22Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near.G1161G1859G106G1448G3004G39572So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.G2532G749G2532G1122G2212G4459G337G846G1063G5399G29923But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle of the twelve disciples.G1161G1525G4567G1519G2455G1941G2469G5607G1537G706G14274So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the temple police how he could betray Jesus to them.G2532G565G4814G749G2532G4755G4459G3860G846G8465They were delighted, and agreed to give him money.G2532G5463G2532G4934G1325G846G6946Judas accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray Jesus to them when no crowd was present.G2532G1843G2532G2212G2120G3860G846G846G817G37937Then the day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.G1161G2064G2250G106G1722G3739G3957G1163G23808So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."G2532G649G4074G2532G2491G2036G4198G2090G2254G3957G2443G53159They asked him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"G1161G2036G846G4226G2309G209010He said to them, "Just after you go into the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he entersG1161G2036G846G2400G5216G1525G1519G4172G4876G444G4876G5213G941G2765G5204G190G846G1519G3614G3757G153111and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, "Where is the room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?"'G2532G2046G3617G3614G1320G3004G4671G4226G2076G2646G3699G5315G3957G3326G3450G310112Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished. Get things ready for us there."G2548G1166G5213G3173G508G4766G1563G209013So they went and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.G1161G565G2147G2531G2046G846G2532G2090G395714Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table, along with his apostles.G2532G3753G5610G1096G377G2532G1427G652G4862G84615He said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer,G2532G2036G4314G846G1939G1937G5315G5124G3957G3326G5216G4253G3165G395816because I tell you, I will never eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."G1063G3004G5213G3754G5315G3765G3364G5315G846G1537G2193G3755G4137G1722G932G231617Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves,G2532G1209G4221G2168G2036G2983G5124G2532G1266G143818because I tell you, from now on I will never drink the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."G1063G3004G5213G3754G4095G3364G4095G575G1081G288G2193G3755G932G2316G206419Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks, broke it in pieces, and handed it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me."G2532G2983G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3004G5124G2076G3450G4983G3588G1325G5228G5216G5124G4160G364G1519G169920He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant sealed by my blood, which is being poured out for you.G5615G2532G4221G3326G1172G3004G5124G4221G2537G1242G1722G3450G129G3588G1632G5228G521621Yet look! The hand of the man who is betraying me is with me on the table!G4133G2400G5495G3860G3165G3326G1700G1909G513222The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been determined, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom he is betrayed!"G2532G3303G5207G444G4198G2596G3724G4133G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G386023Then they began to discuss among themselves which one of them was going to do this.G2532G846G756G4802G4314G1438G5101G686G1537G846G1498G3195G4238G512424Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.G1161G1096G2532G5379G1722G846G5101G846G1380G1511G318725But he said to them, "The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.G1161G2036G846G935G1484G2961G846G2532G1850G846G2564G211026But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads should become like the one who serves.G1161G5210G3756G3779G235G3187G1722G5213G1096G5613G3501G2532G2233G5613G124727Because who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? It is the one at the table, isn't it? But I am among you as one who serves.G1063G5101G3187G345G2228G1247G3780G345G1161G1473G1510G1722G3319G5216G5613G124728"You are the ones who have always stood by me in my trials.G1161G5210G2075G1265G3326G1700G1722G3450G398629And I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred a kingdom on me,G2504G1303G5213G932G2531G3450G3962G1303G342730so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel."G2443G2068G2532G4095G1909G3450G5132G1722G3450G932G2532G2523G1909G2362G2919G1427G5443G247431"Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked permission to sift all of you like wheat,G1161G2962G2036G4613G4613G2400G4567G1809G5209G4617G5613G462132but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail. When you have come back, you must strengthen your brothers."31G1161G1473G1189G4012G4675G3363G4675G4102G1587G3363G2532G4218G4771G1994G4741G4675G8033Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready even to go to prison and to die with you!"G1161G2036G846G2962G1510G2092G4198G3326G4675G2532G1519G5438G2532G1519G228834But Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me."G1161G2036G3004G4671G4074G220G5455G3364G5455G4594G4250G2228G5151G533G3361G1492G316535Then Jesus asked his disciples, "When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing at all."G2532G2036G846G3753G649G5209G817G905G2532G4082G2532G5266G3361G5302G5100G1161G2036G376236Then he said to them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.G3767G2036G846G235G3568G2192G905G142G2532G3668G4082G2532G2192G3361G3162G4453G846G2440G2532G5937Because