1 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might sieze him by deception, and kill him. 2 For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people.”
3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at
the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard —
very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head. 4 But there
were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment
been wasted? 5 For this might have been sold for more than
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you
10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief
priests, that he might deliver him to them. 11 They, when they heard it,
were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might
conveniently deliver him. 12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when
they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us
to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?”
13 He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city,
and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher
says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my
disciples?”’ 15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and
ready. Make ready for us there.”
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he
had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve. 18 As they sat and were
eating, Jesus said, “Most assuredly I tell you, one of you will betray me
— he who eats with me.”
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?”
And another said, “Surely not I?”
20 He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in
the dish. 21 For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but
woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for
that man if he had not been born.”
22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he
broke it, and gave to them, and said, “Take
23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They
all drank of it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Most assuredly I tell you, I
will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it
anew in the Kingdom of God.” 26 When they had sung a hymn, they went
out to the Mount of Olives.
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you
29 But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will
not.”
30 Jesus said to him, “Most assuredly I tell you, that you today, even
this night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three
times.”
31 But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny
you.” They all said the same thing.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his
disciples, “Sit
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if
it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 He said,
“Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup
from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you
sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, that you
39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 40 Again he
returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they
didn’t know what to answer him. 41 He came the third time, and said to
them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come.
Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Arise,
let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve,
came — and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief
priests, the scribes, and the elders. 44 Now he who betrayed him had given
them a sign, saying, “Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead
him away safely.” 45 When he had come, immediately he came to him, and
said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46 They laid their hands on him, and
seized him. 47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and
struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Jesus answered them, “Have you
50 They all left him, and fled. 51 A certain young man followed him,
having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young
men grabbed him, 52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the
elders, and the scribes came together with him.
54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of
the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the
light of the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought
witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none. 56 For many
gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each
other. 57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
58 “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.’” 59 Even so,
their testimony did not agree.
60 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, “Have you no
answer? What is it which these testify against you?” 61 But he stayed
quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Jesus said, “I AM. You
63 The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we
of witnesses? 64 You
66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high
priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and
said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are
saying.” He went out on the porch, and the cock crowed.
69 The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is
one of them.” 70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those
who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a
Galilean, and your speech shows it.” 71 But he began to curse, and to
swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you
