 26:1  And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, he said unto his disciples,
 26:2  Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
 26:3  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the
high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
 26:4  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety,
and kill [him].
 26:5  But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an
uproar among the people.
 26:6  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper,
 26:7  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of
very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat
[at meat].
 26:8  But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,
saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
 26:9  For this ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the poor.
 26:10  When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
 26:11  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have
not always.
 26:12  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body,
she did [it] for my burial.
 26:13  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this
woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
 26:14  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests,
 26:15  And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will
deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty
pieces of silver.
 26:16  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
 26:17  Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread
the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou
that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
 26:18  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say
unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the
passover at thy house with my disciples.
 26:19  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and
they made ready the passover.
 26:20  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.
 26:21  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you,
that one of you shall betray me.
 26:22  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one
of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
 26:23  And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand
with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
 26:24  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe
unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been
good for that man if he had not been born.
 26:25  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
 26:26  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
[it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said,
Take, eat; this is my body.
 26:27  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to
them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
 26:28  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins.
 26:29  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this
fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you
in my Father's kingdom.
 26:30  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the
mount of Olives.
 26:31  Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended
because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
 26:32  But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
Galilee.
 26:33  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men]
shall be offended because of thee, [yet] will I never be
offended.
 26:34  Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
 26:35  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet
will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
 26:36  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I
go and pray yonder.
 26:37  And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
 26:38  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
 26:39  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
 26:40  And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me
one hour?
 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
 26:42  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying,
O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I
drink it, thy will be done.
 26:43  And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes
were heavy.
 26:44  And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the same words.
 26:45  Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: behold, the hour is at
hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
 26:46  Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth
betray me.
 26:47  And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve,
came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
from the chief priests and elders of the people.
 26:48  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
 26:49  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
and kissed him.
 26:50  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
 26:51  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a
servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
 26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into
his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with
the sword.
 26:53  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and
he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
 26:54  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that
thus it must be?
 26:55  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye
come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take
me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.
 26:56  But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook
him, and fled.
 26:57  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to
Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.
 26:58  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's
palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
 26:59  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
 26:60  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
[yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
 26:61  And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
temple of God, and to build it in three days.
 26:62  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest
thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?
 26:63  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered
and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou
tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
 26:64  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I
say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on
the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
 26:65  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath
spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
 26:66  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
death.
 26:67  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and
others smote [him] with the palms of their hands,
 26:68  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that
smote thee?
 26:69  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came
unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
 26:70  But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.
 26:71  And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid]
saw him, and said unto them that were there, This [fellow] was
also with Jesus of Nazareth.
 26:72  And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the
man.
 26:73  And after a while came unto [him] they that stood by,
and said to Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy
speech bewrayeth thee.
 26:74  Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know
not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
 26:75  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto
him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he
went out, and wept bitterly.
