And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. 26 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all 2 these words, he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of 3 man is delivered up to be crucified. Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was 4 called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together that 5 they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people. 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of 7 Simon the leper, there came unto him a woman having 1 1 1an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, 1 Or, a flask and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, 9 saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the 10 poor. But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good 11 work upon me. For ye have the poor always with but me ye have not always. For in that she 2poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to pre- 2 Gr. cast. 13 pare me for burial. Verily I say unto you, Whereso 12 you; 14 good tidings ever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, 3 Or, these that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas 15 Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of 2 Many authorities, some an cient, omit disciples. silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to 16 deliver him unto them. Now on the first day of unleavened bread the dis- 17 ciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? And he 18 said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto 1 Or, Teacher him, The 1Master saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the 19 disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Now when even was come, he 20 was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples; and as 21 they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceed- 22 ing sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord? And he answered and said, He that 23 dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth, even as it is 24 written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. And Judas, which be- 25 trayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were 26 4 Or, a loaf eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took a cup, and gave thanks, 27 and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is 28 read the cup. my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many the testament unto remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will 29 7 Many not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that authorities day when I drink it new with you in my Father's 3 Gr. for him if that man. 5 Some ancient authorities 6 Or, ancient insert new. 8 Gr. caused to stumble. kingdom. 6 4 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out 30 unto the mount of Olives. 8 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended 31 in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am raised up, I will go before 32 you into Galilee. But Peter answered and said unto 33 him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be 8 offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto 34 thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt 8 35 deny me thrice. Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 36 closed piece of ground. Then cometh Jesus with them unto 1a place called 1 Gr. an enGethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, 37 while I go yonder and pray. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be 38 sorrowful and sore troubled. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: 39 abide ye here, and watch with me. And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not 41 watch with me one hour? 2Watch and pray, that ye 2 Or, Watch enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, that ye enter ye, and pray 42 but the flesh is weak. Again a second time he went not away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cannot 43 pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came again and found them sleeping, for their 44 eyes were heavy. And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same 45 words. Then cometh he to the 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 46 unto the hands of sinners. Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me. 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. 48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, 49 Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he take him. And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; 3 him much. 50 and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, 3 Gr. kissed do that for which thou art come. Then they came 51 and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of 4 Gr. 52 the high priest, and struck off his ear. Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: bondservant. 1 Or, sanc ch. xxiii. 35; xxvii. 5. for all they that take the sword shall perish with the 1 And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the 57 house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. But Peter 58 followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end. Now the chief priests and the whole council sought 59 false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; and they found it not, though many false wit- 60 nesses came. But afterward came two, and said, This 61 man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, tuary: as in and to build it in three days. And the high priest 62 stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus 63 held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto 64 him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his garments, say- 65 ing, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? They answered and said, 66 2 Gr. liable to. He is 2 worthy of death.
