Mt 26.1-5; Lk 22.1-2; Jn 11.47-53. It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him; 2for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people.”

Mt 26.6-13; Lk 7.36-38; Jn 12.1-8. And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment thus wasted? 5For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii,#14.5 The denarius was a day's wage for a laborer and given to the poor.” And they reproached her. 6But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7#Deut 15.11. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me. 8#Jn 19.40. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying. 9And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”
10 #
Mt 26.14-16; Lk 22.3-6. Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.
12 #
Mt 26.17-19; Lk 22.7-13. And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?” 13And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, 14and wherever he enters, say to the householder, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?’ 15And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.
17 #
Mt 26.20-25; Lk 22.14,21-23; Jn 13.21-30; Ps 41.9. And when it was evening he came with the twelve. 18And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
22 #
Mt 26.26-29; Lk 22.17-19; 1 Cor 11.23-26. #Mk 6.41; 8.6; Lk 24.30. And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23#1 Cor 10.16. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24#Ex 24.8; Heb 9.20. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the#14.24 Other ancient authorities insert new covenant, which is poured out for many. 25Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 #
Mt 26.30-35; Lk 22.33-34. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27#Zech 13.7; Jn 16.32. And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away; for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28#Mk 16.7. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 29Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30#Mk 14.66-72; Jn 13.36-38; 18.17-18,25-27. And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31But he said vehemently, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
32 #
Mt 26.36-46; Lk 22.40-46; Heb 5.7-8. And they went to a place which was called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.” 33And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34#Jn 12.27. And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch.”#14.34 Or keep awake 35And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36#Rom 8.15; Gal 4.6; Mk 10.38; Jn 18.11. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt.” 37And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch#14.37 Or keep awake one hour? 38#Mt 6.13; Lk 11.4. Watch#14.38 Or keep awake and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him. 41And he came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
43 #
Mt 26.47-56; Lk 22.47-53; Jn 18.2-11. And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, “Master!”#14.45 Or Rabbi And he kissed him. 46And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49#Lk 19.47; Jn 18.19-21. Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled.” 50And they all forsook him, and fled.
51And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him, 52but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.
53 #
Mt 26.57-68; Lk 22.54-55,63-71; Jn 18.12-24. And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled. 54And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire. 55Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none. 56For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree. 57And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58#Mk 13.2; 15.29; Acts 6.14; Jn 2.19. “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’ ” 59Yet not even so did their testimony agree. 60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 61But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62#Dan 7.13; Mk 9.1; 13.26. And Jesus said, “I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63#Acts 14.14; Num 14.6. And the high priest tore his garments, and said, “Why do we still need witnesses? 64#Lev 24.16. You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they all condemned him as deserving death. 65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows.
66 #
Mt 26.69-75; Lk 22.56-62; Jn 18.16-18,25-27; Mk 14.30. And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came; 67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway.#14.68 Or fore-court. Other ancient authorities add and the cock crowed 69And the maid saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean.” 71But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

Mark 14
14
1And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;
2and they said, ‘Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.’
3And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;
4and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, ‘For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?
5for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;’ and they were murmuring at her.
6And Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;
7for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;
8what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.
9Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.’
10And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,
11and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.
12And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, ‘Where wilt thou, [that,] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?’
13And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, ‘Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;
14and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house — The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
15and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.’
16And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.
17And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,
18and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, ‘Verily I say to you — one of you, who is eating with me — shall deliver me up.’
19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, ‘Is it I?’ and another, ‘Is it I?’
20And he answering said to them, ‘One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;
21the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.’
22And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’
23And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it — all;
24and he said to them, ‘This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;
25verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.’
26And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,
27and Jesus saith to them — ‘All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,
28but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.’
29And Peter said to him, ‘And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;’
30And Jesus said to him, ‘Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.’
31And he spake the more vehemently, ‘If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in no wise deny thee;’ and in like manner also said they all.
32And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, ‘Sit ye here till I may pray;’
33and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,
34and he saith to them, ‘Exceeding sorrowful is my soul — to death; remain here, and watch.’
35And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,
36and he said, ‘Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.’
37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, ‘Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!
38Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.’
39And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;
40and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.
41And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, ‘Sleep on henceforth, and rest — it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;
42rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.’
43And immediately — while he is yet speaking — cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
44and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, ‘Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,’
45and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi,’ and kissed him.
46And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;
47and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.
48And Jesus answering said to them, ‘As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!
49daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me — but that the Writings may be fulfilled.’
50And having left him they all fled;
51and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,
52and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.
53And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;
54and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.
55And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,
56for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.
57And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying —
58‘We heard him saying — I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;’
59and neither so was their testimony alike.
60And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, ‘Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?’
61and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, ‘Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?’
62and Jesus said, ‘I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.’
63And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, ‘What need have we yet of witnesses?
64Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?’ and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,
65and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, ‘Prophesy;’ and the officers were striking him with their palms.
66And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,
67and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, ‘And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!’
68and he denied, saying, ‘I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;’ and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.
69And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — ‘This is of them;’
70and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, ‘Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;’
71and he began to anathematize, and to swear — ‘I have not known this man of whom ye speak;’
72and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him — ‘Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;’ and having thought thereon — he was weeping.
