40_MAT_26_01 And it came to pass , when Jesus had finished all These sayings , he said unto his disciples ,
40_MAT_26_02 ye know that after two days Is [ the feast of ] the passover , And the son of man Is betrayed to be crucified .
40_MAT_26_03 Then assembled together the chief priests , And the scribes , And the elders of the people , unto the palace of the high priest , who was called Caiaphas ,
40_MAT_26_04 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety , And kill [ him ] .
40_MAT_26_05 but they said , not on the feast [ day ] , lest there be an uproar among the people .
40_MAT_26_06 now when Jesus was in Bethany , in the house of Simon the leper ,
40_MAT_26_07 there came unto him A woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment , And poured it on his head , as he sat [ at meat ] .
40_MAT_26_08 but when his disciples saw [ it ] , they had indignation , saying , to what purpose [ Is ] this waste ?
40_MAT_26_09 for this ointment might have been sold for much , And given to the poor .
40_MAT_26_10 when Jesus understood [ it ] , he said unto them , why Trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought A good work upon me .
40_MAT_26_11 for ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always .
40_MAT_26_12 for in that she hath poured this ointment on my body , she did [ it ] for my burial .
40_MAT_26_13 Verily I say unto you , wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world , [ there ] shall also this , that this woman hath done , be told for A memorial of her .
40_MAT_26_14 Then one of the twelve , called Judas Iscariot , went unto the chief priests ,
40_MAT_26_15 And said [ unto them ] , what will ye give me , And I will deliver him unto you ? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver .
40_MAT_26_16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him .
40_MAT_26_17 now the first [ day ] of the [ feast of ] unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus , saying unto him , where Wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover ?
40_MAT_26_18 And he said , go into the city to such A man , And say unto him , the master saith , my time Is at hand ; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples .
40_MAT_26_19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them ; And they made ready the passover .
40_MAT_26_20 now when the even was come , he sat down with the twelve .
40_MAT_26_21 And as they did eat , he said , Verily I say unto you , that one of you shall betray me .
40_MAT_26_22 And they were exceeding sorrowful , And began every one of them to say unto him , LORD , Is it I ?
40_MAT_26_23 And he answered And said , he that dippeth [ his ] hand with me in the dish , the same shall betray me .
40_MAT_26_24 the son of man goeth as it Is written of him : but woe unto that man by whom the son of man Is betrayed ! it had been good for that man if he had not been born .
40_MAT_26_25 Then Judas , which betrayed him , answered And said , master , Is it I ? he said unto him , thou hast said .
40_MAT_26_26 And as they were eating , Jesus took bread , And blessed [ it ] , And brake [ it ] , And gave [ it ] to the disciples , And said , take , eat ; this Is my body .
40_MAT_26_27 And he took the cup , And gave thanks , And gave [ it ] to them , saying , drink ye all of it ;
40_MAT_26_28 for this Is my blood of the new testament , which Is shed for Many for the remission of sins .
40_MAT_26_29 but I say unto you , I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine , until that day when I drink it new with you in my father's kingdom .
40_MAT_26_30 And when they had sung an hymn , they went out into the mount of olives .
40_MAT_26_31 Then saith Jesus unto them , all ye shall be offended because of me this night : for it Is written , I will smite the Shepherd , And the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad .
40_MAT_26_32 but after I am risen again , I will go before you into Galilee .
40_MAT_26_33 Peter answered And said unto him , though all [ men ] shall be offended because of thee , [ yet ] will I never be offended .
40_MAT_26_34 Jesus said unto him , Verily I say unto thee , that this night , before the cock crow , thou shalt deny me thrice .
40_MAT_26_35 Peter said unto him , though I should die with thee , yet will I not deny thee . Likewise also said all the disciples .
40_MAT_26_36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto A place called Gethsemane , And saith unto the disciples , sit ye here , while I go And pray yonder .
40_MAT_26_37 And he took with him Peter And the two sons of Zebedee , And began to be sorrowful And very heavy .
40_MAT_26_38 Then saith he unto them , my soul Is exceeding sorrowful , even unto death : tarry ye here , And watch with me .
