Berean Standard Bible
Now after
two
days
was
`
the feast
of'
the
passover and the unleavened bread :
and the chief priests and the
scribes sought
how
they
might
take
him
with
subtlety,
and kill him :
Now the Passover and the Feast
of
Unleavened Bread were
two
days
away,
and the chief priests and scribes were
looking
for
a
covert
way
to
arrest
Jesus
and kill Him .
for
they
said,
Not during the feast, lest
haply
there shall
be a tumult
of
the people.
“But
not during the feast, ”
they
said,
“or
there may
be a riot
among
the people. ”
And
while he
was in Bethany in the house
of Simon the leper, as
he
sat
at
meat,
there
came
a woman having
an alabaster cruse
of ointment
of pure nard very
costly;
`and'
she brake
the cruse,
and poured it over
his
head.
While Jesus
was in Bethany reclining
at
the
table
in the home
of Simon the Leper, a woman came
with
an alabaster jar
of expensive
perfume,
made
of pure nard .
She broke
open
the jar
and poured it on
Jesus’
head.
But
there
were
some that
had
indignation
among
themselves
, `saying'
, To what
purpose
hath
this waste of the
ointment
been
made
?
Some of
those
present
, however
, expressed
their
indignation
to one
another:
“Why
this waste of perfume
?
For
this
ointment
might
have been sold for above
three hundred shillings,
and given to the poor. And they murmured
against
her.
It
could
have been sold for over
three hundred denarii
and the
money
given to the poor. ”
And they scolded
her.
But Jesus said, Let
her alone; why trouble
ye
her? she hath
wrought
a good
work
on
me.
But Jesus said, “Leave
her alone; why are
you
bothering
her? She has
done
a beautiful
deed
to
Me.
For
ye
have
the poor always with you, and whensoever
ye
will
ye
can do
them good:
but me
ye
have
not always.
The poor you
will
always have
with you, and you
can help
them whenever
you
want.
But you
will
not always have
Me
.
She hath
done what she could ;
she
hath
anointed
my body beforehand
for
the
burying
.
She has
done what she could to
anoint
My body in
advance
of
My
burial
.
And verily
I say
unto
you, Wheresoever
the gospel shall
be
preached throughout
the whole
world, that
also
which
this
woman
hath
done shall
be spoken
of
for
a
memorial
of her.
And truly
I tell
you, wherever
the gospel is
preached in
all
the world, what
she
has
done will
also
be told
in
memory
of her. ”
And
Judas Iscariot, he
that
was
one of the twelve, went away
unto
the chief priests ,
that
he
might
deliver
him
unto
them.
Then
Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to
the chief priests to
betray
Jesus
to
them.
And
they ,
when
they
heard
it,
were glad
, and promised to give him money. And
he
sought
how
he
might
conveniently
deliver
him
`unto
them'
.
They were delighted
to
hear
this
, and they
promised to give him money. So
Judas
began
to
look
for
an
opportunity
to
betray
Jesus
.
And
on the first day of unleavened bread, when they
sacrificed
the passover, his
disciples say
unto
him, Where wilt
thou
that
we
go
and
make
ready
that
thou
mayest
eat the passover?
On the first day of the
Feast
of
Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb
was
to
be
sacrificed
, Jesus’
disciples asked
Him, “
Where do
You
want
us
to
prepare
for
You
to
eat the Passover? ”
And
he sendeth
two of his disciples ,
and saith
unto
them, Go into the city, and there
shall
meet
you
a man bearing
a pitcher
of water :
follow him ;
So
He sent
two of His disciples and told
them, “
Go into the city, and a man carrying
a jug
of water will
meet
you.
Follow him ,
and wheresoever
he shall
enter
in
, say to the master
of
the
house
, The Teacher saith,
Where is my guest -chamber
, where I shall
eat the passover with my disciples?
and whichever
house
he enters
, say to the owner
, ‘
The Teacher asks:
Where is My guest room
, where I may
eat the Passover with My disciples? ’
And he will himself
show you a large upper room furnished `
and '
ready :
and
there
make ready
for us.
And he will show you a large upper room ,
furnished and ready .
Make preparations
for us there
. ”
And
the disciples went
forth,
and came
into the city, and
found as he
had said
unto
them:
and they made
ready
the passover.
