1After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death.[#Matt. 26:2–5; Luke 22:1, 2; John 11:55; 13:1; #Ex. 12:1–27; Mark 14:12]
2But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.”
3And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.[#Matt. 26:6; Luke 7:37; John 12:1, 3]
4But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply.[#Matt. 18:28; Mark 12:15; #Matt. 20:11; John 6:61]
6But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
7For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.[#Deut. 15:11; Matt. 26:11; John 12:8; #(John 7:33; 8:21; 14:2, 12; 16:10, 17, 28)]
8She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.
9Assuredly, 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.”[#Matt. 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47]
10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them.[#Ps. 41:9; 55:12–14; Matt. 10:2–4]
11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
12Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”[#Ex. 12:8; Matt. 26:17–19; Luke 22:7–13]
13And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
14Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’
15Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”
16So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.
17In the evening He came with the twelve.[#Matt. 26:20–24; Luke 22:14, 21–23]
18Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”[#Ps. 41:9; Matt. 26:46; Mark 14:42; John 6:70, 71; 13:18]
19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another said, “Is it I?”
20He answered and said to them, “ It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.
21The 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 never been born.”[#Matt. 26:24; Luke 22:22; Acts 1:16–20]
22And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”[#Matt. 26:26–29; Luke 22:17–20; 1 Cor. 11:23–25; #(1 Pet. 2:24)]
23Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
25Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.[#Matt. 26:30]
27Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:[#Matt. 26:31–35; Mark 14:50; John 16:32]
‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.’
28“But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”[#Matt. 28:16; Mark 16:7; John 21:1]
29Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be. ”[#Matt. 26:33, 34; Luke 22:33, 34; John 13:37, 38]
30Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And they all said likewise.
32Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”[#Matt. 26:36–46; Luke 22:40–46; John 18:1]
33And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.[#Mark 5:37; 9:2; 13:3]
34Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”[#Is. 53:3, 4; Matt. 26:38; John 12:27]
35He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will. ”[#Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6; #(Heb. 5:7); #Is. 50:5; John 5:30; 6:38]
37Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”[#Luke 21:36; #(Rom. 7:18, 21–24; Gal. 5:17)]
39Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
40And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.[#John 13:1; 17:1]
42Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”[#Matt. 26:46; Mark 14:18; Luke 9:44; John 13:21; 18:1, 2]
43And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.[#Ps. 3:1; Matt. 26:47–56; Luke 22:47–53; John 18:3–11]
44Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”[#(Prov. 27:6)]
45As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him.
47And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?[#Matt. 26:55; Luke 22:52]
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”[#Matt. 21:23; #Ps. 22:6; Is. 53:7; Luke 22:37; 24:44]
50Then they all forsook Him and fled.[#Ps. 88:8; Zech. 13:7; Matt. 26:31; Mark 14:27]
51Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,
52and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.[#Matt. 26:57–68; Mark 10:33; Luke 22:54; John 18:12, 13, 19–24; #Mark 15:1; #Matt. 16:21; 27:12; Luke 9:22; 23:23; John 7:32; 18:3; 19:6]
54But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.[#John 18:15]
55Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.[#Matt. 26:59]
56For many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.[#Ex. 20:16; Ps. 27:12; 35:11; Prov. 6:16–19; 19:5]
57Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,
58“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ”[#Matt. 26:61; Mark 15:29; John 2:19; (2 Cor. 5:1)]
59But not even then did their testimony agree.
60And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”[#Matt. 26:62; Mark 15:3–5]
61But He kept silent and answered nothing.[#Is. 53:7; John 19:9; Acts 8:32; (1 Pet. 2:23)]
Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”[#Matt. 24:30; 26:64; Luke 22:69]
63Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?”[#John 10:33, 36]
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
65Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.[#Job 16:10; Is. 50:6; 52:14; Lam. 3:30; Mark 10:34; Luke 18:32]
66Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.[#Matt. 26:58, 69–75; Luke 22:55–62; John 18:16–18, 25–27]
67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”[#Mark 10:47; John 1:45; Acts 10:38]
68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”[#Matt. 26:71; Luke 22:58; John 18:25]
70But he denied it again.
And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it. ”
71Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
72A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.[#Matt. 26:75; Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34; John 13:38]
