| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas; |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor." |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her." |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21As they were eating, He said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me." |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?" |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And He answered, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself." |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.' |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee." |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away." |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Then He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me." |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46"Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!" |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him." |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50And Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53"Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54"How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?" |
| 55[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 55At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me. |
| 56[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 56"But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled. |
| 57[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 57Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. |
| 58[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 58But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome. |
| 59[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 59Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. |
| 60[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 60They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward, |
| 61[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 61and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'" |
| 62[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 62The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?" |
| 63[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 63But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God." |
| 64[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 64Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." |
| 65[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 65Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; |
| 66[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 66what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!" |
| 67[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 67Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him, |
| 68[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 68and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?" |
| 69[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean." |
| 70[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 70But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about." |
| 71[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 71When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth." |
| 72[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 72And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man." |
| 73[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 73A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away." |
| 74[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 74Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed. |
| 75[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 75And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly. |
