Chapter 14 (CV)

¹ Now it was the Passover and the unleavened bread after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how, laying hold of Him by guile, they should be killing Him.
² For they said, "Not in the festival, lest at some time there will be a tumult of the people."
³ And at His being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at His lying down, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of veritable nard attar, costly. And crushing the alabaster vase, she pours it down on His head.
⁴ Now some were resenting this to themselves and saying, "For what has this destruction of the attar occurred?
⁵ For this attar could have been disposed of for over three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they muttered against her.
⁶ Yet Jesus said, "Leave her! Why are you affording her weariness? For it is an ideal work she works in Me.
⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you may be wanting, you can always do well to them, yet Me you have not always.
⁸ What she had she makes use of. She gets beforehand to anoint My body with attar for burial.
⁹ Now verily I am saying to you, Wheresoever this evangel may be heralded in the whole world, that also which she does shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."
¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, came away to the chief priests that he may be giving Him up to them.
¹¹ Now those who hear him rejoice, and promise to give him silver. And he sought how he may be opportunely giving Him up.
¹² And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, His disciples are saying to Him, "Where dost Thou want us to come away that we should be making ready, that Thou mayest eat the passover?"
¹³ And He is dispatching two of His disciples and is saying to them, "Go into the city, and a man will be meeting you, bearing a jar of water. Follow him.
¹⁴ And wheresoever he may be entering, say to the householder that 'The Teacher is saying, "Where is My caravansary, where I may be eating the passover with My disciples?"'
¹⁵ And he will be showing you a large upper room, ready with places spread, and there make ready for us."
¹⁶ And His disciples came out and came into the city, and they found it according as He said to them. And they make ready the passover.
¹⁷ And, evening coming on, He is coming with the twelve.
¹⁸ And, at their lying back at table and eating, Jesus said, "Verily, I am saying to you that one of you who is eating with Me shall give Me up."
¹⁹ Now they begin to be sorrowful and to be saying to Him, one by one, "It is not I, Rabbi?" and another, "Not I?"
²⁰ Now He, answering, said to them, "It is one of the twelve who is dipping his hand into the dish with Me,
²¹ seeing that the Son of Mankind is indeed going away according as it is written concerning Him, yet woe to that man through whom the Son of Mankind is being given up! Ideal were it for Him if that man were not born!"
²² And at their eating, Jesus, taking bread, blessing, breaks it and gives to them, and said, "Take; this is My body."
²³ And, taking the cup, giving thanks, He gives it to them, and they all drank of it.
²⁴ And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant that is shed for many.
²⁵ Verily, I am saying to you that no longer under any circumstances may I be drinking of the product of the grapevine till that day whenever I may be drinking it new in the kingdom of God."
²⁶ And, singing a hymn, they came out to the mount of Olives.
²⁷ And Jesus is saying to them that "All of you shall be snared in Me in this night, for it is written, I shall be smiting the shepherd And the sheep shall be scattered.
²⁸ But after My rousing I shall be preceding you into Galilee."
²⁹ Yet Peter averred to Him, "And if all shall be snared, nevertheless, not I!"
³⁰ And Jesus is saying to him, "Verily, I am saying to you that you, today, in this night, ere a cock crows twice, thrice will be renouncing Me."
³¹ Yet Peter spoke extravagantly, "Rather, if ever I must die together with Thee, I shall under no circumstances be renouncing Thee!" Now similarly also, said all.
³² And they are coming into a freehold, the name of which is Gethsemane. And He is saying to His disciples, "Be seated here till I should be praying."
³³ And He is taking Peter and James and John aside with Himself, and He begins to be overawed and depressed.
³⁴ And He is saying to them, "Sorrow-stricken is My soul to death. Remain here and watch."
³⁵ And, coming forward a little, He fell on the earth and prayed that, if it is possible, the hour may pass by from Him.
³⁶ And He said, "Abba, Father, all is possible to Thee. Have this cup carried aside from Me. But not what I will, but what Thou!"
³⁷ And He is coming and finding them drowsing. And He is saying to Peter, "Simon, are you drowsing? Are you not strong enough to watch one hour?
³⁸ Watch and pray lest you may be entering into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, yet the flesh is infirm."
³⁹ And again, coming away, He prays, saying the same words.
⁴⁰ And again, coming, He found them drowsing, for their eyes were torpid. And they were not aware what they may answer Him.
⁴¹ And He is coming the third time and is saying to them, "Are you drowsing furthermore and resting? It is away. The hour came. Lo! the Son of Mankind is being given up into the hands of sinners.
⁴² Rouse! We may be going. Lo! he who is giving Me up is near!"
⁴³ And straightway, while He is still speaking, coming along is Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a vast throng with swords and cudgels, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
⁴⁴ Now he who is giving Him up had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I should be kissing, He it is. Hold Him, and lead Him away securely."
⁴⁵ And, coming, straightway coming to Him, he is saying, "Rabbi, Rabbi," and he kisses Him fondly.
⁴⁶ Now they lay their hands on Him and hold Him.
⁴⁷ Now a certain one of those standing by, pulling a sword, hits the slave of the chief priest and amputates his ear.
⁴⁸ And answering, Jesus said to them, "As after a robber do you come out with swords and cudgels to apprehend Me?
