Mt 7.28; 11.1; 13.53; 19.1. When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 2#Mk 14.1-2; Lk 22.1-2; Jn 11.47-53. “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4and took counsel together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult among the people.”

Mk 14.3-9; Jn 12.1-8; Lk 7.36-38. Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. 8But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor.” 10But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11#Deut 15.11. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12#Jn 19.40. In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”

Mk 14.10-11; Lk 22.3-6. Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15#Ex 21.32; Zech 11.12. and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17 #
Mk 14.12-16; Lk 22.7-13. Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the passover?” 18#Mt 26.45; Jn 7.6; 12.23; 13.1; 17.1. He said, “Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.’ ” 19#Mt 21.6; Deut 16.5-8. And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.
20 #
Mk 14.17-21; Lk 22.14,21-23; Jn 13.21-30. When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples;#26.20 Other authorities omit disciples 21and as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me. 24#Ps 41.9; Lk 24.25; 1 Cor 15.3; Acts 17.2-3; Mt 18.7. The Son of man goes as it is written of 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.” 25Judas, who betrayed him, said, “Is it I, Master?”#26.25 Or Rabbi He said to him, “You have said so.”
26 #
Mk 14.22-25; Lk 22.17-19; 1 Cor 10.16; 11.23-26; Mt 14.19; 15.36. Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you; 28#Heb 9.20; Mt 20.28; Mk 1.4; Ex 24.6-8. for this is my blood of the#26.28 Other ancient authorities insert new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
30 #
Mk 14.26-31; Lk 22.33-34,39; Jn 14.31; 18.1; 13.36-38. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31#Zech 13.7; Jn 16.32. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32#Mt 28.7,10,16. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 33Peter declared to him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” 35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And so said all the disciples.
36 #
Mk 14.32-42; Lk 22.40-46. Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go yonder and pray.” 37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38#Jn 12.27; Heb 5.7-8. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch#26.38 Or keep awake with me.” 39#Jn 18.11; Mt 20.22. And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” 40And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch#26.40 Or keep awake with me one hour? 41#Mt 6.13; Lk 11.4. Watch#26.41 Or keep awake and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42#Jn 4.34; 5.30; 6.38. Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.” 43And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. 45#Mt 26.18; Jn 12.23; 13.1; 17.1. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
47 #
Mk 14.43-50; Lk 22.47-53; Jn 18.2-11. While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him.” 49And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Hail, Master!”#26.49 Or Rabbi And he kissed him. 50#Mt 20.13; 22.12. Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?”#26.50 Or do that for which you have come Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. 51And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52#Gen 9.6; Rev 13.10. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 55#Lk 19.47; Jn 18.19-21. At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 56But all this has taken place, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
57 #
Mk 14.53-72; Lk 22.54-71; Jn 18.12-27. Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. 59Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward 61#Mt 24.2; 27.40; Acts 6.14; Jn 2.19. and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’ ” 62And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 63#Mt 27.11; Jn 18.33. But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64#Mt 16.28; Dan 7.13; Ps 110.1. Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65#Num 14.6; Acts 14.14; Lev 24.16. Then the high priest tore his robes, and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” 67Then they spat in his face, and struck him; and some slapped him, 68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” 71And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you.” 74Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the cock crowed. 75#Mt 26.34. And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26
1¶ And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
2Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3Then the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders of the people assembled together in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4and took counsel that they might take Jesus by guile and kill him.
5But 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,
7a woman came unto him having an alabaster box of very precious ointment and poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8But when his disciples saw it, they became indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
10But Jesus, understanding this, said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she has wrought a good work upon me.
11For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
12For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare for my burial.
13Verily I say unto you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.
14¶ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the princes of the priests
15and 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.
16And 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?
18And he said, Go into the city to a certain man and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the passover.
20Now when the evening was come, he sat down at the table with the twelve.
21And as they ate, he said, Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray me.
22And they were exceeding sorrowful and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24The Son of man goes 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.
25Then Judas, who was betraying him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26¶ And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and, having blessed it, broke it and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27And taking the cup and having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29But I say unto you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31¶ Then Jesus said 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.
32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended in thee, yet I will never be offended.
34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night before the cock crows, thou shalt deny me three times.
35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36¶ Then Jesus came with them unto a place called Gethsemane and said unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38Then he said unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here and watch with me.
39And he went a little further and fell on his face, praying and saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40And he came unto the disciples and found them asleep and said unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42He 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.
43And he came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45Then he came unto his disciples and said 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.
46Rise, let us be going; behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47¶ And while he yet spoke, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the princes of the priests and elders of the people.
48Now he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.
49And forthwith he came to Jesus and said, Receive joy, master; and kissed him.
50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, why art thou come? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51And, behold, one of those who was with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck a slave of the high priest and smote off his ear.
52Then Jesus said unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place, for all those that take the sword shall perish by the sword.
53Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
55In that same hour Jesus said to the multitude, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56But all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
57¶ And those that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58But Peter followed him afar off unto the patio of the high priest and went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59Now the princes of the priests and the elders and all the council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60but found none; though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses
61who said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.
62And the high priest arose and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing to what these witness against thee?
63But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
64Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said it; 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.
65Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67Then they spit in his face and buffeted him, and others smote him with the staves,
68saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ; who is he that smote thee?
69¶ Now Peter sat outside in the patio; and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him and said unto those that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73And after a while those that stood by came unto him and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them, for thy speech makes thee manifest.
74Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately a cock crew.
75And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said unto him, Before the cock crows, thou shalt deny me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.
