The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)

14 After (B)two days it was the Passover and (C)the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by [a]trickery and put Him to death. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.”

The Anointing at Bethany(D)

(E)And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly [b]oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred (F)denarii and given to the poor.” And they (G)criticized[c] her sharply.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. (H)For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; (I)but Me you do not have always. She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is (J)preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(K)

10 (L)Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

Jesus Celebrates the Passover with His Disciples(M)

12 (N)Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they [d]killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”

13 And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 15 Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”

16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

17 (O)In the evening He came with the twelve. 18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, (P)one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” [e]And another said,Is it I?”

20 He answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. 21 (Q)The Son of Man indeed goes 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 never been born.”

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(R)

22 (S)And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, [f]eat; this is My (T)body.”

23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [g]new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26 (U)And when they had sung [h]a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(V)

27 (W)Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble [i]because of Me this night, for it is written:

(X)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.’

28 “But (Y)after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

29 (Z)Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to [j]stumble, yet I will not be.

30 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31 But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And they all said likewise.

The Prayer in the Garden(AA)

32 (AB)Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He (AC)took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, (AD)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”

35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, (AE)“Abba, Father, (AF)all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; (AG)nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.

37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? 38 (AH)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AI)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. 40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

41 Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! (AJ)The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 (AK)Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(AL)

43 (AM)And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I (AN)kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”

45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 (AO)Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple (AP)teaching, and you did not seize Me. But (AQ)the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

50 (AR)Then they all forsook Him and fled.

A Young Man Flees Naked

51 Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him, 52 and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(AS)

53 (AT)And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were (AU)assembled all the (AV)chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. 54 But (AW)Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

55 (AX)Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 For many bore (AY)false witness against Him, but their testimonies [k]did not agree.

57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, (AZ)‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” 59 But not even then did their testimony agree.

60 (BA)And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 61 But (BB)He kept silent and answered nothing.

(BC)Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

62 Jesus said, “I am. (BD)And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

63 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64 You have heard the (BE)blasphemy! What do you think?”

And they all condemned Him to be deserving of (BF)death.

65 Then some began to (BG)spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [l]struck Him with the palms of their hands.

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps(BH)

66 (BI)Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with (BJ)Jesus of Nazareth.”

68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.

69 (BK)And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” 70 But he denied it again.

(BL)And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; (BM)for you are a Galilean, [m]and your [n]speech shows it.

71 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”

72 (BN)A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.

And kai while he autos was eimi in en Bethany Bēthania in en the ho house oikia of Simon Simōn the ho leper lepros, as he autos reclined katakeimai at table , there came erchomai a woman gynē with echō an alabaster alabastros flask of very costly polytelēs anointment myron of pure pistikos nard nardos; and breaking syntribō the ho flask alabastros, she poured katacheō it over his autos · ho head kephalē. But de some tis were eimi indignant aganakteō, and began saying to pros themselves heautou, “ For eis what tis purpose was ginomai · ho this houtos waste apōleia of ho ointment myron? For gar this houtos ointment myron could dynamai · ho have been sold pipraskō for epanō more than three hundred triakosioi denarii dēnarion and kai given didōmi to the ho poor ptōchos.” And kai they rebuked embrimaomai her autos harshly . · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ Leave aphiēmi her autos alone.

10 Then kai Judas Ioudas Iscariot Iskariōth, · ho one heis of the ho twelve dōdeka, went aperchomai to pros the ho ruling archiereus priests so hina he might hand Jesus autos over paradidōmi to them autos. 11 And de when they ho heard akouō it, they were pleased chairō and kai promised epangellomai to give didōmi him autos money argyrion. So kai Judas was seeking zēteō how pōs he might hand paradidōmi him autos over paradidōmi at a convenient moment eukairōs.

