The Plot to Kill Jesus

26Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples,G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G3956G5128G3056G2036G846G31012"You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."G1492G3754G3326G1417G2250G1096G3957G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G47173Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,G5119G4863G749G2532G1122G2532G4245G2992G1519G833G749G3588G3004G25334and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.G2532G4823G2443G2902G2424G1388G2532G6155But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people."G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3363G1096G2351G1722G2992

The Anointing at Bethany

6And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,G1161G2424G1096G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G30157a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.G4334G846G1135G2192G211G927G3464G2532G2708G1909G846G2776G3458But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?G1161G846G3101G1492G23G3004G1519G5101G3778G6849"For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."G1063G5124G3464G1410G4097G4183G2532G1325G443410But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.G1161G2424G1097G2036G846G5101G2873G3930G1135G1063G2038G2570G2041G1519G169111"For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.G1063G2192G4434G3842G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G384212"For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.G1063G3778G846G906G5124G3464G1909G3450G4983G4160G4314G3165G177913"Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."G281G3004G5213G3699G1437G5124G2098G2784G1722G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G846

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priestsG5119G1520G1427G3004G2455G2469G4198G4314G74915and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.G2036G5101G2309G1325G3427G2504G3860G846G5213G1161G2476G846G5144G69416So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.G2532G575G5119G2212G2120G2443G3860G846

Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples

17Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "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 will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"G1161G2036G5217G1519G4172G4314G1170G2532G2036G846G1320G3004G3450G2540G2076G1451G4160G3957G4314G4571G3326G3450G310119So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.G2532G3101G4160G5613G2424G4929G846G2532G2090G395720When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.G1161G3798G1096G345G3326G142721Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."G2532G846G2068G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"G2532G4970G3076G756G1538G846G3004G846G2962G1510G3385G147323He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.G1161G611G2036G1686G5495G3326G1700G1722G5165G3778G3860G316524"The Son of Man indeed goes 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."G3303G5207G444G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2258G2570G1565G846G1487G444G1080G3756G108025Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."G1161G2455G3588G3860G846G611G2036G4461G1510G3385G1473G3004G846G4771G2036

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."G1161G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2532G2127G2806G2532G1325G3101G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498327Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.G2532G2983G4221G2532G2168G1325G846G3004G4095G3956G1537G84628"For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission 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 when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G1636

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'G5119G3004G2424G846G3956G5210G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G1063G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G4167G128732"But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."G1161G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105633Peter answered and said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble."G4074G611G1161G2036G846G1499G3956G4624G1722G4671G1473G3763G462434Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."G2424G5346G846G281G3004G4671G3754G1722G5026G3571G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515135Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And so said all the disciples.G4074G3004G846G2579G3165G1163G599G4862G4671G3364G533G3364G533G4571G3668G2532G2036G3956G3101

The Prayer in the Garden

36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go and pray over there."G5119G2064G2424G3326G846G1519G5564G3004G1068G2532G3004G3101G2523G847G2193G3739G565G4336G156337And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.G2532G3880G4074G2532G1417G5207G2199G756G3076G2532G8538Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me."G5119G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G1127G3326G170039He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."G2532G4281G3397G4281G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G2076G1415G3928G5124G4221G3928G575G1700G4133G3756G5613G1473G2309G235G5613G477140Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What? Could you not watch with Me one hour?G2532G2064G4314G3101G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G3779G2480G3756G1127G3326G1700G3391G561041"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G3363G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77242Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done."G565G3825G1537G1208G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G5124G4221G1410G3756G3928G575G1700G3362G4095G846G4675G2307G109643And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.G2532G2064G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G91644So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.G2532G863G846G565G3825G4336G1537G5154G2036G846G305645Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.G5119G2064G4314G846G3101G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G2400G5610G1448G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26846"Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."G1453G71G2400G1448G3860G3165

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane

47And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.G2532G2089G846G2089G2980G2400G2455G1520G1427G2064G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G575G749G2532G4245G299248Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him."G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4592G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G846G2902G846G290249Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.G2532G2112G4334G2424G2036G5463G4461G2532G2705G84650But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.G1161G2424G2036G846G2083G1909G3739G3918G5119G4334G1911G5495G1909G2424G2532G2902G84651And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.G2532G2400G1520G3326G2424G1614G5495G645G846G3162G2532G3960G1401G749G851G846G562152But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.G5119G3004G2424G846G654G4675G3162G1519G846G5117G1063G3956G2983G3162G622G1722G316253"Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?G2228G1380G3754G3756G1410G737G3870G3450G3962G2532G3936G3427G4119G2228G1427G3003G3254"How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?"G4459G3767G1124G4137G3754G3779G1163G109655In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.G1722G1565G5610G2036G2424G3793G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G3165G2516G2250G2596G4314G5209G1321G1722G2411G2532G2902G3756G2902G316556"But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G1124G4396G4137G5119G3956G3101G863G846G5343

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

57And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.G1161G2902G2424G520G4314G2533G749G3699G1122G2532G4245G486358But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.G1161G4074G190G846G575G3113G2193G749G833G2532G1525G2080G2521G3326G5257G1492G505659Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,G1161G749G2532G4245G2532G3650G4892G2212G5577G2596G2424G3704G2289G846G228960but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forwardG2532G2147G3756G2532G4183G5575G4334G2147G3756G1161G5305G4334G1417G557561and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"G2036G3778G5346G1410G2647G3485G2316G2532G3618G846G1223G5140G225062And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"G2532G749G450G2036G846G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467563But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"G1161G2424G4623G2532G749G611G2036G846G1844G4571G2596G2198G2316G2443G2036G2254G1487G4771G1488G5547G5207G231664Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."G2424G3004G846G4771G2036G4133G3004G5213G737G575G3700G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G2532G2064G1909G3507G377265Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!G5119G749G1284G846G2440G3004G3754G987G5101G2089G5532G2192G3144G2396G3568G191G846G98866"What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is deserving of death."G5101G1380G5213G611G1161G2036G2076G1777G228867Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands,G5119G1716G1519G846G4383G2532G2852G846G1161G447468saying, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?"G3004G4395G2254G5547G5101G2076G3817G4571

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly

69Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."G1161G4074G2521G1854G1722G833G2532G3391G3814G4334G846G3004G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G105770But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are saying."G1161G720G1715G3956G3004G1492G3756G5101G300471And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth."G1161G846G1831G1519G4440G243G1492G846G2532G3004G1563G3778G2258G2532G3326G2424G348072But again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man!"G2532G3825G720G3326G3727G3754G1492G3756G1492G44473And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you."G1161G3326G3397G4334G2476G2036G4074G230G4771G2532G1488G1537G846G1063G2532G4675G2981G1212G4571G416074Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.G5119G756G2653G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G444G2532G2112G220G545575And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G3415G4487G2424G3588G2046G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G5151G2532G1854G1831G2799G4090
