14IT WAS now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were all the while seeking to arrest [Jesus] by secrecy {and} deceit and put [Him] to death,G1161G1417G2250G2258G3957G2532G3326G106G2532G749G2532G1122G2212G4459G2902G846G1722G1388G6152For they kept saying, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there might be a riot of the people.G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3379G2071G2351G29923And while He was in Bethany, [a guest] in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining [at table], a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment (perfume) of pure nard, very costly {and} precious; and she broke the jar and poured [the perfume] over His head.G2532G846G5607G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G3015G846G2621G2064G1135G2192G211G3464G3487G4101G4185G2532G4937G211G2708G2596G846G27764But there were some who were moved with indignation and said to themselves, To what purpose was the ointment (perfume) thus wasted?G1161G2258G5100G23G4314G1438G2532G3004G1519G5101G1096G3778G684G3464G10965For it was possible to have sold this [perfume] for more than 300 denarii [a laboring man's wages for a year] and to have given [the money] to the poor. And they censured {and} reproved her.G1063G5124G1410G4097G1883G5145G1220G2532G1325G4434G2532G1690G8466But Jesus said, Let her alone; why are you troubling her? She has done a good {and} beautiful thing to Me [praiseworthy and noble].G1161G2424G2036G863G846G863G5101G2873G3930G846G2038G2570G2041G1519G16917For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have Me.G1063G2192G4434G3326G1438G3842G2532G3752G2309G1410G4160G846G2095G1161G1691G2192G3756G38428She has done what she could; she came beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.G4160G3739G3778G846G2192G4301G3462G3450G4983G1519G17809And surely I tell you, wherever the good news (the Gospel) is proclaimed in the entire world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.G281G3004G5213G3699G302G5124G2098G2784G1519G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G84610Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve [apostles], went off to the chief priests in order to betray {and} hand Him over to them.G2532G2455G2469G1520G1427G565G4314G749G2443G3860G846G84611And when they heard it, they rejoiced {and} were delighted, and they promised to give him money. And he [busying himself continually] sought an opportunity to betray Him.G1161G191G5463G2532G1861G1325G846G694G2532G2212G4459G2122G3860G84612On the first day [of the Feast] of Unleavened Bread, when [as was customary] they killed the Passover lamb, [Jesus'] disciples said to Him, Where do You wish us to go [and] prepare the Passover [supper] for You to eat?G2532G4413G2250G106G3753G2380G3957G846G3101G3004G846G4226G2309G565G2090G2443G5315G395713And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying an [earthen] jar {or} pitcher of water will meet you; follow him.G2532G649G1417G846G3101G2532G3004G846G5217G1519G4172G2532G528G5213G444G941G2765G5204G190G84614And whatever [house] he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover [supper] with My disciples?G2532G3699G1437G1525G2036G3617G3754G1320G3004G4226G2076G2646G3699G5315G3957G3326G3450G310115And he will [himself] show you a large upper room, furnished [with carpets and with dining couches properly spread] and ready; there prepare for us.G2532G846G1166G5213G3173G508G4766G2092G1563G2090G225416Then the disciples set out and came to the city and found [everything] just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.G2532G846G3101G1831G2532G2064G1519G4172G2532G2147G2531G2036G846G2532G2090G395717And when it was evening, He came with the Twelve [apostles].G2532G1096G3798G2064G3326G142718And while they were at the table eating, Jesus said, Surely I say to you, one of you will betray Me, [one] who is eating [here] with Me.G2532G846G345G2532G2068G2424G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3588G2068G3326G1700G3860G316519And they began to show that they were sad {and} hurt, and to say to Him one after another, Is it I? {or,} It is not I, is it?G1161G756G3076G2532G3004G846G1527G3385G1473G2532G243G3385G147320He replied to them, It is one of the Twelve [apostles], one who is dipping [bread] into the [same deep] dish with Me.G1161G611G2036G846G1520G1537G1427G1686G3326G1700G1519G516521For the Son of Man is going as it stands written concerning Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good (profitable and wholesome) for that man if he had never been born.G5207G444G3303G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2570G2258G1565G444G1487G846G1080G3756G108022And while they were eating, He took a loaf [of bread], praised God {and} gave thanks {and} asked Him to bless it to their use. [Then] He broke [it] and gave to them and said, Take. {Eat.