7betrayer6is at hand.”4 While4he3was4still2speaking,4Judas6came,10one7of the8twelve,9and11with12him13a great15crowd14with16swords17and18clubs,19from20the21chief priests22and23the elders24of the25people.26 Now2the1betrayer3had given5them6a sign,7saying,8“The one9I will kiss11is13the man;12seize14him.”15 And1he came up3to Jesus5at once2andsaid,6“Greetings,7Rabbi!”8And9he kissed10him.11 Jesus3said4to him,5“Friend,6dowhat78you came9to do.”Then10they came up11andlaid12hands14on15Jesus17and18seized19him.20 And1behold,2one3of those4who werewith5Jesus6stretched out7hishand9anddrew10his13sword12and14struck15the16servant17of the18high priest19andcut off20his21ear.23 Then1Jesus5said2to him,3“Put6your9sword8back6into10its13place.12For15all14who take17the sword18will perish21by19the sword.20 Doyou think2that3I cannot45appeal to6my9Father,8and10he will11at once13send11me12more than14twelve15legions16of angels?17 Buthow1then2should3the4Scriptures5be fulfilled,3that6it must8be9so?”7 At1that2hour4Jesus7said5to the8crowds,9“Have you come out13as10against11a robber,12with14swords15and16clubs17to capture18me?19Day after day2021I sat25in22the23temple24teaching,26and27you did29not28seize29me.30 But2all3this1has taken place4that5the7Scriptures8of the9prophets10might be fulfilled.”6Then11all14the12disciples13left15him16andfled.17 Then2those1who had seized3Jesus5led [him]6to7Caiaphas8the9high priest,10where11the12scribes13and14the15elders16had gathered.17 And2Peter3was following4him5at6a distance,7as far as8the9courtyard10of the11high priest,12and13going14inside15he sat16with17the18guards19to see20the21end.22 Now2the1chief priests3and4the5whole7council6were seeking8false testimony9against10Jesus12that13they might put15him14to death,15 but1they found3none,2thoughmany4false witnesses6came forward.5At last7two10came forward9 andsaid,1“This man2said,3‘I am able4to destroy5the6temple7of God,9and10to rebuild14itin11three12days.’”13 And1the3high priest4stood up2andsaid,5“Have you8no7answer to make?8What9is it thatthese men10testify against12you?”11 But2Jesus3remained silent.4And5the6high priest7said8to him,9“I adjure10you11by12the13living16God,14tell19us18if20you21are22the23Christ,24the25Son26of God.”28 Jesus4said1to him,2“You5have said6so.But7I tell8you,9from10now on11you will see12the13Son14of Man16seated17at18the20right hand19of Power21and22coming23on24the25clouds26of heaven.”28 Then1the2high priest3tore4his7robes6andsaid,8“He has uttered blasphemy.9What10further11witnesses14dowe need?1213You have17now16heard17hisblasphemy.19 What1is3your2judgment?”3They4answered,6“He10deserves8death.”9 Then1they spit2in3his6face5and7struck8him.9And11some10slapped12him, saying,1“Prophesy2to us,3[you] Christ!4Who5is6it7that struck8you?”9 Now2Peter3was sitting4outside5in6the7courtyard.8And9a12servant girl13came up to10him11andsaid,14“You16also15were17with18Jesus19the20Galilean.”21 But2he1denied3itbefore4[them] all,5saying,6“I do8not7know8what9you mean.”10 And2when he went out1to3the4entrance,5another [servant girl]8saw6him,7and9she said10to the11[bystanders],12“This man13was14with15Jesus16of Nazareth.”18 And1again2he denied3itwith4an oath:5“I do8not7know8the9man.”10 After1a little while2the5bystanders6came up4andsaid7to Peter,9“Certainly10you12too11are15[one] of13them,14for17your20accent19betrays2123you.”22 Then1he began2to invoke a curse3on himselfand4to swear,5“I do8not7know8the9man.10”And11immediately12the rooster13crowed.14 And1Peter4remembered2the5saying6of Jesus,7“Before10the rooster11crows,12you will deny14me15three times.”13And16he went17out18andwept19bitterly.20
