King James Version
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.
After
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
.
“
But not during
the feast ,”
they
said
, “or
there may
be a
riot
among
the people. ”
But they
said,
Not on
the feast day
, lest
there be an
uproar
of
the people.
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.
And
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.
Some of
those
present
, however
, expressed
their
indignation
to
one
another:
“
Why this waste of perfume
?
And
there
were
some that
had
indignation
within
themselves
, and
said
, Why was
this waste of the
ointment
made
?
It could
have been sold for over
three hundred denarii
and the
money
given to the poor. ”
And they scolded
her.
For
it might
have been sold for more
than
three hundred pence,
and have
been
given to the poor. And they murmured
against
her.
But
Jesus said, “Leave
her alone; why are
you
bothering
her? She has
done
a beautiful
deed
to
Me.
And
Jesus said, Let
her alone; why trouble
ye
her? she hath
wrought
a good
work
on
me.
The poor you
will
always
have
with you, and you
can
help
them whenever
you
want.
But you
will
not always have
Me
.
For
ye
have
the poor with you always
, and whensoever
ye
will
ye
may
do
them good:
but me
ye
have
not always.
She has
done what she could to anoint My body in
advance
of
My
burial
.
She hath
done what she could :
she
is
come
aforehand
to anoint my body to
the
burying
.
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. ”
Verily
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.
Then
Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to
the chief priests to betray Jesus
to
them.
And
Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto
the chief priests ,
to betray 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
when
they heard
it,
they
were glad
, and promised to give him money. And
he
sought
how
he
might
conveniently
betray him
.
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
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?
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
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 .
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 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?
And he will show
you a large upper room ,
furnished and ready.
Make preparations
for us there
. ”
And he will shew
you a large upper room furnished and prepared:
there
make ready
for us.
So
the
disciples
left
and went into the city, where
they
found everything
as Jesus
had described.
And they prepared
the Passover.
And his
disciples
went forth,
and
came
into the city, and
found as he
had said
unto
them:
and they made
ready
the passover.
When
evening came,
Jesus
arrived
with the Twelve.
And
in
the
evening he
cometh
with the twelve.
And while
they were
reclining
and eating
, Jesus said, “Truly
I tell
you, one of you who
is
eating
with Me will
betray Me. ”
And as
they sat
and did
eat
, Jesus said, Verily
I say
unto
you, One of you which
eateth
with me shall
betray me.
They began to be grieved
and to ask
Him one after
another, “Surely
not
I? ”
And
they began to be sorrowful,
and to say
unto
him one by
one,
Is
it
I?
and
another said
, Is
it
I?
He answered, “
It is one of the Twelve —the
one
who
is
dipping
his
hand
into
the
bowl
with Me.
And
he answered and
said
unto
them
, It is one of the twelve ,
that
dippeth
with me in
the
dish
.
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. ”
The 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.
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
as
they did
eat
, Jesus took bread, and blessed,
and
brake
it, and gave to them
, and
said
, Take ,
eat:
this is my body.
Then
He took the cup, gave
thanks, and
gave it to them ,
and they all drank from
it.
And
he took the cup, and
when
he
had
given
thanks, he
gave it to them :
and they all drank of
it.
He said to
them, “
This is My blood of the covenant
, which is poured
out
for many.
And
he said unto
them, This is my blood of the new
testament
, which is shed
for many.
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. ”
Verily
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.
And when they had sung a
hymn, they went out to
the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sung an
hymn, they went out into
the mount of Olives.
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. ’
And
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.
But after I have
risen, I will go ahead
of
you into Galilee. ”
But after that
I am
risen, I will go before
you into Galilee.
Peter declared
, “Even
if
all fall
away
, I
never
will. ”
But
Peter said
unto
him
, Although
all shall
be
offended
, yet
will not
I
.
“Truly
I tell
you
, ”
Jesus
replied
, “
this very
night, before the rooster
crows
twice, you
will
deny Me three
times
. ”
And
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
.
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
.
But he
spake
the
more
vehemently
, If I should
die with thee
, I will not
deny thee
in
any
wise
. Likewise
also
said they
all
.
Then
they came to a place called
Gethsemane ,
and Jesus
told
His disciples, “
Sit here while I pray. ”
And
they came to a place which
was
named
Gethsemane :
and he
saith
to
his disciples, Sit ye
here ,
while I shall
pray.
He took
with Him Peter ,
James ,
and John, and began to be deeply
troubled
and distressed.
And
he taketh
with him Peter and
James and John, and began to be sore
amazed,
and to
be
very
heavy;
Then
He
said
to
them, “
My soul is consumed
with
sorrow
to
the
point
of
death .
Stay
here and keep
watch. ”
And
saith
unto
them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful
unto
death :
tarry
ye
here ,
and watch.
Going
a little farther
, He
fell to
the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would
pass from Him.
And
he
went
forward
a little, and
fell on
the ground ,
and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might
pass from him.
“
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
said,
Abba, Father, all things are possible unto
thee;
take away
this cup from me :
nevertheless
not what I will, but what thou
wilt
.
Then
Jesus
returned
and found
them sleeping .
“
Simon, are
you
asleep
? ”
He
asked.
“Were
you
not able
to
keep
watch for
one hour?
And he
cometh,
and
findeth
them sleeping ,
and
saith
unto
Peter,
Simon, sleepest
thou
? couldest
not thou
watch one hour?
