26When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G3956G5128G3056G2036G846G31012"You know that the Passover will take place in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."G1492G3754G3326G1417G2250G1096G3957G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G47173Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.G5119G4863G749G2532G1122G2532G4245G2992G1519G833G749G3588G3004G25334They conspired to arrest Jesus by treachery and to kill him.G2532G4823G2443G2902G2424G1388G2532G6155But they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."4G1161G3004G3361G1722G1859G3363G1096G2351G1722G29926While Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper,G1161G2424G1096G1722G963G1722G3614G4613G30157a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume and poured it on his head while he sat at the table.G4334G846G1135G2192G211G927G3464G2532G2708G1909G846G2776G3458But when the disciples saw this they became irritated and said, "Why this waste -G1161G846G3101G1492G23G3004G1519G5101G3778G6849Surely this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the destitute."7G1063G5124G3464G1410G4097G4183G2532G1325G443410But knowing this, Jesus asked them, "Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.G1161G2424G1097G2036G846G5101G2873G3930G1135G1063G2038G2570G2041G1519G169111You will always have the destitute with you, but you will not always have me.G1063G2192G4434G3842G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G384212When she poured this perfume on my body, she was preparing me for burial.G1063G3778G846G906G5124G3464G1909G3450G4983G4160G4314G3165G177913I tell you with certainty, wherever this gospel is proclaimed throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."12G281G3004G5213G3699G1437G5124G2098G2784G1722G3650G2889G2532G3739G3778G846G4160G2980G1519G3422G84614Then one of the twelve disciples, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priestsG5119G1520G1427G3004G2455G2469G4198G4314G74915and inquired, "What are you willing to give me if I betray Jesus to you?" They offered him30 pieces of silver,G2036G5101G2309G1325G3427G2504G3860G846G5213G1161G2476G846G5144G69416and from then on he began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.G2532G575G5119G2212G2120G2443G3860G84617On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"G1161G4413G106G3101G4334G2424G3004G846G4226G2309G2090G4671G5315G395718He said, "Go to a certain man in the city and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house."'"G1161G2036G5217G1519G4172G4314G1170G2532G2036G846G1320G3004G3450G2540G2076G1451G4160G3957G4314G4571G3326G3450G310119So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal.G2532G3101G4160G5613G2424G4929G846G2532G2090G395720When evening came, Jesus was sitting at the table with the twelve disciples.G1161G3798G1096G345G3326G142721While they were eating, he said, "I tell you with certainty, one of you is going to betray me."G2532G846G2068G2036G281G3004G5213G3754G1520G1537G5216G3860G316522Feeling deeply distressed, each one began to ask him, "Surely I am not the one, Lord?"G2532G4970G3076G756G1538G846G3004G846G2962G1510G3385G147323He replied, "The man who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.G1161G611G2036G1686G5495G3326G1700G1722G5165G3778G3860G316524The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him. How terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."G3303G5207G444G5217G2531G1125G4012G846G1161G3759G1565G444G1223G3739G5207G444G3860G2258G2570G1565G846G1487G444G1080G3756G108025Then Judas, who was going to betray him, asked, "Rabbi, I'm not the one, am I?"Jesus said to him, "You have said so."G1161G2455G3588G3860G846G611G2036G4461G1510G3385G1473G3004G846G4771G203626While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it. This is my body."G1161G846G2068G2424G2983G740G2532G2127G2806G2532G1325G3101G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G498327Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,G2532G2983G4221G2532G2168G1325G846G3004G4095G3956G1537G84628because this is my blood of the new covenant that is being poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins.G1063G5124G2076G3450G129G2537G1242G3588G1632G4012G4183G1519G859G26629I tell you, I will never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it with you once again in my Father's kingdom."G1161G3004G5213G4095G3754G3364G4095G575G737G1537G5127G1081G288G2193G1565G2250G3752G4095G846G2537G3326G5216G1722G3450G3962G93230After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.G2532G5214G1831G1519G3735G163631Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will turn against me this very night, because it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'G5119G3004G2424G846G3956G5210G4624G1722G1722G1698G5026G3571G1063G1125G3960G4166G2532G4263G4167G128732However, after I have been raised, I will go to Galilee ahead of you."G1161G3326G3165G1453G4254G5209G1519G105633But Peter said to him, "Even if everyone else turns against you, I certainly won't!"G4074G611G1161G2036G846G1499G3956G4624G1722G4671G1473G3763G462434Jesus said to him, "I tell you with certainty, before a rooster crows this very night, you will deny me three times."G2424G5346G846G281G3004G4671G3754G1722G5026G3571G4250G220G5455G533G3165G515135Peter told him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same thing.G4074G3004G846G2579G3165G1163G599G4862G4671G3364G533G3364G533G4571G3668G2532G2036G3956G310136Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane. He said to the disciples, "Sit down here while I go over there and pray."G5119G2064G2424G3326G846G1519G5564G3004G1068G2532G3004G3101G2523G847G2193G3739G565G4336G156337Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to be grieved and troubled.G2532G3880G4074G2532G1417G5207G2199G756G3076G2532G8538Then he said to them, "I'm so deeply grieved that I feel I'm about to die. Wait here and stay awake with me."G5119G3004G846G3450G5590G2076G4036G2193G2288G3306G5602G2532G1127G3326G170039Going on