Matthew 26:1-39 ▼

1 And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:

2 Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.

3 Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas

4 and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.

5 But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.

6 When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper

7 ther came vnto him a woman which had an alablaster boxe of precious oyntment and powred it on his heed as he sate at the bourde.

8 When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?

9 This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre.

10 When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the: why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.

11 For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.

12 And in yt she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me wt all.

13 Verely I saye vnto you wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached throughoute all the worlde there shall also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoriall of her.

14 Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes

15 and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.

16 And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye him.

17 The fyrst daye of swete breed ye disciples cam to Iesus sayinge vnto him: where wylt thou that we prepare for ye to eate ye paschall lambe?

18 And he sayd: Go into the cite vnto soche a man and saye to him: the master sayeth my tyme is at hande I will kepe myne ester at thy housse with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Iesus had apoynted them and made redy the esterlambe.

20 When the even was come he sate doune wt the .xii.

21 And as they dyd eate he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.

22 And they were excedinge sorowfull and beganne every one of the to saye vnto him: is it I master?

23 He answered and sayde: he yt deppeth his honde wt me in ye disshe the same shall betraye me.

24 The sonne of ma goeth as it is written of him: but wo be to yt ma by whom ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed. It had bene good for that man yf he had never bene borne.

25 Then Iudas wich betrayed him answered and sayde: is it I master? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayde.

26 As they dyd eate Iesus toke breed and gave thankes brake it and gave it to the disciples and sayde: Take eate this is my body.

27 And he toke the cup and thanked and gave it them sayinge: drinke of it every one.

28 For this is my bloude of the new testament that shalbe shedde for many for the remission of synnes.

29 I saye vnto you: I will not drinke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tree vntyll that daye when I shall drinke it new with you in my fathers kyngdome.

30 And when they had sayde grace they went out into mounte olyvete.

31 Then sayd Iesus vnto them: all ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is wrytten. I will smyte ye shepe herde and the shepe of ye flocke shalbe scattered abroode.

32 But after I am rysen ageyne I will goo before you into Galile.

33 Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by ye yet wolde I never be offended.

34 Iesus sayde vnto him. Verely I saye vnto ye that this same night before the cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.

35 Peter sayde vnto him: Yf I shulde dye with ye yet wolde I not denye ye Lyke wyse also sayde all ye disciples.

36 Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane and sayde vnto the disciples syt ye here whyll I go and praye yonder.

37 And he toke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to wexe sorowfull and to be in an agonye.

38 Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche wt me.

39 And he went a lytell aparte and fell flat on his face and prayed sayinge: O my father yf it be possible let this cuppe passe from me: neverthelesse not as I wyll but as thou wylt.