I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: 'He was counted among the criminals.' Indeed, what is written about me must be fulfilled."36G1063G3004G5213G3754G5124G1125G1163G2089G5055G1722G1698G2532G3049G3326G459G2532G1063G4012G1700G2192G505638So they said, "Lord, look! Here are two swords." He answered them, "Enough of that!"G1161G2036G2962G2400G5602G1417G3162G1161G2036G846G2076G242539Then he left and went to the Mount of Olives, as usual. The disciples went with him.G2532G1831G4198G2596G1485G1519G3735G1636G1161G846G3101G2532G190G84640When he arrived, he said to them, "Keep on praying that you may not be tempted."G1161G1096G1909G5117G2036G846G4336G1525G3361G1519G398641Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray,G2532G846G645G575G846G5616G3037G1000G2532G5087G1119G433642"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done."G3004G3962G1487G1014G3911G3911G5124G4221G575G1700G4133G3361G3450G2307G235G4674G109643Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.G1161G3700G32G846G575G3772G1765G84644In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like large drops of blood falling on the ground.G2532G1096G1722G74G4336G1617G1161G846G2402G1096G5616G2361G129G2597G1909G109345When he got up from prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow.G2532G450G575G4335G2064G4314G846G3101G2147G846G2837G575G307746He asked them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not be tempted."G2532G2036G846G5101G2518G450G4336G3363G1525G1519G398647While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the twelve disciples, was leading them, and he came close to Jesus to kiss him.G1161G846G2089G2980G2400G3793G2532G3004G2455G1520G1427G4281G846G2532G1448G2424G5368G84648But Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"G1161G2424G2036G846G2455G3860G5207G444G537049When those who were around Jesus saw what was about to take place, they asked, "Lord, should we attack with our swords?"G1161G4012G846G1492G2071G2036G846G2962G1487G3960G1722G316250Then one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.G2532G1520G5100G1537G846G3960G1401G749G2532G851G846G1188G377551But Jesus said, "No more of this!" So he touched the wounded man's ear and healed him.G1161G2424G611G2036G1439G5127G2193G2532G680G846G5621G2390G84652Then Jesus said to the high priests, the temple police, and the elders, who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit -G1161G2424G2036G4314G749G2532G4755G2411G2532G4245G3854G1909G846G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G358653While I was with you day after day in the temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!"G5607G3450G5607G2250G2596G3326G5216G1722G2411G1614G3756G5495G1909G1691G235G3778G2076G5216G5610G2532G1849G465554Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.G1161G4815G846G71G2532G1521G846G1519G749G3624G1161G4074G190G311355When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats, Peter, too, sat down among them.G1161G846G681G4442G1722G3319G833G2532G4776G4074G2521G3319G1722G84656A servant girl saw him sitting by the fire, stared at him, and said, "This man was with him, too."G1161G5100G3814G1492G846G2521G4314G5457G2532G816G846G2036G3778G2258G2532G4862G84657But he denied it, saying, "I don't know him, woman!"G1161G720G846G3004G1135G1492G846G375658A little later a man looked at him and said, "You are one of them, too." But Peter said, "Mister, I am not!"G2532G3326G1024G2087G1492G846G5346G4771G1488G2532G1537G846G1161G4074G2036G444G1510G375659About an hour later another man emphatically asserted, "This man was certainly with him, because he is a Galilean!"G2532G5616G1339G3391G5610G243G5100G1340G3004G1909G225G3778G2532G2258G3326G846G1063G2532G2076G105760But Peter said, "Mister, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.G1161G4074G2036G444G1492G3756G3739G3004G2532G3916G846G2089G2980G220G545561Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word from the Lord, and how he had said to him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."G2532G2962G4762G1689G4074G2532G4074G5279G3056G2962G5613G2036G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515162So he went outside and cried bitterly.G2532G4074G1831G1854G2799G409063Then the men who were holding Jesus in custody began to make fun of him while they beat him.G2532G435G4912G2424G1702G846G119464They blindfolded him and asked him over and over again, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"G2532G4028G846G5180G846G4383G2532G1905G846G3004G4395G5101G2076G3817G457165And they kept insulting him in many other ways.G2532G4183G2087G987G3004G1519G84666As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled and brought him before their Council.G2532G5613G1096G2250G4244G2992G5037G749G2532G1122G4863G2532G321G846G1519G1438G4892G300467They said, "If you are the Messiah, tell us."But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe me,G1487G1488G4771G5547G2036G2254G1161G2036G846G1437G2036G5213G4100G3364G410068and if I ask you a question, you won't answer me.G1161G1437G2532G2065G611G3364G611G3427G2228G63069But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."22G3568G575G2071G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G231670Then they all asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God?"He answered them, "You said it, I AM."G1161G5346G3956G1488G4771G3767G5207G2316G1161G2036G4314G846G5210G3004G3754G1473G151071"Why do we need any more testimony?" they asked. "We have heard it ourselves from his own mouth!"22G1161G2036G5101G2192G5532G2089G3141G1063G846G191G575G846G4750
