MT-26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these


sayings, he

said unto his disciples,

MT-26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the
passover, and the

Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

MT-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,

MT-26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety,
and kill [him].



MT-26:5 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an
uproar among

the people.

MT-26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon
the leper,

MT-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].

MT-26:8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,
saying, To what

purpose [is] this waste?

MT-26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the

poor.

MT-26:10 When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the

woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

MT-26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have
not always.

MT-26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body,
she did [it]

for my burial.

MT-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.

MT-26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief

priests,

MT-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.

MT-26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

MT-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?

MT-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.

MT-26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and
they made

ready the passover.

MT-26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.

MT-26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you,
that one of you

shall betray me.

MT-26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one
of them to say

unto him, Lord, is it I?

MT-26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand
with me in the

dish, the same shall betray me.

MT-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.

MT-26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I?

He said unto him, Thou hast said.

MT-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.

MT-26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to
them, saying,

Drink ye all of it;

MT-26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for

the remission of sins.

MT-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.

MT-26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the
mount of

Olives.

MT-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.

MT-26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
Galilee.

MT-26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men]
shall be offended

because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended.

MT-26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
night, before

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

MT-26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,
yet will I not

deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

MT-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.

MT-26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to

be sorrowful and very heavy.

MT-26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto

death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

MT-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].

MT-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?

MT-26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed

[is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.

MT-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.

MT-26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their
eyes were heavy.

MT-26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
third time,

saying the same words.

MT-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.

MT-26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth
betray me.

MT-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.

MT-26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall

kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

MT-26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
and kissed

him.

MT-26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came

they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and
he shall

presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

MT-26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that
thus it must be?



MT-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.

MT-26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be

fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
sought false

witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

MT-26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
[yet] found

they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

MT-26:61 And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
temple of God,

and to build it in three days.

MT-26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing?

what [is it which] these witness against thee?

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-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.

MT-26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
death.

MT-26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and
others smote

[him] with the palms of their hands,

MT-26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that
smote thee?

MT-26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came
unto him,

saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

MT-26:70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.



MT-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.



MT-26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the
man.

MT-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.

MT-26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know
not the man.

And immediately the cock crew.

MT-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.
