26When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G3956G5128G3056G2036G846G31012"As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."G1492G3754G3326G1417G2250G1096G3957G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G47173Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,G5119G4863G749G2532G1122G2532G4245G2992G1519G833G749G3588G3004G25334and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.G2532G4823G2443G2902G2424G1388G2532G6155"But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3363G1096G2351G1722G29926While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper,G1161G2424G1096G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G30157a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.G4334G846G1135G2192G211G927G3464G2532G2708G1909G846G2776G3458When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.G1161G846G3101G1492G23G3004G1519G5101G3778G6849"This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."G1063G5124G3464G1410G4097G4183G2532G1325G443410Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.G1161G2424G1097G2036G846G5101G2873G3930G1135G1063G2038G2570G2041G1519G169111The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.G1063G2192G4434G3842G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G384212When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.G1063G3778G846G906G5124G3464G1909G3450G4983G4160G4314G3165G177913I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."G281G3004G5213G3699G1437G5124G2098G2784G1722G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G84614Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priestsG5119G1520G1427G3004G2455G2469G4198G4314G74915and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins.G2036G5101G2309G1325G3427G2504G3860G846G5213G1161G2476G846G5144G69416From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.G2532G575G5119G2212G2120G2443G3860G84617On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"G1161G4413G106G3101G4334G2424G3004G846G4226G2309G2090G4671G5315G395718He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'"G1161G2036G5217G1519G4172G4314G1170G2532G2036G846G1320G3004G3450G2540G2076G1451G4160G3957G4314G4571G3326G3450G310119So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.G2532G3101G4160G5613G2424G4929G846G2532G2090G395720When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.G1161G3798G1096G345G3326G142721And while they were eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."G2532G846G2068G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely not I, Lord?"G2532G4970G3076G756G1538G846G3004G846G2962G1510G3385G147323Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.G1161G611G2036G1686G5495G3326G1700G1722G5165G3778G3860G316524The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."G3303G5207G444G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2258G2570G1565G846G1487G444G1080G3756G108025Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."G1161G2455G3588G3860G846G611G2036G4461G1510G3385G1473G3004G846G4771G203626While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."G1161G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2532G2127G2806G2532G1325G3101G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498327Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.G2532G2983G4221G2532G2168G1325G846G3004G4095G3956G1537G84628This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.G1063G5124G2076G3450G129G2537G1242G3588G1632G4012G4183G1519G859G26629I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."G1161G3004G5213G4095G3754G3364G4095G575G737G1537G5127G1081G288G2193G1565G2250G3752G4095G846G2537G3326G5216G1722G3450G3962G93230When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G163631Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: "'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'G5119G3004G2424G846G3956G5210G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G1063G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G4167G128732But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."G1161G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105633Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will."G4074G611G1161G2036G846G1499G3956G4624G1722G4671G1473G3763G462434"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."G2424G5346G846G281G3004G4671G3754G1722G5026G3571G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515135But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same.G4074G3004G846G2579G3165G1163G599G4862G4671G3364G533G3364G533G4571G3668G2532G2036G3956G310136Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."G5119G2064G2424G3326G846G1519G5564G3004G1068G2532G3004G3101G2523G847G2193G3739G565G4336G156337He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.G2532G3880G4074G2532G1417G5207G2199G756G3076G2532G8538Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."G5119G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G1127G3326G170039Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."G2532G4281G3397G4281G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G2076G1415G3928G5124G4221G3928G575G1700G4133G3756G5613G1473G2309G235G5613G477140Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.G2532G2064G4314G3101G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G3779G2480G3756G1127G3326G1700G3391G561041"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G3363G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77242He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."G565G3825G1537G1208G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G5124G4221G1410G3756G3928G575G1700G3362G4095G846G4675G2307G109643When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.G2532G2064G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G91644So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.G2532G863G846G565G3825G4336G1537G5154G2036G846G305645Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.G5119G2064G4314G846G3101G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G2400G5610G1448G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26846Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"G1453G71G2400G1448G3860G316547While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.G2532G2089G846G2089G2980G2400G2455G1520G1427G2064G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G575G749G2532G4245G299248Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4592G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G846G2902G846G290249Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.G2532G2112G4334G2424G2036G5463G4461G2532G2705G84650Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for."Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.G1161G2424G2036G846G2083G1909G3739G3918G5119G4334G1911G5495G1909G2424G2532G2902G84651With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.G2532G2400G1520G3326G2424G1614G5495G645G846G3162G2532G3960G1401G749G851G846G562152"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.G5119G3004G2424G846G654G4675G3162G1519G846G5117G1063G3956G2983G3162G622G1722G316253Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?G2228G1380G3754G3756G1410G737G3870G3450G3962G2532G3936G3427G4119G2228G1427G3003G3254But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"G4459G3767G1124G4137G3754G3779G1163G109655At that time Jesus said to the crowd, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.G1722G1565G5610G2036G2424G3793G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G3165G2516G2250G2596G4314G5209G1321G1722G2411G2532G2902G3756G2902G316556But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G1124G4396G4137G5119G3956G3101G863G846G534357Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.G1161G2902G2424G520G4314G2533G749G3699G1122G2532G4245G486358But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.G1161G4074G190G846G575G3113G2193G749G833G2532G1525G2080G2521G3326G5257G1492G505659The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.G1161G749G2532G4245G2532G3650G4892G2212G5577G2596G2424G3704G2289G846G228960But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forwardG2532G2147G3756G2532G4183G5575G4334G2147G3756G1161G5305G4334G1417G557561and declared, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'"G2036G3778G5346G1410G2647G3485G2316G2532G3618G846G1223G5140G225062Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?"G2532G749G450G2036G846G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467563But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."G1161G2424G4623G2532G749G611G2036G846G1844G4571G2596G2198G2316G2443G2036G2254G1487G4771G1488G5547G5207G231664"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."G2424G3004G846G4771G2036G4133G3004G5213G737G575G3700G5207G444G2521G1537G1188G1411G2532G2064G1909G3507G377265Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.G5119G749G1284G846G2440G3004G3754G987G5101G2089G5532G2192G3144G2396G3568G191G846G98866What do you think?" "He is worthy of death," they answered.G5101G1380G5213G611G1161G2036G2076G1777G228867Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped himG5119G1716G1519G846G4383G2532G2852G846G1161G447468and said, "Prophesy to us, Christ. Who hit you?"G3004G4395G2254G5547G5101G2076G3817G457169Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said.G1161G4074G2521G1854G1722G833G2532G3391G3814G4334G846G3004G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G105770But he denied it before them all. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said.G1161G720G1715G3956G3004G1492G3756G5101G300471Then he went out to the gateway, where another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth."G1161G846G1831G1519G4440G243G1492G846G2532G3004G1563G3778G2258G2532G3326G2424G348072He denied it again, with an oath: "I don't know the man!"G2532G3825G720G3326G3727G3754G1492G3756G1492G44473After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away."G1161G3326G3397G4334G2476G2036G4074G230G4771G2532G1488G1537G846G1063G2532G4675G2981G1212G4571G416074Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.G5119G756G2653G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G444G2532G2112G220G545575Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.G2532G4074G3415G4487G2424G3588G2046G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G5151G2532G1854G1831G2799G4090