a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, "O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."G2532G4281G3397G4281G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G2076G1415G3928G5124G4221G3928G575G1700G4133G3756G5613G1473G2309G235G5613G477140When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "So, you men couldn't stay awake with me for one hour, could you -G2532G2064G4314G3101G2532G2147G846G2518G2532G3004G4074G3779G2480G3756G1127G3326G1700G3391G561041All of you must stay awake and pray that you won't be tempted. The spirit is indeed willing, but the body is weak."40G1127G2532G4336G3363G1525G3363G1519G3986G4151G3303G4289G1161G4561G77242He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot go away unless I drink it, let your will be done."G565G3825G1537G1208G4336G3004G3450G3962G1487G5124G4221G1410G3756G3928G575G1700G3362G4095G846G4675G2307G109643Then he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open.G2532G2064G2147G846G2518G3825G1063G846G3788G2258G91644After leaving them again, he went away and prayed again for the third time, saying the same thing.G2532G863G846G565G3825G4336G1537G5154G2036G846G305645Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, "You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.G5119G2064G4314G846G3101G2532G3004G846G2518G3063G2532G373G2400G5610G1448G2532G5207G444G3860G1519G5495G26846Get up! Let's go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!"G1453G71G2400G1448G3860G316547Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived. A large crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests and elders of the people.G2532G2089G846G2089G2980G2400G2455G1520G1427G2064G2532G3326G846G4183G3793G3326G3162G2532G3586G575G749G2532G4245G299248Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him."G1161G3860G846G1325G846G4592G3004G3739G302G5368G846G2076G846G2902G846G290249So Judas immediately went up to Jesus and said, "Hello, Rabbi!" and kissed him tenderly.G2532G2112G4334G2424G2036G5463G4461G2532G2705G84650Jesus asked him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then the other men surged forward, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.G1161G2424G2036G846G2083G1909G3739G3918G5119G4334G1911G5495G1909G2424G2532G2902G84651Suddenly, one of the men with Jesus reached out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.G2532G2400G1520G3326G2424G1614G5495G645G846G3162G2532G3960G1401G749G851G846G562152Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place! Everyone who uses a sword will be killed by a sword.G5119G3004G2424G846G654G4675G3162G1519G846G5117G1063G3956G2983G3162G622G1722G316253Don't you think that I could call on my Father, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels now -G2228G1380G3754G3756G1410G737G3870G3450G3962G2532G3936G3427G4119G2228G1427G3003G3254How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say this must happen?"G4459G3767G1124G4137G3754G3779G1163G109655At this point, Jesus asked the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple, yet you didn't arrest me.G1722G1565G5610G2036G2424G3793G1831G5613G1909G3027G3326G3162G2532G3586G4815G3165G2516G2250G2596G4314G5209G1321G1722G2411G2532G2902G3756G2902G316556But all of this has happened so that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.G1161G3650G5124G1096G2443G1124G4396G4137G5119G3956G3101G863G846G534357Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.G1161G2902G2424G520G4314G2533G749G3699G1122G2532G4245G486358Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.G1161G4074G190G846G575G3113G2193G749G833G2532G1525G2080G2521G3326G5257G1492G505659Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death.G1161G749G2532G4245G2532G3650G4892G2212G5577G2596G2424G3704G2289G846G228960But they couldn't find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. At last two men came forwardG2532G2147G3756G2532G4183G5575G4334G2147G3756G1161G5305G4334G1417G557561and stated, "This man said, 'I can destroy the sanctuary of God and rebuild it in three days.'"G2036G3778G5346G1410G2647G3485G2316G2532G3618G846G1223G5140G225062At this, the high priest stood up and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"G2532G749G450G2036G846G611G3762G5101G3778G2649G467563But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!"G1161G2424G4623G2532G749G611G2036G846G1844G4571G2596G2198G2316G2443G2036G2254G1487G4771G1488G5547G5207G231664Jesus said to him, "You have said so. Nevertheless 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 robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Listen! You yourselves have just heard the blasphemy!G5119G749G1284G846G2440G3004G3754G987G5101G2089G5532G2192G3144G2396G3568G191G846G98866What is your verdict?" They replied, "He deserves to die!"G5101G1380G5213G611G1161G2036G2076G1777G228867Then they spit in his face and hit him. Some slapped him,G5119G1716G1519G846G4383G2532G2852G846G1161G447468saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?"G3004G4395G2254G5547G5101G2076G3817G457169Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard when a servant girl came up to him and said, "You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean."26G1161G4074G2521G1854G1722G833G2532G3391G3814G4334G846G3004G4771G2532G2258G3326G2424G105770But he denied it in front of them all, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."G1161G720G1715G3956G3004G1492G3756G5101G300471As he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus from Nazareth."G1161G846G1831G1519G4440G243G1492G846G2532G3004G1563G3778G2258G2532G3326G2424G348072Again he denied it and swore with an oath, "I don't know the man!"G2532G3825G720G3326G3727G3754G1492G3756G1492G44473After a little while the people who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Obviously you're also one of them, because your accent gives you away."26G1161G3326G3397G4334G2476G2036G4074G230G4771G2532G1488G1537G846G1063G2532G4675G2981G1212G4571G416074Then he began to curse violently. "I don't know the man!" he swore solemnly. Just then a rooster crowed.G5119G756G2653G2532G3660G3754G1492G3756G444G2532G2112G220G545575Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times." Then he went outside and cried bitterly.G2532G4074G3415G4487G2424G3588G2046G846G3754G4250G220G5455G533G3165G5151G2532G1854G1831G2799G4090
