22NOW THE Festival of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover.G1161G1859G106G1448G3004G39572And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to do away with [Jesus], for they feared the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G2212G4459G337G846G1063G5399G29923But [then] Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve [apostles].G1161G1525G4567G1519G2455G1941G2469G5607G1537G706G14274And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him {and} deliver Him up to them.G2532G565G4814G749G2532G4755G4459G3860G846G8465And they were delighted and pledged [themselves] to give him money.G2532G5463G2532G4934G1325G846G6946So he agreed [to this], and sought an opportunity to betray Him to them [without an uprising] in the absence of the throng.G2532G1843G2532G2212G2120G3860G846G846G817G37937Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover [lamb] had to be slain.G1161G2064G2250G106G1722G3739G3957G1163G23808So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, that we may eat it.G2532G649G4074G2532G2491G2036G4198G2090G2254G3957G2443G53159They said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare [it]?G1161G2036G846G4226G2309G209010He said to them, Behold, when you have gone into the city, a man carrying an earthen jug {or} pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,G1161G2036G846G2400G5216G1525G1519G4172G4876G444G4876G5213G941G2765G5204G190G846G1519G3614G3757G153111And say to the master of the house, The Teacher asks you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover [meal] with My disciples?G2532G2046G3617G3614G1320G3004G4671G4226G2076G2646G3699G5315G3957G3326G3450G310112And he will show you a large room upstairs, furnished [with carpets and with couches properly spread]; there make [your] preparations.G2548G1166G5213G3173G508G4766G1563G209013And they went and found it [just] as He had said to them; and they made ready the Passover [supper].G1161G565G2147G2531G2046G846G2532G2090G395714And when the hour came, [Jesus] reclined at table, and the apostles with Him.G2532G3753G5610G1096G377G2532G1427G652G4862G84615And He said to them, I have earnestly {and} intensely desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;G2532G2036G4314G846G1939G1937G5315G5124G3957G3326G5216G4253G3165G395816For I say to you, I shall eat it no more until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.G1063G3004G5213G3754G5315G3765G3364G5315G846G1537G2193G3755G4137G1722G932G231617And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said, Take this and divide {and} distribute it among yourselves;G2532G1209G4221G2168G2036G2983G5124G2532G1266G143818For I say to you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine at all until the kingdom of God comes.G1063G3004G5213G3754G4095G3364G4095G575G1081G288G2193G3755G932G2316G206419Then He took a loaf [of bread], and when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and gave it to them saying, This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.G2532G2983G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3004G5124G2076G3450G4983G3588G1325G5228G5216G5124G4160G364G1519G169920And in like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament {or} covenant [ratified] in My blood, which is shed (poured out) for you.G5615G2532G4221G3326G1172G3004G5124G4221G2537G1242G1722G3450G129G3588G1632G5228G521621But, behold, the hand of him who is now engaged in betraying Me is with Me on the table.G4133G2400G5495G3860G3165G3326G1700G1909G513222For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined {and} appointed, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed {and} delivered up!G2532G3303G5207G444G4198G2596G3724G4133G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G386023And they began to inquire among themselves which of them it was who was about to do this.G2532G846G756G4802G4314G1438G5101G686G1537G846G1498G3195G4238G512424Now an eager contention arose among them [as to] which of them was considered {and} reputed to be the greatest.G1161G1096G2532G5379G1722G846G5101G846G1380G1511G318725But Jesus said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are deified by them {and} exercise lordship [ruling as emperor-gods] over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors {and} well-doers.G1161G2036G846G935G1484G2961G846G2532G1850G846G2564G211026But this is not to be so with you; on the contrary, let him who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and him who is the chief {and} leader like one who serves.G1161G5210G3756G3779G235G3187G1722G5213G1096G5613G3501G2532G2233G5613G124727For who is the greater, the one who reclines at table (the master), or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am in your midst as One Who serves.G1063G5101G3187G345G2228G1247G3780G345G1161G1473G1510G1722G3319G5216G5613G124728And you are those who have remained [throughout] {and} persevered with Me in My trials;G1161G5210G2075G1265G3326G1700G1722G3450G398629And as My Father has appointed a kingdom {and} conferred it on Me, so do I confer on you [the privilege and decree],G2504G1303G5213G932G2531G3450G3962G1303G342730That you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.G2443G2068G2532G4095G1909G3450G5132G1722G3450G932G2532G2523G1909G2362G2919G1427G5443G247431Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain,G1161G2962G2036G4613G4613G2400G4567G1809G5209G4617G5613G462132But I have prayed especially for you [Peter], that your [own] faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen {and} establish your brethren.G1161G1473G1189G4012G4675G3363G4675G4102G1587G3363G2532G4218G4771G1994G4741G4675G8033And [Simon Peter] said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death.G1161G2036G846G2962G1510G2092G4198G3326G4675G2532G1519G5438G2532G1519G228834But Jesus said, I tell you, Peter, before a [single] cock shall crow this day, you will three times [utterly] deny that you know Me.G1161G2036G3004G4671G4074G220G5455G3364G5455G4594G4250G2228G5151G533G3361G1492G316535And He said to them, When I sent you out with no purse or [provision] bag or sandals, did you lack anything? They answered, Nothing!G2532G2036G846G3753G649G5209G817G905G2532G4082G2532G5266G3361G5302G5100G1161G2036G376236Then He said to them, But now let