} This is My body.G2532G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2127G2806G2532G1325G846G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498323He also took a cup [of the juice of grapes], and when He had given thanks, He gave [it] to them, and they all drank of it.G2532G2983G4221G2168G1325G846G2532G3956G4095G1537G84624And He said to them, This is My blood [which ratifies] the {new} covenant, [the blood] which is being poured out for (on account of) many.G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G3450G129G2537G1242G3588G1632G4012G418325Solemnly {and} surely I tell you, I shall not again drink of the fruit of the vine till that day when I drink it of a new {and} a higher quality in God's kingdom.G281G3004G5213G3364G4095G3754G3765G1537G1081G288G2193G1565G2250G3752G4095G846G2537G1722G932G231626And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G163627And Jesus said to them, You will all fall away {this night} [that is, you will be caused to stumble and will begin to distrust and desert Me], for it stands written, I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.G2532G2424G3004G846G3754G3956G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G3754G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G128728But after I am raised [to life], I will go before you into Galilee.G235G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105629But Peter said to Him, Even if they all fall away {and} are caused to stumble {and} distrust {and} desert You, yet I will not [do so]!G1161G4074G5346G846G2532G1487G3956G4624G235G3756G147330And Jesus said to him, Truly I tell you, this very night, before a cock crows twice, you will utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times.G2532G2424G3004G846G281G3004G4671G3754G4594G1722G5026G3571G4250G2228G220G5455G1364G533G3165G515131But [Peter] said more vehemently {and} repeatedly, [Even] if it should be necessary for me to die with You, I will not deny {or} disown You! And they all kept saying the same thing.G1161G3004G3123G1537G4053G1437G3165G1163G4880G4671G3364G533G4571G3364G5615G1161G2532G3004G395632Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, Sit down here while I pray.G2532G2064G1519G5564G3739G3686G1068G2532G3004G846G3101G2523G5602G2193G433633And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be struck with terror {and} amazement and deeply troubled {and} depressed.G2532G3880G3326G1438G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G756G1568G2532G8534And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sad (overwhelmed with grief) so that it almost kills Me! Remain here and keep awake {and} be watching.G2532G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G112735And going a little farther, He fell on the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the [fatal] hour might pass from Him.G2532G4281G3397G4098G1909G1093G2532G4336G2443G1487G2076G1415G5610G3928G575G84636And He was saying, Abba, [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].G2532G3004G5G3962G3956G1415G4671G3911G5124G4221G575G1700G235G3756G5101G1473G2309G235G5101G477137And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Have you not the strength to keep awake {and} watch [with Me for] one hour?G2532G2064G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G4613G2518G2480G3756G1127G3391G561038Keep awake {and} watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77239He went away again and prayed, saying the same words.G2532G3825G565G4336G2036G846G305640And again He came back and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what answer to give Him.G2532G5290G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G916G2532G3756G1492G5101G611G84641And He came back a third time and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough [of that]! The hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinful men (men whose way or nature is to act in opposition to God).G2532G2064G5154G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G566G5610G2064G2400G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26842Get up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand!G1453G71G2400G3860G3165G144843And at once, while He was still speaking, Judas came, one of the Twelve [apostles], and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, [who came] from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders [of the Sanhedrin].G2532G2112G846G2089G2980G3854G2455G1520G5607G1427G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G3844G749G2532G1122G2532G424544Now the betrayer had given them a signal, saying, The One I shall kiss is [the Man]; seize Him and lead [Him] away safely [so as to prevent His escape].G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4953G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G2902G846G2532G520G80645And when he came, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, Master! {Master!