Matthew 26
26When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G3956G5128G3056G2036G846G31012"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."G1492G3754G3326G1417G2250G1096G3957G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G47173Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,G5119G4863G749G2532G1122G2532G4245G2992G1519G833G749G3588G3004G25334and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.G2532G4823G2443G2902G2424G1388G2532G6155But they said, "Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people."G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3363G1096G2351G1722G29926Now while Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,G1161G2424G1096G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G30157a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.G4334G846G1135G2192G211G927G3464G2532G2708G1909G846G2776G3458But when the disciples saw it, they were angry and said, "Why this waste?G1161G846G3101G1492G23G3004G1519G5101G3778G6849For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor."G1063G5124G3464G1410G4097G4183G2532G1325G443410But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me.G1161G2424G1097G2036G846G5101G2873G3930G1135G1063G2038G2570G2041G1519G169111For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.G1063G2192G4434G3842G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G384212By pouring this ointment on my body she has prepared me for burial.G1063G3778G846G906G5124G3464G1909G3450G4983G4160G4314G3165G177913Truly I tell you, wherever this good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her."G281G3004G5213G3699G1437G5124G2098G2784G1722G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G84614Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priestsG5119G1520G1427G3004G2455G2469G4198G4314G74915and said, "What will you give me if I betray him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.G2036G5101G2309G1325G3427G2504G3860G846G5213G1161G2476G846G5144G69416And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.G2532G575G5119G2212G2120G2443G3860G84617On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?"G1161G4413G106G3101G4334G2424G3004G846G4226G2309G2090G4671G5315G395718He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"G1161G2036G5217G1519G4172G4314G1170G2532G2036G846G1320G3004G3450G2540G2076G1451G4160G3957G4314G4571G3326G3450G310119So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal.G2532G3101G4160G5613G2424G4929G846G2532G2090G395720When it was evening, he took his place with the twelve;G1161G3798G1096G345G3326G142721and while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."G2532G846G2068G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?"G2532G4970G3076G756G1538G846G3004G846G2962G1510G3385G147323He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.G1161G611G2036G1686G5495G3326G1700G1722G5165G3778G3860G316524The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born."G3303G5207G444G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2258G2570G1565G846G1487G444G1080G3756G108025Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" He replied, "You have said so."G1161G2455G3588G3860G846G611G2036G4461G1510G3385G1473G3004G846G4771G203626While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."G1161G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2532G2127G2806G2532G1325G3101G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498327Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;G2532G2983G4221G2532G2168G1325G846G3004G4095G3956G1537G84628for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.G1063G5124G2076G3450G129G2537G1242G3588G1632G4012G4183G1519G859G26629I tell you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."G1161G3004G5213G4095G3754G3364G4095G575G737G1537G5127G1081G288G2193G1565G2250G3752G4095G846G2537G3326G5216G1722G3450G3962G93230When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G163631Then Jesus said to them, "You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'G5119G3004G2424G846G3956G5210G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G1063G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G4167G128732But after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."G1161G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105633Peter said to him, "Though all become deserters because of you, I will never desert you."G4074G611G1161G2036G846G1499G3956G4624G1722G4671G1473G3763G462434Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."G2424G5346G846G281G3004G4671G3754G1722G5026G3571G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515135Peter said to him, "Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you." And so said all the disciples.G4074G3004G846G2579G3165G1163G599G4862G4671G3364G533G3364G533G4571G3668G2532G2036G3956G310136Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."G5119G2064G2424G3326G846G1519G5564G3004G1068G2532G3004G3101G2523G847G2193G3739G565G4336G156337He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated.G2532G3880G4074G2532G1417G5207G2199G756G3076G2532G8538Then he said to them, "I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me."G5119G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G1127G3326G170039And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want."G2532G4281G3397G4281G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G2076G1415G3928G5124G4221G3928G575G1700G4133G3756G5613G1473G2309G235G5613G477140Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?G2532G2064G4314G3101G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G3779G2480G3756G1127G3326G1700G3391G561041Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G3363G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77242Again