1<\/sup>AND it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master saith, My time is near at hand, with thee I make the pasch with my disciples.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>Then Jesus said to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.<\/span> <\/p>\n 34<\/sup>Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.<\/span> <\/p>\n 35<\/sup>Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples.<\/span> <\/p>\n 36<\/sup>Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.<\/span> <\/p>\n 37<\/sup>And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.<\/span> <\/p>\n 38<\/sup>Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 39<\/sup>And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.<\/span> <\/p>\n 40<\/sup>And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?<\/span> <\/p>\n 41<\/sup>Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.<\/span> <\/p>\n 42<\/sup>Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.<\/span> <\/p>\n 43<\/sup>And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.<\/span> <\/p>\n 44<\/sup>And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.<\/span> <\/p>\n 45<\/sup>Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.<\/span> <\/p>\n 46<\/sup>Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 47<\/sup>As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.<\/span> <\/p>\n 48<\/sup>And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.<\/span> <\/p>\n 49<\/sup>And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 50<\/sup>And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 51<\/sup>And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.<\/span> <\/p>\n 52<\/sup>Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.<\/span> <\/p>\n 53<\/sup>Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?<\/span> <\/p>\n 54<\/sup>How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?<\/span> <\/p>\n 55<\/sup>In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 56<\/sup>Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.<\/span> <\/p>\n 57<\/sup>But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.<\/span> <\/p>\n 58<\/sup>And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest. And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end.<\/span> <\/p>\n 59<\/sup>And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death:<\/span> <\/p>\n 60<\/sup>And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses:<\/span> <\/p>\n 61<\/sup>And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 62<\/sup>And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?<\/span> <\/p>\n 63<\/sup>But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 64<\/sup>Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.<\/span> <\/p>\n 65<\/sup>Then the high priests rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:<\/span> <\/p>\n 66<\/sup>What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death.<\/span> <\/p>\n 67<\/sup>Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him: and others struck his face with the palms of their hands,<\/span> <\/p>\n 68<\/sup>Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?<\/span> <\/p>\n 69<\/sup>But Peter sat without in the court: and there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean.<\/span> <\/p>\n 70<\/sup>But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.<\/span> <\/p>\n 71<\/sup>And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 72<\/sup>And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 73<\/sup>And after a little while they came that stood by, and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 74<\/sup>Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.<\/span> <\/p>\n 75<\/sup>And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.<\/span> <\/p>\n