12 And kai on the ho first prōtos day hēmera of ho Unleavened azymos Bread , when hote people were slaughtering thuō the ho Passover pascha lamb , his autos disciples mathētēs said legō to him autos, · ho Where pou do you want thelō us to go aperchomai and prepare hetoimazō for you to hina eat esthiō the ho Passover pascha?” 13 And kai he sent apostellō two dyo of ho his autos disciples mathētēs and kai said legō to them autos, “ Go hypagō into eis the ho city polis and kai a man anthrōpos carrying bastazō a pitcher keramion of water hydōr will meet apantaō you hymeis; follow akoloutheō him autos. 14 And kai wherever hopou ean he enters eiserchomai, say legō to the ho owner oikodespotēs of the house , ‘ The ho Teacher didaskalos says legō, “ Where pou is eimi · ho my egō guest katalyma room , where hopou I may eat esthiō the ho Passover pascha with meta · ho my egō disciples mathētēs?”’ 15 And kai he autos will show deiknymi you hymeis a large megas upper room anagaion, furnished strōnnyō and ready hetoimos; · kai there ekei prepare hetoimazō for us hēmeis.” 16 · kai The ho disciples mathētēs left exerchomai, · kai came erchomai to eis the ho city polis, and kai found heuriskō things just kathōs as he had told legō them autos. So kai they prepared hetoimazō the ho Passover pascha. 17 And kai when it was ginomai evening opsia, he came erchomai with meta the ho twelve dōdeka. 18 And kai while they autos were reclining anakeimai at table and kai eating esthiō, · ho Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, one heis of ek you hymeis will betray paradidōmi me egō, one ho who is eating esthiō with meta me egō.” 19 They began archō to be grieved lypeō and kai to say legō to him autos one heis after kata the other heis, “ Surely mēti not I egō?” 20 He ho · de said legō to them autos, “It is one heis of the ho twelve dōdeka, one ho who is dipping embaptō his bread into eis the ho bowl tryblion with meta me egō. 21 For hoti the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is going hypagō as kathōs it is written graphō of peri him autos; but de woe ouai to ho that ekeinos man anthrōpos by dia whom hos the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is betrayed paradidōmi better kalos for him autos if ei that ekeinos man anthrōpos had not ou been born gennaō.” · ho 22 And kai while they autos were eating esthiō, he took lambanō bread artos, and after giving thanks eulogeō he broke klaō it and kai gave didōmi it to them autos and kai said legō, “ Take lambanō; this houtos is eimi · ho my egō body sōma.” 23 And kai when he had taken lambanō the cup potērion and given thanks eucharisteō, he passed didōmi it to them autos, and kai they all pas drank pinō from ek it autos. 24 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ This houtos is eimi · ho my egō blood haima of the ho covenant diathēkē, which ho is poured ekchunnomai out in hyper behalf of many polys. 25 I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, I will not again ouketi drink pinō from ek the ho fruit genēma of the ho vine ampelos until heōs · ho that ekeinos day hēmera when hotan I drink pinō it autos new kainos in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos.”

26 Then kai after singing hymneō a hymn , they went exerchomai out to eis the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia. 27 And kai Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho All pas of you will fall skandalizō away , because hoti it is written graphō, ‘ I will strike patassō the ho shepherd poimēn, and kai the ho sheep probaton will be scattered diaskorpizō.’ 28 But alla after meta · ho I egō am raised egeirō up , I will go proagō on ahead of you hymeis into eis · ho Galilee Galilaia.” 29 · ho · de Peter Petros said phēmi to him autos, “ Even kai though ei they all pas fall skandalizō away , I egō will not ou!” 30 And kai Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho I tell legō you sy the truth amēn, today sēmeron this houtos very ho night nyx, before prin ē the rooster alektōr crows phōneō twice dis you sy will deny aparneomai me egō three tris times .” 31 But de Peter ho exclaimed laleō vehemently ekperissōs, “ Even if ean I egō must dei die synapothnēskō with you sy, I will aparneomai never ou mē deny aparneomai you sy!” And de all pas the others repeated legō the same hōsautōs thing . · kai 32 And kai they went erchomai to eis a place chōrion that hos · ho was named onoma Gethsemane Gethsēmani; and kai he said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ Sit kathizō here hōde while heōs I pray proseuchomai.” 33 And kai he took paralambanō along · ho Peter Petros and kai · ho James Iakōbos and kai · ho John Iōannēs with meta him autos, and kai began archō to be distressed ekthambeō and kai troubled adēmoneō. 34 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ My egō soul psychē is eimi exceedingly sorrowful perilypos, · ho even heōs to the point of death thanatos; remain menō here hōde and kai stay grēgoreō alert .” 35 And kai going proerchomai on a little mikros farther , he fell piptō to epi the ho ground and kai prayed proseuchomai that hina, if ei it were eimi possible dynatos, the ho hour hōra might pass parerchomai him autos by . 36 And kai he said legō, “ Abba abba, · ho Father patēr, all pas things are possible dynatos for you sy.