} and he embraced Him {and} kissed Him fervently.G2532G2064G4334G2112G846G3004G4461G4461G2532G2705G84646And they threw their hands on Him and arrested Him.G1161G1911G846G5495G1909G846G2532G2902G84647But one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.G1161G5100G1520G3936G4685G3162G3817G1401G749G2532G851G846G562148And Jesus said to them, Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber to capture Me?G2532G2424G611G2036G846G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G316549I was with you daily in the temple [porches and courts] teaching, and you did not seize Me; but [this has happened] that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.G2252G2250G2596G4314G5209G1722G2411G1321G2532G2902G3165G3756G235G1124G2443G413750Then [His disciples], forsaking Him, fled, all [of them].G2532G3956G863G846G534351And a young man was following Him, with nothing but a linen cloth (sheet) thrown about [his] naked [body]; and they laid hold of him,G2532G190G846G1520G5100G3495G4616G4016G1909G1131G2532G3495G2902G84652But, leaving behind the linen cloth (sheet), he fled from them naked.G1161G2641G4616G5343G575G846G113153And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were gathered together.G2532G520G2424G520G4314G749G2532G846G4905G3956G749G2532G4245G2532G112254And Peter followed Him at a distance, even right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting [in the firelight] with the guards and warming himself at the fire.G2532G4074G190G846G3113G575G2193G2080G1519G833G749G2532G2258G4775G3326G5257G2532G2328G4314G545755Now the chief priests and the entire council (the Sanhedrin) were constantly seeking [to get] testimony against Jesus with a view to condemning Him {and} putting Him to death, but they did not find any.G1161G749G2532G3650G4892G2212G3141G2596G2424G1519G2289G846G2289G2532G2147G375656For many were repeatedly bearing false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.G1063G4183G5576G2596G846G2532G3141G2258G2470G3756G225857And some stood up and were bearing false witness against Him, saying,G2532G450G5100G5576G2596G846G300458We heard Him say, I will destroy this temple (sanctuary) which is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, made without hands.G3754G2249G191G846G3004G3754G1473G2647G5126G3485G5499G2532G1223G5140G2250G3618G243G88659Still not even [in this] did their testimony agree.G2532G3761G3779G2470G846G3141G2258G247060And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, Have You not even one answer to make? What [about this which] these [men] are testifying against You?G2532G749G450G1519G3319G1905G2424G3004G3756G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467561But He kept still and did not answer at all. Again the high priest asked Him, Are You the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), the Son of the Blessed?G1161G4623G2532G611G3762G3825G749G1905G846G2532G3004G846G1488G4771G5547G5207G212862And Jesus said, I AM; and you will [all] see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power (the Almighty) and coming on the clouds of heaven.G1161G2424G2036G1473G1510G2532G3700G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G2532G2064G3326G3507G377263Then the high priest tore his garments and said, What need have we for more witnesses?G1161G749G1284G846G5509G3004G5101G5532G2192G2089G314464You have heard His blasphemy. What is your decision? And they all condemned Him as being guilty {and} deserving of death.G191G988G5101G5316G5213G1161G3956G2632G846G1511G1777G228865And some of them began to spit on Him and to blindfold Him and to strike Him with their fists, saying to Him, Prophesy! And the guards received Him with blows {and} by slapping Him.G2532G5100G756G1716G846G2532G4028G846G4383G2532G2852G846G2532G3004G846G4395G2532G5257G906G846G447566While Peter was down below in the courtyard, one of the [serving] maids of the high priest came;G2532G4074G5607G2736G1722G833G2064G3391G3814G74967And when she saw Peter warming himself, she gazed intently at him and said, You were with Jesus of Nazareth too.G2532G1492G4074G2328G1689G846G3004G2532G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G347968But he denied it falsely {and} disowned Him, saying, I neither know nor understand what you say. Then he went outside [the courtyard and was] into the vestibule. {And a cock crowed.}G1161G720G3004G1492G3756G3761G1987G5101G4771G3004G2532G1831G1854G1519G4259G2532G220G545569And the maidservant saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, This [man] is [one] of them.G2532G3814G1492G846G3825G756G3004G3936G3754G3778G2076G1537G84670But again he denied it falsely {and} disowned Him. And after a short while, again the bystanders said to Peter, Really, you are one of them, for you are a Galilean {and your dialect shows it.}G1161G720G3825G2532G3397G3326G3936G3004G3825G4074G230G1488G1537G846G2532G1063G1488G1057G2532G4675G2981G366271Then he commenced invoking a curse on himself [should he not be telling the truth] and swearing, I do not know the Man about Whom you are talking!G1161G756G332G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G5126G444G3739G300472And at once for the second time a cock crowed. And Peter remembered how Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times. And having put his thought upon it [and remembering], he broke down {and} wept aloud {and} lamented.G2532G1537G1208G220G5455G2532G4074G363G4487G3739G2424G2036G846G3754G4250G220G5455G1364G533G3165G5151G2532G1911G2799
