|
|
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.