⁴⁹ Daily was I with you in the sanctuary, teaching, and you do not hold Me; but, that the scripture may be fulfilled -- "
⁵⁰ And, leaving Him, they all fled.
⁵¹ And one, a certain youth, was following with Him, clothed in a linen wrapper on his naked body, and the youths are holding him.
⁵² Yet he, leaving the linen wrapper, fled naked from them.
⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the chief priest Caiaphas. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes are coming together to Him.
⁵⁴ And Peter, from afar, follows Him till within the courtyard of the chief priest, and was sitting together with the deputies, and warming himself at the light.
⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin sought false testimony against Jesus, to put Him to death, and they found it not;
⁵⁶ for many testified against Him falsely, and the testimonies were not consistent.
⁵⁷ And some, rising, testified against Him falsely, saying that
⁵⁸ "We hear Him saying that 'I shall be demolishing this temple made by hands, and during three days I shall be building another not made by hands.'"
⁵⁹ And neither thus was their testimony consistent.
⁶⁰ And the chief priest, rising in the midst, inquires of Jesus, saying, "You are not answering anything? What are these testifying against you?"
⁶¹ Yet Jesus was silent and does not answer anything. Again the chief priest inquired of Him and is saying to Him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of God, the Blessed?"
⁶² Now Jesus said, "I am; and you shall be seeing the Son of Mankind sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
⁶³ Now the chief priest, tearing his tunics, is saying, "What need have we still of witnesses?
⁶⁴ Lo! now you hear the blasphemy! What is it appearing to you?" Now they all condemn Him to be liable to death.
⁶⁵ And some begin to be spitting on Him and putting a covering about His face and buffeting Him and saying to Him, "Prophesy!" And the deputies, with slaps, took Him.
⁶⁶ And at Peter's being below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the chief priest is coming,
⁶⁷ and, perceiving Peter warming himself, looking at him, she is saying, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarean!"
⁶⁸ Yet he denies, saying, "Neither am I aware, nor am I an adept in what you are saying." And he came outside into the forecourt. And a cock crows.
⁶⁹ And the maid, perceiving him, begins again to say to those standing by that "This one is of them."
⁷⁰ Yet again he denied. And after a little, those standing by said again to Peter, "Truly you are of them, for you are a Galilean also, and your speech is alike."
⁷¹ Now he begins to be anathematizing and swearing that "I am not acquainted with this man of whom you are telling!"
⁷² And, straightway, a second time, a cock crows. And Peter recollects the declaration, as Jesus said to him that "Ere a cock crows twice, thrice you will be renouncing Me." And, reflecting, he lamented.

Chapter 14 (KJV)

¹ After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
² But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
³ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
⁴ And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
⁵ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
⁶ And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
⁷ For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
⁸ She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
⁹ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
¹¹ And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
¹² And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
¹³ And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
¹⁴ And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
¹⁵ And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
¹⁷ And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
¹⁸ And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
²⁰ And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
²¹ The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
²² And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
²³ And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
²⁴ And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
²⁶ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
²⁷ And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
²⁸ But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
²⁹ But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
³⁰ And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
³¹ But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
³² And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
³³ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
³⁴ And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
³⁵ And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
³⁸ Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
³⁹ And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
⁴⁰ And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
⁴¹ And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
⁴² Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
⁴³ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
⁴⁴ And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
⁴⁵ And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
⁴⁷ And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
⁵⁰ And they all forsook him, and fled.
⁵¹ And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
⁵² And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
⁵⁴ And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
⁵⁶ For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
⁵⁷ And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
⁵⁹ But neither so did their witness agree together.
⁶⁰ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
⁶¹ But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
⁶³ Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
⁶⁶ And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
⁶⁹ And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
⁷² And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