So
the disciples left
and went
into the city, where
they
found everything
as Jesus
had described.
And they prepared
the Passover.
And
when it
was
evening he
cometh
with the twelve.
When evening came,
Jesus
arrived
with the Twelve.
And as
they sat
and
were eating, Jesus said, Verily
I say
unto
you, One of you shall
betray
me,
`even'
he
that
eateth
with me.
And while
they were reclining
and
eating, Jesus said, “Truly
I tell
you, one of you who
is
eating
with Me will
betray
Me
. ”
They began to be sorrowful,
and to say
unto
him one by
one
, Is
it
I?
They began to be grieved
and to ask
Him one after
another
, “Surely
not
I? ”
And
he said
unto
them
, `
It is '
one of the twelve ,
he
that
dippeth
with me in
the
dish
.
He answered
, “
It is one of the Twelve —the
one
who
is
dipping
his
hand
into
the
bowl
with Me.
For
the Son of man goeth,
even
as it is written of
him :
but woe unto
that man through
whom the
Son
of
man
is betrayed! good
were
it for that
man
if he had not been born.
The Son of Man will
go
just
as it is written about
Him ,
but woe to
that man by
whom He
is betrayed! It would
be
better
for him
if he had not been born. ”
And
as
they were eating, he
took bread, and when
he
had
blessed,
he
brake
it, and gave to them
, and
said
, Take ye:
this is my body.
While
they were eating, Jesus
took bread, spoke
a
blessing
and broke
it, and gave it
to the
disciples
, saying
, “
Take it;
this is My body. ”
And
he took a
cup, and
when
he
had
given
thanks, he
gave to them :
and they all drank of
it.
Then
He took the
cup, gave
thanks, and
gave it
to them ,
and they all drank from
it.
And
he said unto
them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
He said to
them, “
This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Verily
I say
unto
you, I shall
no more
drink of the fruit of the vine ,
until that day when I drink it new
in the kingdom of God.
Truly
I tell
you, I will
no longer
drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew
in the kingdom of God. ”
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto
the mount of Olives.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to
the Mount of Olives.
And
Jesus saith
unto
them, All ye
shall
be
offended:
for it is written ,
I will smite
the shepherd, and the sheep shall
be scattered abroad
.
Then
Jesus said
to
them, “You
will
all fall
away,
for it is written :
‘
I will strike
the Shepherd, and the sheep will
be scattered. ’
Howbeit,
after I am
raised
up
, I will go before
you into Galilee.
But
after I have
risen
, I will go ahead
of
you into Galilee. ”
But
Peter said
unto
him
, Although
all shall
be
offended
, yet
will
not
I.
Peter declared
, “Even
if
all fall
away
, I never
will
. ”
And
Jesus
saith
unto
him,
Verily
I say
unto
thee
, that
thou
to-day
, `even'
this night, before the cock
crow
twice, shalt
deny me thrice
.
“Truly
I tell
you
, ”
Jesus
replied
, “
this very
night, before the rooster
crows
twice, you
will
deny Me three
times
. ”
But he
spake
exceedingly
vehemently
, If I must
die with thee
, I will not
deny thee
. And in
like
manner
also
said
they
all.
But Peter
kept
insisting
, “Even
if I have
to
die with You
, I will never
deny You
. ”
And all the
others
said
the
same
thing
.
And
they come
unto
a place which
was
named
Gethsemane :
and he
saith
unto
his disciples, Sit ye
here ,
while I pray.
Then
they came
to
a place called
Gethsemane ,
and Jesus
told
His disciples, “
Sit here while I pray. ”
And
he taketh
with him Peter and
James and John, and began to be greatly
amazed,
and
sore
troubled.
He took
with Him Peter ,
James ,
and John, and began to be deeply
troubled and
distressed
.
And
he saith
unto
them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful
even
unto
death :
abide
ye
here ,
and watch.
Then
He said
to
them, “
My soul is consumed
with
sorrow
to
the
point
of
death .
Stay
here and keep
watch. ”
And
he
went
forward
a little, and
fell on
the ground ,
and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might
pass away
from him.
Going
a little farther
, He
fell to
the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would
pass from Him.
