Matthew 26:1-25

The Magdalene anoints Christ. They eat the Passover lamb and the supper of the Lord. Christ prays in the garden. Judas betrays him. Peter strikes off Malcus’ ear. Christ is accused by false witnesses. Peter denies him.

26 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, You know that after two days will be the Passover. And the Son of man will be delivered to be crucified.

Then the chief priests, scribes, and elders of the people assembled together at the palace of the high priest called Caiaphas and held a council, how they might take Jesus by subtlety and kill him. But, they said, not on the holy day, lest any uproar arise among the people.

When Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came to him a woman who had an alabaster jar of precious anointing oil, and poured it on his head as he sat at the board. When his disciples saw that, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste? This oyntment might well have been sold, and the money given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood this he said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? She has wrought a good work upon me. 11 For you will have poor folk always with you, but me you will not have always. 12 And in that she poured this oyntment on my body, she did it to bury me with. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout all the world, there also will this that she has done be told, for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time, he sought an opportunity to betray him.

17 On the first day of sweet bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where would you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover lamb? 18 And he said, Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is at hand; I will keep my Passover at your place with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and made ready the Passover lamb.

20 When the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will betray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Is it I, Master? 23 He answered and said, He who dips his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me. 24 The Son of man goes as it is written of him. But woe is 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.

25 Then Judas who betrayed him answered and said, Is it I, Master? Jesus said to him, You have said it.