Watch and pray so
that
you
will
not
enter into temptation. For
the spirit is willing
, but the body
is weak. ”
Watch ye
and pray ,
lest
ye
enter into temptation. The spirit truly
is ready
, but the flesh
is weak.
Again He went away and prayed, saying
the same thing
.
And
again he went away ,
and prayed, and
spake
the same words
.
And again
Jesus
returned and
found them sleeping—
for their eyes were heavy .
And
they did
not
know
what to answer Him.
And when
he
returned ,
he
found them asleep
again,
(
for their eyes were heavy ,)
neither
wist
they what to answer him.
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.
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.
Rise, let us go .
See
, My
betrayer
is approaching!”
Rise up
, let us go ;
lo
, he
that
betrayeth
me
is at
hand.
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.
And
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.
Now
the
betrayer
had arranged
a
signal
with
them :
“The
One
I kiss is the
man
; arrest
Him and lead Him away securely
. ”
And
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
.
Going
directly
to
Jesus
, he said
, “Rabbi!”
and kissed Him.
And
as
soon
as
he
was
come
, he goeth
straightway
to
him
, and saith,
Master,
master;
and
kissed him.
Then
the
men
seized
Jesus
and arrested
Him.
And they
laid
their
hands
on
him ,
and
took
him
.
And one of the
bystanders
drew his
sword and struck
the
servant of the high priest, cutting
off his ear.
And one of them
that
stood
by
drew a
sword ,
and smote
a
servant of the high priest, and
cut
off his ear.
Jesus asked
the
crowd
, “Have
you
come out with swords and clubs
to arrest
Me as
you
would
an
outlaw
?
And
Jesus answered
and
said
unto
them
, Are
ye
come out ,
as
against
a
thief,
with swords and with
staves
to take
me?
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. ”
I was daily
with you in the temple teaching
, and ye
took
me not:
but the scriptures must
be fulfilled.
Then
everyone
deserted
Him and fled.
And
they
all
forsook
him ,
and fled.
One
young man who
had
been
following
Jesus
was
wearing
a linen cloth around
his body .
They
caught
hold of
him ,
And
there
followed
him
a
certain
young man ,
having
a linen cloth cast
about
his naked
body ;
and
the
young
men
laid
hold on
him :
but
he pulled
free
of
the linen cloth and ran
away
naked.
And
he left
the linen cloth ,
and fled
from
them
naked.
They led Jesus away to the high priest ,
and all the chief priests ,
elders ,
and scribes assembled
.
And
they led Jesus away to the high priest :
and with
him
were
assembled
all the chief priests and
the
elders and the
scribes.
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.
And
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.
Now
the chief priests and the whole
Sanhedrin
were
seeking
testimony
against Jesus to put Him to death ,
but
they
did
not
find
any
.
And
the chief priests and all
the council
sought
for
witness
against Jesus to put him to death ;
and
found
none
.
For many bore
false witness against Jesus
, but their testimony
was
inconsistent
.
For many bare
false witness against him
, but their witness
agreed
not
together
.
Then
some
men
stood
up
and testified
falsely
against Him :
And there
arose
certain,
and
bare
false
witness
against him ,
saying,
“
We heard Him say, ‘
I will destroy this man-made
temple, and in
three days I will build another that
is
made without hands. ’”
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that
is
made
with
hands
, and within
three days I will build another made without hands.
But even
their testimony
was
inconsistent
.
But neither
so
did
their witness
agree
together
.
So
the high priest stood up before
them
and questioned
Jesus, “Have
You
no
answer
? What are
these men
testifying
against You
? ”
And
the high priest stood up in
the
midst,
and asked
Jesus, saying,
Answerest
thou
nothing
? what is
it
which
these witness
against thee
?
But Jesus
remained
silent
and made
no
reply
. Again the high priest questioned
Him, “Are
You
the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One
? ”
But 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?
“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
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.
At
this,
the high priest tore
his clothes and declared
, “Why
do
we
need any more
witnesses?
Then
the high priest rent
his clothes ,
and saith
, What
need we
any further
witnesses?
You
have heard the blasphemy .
What is
your
verdict
? ”
And they all condemned Him as
deserving
of death.
Ye
have heard the blasphemy :
what think
ye
? And they all condemned him to
be
guilty
of death.
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
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
.
While
Peter was in the courtyard
below
, one of the servant
girls
of the high priest came
down
And
as
Peter was beneath
in the palace
, there
cometh
one of the maids
of the high priest :
and saw him
warming himself there.
She looked at
Peter
and said, “You
also were
with Jesus the
Nazarene
. ”
And when
she
saw Peter
warming himself ,
she looked upon
him,
and said, And
thou
also wast
with Jesus of
Nazareth
.
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
.
But he denied ,
saying,
I know not,
neither
understand I
what thou
sayest
. And
he went out into
the porch;
and the cock
crew
.
There
the
servant
girl
saw him and
again said
to those
standing
nearby
, “
This man
is one of them. ”
And
a
maid
saw him again ,
and
began
to say
to
them
that
stood
by
, This is one of them.
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
. ”
And
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
.
But he began to curse and swear, “
I do
not
know this man of whom you
speak !”
But he began to curse and to
swear, saying,
I know not
this man of whom ye
speak .
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.
And 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.
