26And it came about that when Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G3956G5128G3056G2036G846G31012"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is [to be] delivered up for crucifixion."G1492G3754G3326G1417G2250G1096G3957G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G47173Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas;G5119G4863G749G2532G1122G2532G4245G2992G1519G833G749G3588G3004G25334and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth, and kill [Him.]G2532G4823G2443G2902G2424G1388G2532G6155But they were saying, "Not during the festival, lest a riot occur among the people."G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3363G1096G2351G1722G29926Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,G1161G2424G1096G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G30157a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it upon His head as He reclined [at the table.]G4334G846G1135G2192G211G927G3464G2532G2708G1909G846G2776G3458But the disciples were indignant when they saw [this,] and said, "Why this waste?G1161G846G3101G1492G23G3004G1519G5101G3778G6849"For this [perfume] might have been sold for a high price and [the money] given to the poor."G1063G5124G3464G1410G4097G4183G2532G1325G443410But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.G1161G2424G1097G2036G846G5101G2873G3930G1135G1063G2038G2570G2041G1519G169111"For the poor you have with you always; but you do not always have Me.G1063G2192G4434G3842G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G384212"For when she poured this perfume upon My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.G1063G3778G846G906G5124G3464G1909G3450G4983G4160G4314G3165G177913"Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be spoken of in memory of her."G281G3004G5213G3699G1437G5124G2098G2784G1722G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G84614Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,G5119G1520G1427G3004G2455G2469G4198G4314G74915and said, "What are you willing to give me to deliver Him up to you?" And they weighed out to him thirty pieces of silver.G2036G5101G2309G1325G3427G2504G3860G846G5213G1161G2476G846G5144G69416And from then on he [began] looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.G2532G575G5119G2212G2120G2443G3860G84617Now on the first [day] of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"G1161G4413G106G3101G4334G2424G3004G846G4226G2309G2090G4671G5315G395718And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ' The Teacher says," My time is at hand; I [am to] keep the Passover at your house with My disciples. "'"G1161G2036G5217G1519G4172G4314G1170G2532G2036G846G1320G3004G3450G2540G2076G1451G4160G3957G4314G4571G3326G3450G310119And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.G2532G3101G4160G5613G2424G4929G846G2532G2090G395720Now when evening had come, He was reclining [at the table] with the twelve disciples.G1161G3798G1096G345G3326G142721And as they were eating, He said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."G2532G846G2068G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522And being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"G2532G4970G3076G756G1538G846G3004G846G2962G1510G3385G147323And He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.G1161G611G2036G1686G5495G3326G1700G1722G5165G3778G3860G316524"The Son of Man [is to] go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."G3303G5207G444G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2258G2570G1565G846G1487G444G1080G3756G108025And Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" He *said to him, "You have said [it] yourself."G1161G2455G3588G3860G846G611G2036G4461G1510G3385G1473G3004G846G4771G203626And while they were eating, Jesus took [some] bread, and after a blessing, He broke [it] and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."G1161G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2532G2127G2806G2532G1325G3101G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498327And when He had taken a cup and given 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 forgiveness of sins.G1063G5124G2076G3450G129G2537G1242G3588G1632G4012G4183G1519G859G26629"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."G1161G3004G5213G4095G3754G3364G4095G575G737G1537G5127G1081G288G2193G1565G2250G3752G4095G846G2537G3326G5216G1722G3450G3962G93230And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G163631Then Jesus *said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'G5119G3004G2424G846G3956G5210G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G1063G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G4167G128732"But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."G1161G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105633But Peter answered and said to Him, ["Even] though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."G4074G611G1161G2036G846G1499G3956G4624G1722G4671G1473G3763G462434Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this [very] night, before a cock crows, you shall deny Me three times."G2424G5346G846G281G3004G4671G3754G1722G5026G3571G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515135Peter *said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.G4074G3004G846G2579G3165G1163G599G4862G4671G3364G533G3364G533G4571G3668G2532G2036G3956G310136Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."G5119G2064G2424G3326G846G1519G5564G3004G1068G2532G3004G3101G2523G847G2193G3739G565G4336G156337And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.G2532G3880G4074G2532G1417G5207G2199G756G3076G2532G8538Then He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."G5119G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G1127G3326G170039And He went a little beyond [them,] and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as Thou wilt."G2532G4281G3397G4281G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G2076G1415G3928G5124G4221G3928G575G1700G4133G3756G5613G1473G2309G235G5613G477140And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, "So, you [men] could not keep watch with Me for one hour?G2532G2064G4314G3101G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G3779G2480G3756G1127G3326G1700G3391G561041"Keep watching and praying, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G3363G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77242He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Thy will be done."G565G3825G1537G1208G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G5124G4221G1410G3756G3928G575G1700G3362G4095G846G4675G2307G109643And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.G2532G2064G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G91644And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.G2532G863G846G565G3825G4336G1537G5154G2036G846G305645Then He *came to the disciples, and *said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.G5119G2064G4314G846G3101G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G2400G5610G1448G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26846"Arise, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"G1453G71G2400G1448G3860G316547And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, accompanied by a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.G2532G2089G846G2089G2980G2400G2455G1520G1427G2064G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G575G749G2532G4245G299248Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I shall kiss, He is the one; seize Him."G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4592G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G846G2902G846G290249And immediately he went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.G2532G2112G4334G2424G2036G5463G4461G2532G2705G84650And Jesus said to him, "Friend, [do] what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.G1161G2424G2036G846G2083G1909G3739G3918G5119G4334G1911G5495G1909G2424G2532G2902G84651And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.G2532G2400G1520G3326G2424G1614G5495G645G846G3162G2532G3960G1401G749G851G846G562152Then Jesus *said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.G5119G3004G2424G846G654G4675G3162G1519G846G5117G1063G3956G2983G3162G622G1722G316253"Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?G2228G1380G3754G3756G1410G737G3870G3450G3962G2532G3936G3427G4119G2228G1427G3003G3254"How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way?"G4459G3767G1124G4137G3754G3779G1163G109655At that time Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.G1722G1565G5610G2036G2424G3793G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G3165G2516G2250G2596G4314G5209G1321G1722G2411G2532G2902G3756G2902G316556"But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G1124G4396G4137G5119G3956G3101G863G846G534357And those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.G1161G2902G2424G520G4314G2533G749G3699G1122G2532G4245G486358But Peter also was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.G1161G4074G190G846G575G3113G2193G749G833G2532G1525G2080G2521G3326G5257G1492G505659Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, in order that they might put Him to death;G1161G749G2532G4245G2532G3650G4892G2212G5577G2596G2424G3704G2289G846G228960and they did not find [any,] even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,G2532G2147G3756G2532G4183G5575G4334G2147G3756G1161G5305G4334G1417G557561and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"G2036G3778G5346G1410G2647G3485G2316G2532G3618G846G1223G5140G225062And the high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You make no answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"G2532G749G450G2036G846G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467563But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."G1161G2424G4623G2532G749G611G2036G846G1844G4571G2596G2198G2316G2443G2036G2254G1487G4771G1488G5547G5207G231664Jesus *said to him, "You have said it [yourself]; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."G2424G3004G846G4771G2036G4133G3004G5213G737G575G3700G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G2532G2064G1909G3507G377265Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;G5119G749G1284G846G2440G3004G3754G987G5101G2089G5532G2192G3144G2396G3568G191G846G98866what do you think? "They answered and said," He is deserving of death! "G5101G1380G5213G611G1161G2036G2076G1777G228867Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,G5119G1716G1519G846G4383G2532G2852G846G1161G447468and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"G3004G4395G2254G5547G5101G2076G3817G457169Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a certain servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."G1161G4074G2521G1854G1722G833G2532G3391G3814G4334G846G3004G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G105770But he denied [it] before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."G1161G720G1715G3956G3004G1492G3756G5101G300471And when he had gone out to the gateway, another [servant-girl] saw him and *said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."G1161G846G1831G1519G4440G243G1492G846G2532G3004G1563G3778G2258G2532G3326G2424G348072And again he denied [it] with an oath, "I do not know the man."G2532G3825G720G3326G3727G3754G1492G3756G1492G44473And a little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are [one] of them; for the way you talk gives you away."G1161G3326G3397G4334G2476G2036G4074G230G4771G2532G1488G1537G846G1063G2532G4675G2981G1212G4571G416074Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a cock crowed.G5119G756G2653G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G444G2532G2112G220G545575And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a cock crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G3415G4487G2424G3588G2046G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G5151G2532G1854G1831G2799G4090
