Verse | |
1. Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. | |
2. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. | |
3. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. | |
4. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. | |
5. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. | |
6. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. | |
7. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. | |
8. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. | |
9. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? | |
10. And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. | |
11. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? | |
12. And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. | |
13. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. | |
14. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. | |
15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: | |
16. For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. | |
17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: | |
18. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. | |
19. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. | |
20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. | |
21. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. | |
22. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! | |
23. And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. | |
24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. | |
25. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. | |
26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. | |
27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. | |
28. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. | |
29. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; | |
30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. | |
31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: | |
32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. | |
33. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. | |
34. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. | |
35. And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. | |
36. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. | |
37. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. | |
38. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. | |
39. And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. | |
40. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. | |
41. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, | |
42. Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. | |
43. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. | |
44. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. | |
45. And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, | |
46. And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. | |
47. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. | |
48. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? | |
49. When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? | |
50. And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. | |
51. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. | |
52. Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? | |
53. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. | |
54. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. | |
55. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. | |
56. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. | |
57. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. | |
58. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. | |
59. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. | |
60. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. | |
61. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. | |
62. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. | |
63. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. | |
64. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? | |
65. And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. | |
66. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, | |
67. Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: | |
68. And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. | |
69. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. | |
70. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. | |
71. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. |
