1 |
And it came to pass,
when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
|
|
|
2 |
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. |
|
3 |
Then assembled
together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people,
unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, |
|
4 |
And consulted that
they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. |
|
5 |
But they said, Not
on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. |
|
6 |
Now when Jesus was
in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, |
|
7 |
There came unto him
a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on
his head, as he sat at meat. |
|
8 |
But when his
disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this
waste? |
|
9 |
For this ointment
might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. |
|
10 |
When Jesus
understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. |
|
11 |
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye
have not always. |
|
12 |
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my
body, she did it for my burial. |
|
13 |
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman
hath done, be told for a memorial of her. |
|
14 |
Then one of the
twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, |
|
15 |
And said unto them,
What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted
with him for thirty pieces of silver. |
|
16 |
And from that time
he sought opportunity to betray him. |
|
17 |
Now the first day of
the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? |
|
18 |
And he said,
Go into the city to such a man, and say unto
him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy
house with my disciples.
|
|
19 |
And the disciples
did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. |
|
20 |
Now when the even
was come, he sat down with the twelve. |
|
21 |
And as they did eat,
he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you
shall betray me. |
|
22 |
And they were
exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is
it I? |
|
23 |
And he answered and
said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the
dish, the same shall betray me. |
|
24 |
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him:
but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good
for that man if he had not been born. |
|
25 |
Then Judas, which
betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him,
Thou hast said. |
|
26 |
And as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. |
|
27 |
And he took the cup,
and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it; |
|
28 |
For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins. |
|
29 |
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth
of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my
Father's kingdom. |
|
30 |
And when they had
sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. |
|
31 |
Then saith Jesus
unto them, All ye shall be offended because of
me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep
of the flock shall be scattered abroad. |
|
32 |
But after I am risen again, I will go before you
into Galilee. |
|
33 |
Peter answered and
said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I
never be offended. |
|
34 |
Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. |
|
35 |
Peter said unto him,
Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said
all the disciples. |
|
36 |
Then cometh Jesus
with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples,
Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. |
|
37 |
And he took with him
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
|
|
38 |
Then saith he unto
them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto
death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. |
|
39 |
And he went a little
further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,
O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. |
|
40 |
And he cometh unto
the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter,
What, could ye not watch with me one hour? |
|
41 |
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. |
|
42 |
He went away again
the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will
be done. |
|
43 |
And he came and
found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. |
|
44 |
And he left them,
and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. |
|
45 |
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest:
behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners. |
|
46 |
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand
that doth betray me. |
|
47 |
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the
twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from
the chief priests and elders of the people. |
|
48 |
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. |
|
49 |
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail,
master; and kissed him. |
|
50 |
And Jesus said unto him,
Friend, wherefore art thou come?
Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. |
|
51 |
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest's, and smote off his ear. |
|
52 |
Then said Jesus unto him,
Put up again thy sword into his place: for all
they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. |
|
53 |
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my
Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? |
|
54 |
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be? |
|
55 |
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes,
Are ye come out as against a thief with
swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the
temple, and ye laid no hold on me. |
|
56 |
But all this was done, that the scriptures of
the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him,
and fled. |
|
57 |
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away
to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled. |
|
58 |
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high
priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
|
|
59 |
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; |
|
60 |
But found none: yea,
though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two
false witnesses, |
|
61 |
And said, This
fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in
three days. |
|
62 |
And the high priest
arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee? |
|
63 |
But Jesus held his
peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the
living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. |
|
64 |
Jesus saith unto
him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. |
|
65 |
Then the high priest
rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have
we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. |
|
66 |
What think ye? They
answered and said, He is guilty of death. |
|
67 |
Then did they spit
in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their
hands, |
|
68 |
Saying, Prophesy
unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? |
|
69 |
Now Peter sat
without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast
with Jesus of Galilee. |
|
70 |
But he denied before
them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. |
|
71 |
And when he was gone
out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were
there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. |
|
72 |
And again he denied
with an oath, I do not know the man. |
|
73 |
And after a while
came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art
one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. |
|
74 |
Then began he to
curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock
crew.
|
|
75 |
And Peter remembered
the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept
bitterly. |