him who has a purse take it, and also [his provision] bag; and let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy a sword.G3767G2036G846G235G3568G2192G905G142G2532G3668G4082G2532G2192G3361G3162G4453G846G2440G2532G5937For I tell you that this Scripture must yet be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted {and} classed among the wicked (the outlaws, the criminals); for what is written about Me has its fulfillment [has reached its end and is finally settled].G1063G3004G5213G3754G5124G1125G1163G2089G5055G1722G1698G2532G3049G3326G459G2532G1063G4012G1700G2192G505638And they said, Look, Lord! Here are two swords. And He said to them, It is enough.G1161G2036G2962G2400G5602G1417G3162G1161G2036G846G2076G242539And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.G2532G1831G4198G2596G1485G1519G3735G1636G1161G846G3101G2532G190G84640And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation.G1161G1096G1909G5117G2036G846G4336G1525G3361G1519G398641And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed,G2532G846G645G575G846G5616G3037G1000G2532G5087G1119G433642Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.G3004G3962G1487G1014G3911G3911G5124G4221G575G1700G4133G3361G3450G2307G235G4674G109643And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit.G1161G3700G32G846G575G3772G1765G84644And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly {and} intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.G2532G1096G1722G74G4336G1617G1161G846G2402G1096G5616G2361G129G2597G1909G109345And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,G2532G450G575G4335G2064G4314G846G3101G2147G846G2837G575G307746And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation.G2532G2036G846G5101G2518G450G4336G3363G1525G1519G398647And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him,G1161G846G2089G2980G2400G3793G2532G3004G2455G1520G1427G4281G846G2532G1448G2424G5368G84648But Jesus said to him, Judas! Would you betray {and} deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?G1161G2424G2036G846G2455G3860G5207G444G537049And when those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?G1161G4012G846G1492G2071G2036G846G2962G1487G3960G1722G316250And one of them struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear, the right one.G2532G1520G5100G1537G846G3960G1401G749G2532G851G846G1188G377551But Jesus said, Permit them to go so far [as to seize Me]. And He touched the little (insignificant) ear and healed him.G1161G2424G611G2036G1439G5127G2193G2532G680G846G5621G2390G84652Then Jesus said to those who had come out against Him--the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders [of the Sanhedrin]--Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber?G1161G2424G2036G4314G749G2532G4755G2411G2532G4245G3854G1909G846G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G358653When I was with you day after day in the temple [enclosure], you did not stretch forth [your] hands against Me. But this is your hour--and the power [which] darkness [gives you has its way].G5607G3450G5607G2250G2596G3326G5216G1722G2411G1614G3756G5495G1909G1691G235G3778G2076G5216G5610G2532G1849G465554Then they seized Him and led Him away, bringing Him into the house of the high priest. Peter was following at a distance.G1161G4815G846G71G2532G1521G846G1519G749G3624G1161G4074G190G311355And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were seated together, Peter sat among them.G1161G846G681G4442G1722G3319G833G2532G4776G4074G2521G3319G1722G84656Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and gazing [intently] at him, said, This man too was with Him.G1161G5100G3814G1492G846G2521G4314G5457G2532G816G846G2036G3778G2258G2532G4862G84657But he denied it and said, Woman, I do not know Him!G1161G720G846G3004G1135G1492G846G375658And a little later someone else saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not!G2532G3326G1024G2087G1492G846G5346G4771G1488G2532G1537G846G1161G4074G2036G444G1510G375659And when about an hour more had elapsed, still another emphatically insisted, It is the truth that this man also was with Him, for he too is a Galilean!G2532G5616G1339G3391G5610G243G5100G1340G3004G1909G225G3778G2532G2258G3326G846G1063G2532G2076G105760But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And instantly, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.G1161G4074G2036G444G1492G3756G3739G3004G2532G3916G846G2089G2980G220G545561And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter recalled the Lord's words, how He had told him, Before the cock crows today, you will deny Me thrice.G2532G2962G4762G1689G4074G2532G4074G5279G3056G2962G5613G2036G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515162And he went out and wept bitterly [that is, with painfully moving grief].G2532G4074G1831G1854G2799G409063Now the men who had Jesus in custody treated Him with contempt {and} scoffed at {and} ridiculed Him and beat Him;G2532G435G4912G2424G1702G846G119464They blindfolded Him also and asked Him, Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?G2532G4028G846G5180G846G4383G2532G1905G846G3004G4395G5101G2076G3817G457165And they said many other evil {and} slanderous {and} insulting words against Him, reviling Him.G2532G4183G2087G987G3004G1519G84666As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led Him into their council (the Sanhedrin), and they said,G2532G5613G1096G2250G4244G2992G5037G749G2532G1122G4863G2532G321G846G1519G1438G4892G300467If You are the Christ (the Messiah), tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe (trust in, cleave to, and rely on what I say),G1487G1488G4771G5547G2036G2254G1161G2036G846G1437G2036G5213G4100G3364G410068And if I question you, you will not answer.G1161G1437G2532G2065G611G3364G611G3427G2228G63069But hereafter (from this time on), the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.G3568G575G2071G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G231670And they all said, You are the Son of God, then? And He said to them, It is just as you say; I AM.G1161G5346G3956G1488G4771G3767G5207G2316G1161G2036G4314G846G5210G3004G3754G1473G151071And they said, What further evidence do we need? For we have heard [it] ourselves from His own mouth!G1161G2036G5101G2192G5532G2089G3141G1063G846G191G575G846G4750