And
he
said,
Abba, Father, all things are possible unto
thee;
remove
this cup from me :
howbeit
not what I will, but what thou
wilt
.
“
Abba, Father, ”
He
said,
“
all things are possible for
You.
Take
this cup from Me .
Yet
not what I will, but what You
will
. ”
And
he
cometh,
and findeth
them sleeping ,
and
saith
unto
Peter,
Simon, sleepest
thou
? couldest
thou
not watch one hour?
Then
Jesus
returned
and found
them sleeping .
“
Simon, are
you
asleep
? ”
He
asked.
“Were
you
not able
to
keep
watch for
one hour?
Watch and pray ,
that ye
enter
not into temptation :
the spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh
is weak.
Watch and pray so
that you
will
not enter
into temptation .
For
the spirit is willing, but the body
is weak. ”
And
again he went away ,
and prayed, saying the same words
.
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing
.
And again he
came,
and found them sleeping ,
for their eyes were very
heavy ;
and they knew
not what to answer him.
And again Jesus
returned
and found them sleeping —
for their eyes were heavy .
And they did
not know
what to answer Him.
And
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.
When
Jesus
returned
the third time, He
said
, “Are
you
still
sleeping
and resting?
That
is enough !
The hour has
come .
Look
, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Arise
, let us be
going:
behold
, he
that
betrayeth
me
is at
hand.
Rise
, let us go.
See
, My
betrayer
is approaching!”
And
straightway,
while he
yet
spake
, cometh
Judas, one of the twelve, and
with
him
a multitude
with swords and staves
, from the chief priests and
the
scribes and the
elders.
While Jesus
was
still
speaking
, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived,
accompanied
by
a crowd
armed
with swords and clubs
, sent
from the chief priests ,
scribes ,
and elders.
Now he
that
betrayed
him
had given
them
a token,
saying,
Whomsoever
I shall
kiss ,
that
is he
; take
him ,
and lead him away safely
.
Now the
betrayer
had arranged
a signal
with
them:
“The
One
I kiss is the
man
; arrest
Him and lead Him away securely
. ”
And
when
he
was
come,
straightway
he
came
to him
, and
saith
, Rabbi ;
and kissed him.
Going
directly
to Jesus
, he
said
, “
Rabbi !”
and kissed Him.
And
they
laid
hands
on
him,
and took
him.
Then
the
men
seized
Jesus
and arrested
Him.
But
a
certain
one of them
that
stood
by
drew his sword ,
and smote
the servant of the high priest, and
struck
off his ear.
And
one of the
bystanders
drew his sword and struck
the servant of the high priest, cutting
off his ear.
And
Jesus answered
and
said
unto
them
, Are
ye
come out ,
as
against
a
robber,
with swords and staves
to seize
me?
Jesus asked
the
crowd
, “Have
you
come out with swords and clubs
to arrest
Me as
you
would
an
outlaw
?
I was daily
with you in the temple teaching
, and ye
took
me
not :
but `
this is
done'
that the scriptures might
be fulfilled.
Every
day
I was with you ,
teaching
in the temple courts
, and you
did
not arrest
Me.
But this has
happened
that the Scriptures would
be fulfilled. ”
And
they
all
left
him ,
and fled.
Then
everyone
deserted
Him and fled.
And
a
certain
young man followed
with
him,
having
a linen cloth cast
about
him,
over
`
his '
naked
`
body ':
and
they lay
hold on
him ;
One
young man who
had
been
following
Jesus
was
wearing
a linen cloth around
his body .
They caught
hold of
him ,
but he left
the linen cloth ,
and fled
naked.
but he pulled
free
of
the linen cloth and ran
away
naked.
And
they led Jesus away to the high priest :
and there
come
together
with
him
all the chief priests and
the
elders and the
scribes.
They led Jesus away to the high priest ,
and all the chief priests ,
elders ,
and scribes assembled
.
And
Peter had
followed him afar
off,
even
within
, into the court
of the high priest ;
and he was
sitting
with the officers ,
and warming
himself in
the
light
`of
the fire '
.
Peter followed Him at
a
distance
, right
into the courtyard
of the high priest .
And he sat
with the officers and warmed
himself by
the fire.
