1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1After two days it was the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a treacherous way to arrest and kill Him."
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Not during the festival," they said, "or there may be rioting among the people."
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3While He was in Bethany at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4But some were expressing indignation to one another: "Why has this fragrant oil been wasted?
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor." And they began to scold her.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Then Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for Me.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7You always have the poor with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8She has done what she could; she has anointed My body in advance for burial.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to hand Him over to them.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, His disciples asked Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare the Passover so You may eat it?"
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13So He sent two of His disciples and told them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room for Me to eat the Passover with My disciples?"'
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there."
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17When evening came, He arrived with the Twelve.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "I assure you: One of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me!"
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20He said to them, "It is one of the Twelve--the one who is dipping bread with Me in the bowl.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22As they were eating, He took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them, and so they all drank from it.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24He said to them, "This is My blood that establishes the covenant; it is shed for many.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25I assure you: I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in the kingdom of God."
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will run away, because it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not!"
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30"I assure you," Jesus said to him, "today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times!"
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31But he kept insisting, "If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!" And they all said the same thing.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34Then He said to them, "My soul is swallowed up in sorrow--to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake."
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36And He said, "Abba, Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37Then He came and found them sleeping. "Simon, are you sleeping?" He asked Peter. "Couldn't you stay awake one hour?
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38Stay awake and pray so that you won't enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39Once again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41Then He came a third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42Get up; let's go! See--My betrayer is near."
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44His betrayer had given them a signal. "The One I kiss," he said, "He's the One; arrest Him and take Him away under guard."
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, "Rabbi!"--and kissed Him.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46Then they took hold of Him and arrested Him.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47And one of those who stood by drew his sword, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his ear.
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48But Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal, to capture Me?
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn't arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50Then they all deserted Him and ran away.
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51Now a certain young man, having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him,
52[an error occurred while processing this directive]52but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.
53[an error occurred while processing this directive]53They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes convened.
54[an error occurred while processing this directive]54Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police, warming himself by the fire.
55[an error occurred while processing this directive]55The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none.
56[an error occurred while processing this directive]56For many were giving false testimony against Him, but the testimonies did not agree.
57[an error occurred while processing this directive]57Some stood up and were giving false testimony against Him, stating, "
58[an error occurred while processing this directive]58We heard Him say, 'I will demolish this sanctuary made by human hands, and in three days I will build another not made by hands.'"
59[an error occurred while processing this directive]59Yet their testimony did not agree even on this.
60[an error occurred while processing this directive]60Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, "Don't You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?"
61[an error occurred while processing this directive]61But He kept silent and did not answer anything. Again the high priest questioned Him, "Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62[an error occurred while processing this directive]62"I am," said Jesus, "and all of you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
63[an error occurred while processing this directive]63Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?
64[an error occurred while processing this directive]64You have heard the blasphemy! What is your decision?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
65[an error occurred while processing this directive]65Then some began to spit on Him, to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, saying, "Prophesy!" The temple police also took Him and slapped Him.
66[an error occurred while processing this directive]66While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest's servants came.
67[an error occurred while processing this directive]67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus."
68[an error occurred while processing this directive]68But he denied it: "I don't know or understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed.
69[an error occurred while processing this directive]69When the servant saw him again she began to tell those standing nearby, "This man is one of them!"
70[an error occurred while processing this directive]70But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, "You certainly are one of them, since you're also a Galilean!"
71[an error occurred while processing this directive]71Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"
72[an error occurred while processing this directive]72Immediately a rooster crowed a second time, and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." When he thought about it, he began to weep.
