1 Now the feast of un­leav­ened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the peo­ple. 3 Then en­tered Sa­tan into Ju­das sur­named Is­car­i­ot, be­ing of the num­ber of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and com­muned with the chief priests and cap­tains, how he might be­tray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenant­ed to give him mon­ey. 6 And he promised, and sought op­por­tu­ni­ty to be­tray him unto them in the ab­sence of the mul­ti­tude. 7 Then came the day of un­leav­ened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Pe­ter and John, say­ing, Go and pre­pare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we pre­pare? 10 And he said unto them, Be­hold, when ye are en­tered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bear­ing a pitch­er of wa­ter; fol­low him into the house where he en­tereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the good­man of the house, The Mas­ter saith unto thee, Where is the guestcham­ber, where I shall eat the passover with my dis­ci­ples? 12 And he shall shew you a large up­per room fur­nished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apos­tles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With de­sire I have de­sired to eat this passover with you be­fore I suf­fer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat there­of, un­til it be ful­filled in the king­dom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and di­vide it among your­selves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, un­til the king­dom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, say­ing, This is my body which is giv­en for you: this do in re­mem­brance of me. 20 Like­wise also the cup af­ter sup­per, say­ing, This cup is the new tes­ta­ment in my blood, which is shed for you. 21 But, be­hold, the hand of him that be­trayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And tru­ly the Son of man goeth, as it was de­ter­mined: but woe unto that man by whom he is be­trayed! 23 And they be­gan to en­quire among them­selves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be ac­count­ed the great­est. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gen­tiles ex­er­cise lord­ship over them; and they that ex­er­cise au­thor­i­ty upon them are called bene­fac­tors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is great­est among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater, he that sit­teth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sit­teth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they which have con­tin­ued with me in my temp­ta­tions. 29 And I ap­point unto you a king­dom, as my Fa­ther hath ap­point­ed unto me; 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my king­dom, and sit on thrones judg­ing the twelve tribes of Is­rael. 31 And the Lord said, Si­mon, Si­mon, be­hold, Sa­tan hath de­sired ­to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art con­vert­ed, strength­en thy brethren. 33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell thee, Pe­ter, the cock shall not crow this day, be­fore that thou shalt thrice deny that thou know­est me. 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you with­out purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Noth­ing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and like­wise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his gar­ment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is writ­ten must yet be ac­com­plished in me, And he was reck­oned among the trans­gres­sors: for the things con­cern­ing me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, be­hold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his dis­ci­ples also fol­lowed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye en­ter not into temp­ta­tion. 41 And he was with­drawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Say­ing, Fa­ther, if thou be will­ing, re­move this cup from me: nev­er­the­less not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there ap­peared an an­gel unto him from heav­en, strength­en­ing him. 44 And be­ing in an agony he prayed more earnest­ly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his dis­ci­ples, he found them sleep­ing for sor­row, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye en­ter into temp­ta­tion. 47 And while he yet spake, be­hold a mul­ti­tude, and he that was called Ju­das, one of the twelve, went be­fore them, and drew near unto Je­sus to kiss him. 48 But Je­sus said unto him, Ju­das, be­trayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were about him saw what would fol­low, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote the ser­vant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Je­sus an­swered and said, Suf­fer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Je­sus said unto the chief priests, and cap­tains of the tem­ple, and the el­ders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was dai­ly with you in the tem­ple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the pow­er of dark­ness. 54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Pe­ter fol­lowed afar off. 55 And when they had kin­dled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down to­geth­er, Pe­ter sat down among them. 56 But a cer­tain maid be­held him as he sat by the fire, and earnest­ly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57 And he de­nied him, say­ing, Wom­an, I know him not. 58 And af­ter a lit­tle while an­oth­er saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Pe­ter said, Man, I am not. 59 And about the space of one hour af­ter an­oth­er con­fi­dent­ly af­firmed, say­ing, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60 And Pe­ter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And im­me­di­ate­ly, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Pe­ter. And Pe­ter re­mem­bered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Be­fore the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And Pe­ter went out, and wept bit­ter­ly. 63 And the men that held Je­sus mocked him, and smote him. 64 And when they had blind­fold­ed him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, say­ing, Proph­esy, who is it that smote thee? 65 And many oth­er things blas­phe­mous­ly spake they against him. 66 And as soon as it was day, the el­ders of the peo­ple and the chief priests and the scribes came to­geth­er, and led him into their coun­cil, say­ing, 67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not be­lieve: 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not an­swer me, nor let me go. 69 Here­after shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the pow­er of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need we any fur­ther wit­ness? for we our­selves have heard of his own mouth.
