22The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called Passover, was drawing near.G1161G1859G106G1448G3004G39572The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Him to death, because they were afraid of the people.G2532G749G2532G1122G2212G4459G337G846G1063G5399G29923Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve.G1161G1525G4567G1519G2455G1941G2469G5607G1537G706G14274He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand Him over to them.G2532G565G4814G749G2532G4755G4459G3860G846G8465They were glad and agreed to give him silver.G2532G5463G2532G4934G1325G846G6946So he accepted [the offer] and started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them when the crowd was not present.G2532G1843G2532G2212G2120G3860G846G846G817G37937Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.G1161G2064G2250G106G1722G3739G3957G1163G23808Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it."G2532G649G4074G2532G2491G2036G4198G2090G2254G3957G2443G53159"Where do You want us to prepare it?" they asked Him.G1161G2036G846G4226G2309G209010"Listen," He said to them, "when you've entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters.G1161G2036G846G2400G5216G1525G1519G4172G4876G444G4876G5213G941G2765G5204G190G846G1519G3614G3757G153111Tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, "Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?"'G2532G2046G3617G3614G1320G3004G4671G4226G2076G2646G3699G5315G3957G3326G3450G310112Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there."G2548G1166G5213G3173G508G4766G1563G209013So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.G1161G565G2147G2531G2046G846G2532G2090G395714When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.G2532G3753G5610G1096G377G2532G1427G652G4862G84615Then He said to them, "I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.G2532G2036G4314G846G1939G1937G5315G5124G3957G3326G5216G4253G3165G395816For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."G1063G3004G5213G3754G5315G3765G3364G5315G846G1537G2193G3755G4137G1722G932G231617Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves.G2532G1209G4221G2168G2036G2983G5124G2532G1266G143818For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."G1063G3004G5213G3754G4095G3364G4095G575G1081G288G2193G3755G932G2316G206419And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."G2532G2983G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3004G5124G2076G3450G4983G3588G1325G5228G5216G5124G4160G364G1519G169920In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, "This cup is the new covenant [established by] My blood; it is shed for you.G5615G2532G4221G3326G1172G3004G5124G4221G2537G1242G1722G3450G129G3588G1632G5228G521621But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!G4133G2400G5495G3860G3165G3326G1700G1909G513222For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"G2532G3303G5207G444G4198G2596G3724G4133G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G386023So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.G2532G846G756G4802G4314G1438G5101G686G1537G846G1498G3195G4238G512424Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.G1161G1096G2532G5379G1722G846G5101G846G1380G1511G318725But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'G1161G2036G846G935G1484G2961G846G2532G1850G846G2564G211026But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving.G1161G5210G3756G3779G235G3187G1722G5213G1096G5613G3501G2532G2233G5613G124727For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn't it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.G1063G5101G3187G345G2228G1247G3780G345G1161G1473G1510G1722G3319G5216G5613G124728You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.G1161G5210G2075G1265G3326G1700G1722G3450G398629I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one on Me,G2504G1303G5213G932G2531G3450G3962G1303G342730so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.G2443G2068G2532G4095G1909G3450G5132G1722G3450G932G2532G2523G1909G2362G2919G1427G5443G247431"Simon, Simon, look out! Satan has asked to sift you like wheat.G1161G2962G2036G4613G4613G2400G4567G1809G5209G4617G5613G462132But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."G1161G1473G1189G4012G4675G3363G4675G4102G1587G3363G2532G4218G4771G1994G4741G4675G8033"Lord," he told Him, "I'm ready to go with You both to prison and to death!"G1161G2036G846G2962G1510G2092G4198G3326G4675G2532G1519G5438G2532G1519G228834"I tell you, Peter," He said, "the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me!"G1161G2036G3004G4671G4074G220G5455G3364G5455G4594G4250G2228G5151G533G3361G1492G316535He also said to them, "When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Not a thing," they said.G2532G2036G846G3753G649G5209G817G905G2532G4082G2532G5266G3361G5302G5100G1161G2036G376236Then He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn't have a sword should sell his robe and buy one.G3767G2036G846G235G3568G2192G905G142G2532G3668G4082G2532G2192G3361G3162G4453G846G2440G2532G5937For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws. Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment."G1063G3004G5213G3754G5124G1125G1163G2089G5055G1722G1698G2532G3049G3326G459G2532G1063G4012G1700G2192G505638"Lord," they said, "look, here are two swords." "Enough of that!" He told them.G1161G2036G2962G2400G5602G1417G3162G1161G2036G846G2076G242539He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.G2532G1831G4198G2596G1485G1519G3735G1636G1161G846G3101G2532G190G84640When He reached the place, He told them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."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— nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done."G3004G3962G1487G1014G3911G3911G5124G4221G575G1700G4133G3361G3450G2307G235G4674G109643[[Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.G1161G3700G32G846G575G3772G1765G84644Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.]]G2532G1096G1722G74G4336G1617G1161G846G2402G1096G5616G2361G129G2597G1909G109345When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.G2532G450G575G4335G2064G4314G846G3101G2147G846G2837G575G307746"Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation."G2532G2036G846G5101G2518G450G4336G3363G1525G1519G398647While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,G1161G846G2089G2980G2400G3793G2532G3004G2455G1520G1427G4281G846G2532G1448G2424G5368G84648but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"G1161G2424G2036G846G2455G3860G5207G444G537049When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they asked, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"G1161G4012G846G1492G2071G2036G846G2962G1487G3960G1722G316250Then one of them struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear.G2532G1520G5100G1537G846G3960G1401G749G2532G851G846G1188G377551But Jesus responded, "No more of this!" And touching his ear, He healed him.G1161G2424G611G2036G1439G5127G2193G2532G680G846G5621G2390G84652Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?G1161G2424G2036G4314G749G2532G4755G2411G2532G4245G3854G1909G846G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G358653Every day while I was with you in the temple complex, you never laid a hand on Me. But this is your hour— and the dominion of darkness."G5607G3450G5607G2250G2596G3326G5216G1722G2411G1614G3756G5495G1909G1691G235G3778G2076G5216G5610G2532G1849G465554They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest's house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance.G1161G4815G846G71G2532G1521G846G1519G749G3624G1161G4074G190G311355They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them.G1161G846G681G4442G1722G3319G833G2532G4776G4074G2521G3319G1722G84656When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, "This man was with Him too."G1161G5100G3814G1492G846G2521G4314G5457G2532G816G846G2036G3778G2258G2532G4862G84657But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know Him!"G1161G720G846G3004G1135G1492G846G375658After a little while, someone else saw him and said, "You're one of them too!" "Man, I am not!" Peter said.G2532G3326G1024G2087G1492G846G5346G4771G1488G2532G1537G846G1161G4074G2036G444G1510G375659About an hour later, another kept insisting, "This man was certainly with Him, since he's also a Galilean."G2532G5616G1339G3391G5610G243G5100G1340G3004G1909G225G3778G2532G2258G3326G846G1063G2532G2076G105760But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.G1161G4074G2036G444G1492G3756G3739G3004G2532G3916G846G2089G2980G220G545561Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."G2532G2962G4762G1689G4074G2532G4074G5279G3056G2962G5613G2036G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515162And he went outside and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G1831G1854G2799G409063The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.G2532G435G4912G2424G1702G846G119464After blindfolding Him, they kept asking, "Prophesy! Who hit You?"G2532G4028G846G5180G846G4383G2532G1905G846G3004G4395G5101G2076G3817G457165And they were saying many other blasphemous things against Him.G2532G4183G2087G987G3004G1519G84666When daylight came, the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the scribes, convened and brought Him before their Sanhedrin.G2532G5613G1096G2250G4244G2992G5037G749G2532G1122G4863G2532G321G846G1519G1438G4892G300467They said, "If You are the Messiah, tell us." But He said to them, "If I do tell you, you will not believe.G1487G1488G4771G5547G2036G2254G1161G2036G846G1437G2036G5213G4100G3364G410068And if I ask you, you will not answer.G1161G1437G2532G2065G611G3364G611G3427G2228G63069But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God."G3568G575G2071G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G231670They all asked, "Are You, then, the Son of God?" And He said to them, "You say that I am."G1161G5346G3956G1488G4771G3767G5207G2316G1161G2036G4314G846G5210G3004G3754G1473G151071"Why do we need any more testimony," they said, "since we've heard it ourselves from His mouth?"G1161G2036G5101G2192G5532G2089G3141G1063G846G191G575G846G4750
