| 1. | Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, drew nigh, |
| 2. | and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. |
| 3. | And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve. |
| 4. | And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them. |
| 5. | And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money. |
| 6. | And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd. |
| 7. | And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed. |
| 8. | And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it. |
| 9. | But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it? |
| 10. | And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in; |
| 11. | and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples? |
| 12. | And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. |
| 13. | And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover. |
| 14. | And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the twelve apostles with him. |
| 15. | And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. |
| 16. | For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. |
| 17. | And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves. |
| 18. | For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come. |
| 19. | And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. |
| 20. | In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. |
| 21. | Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table; |
| 22. | and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up. |
| 23. | And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this. |
| 24. | And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be the greatest. |
| 25. | And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors. |
| 26. | But ye shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves. |
| 27. | For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves. |
| 28. | But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations. |
| 29. | And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom, |
| 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 has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat; |
| 32. | but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren. |
| 33. | And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death. |
| 34. | And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. |
| 35. | And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing. |
| 36. | He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take it, in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword; |
| 37. | for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end. |
| 38. | And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. |
| 39. | And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. |
| 40. | And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. |
| 41. | And he was withdrawn from them about a stone`s throw, and having knelt down he prayed, |
| 42. | saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: -- but then, not my will, but thine be done. |
| 43. | And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him. |
| 44. | And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth. |
| 45. | And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. |
| 46. | And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation. |
| 47. | As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. |
| 48. | And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? |
| 49. | And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? |
| 50. | And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear. |
| 51. | And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him. |
| 52. | And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks? |
| 53. | When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness. |
| 54. | And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off. |
| 55. | And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them. |
| 56. | And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this man was with him. |
| 57. | But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him. |
| 58. | And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. |
| 59. | And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this man also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean. |
| 60. | And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew. |
| 61. | And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. |
| 62. | And Peter, going forth without, wept bitterly. |
| 63. | And the men who held him mocked him, beating him; |
| 64. | and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee? |
| 65. | And they said many other injurious things to him. |
| 66. | And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying, |
| 67. | If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe; |
| 68. | and if I should ask you, ye would not answer me at all, nor let me go; |
| 69. | but henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. |
| 70. | And they all said, Thou then art the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. |
| 71. | And they said, What need have we any more of witness, for we have heard ourselves out of his mouth? |
