1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. 2And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people. 3And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4And he went away, and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him to them. 5And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude. 7And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed. 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat. 9And they said to him, Where do you want us to make ready? 10And he said to them, Behold, when you have entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house into which he goes. 11And you shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13And they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover. 14And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the apostles with him. 15And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16for I say to you, I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18for I say to you, I shall not drink from now on of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me. 20And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you. 21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22For the Son of man indeed goes, as it has been determined: but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed! 23And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 25And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and those who have authority over them are called Benefactors. 26But you shall not be so: but he who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he who is chief, as he who serves. 27For which is greater, he who reclines at table, or he who serves? is it not he who reclines at table? but I am in the midst of you as he who serves. 28But you are those who have continued with me in my temptations; 29and I appoint to you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed to me, 30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: 32but I made supplication for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers. 33And he said to him, Lord, with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death. 34And he said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day, until you shall deny three times that you know me. 35And he said to them, When I sent you out without purse, and bag, and shoes, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. 36And he said to them, But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he who has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37For I say to you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for that which concerns me has fulfillment. 38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. 39And he came out, and went, as his custom was, to the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him. 40And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation. 41And he was parted from them about a stone’s throw; and he knelt down and prayed, 42saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done. 43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground. 45And when he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46and said to them, Why do you sleep? rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. 47While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near to Yeshua to kiss him. 48But Yeshua said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? 49And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? 50And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51But Yeshua answered and said, Allow them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52And Yeshua said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed far off. 55And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. 56And a certain servant girl seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking steadfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him. 57But he denied, saying, Woman, I do not know him. 58And after a little while another saw him, and said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 59And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Truly this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan. 60But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the rooster crows this day you shall deny me three times. 62And he went out, and wept bitterly. 63And the men who held Yeshua mocked him, and beat him. 64And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he who struck you? 65And many other things they spoke against him, reviling him. 66And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying, 67If you are the Messiah, tell us. But he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe: 68and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69But from now on the Son of man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 70And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that I am. 71And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
