22Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,G1161G1859G106G1448G3004G39572and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G2212G4459G337G846G1063G5399G29923Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.G1161G1525G4567G1519G2455G1941G2469G5607G1537G706G14274And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus.G2532G565G4814G749G2532G4755G4459G3860G846G8465They were delighted and agreed to give him money.G2532G5463G2532G4934G1325G846G6946He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.G2532G1843G2532G2212G2120G3860G846G846G817G37937Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.G1161G2064G2250G106G1722G3739G3957G1163G23808Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."G2532G649G4074G2532G2491G2036G4198G2090G2254G3957G2443G53159"Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.G1161G2036G846G4226G2309G209010He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters,G1161G2036G846G2400G5216G1525G1519G4172G4876G444G4876G5213G941G2765G5204G190G846G1519G3614G3757G153111and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'G2532G2046G3617G3614G1320G3004G4671G4226G2076G2646G3699G5315G3957G3326G3450G310112He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there."G2548G1166G5213G3173G508G4766G1563G209013They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.G1161G565G2147G2531G2046G846G2532G2090G395714When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.G2532G3753G5610G1096G377G2532G1427G652G4862G84615And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.G2532G2036G4314G846G1939G1937G5315G5124G3957G3326G5216G4253G3165G395816For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."G1063G3004G5213G3754G5315G3765G3364G5315G846G1537G2193G3755G4137G1722G932G231617After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you.G2532G1209G4221G2168G2036G2983G5124G2532G1266G143818For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."G1063G3004G5213G3754G4095G3364G4095G575G1081G288G2193G3755G932G2316G206419And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."G2532G2983G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3004G5124G2076G3450G4983G3588G1325G5228G5216G5124G4160G364G1519G169920In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.G5615G2532G4221G3326G1172G3004G5124G4221G2537G1242G1722G3450G129G3588G1632G5228G521621But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.G4133G2400G5495G3860G3165G3326G1700G1909G513222The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!"G2532G3303G5207G444G4198G2596G3724G4133G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G386023They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.G2532G846G756G4802G4314G1438G5101G686G1537G846G1498G3195G4238G512424Adispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.G1161G1096G2532G5379G1722G846G5101G846G1380G1511G318725Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.G1161G2036G846G935G1484G2961G846G2532G1850G846G2564G211026But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.G1161G5210G3756G3779G235G3187G1722G5213G1096G5613G3501G2532G2233G5613G124727For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.G1063G5101G3187G345G2228G1247G3780G345G1161G1473G1510G1722G3319G5216G5613G124728You are those who have stood by me in my trials.G1161G5210G2075G1265G3326G1700G1722G3450G398629And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,G2504G1303G5213G932G2531G3450G3962G1303G342730so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.G2443G2068G2532G4095G1909G3450G5132G1722G3450G932G2532G2523G1909G2362G2919G1427G5443G247431"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.G1161G2962G2036G4613G4613G2400G4567G1809G5209G4617G5613G462132But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."G1161G1473G1189G4012G4675G3363G4675G4102G1587G3363G2532G4218G4771G1994G4741G4675G8033But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."G1161G2036G846G2962G1510G2092G4198G3326G4675G2532G1519G5438G2532G1519G228834Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."G1161G2036G3004G4671G4074G220G5455G3364G5455G4594G4250G2228G5151G533G3361G1492G316535Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered.G2532G2036G846G3753G649G5209G817G905G2532G4082G2532G5266G3361G5302G5100G1161G2036G376236He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.G3767G2036G846G235G3568G2192G905G142G2532G3668G4082G2532G2192G3361G3162G4453G846G2440G2532G5937It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."G1063G3004G5213G3754G5124G1125G1163G2089G5055G1722G1698G2532G3049G3326G459G2532G1063G4012G1700G2192G505638The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "That is enough," he replied.G1161G2036G2962G2400G5602G1417G3162G1161G2036G846G2076G242539Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.G2532G1831G4198G2596G1485G1519G3735G1636G1161G846G3101G2532G190G84640On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."G1161G1096G1909G5117G2036G846G4336G1525G3361G1519G398641He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed,G2532G846G645G575G846G5616G3037G1000G2532G5087G1119G433642"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."G3004G3962G1487G1014G3911G3911G5124G4221G575G1700G4133G3361G3450G2307G235G4674G109643An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.G1161G3700G32G846G575G3772G1765G84644And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.G2532G1096G1722G74G4336G1617G1161G846G2402G1096G5616G2361G129G2597G1909G109345When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.G2532G450G575G4335G2064G4314G846G3101G2147G846G2837G575G307746"Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."G2532G2036G846G5101G2518G450G4336G3363G1525G1519G398647While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him,G1161G846G2089G2980G2400G3793G2532G3004G2455G1520G1427G4281G846G2532G1448G2424G5368G84648but Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"G1161G2424G2036G846G2455G3860G5207G444G537049When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?"G1161G4012G846G1492G2071G2036G846G2962G1487G3960G1722G316250And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.G2532G1520G5100G1537G846G3960G1401G749G2532G851G846G1188G377551But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.G1161G2424G611G2036G1439G5127G2193G2532G680G846G5621G2390G84652Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?G1161G2424G2036G4314G749G2532G4755G2411G2532G4245G3854G1909G846G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G358653Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns."G5607G3450G5607G2250G2596G3326G5216G1722G2411G1614G3756G5495G1909G1691G235G3778G2076G5216G5610G2532G1849G465554Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.G1161G4815G846G71G2532G1521G846G1519G749G3624G1161G4074G190G311355And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.G1161G846G681G4442G1722G3319G833G2532G4776G4074G2521G3319G1722G84656Aservant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him."G1161G5100G3814G1492G846G2521G4314G5457G2532G816G846G2036G3778G2258G2532G4862G84657But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said.G1161G720G846G3004G1135G1492G846G375658A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." "Man, I am not!" Peter replied.G2532G3326G1024G2087G1492G846G5346G4771G1488G2532G1537G846G1161G4074G2036G444G1510G375659About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean."G2532G5616G1339G3391G5610G243G5100G1340G3004G1909G225G3778G2532G2258G3326G846G1063G2532G2076G105760Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.G1161G4074G2036G444G1492G3756G3739G3004G2532G3916G846G2089G2980G220G545561The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times."G2532G2962G4762G1689G4074G2532G4074G5279G3056G2962G5613G2036G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515162And he went outside and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G1831G1854G2799G409063The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him.G2532G435G4912G2424G1702G846G119464They blindfolded him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit you?"G2532G4028G846G5180G846G4383G2532G1905G846G3004G4395G5101G2076G3817G457165And they said many other insulting things to him.G2532G4183G2087G987G3004G1519G84666At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them.G2532G5613G1096G2250G4244G2992G5037G749G2532G1122G4863G2532G321G846G1519G1438G4892G300467"If you are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me,G1487G1488G4771G5547G2036G2254G1161G2036G846G1437G2036G5213G4100G3364G410068and if I asked you, you would not answer.G1161G1437G2532G2065G611G3364G611G3427G2228G63069But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."G3568G575G2071G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G231670They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You say that I am."G1161G5346G3956G1488G4771G3767G5207G2316G1161G2036G4314G846G5210G3004G3754G1473G151071Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."G1161G2036G5101G2192G5532G2089G3141G1063G846G191G575G846G4750
