1Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him: 2for they said, Not during the feast, lest perhaps there shall be a tumult of the people. 3And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard very costly; and she broke the flask, and poured it over his head. 4But there were some who had indignation among themselves, saying, To what purpose has this waste of the ointment been made? 5For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6But Yeshua said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? she has done a good work on me. 7For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do them good: but me you do not always have. 8She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for the burying. 9And truly I say to you, Wherever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 10And Judas Iscariot, he who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them. 11And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him to them. 12And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say to him, Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the passover? 13And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man bearing a pitcher of water shall meet you: follow him; 14and wherever he enters in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us. 16And the disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover. 17And when it was evening he comes with the twelve. 18And as they sat and were eating, Yeshua said, Truly I say to you, One of you shall betray me, even he who eats with me. 19They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I? 20And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish. 21For the Son of man goes, even as it is written of him: but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! it would be good for that man if he had not been born. 22And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take: this is my body. 23And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it. 24And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25Truly I say to you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. 27And Yeshua says to them, All of you shall be offended: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad. 28But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. 29But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not. 30And Yeshua says to him, Truly I say to you, that you today, even this night, before the cock crows twice, shall deny me three times. 31But he spoke exceedingly vehemently, If I must die with you, I will not deny you. And in like manner they all also said. 32And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray. 33And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and greatly troubled. 34And he says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch. 35And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me: yet not what I will, but what you will. 37And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? could you not watch one hour? 38Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 40And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him. 41And he comes the third time, and says 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. 42Arise, let us be going: behold, he who betrays me is at hand. 43And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas comes, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44Now he who betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomever I kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 45And when he had come, immediately he came to him, and says, Rabbi; and kissed him. 46And they laid hands on him, and took him. 47But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48And Yeshua answered and said to them, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? 49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take me: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled. 50And they all left him, and fled. 51And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked body: and they lay hold of him; 52but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked. 53And they led Yeshua away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54And Peter had followed him far off, even inside, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. 55Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Yeshua to put him to death; and did not find it. 56For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree together. 57And certain men stood up, and bore false witness against him, saying, 58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. 59And not even so did their witness agree together. 60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Yeshua, saying, Do you answer nothing? what is it which these witness against you? 61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed? 62And Yeshua said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. 63And the high priest tore his clothes, and says, What further need have we of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy: what do you think? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death. 65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands. 66And as Peter was beneath in the court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest; 67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and says, You also were with the Nazarene, even Yeshua. 68But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what you are saying: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed. 69And the maid saw him, and began again to say to those who stood by, This is one of them. 70But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilæan. 71But he began to curse, and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak. 72And immediately the second time the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word, how Yeshua said to him, Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought on it, he wept.