Now the chief priests and the whole council
sought
witness
against Jesus to put him to death ;
and
found
it
not.
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin
were
seeking
testimony
against Jesus to put Him to death ,
but
they
did
not find
any
.
For many bare
false witness against him
, and
their witness
agreed
not
together
.
For many bore
false witness against Jesus
, but
their testimony
was
inconsistent
.
And
there
stood up certain,
and bare
false
witness
against him ,
saying,
Then
some
men
stood up and testified
falsely
against Him :
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple
that
is
made with
hands
, and in three days I will build another made without hands.
“
We heard Him say, ‘
I will destroy this man-
made temple
, and in three days I will build another that
is
made without hands. ’”
And
not
even so
did
their witness
agree
together
.
But
even their testimony
was
inconsistent
.
And
the high priest stood up in
the
midst,
and asked
Jesus, saying,
Answerest
thou
nothing
? what is
it
which
these witness
against thee
?
So
the high priest stood up before
them
and questioned
Jesus, “Have
You
no
answer
? What are
these men
testifying
against You
? ”
But he
held
his
peace,
and answered
nothing
. Again the high priest asked
him,
and
saith
unto
him, Art
thou
the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
But Jesus
remained
silent
and made
no
reply
. Again the high priest questioned
Him, “Are
You
the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One
? ”
And
Jesus
said,
I am :
and ye
shall
see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power ,
and coming with the clouds of heaven.
“
I am ,”
said
Jesus,
“
and you
will
see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven. ”
And
the high priest rent
his clothes ,
and saith
, What
further
need
have
we of
witnesses?
At
this,
the high priest tore
his clothes and declared
, “Why
do
we need
any
more
witnesses?
Ye
have heard the blasphemy :
what think
ye
? And they all condemned him to
be
worthy
of death.
You
have heard the blasphemy .
What is
your
verdict
? ”
And they all condemned Him as
deserving
of death.
And
some began to spit on him ,
and
to
cover
his
face
, and
to
buffet
him, and to say
unto
him, Prophesy :
and the officers received him with blows
of
their
hands
.
Then
some of
them
began to spit on Him .
They
blindfolded
Him
, struck
Him with
their
fists
, and said
to Him, “
Prophesy !”
And the officers received Him with slaps
in
His
face
.
And
as
Peter was beneath
in the court
, there
cometh
one of the maids
of the high priest ;
While
Peter was in the courtyard
below
, one of the servant
girls
of the high priest came
down
and seeing
Peter
warming himself ,
she looked upon
him,
and saith
, Thou
also wast
with the Nazarene ,
`even'
Jesus
.
and saw
him
warming himself there.
She looked at
Peter
and said
, “You
also were
with Jesus
the Nazarene. ”
But he denied ,
saying,
I neither
know ,
nor
understand what thou
sayest:
and
he went out into
the porch;
and the cock
crew
.
But he denied it.
“
I do
not
know or
even
understand what you
are
talking
about,”
he said.
Then
he
went out to
the gateway,
and the rooster
crowed
.
And
the maid
saw him ,
and began
again to
say
to them
that
stood
by
, This is `
one '
of them.
There
the servant
girl
saw him and again said
to those
standing
nearby
, “
This man
is one of them. ”
But he again
denied it. And
after a little while again
they
that
stood
by
said to Peter, of
a
truth
thou
art
`
one '
of them ;
for thou
art
a Galilaean
.
But he denied it again
. After a little while ,
those
standing
nearby
said once
more
to Peter, “Surely
you
are
one of them ,
for you
too
are
a Galilean
. ”
But he began to curse ,
and to
swear, I know
not this man of whom ye
speak .
But he began to curse and swear, “
I do
not know
this man of whom you
speak !”
And straightway
the second time the
cock
crew
. And
Peter called
to
mind
the word ,
how
that Jesus said
unto
him ,
Before the cock
crow
twice, thou
shalt
deny me thrice
. And when
he thought
thereon,
he
wept.
And immediately
the rooster
crowed
a
second time. Then
Peter remembered
the word that Jesus had
spoken
to
him :
“
Before the rooster
crows
twice, you
will
deny Me three
times
. ”
And he broke
down
and
wept.