he went away for the second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done."G565G3825G1537G1208G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G5124G4221G1410G3756G3928G575G1700G3362G4095G846G4675G2307G109643Again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.G2532G2064G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G91644So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.G2532G863G846G565G3825G4336G1537G5154G2036G846G305645Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.G5119G2064G4314G846G3101G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G2400G5610G1448G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26846Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand."G1453G71G2400G1448G3860G316547While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.G2532G2089G846G2089G2980G2400G2455G1520G1427G2064G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G575G749G2532G4245G299248Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him."G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4592G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G846G2902G846G290249At once he came up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.G2532G2112G4334G2424G2036G5463G4461G2532G2705G84650Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you are here to do." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.G1161G2424G2036G846G2083G1909G3739G3918G5119G4334G1911G5495G1909G2424G2532G2902G84651Suddenly, one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword, drew it, and struck the slave of the high priest, cutting off his ear.G2532G2400G1520G3326G2424G1614G5495G645G846G3162G2532G3960G1401G749G851G846G562152Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.G5119G3004G2424G846G654G4675G3162G1519G846G5117G1063G3956G2983G3162G622G1722G316253Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?G2228G1380G3754G3756G1410G737G3870G3450G3962G2532G3936G3427G4119G2228G1427G3003G3254But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say it must happen in this way?"G4459G3767G1124G4137G3754G3779G1163G109655At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.G1722G1565G5610G2036G2424G3793G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G3165G2516G2250G2596G4314G5209G1321G1722G2411G2532G2902G3756G2902G316556But all this has taken place, so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G1124G4396G4137G5119G3956G3101G863G846G534357Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered.G1161G2902G2424G520G4314G2533G749G3699G1122G2532G4245G486358But Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would end.G1161G4074G190G846G575G3113G2193G749G833G2532G1525G2080G2521G3326G5257G1492G505659Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death,G1161G749G2532G4245G2532G3650G4892G2212G5577G2596G2424G3704G2289G846G228960but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forwardG2532G2147G3756G2532G4183G5575G4334G2147G3756G1161G5305G4334G1417G557561and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"G2036G3778G5346G1410G2647G3485G2316G2532G3618G846G1223G5140G225062The high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?"G2532G749G450G2036G846G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467563But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I put you under oath before the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."G1161G2424G4623G2532G749G611G2036G846G1844G4571G2596G2198G2316G2443G2036G2254G1487G4771G1488G5547G5207G231664Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, From now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."G2424G3004G846G4771G2036G4133G3004G5213G737G575G3700G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G2532G2064G1909G3507G377265Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy.G5119G749G1284G846G2440G3004G3754G987G5101G2089G5532G2192G3144G2396G3568G191G846G98866What is your verdict?" They answered, "He deserves death."G5101G1380G5213G611G1161G2036G2076G1777G228867Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him,G5119G1716G1519G846G4383G2532G2852G846G1161G447468saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?"G3004G4395G2254G5547G5101G2076G3817G457169Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant-girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."G1161G4074G2521G1854G1722G833G2532G3391G3814G4334G846G3004G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G105770But he denied it before all of them, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."G1161G720G1715G3956G3004G1492G3756G5101G300471When he went out to the porch, another servant-girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."G1161G846G1831G1519G4440G243G1492G846G2532G3004G1563G3778G2258G2532G3326G2424G348072Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."G2532G3825G720G3326G3727G3754G1492G3756G1492G44473After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."G1161G3326G3397G4334G2476G2036G4074G230G4771G2532G1488G1537G846G1063G2532G4675G2981G1212G4571G416074Then he began to curse, and he swore an oath, "I do not know the man!" At that moment the cock crowed.G5119G756G2653G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G444G2532G2112G220G545575Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G3415G4487G2424G3588G2046G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G5151G2532G1854G1831G2799G4090