40_MAT_26_39 And he went A little farther , And fell on his face , And prayed , saying , O my Father , if it be possible , let this cup pass from me : Nevertheless not as I will , but as thou [ Wilt ] .
40_MAT_26_40 And he cometh unto the disciples , And findeth them asleep , And saith unto Peter , what , could ye not watch with me one hour ?
40_MAT_26_41 watch And pray , that ye enter not into temptation : the spirit indeed [ Is ] willing , but the flesh [ Is ] weak .
40_MAT_26_42 he went away again the second time , And prayed , saying , O my Father , if this cup may not pass away from me , except I drink it , thy will be done .
40_MAT_26_43 And he came And found them asleep again : for their eyes were heavy .
40_MAT_26_44 And he left them , And went away again , And prayed the third time , saying the same words .
40_MAT_26_45 Then cometh he to his disciples , And saith unto them , Sleep on now , And take [ your ] rest : behold , the hour Is at hand , And the son of man Is betrayed into the hands of sinners .
40_MAT_26_46 rise , let us be going : behold , he Is at hand that Doth betray me .
40_MAT_26_47 And while he yet spake , Lo , Judas , one of the twelve , came , And with him A great multitude with swords And staves , from the chief priests And elders of the people .
40_MAT_26_48 now he that betrayed him gave them A sign , saying , whomsoever I shall kiss , that same Is he : hold him fast .
40_MAT_26_49 And forthwith he came to Jesus , And said , hail , master ; And kissed him .
40_MAT_26_50 And Jesus said unto him , friend , Wherefore art thou come ? Then came they , And laid hands on Jesus , And took him .
40_MAT_26_51 And , behold , one of them which were with Jesus stretched out [ his ] hand , And drew his sword , And struck A servant of the high priest's , And smote off his ear .
40_MAT_26_52 Then said Jesus unto him , put up again thy sword into his place : for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword .
40_MAT_26_53 thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father , And he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels ?
40_MAT_26_54 but how Then shall the scriptures be fulfilled , that thus it must be ?
40_MAT_26_55 in that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes , are ye come out as against A thief with swords And staves for to take me ? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple , And ye laid no hold on me .
40_MAT_26_56 but all this was done , that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled . Then all the disciples forsook him , And fled .
40_MAT_26_57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [ him ] away to Caiaphas the high priest , where the scribes And the elders were assembled .
40_MAT_26_58 but Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace , And went in , And sat with the servants , to see the end .
40_MAT_26_59 now the chief priests , And elders , And all the council , sought false witness against Jesus , to put him to death ;
40_MAT_26_60 but found none : yea , though Many false witnesses came , [ yet ] found they none . at the last came two false witnesses ,
40_MAT_26_61 And said , this [ fellow ] said , I am able to destroy the temple of God , And to build it in three days .
40_MAT_26_62 And the high priest arose , And said unto him , answerest thou nothing ? what [ Is it which ] These witness against thee ?
40_MAT_26_63 but Jesus held his peace . And the high priest answered And said unto him , I adjure thee by the living God , that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ , the son of God .
40_MAT_26_64 Jesus saith unto him , thou hast said : Nevertheless I say unto you , Hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power , And coming in the clouds of heaven .
40_MAT_26_65 Then the high priest rent his clothes , saying , he hath spoken blasphemy ; what further need have we of witnesses ? behold , now ye have heard his blasphemy .
40_MAT_26_66 what think ye ? they answered And said , he Is guilty of death .
40_MAT_26_67 Then did they spit in his face , And buffeted him ; And others smote [ him ] with the palms of their hands ,
40_MAT_26_68 saying , prophesy unto us , thou Christ , who Is he that smote thee ?
40_MAT_26_69 now Peter sat without in the palace : And A damsel came unto him , saying , thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee .
40_MAT_26_70 but he denied before [ them ] all , saying , I know not what thou sayest .
40_MAT_26_71 And when he was gone out into the porch , another [ maid ] saw him , And said unto them that were there , this [ fellow ] was also with Jesus of Nazareth .
40_MAT_26_72 And again he denied with an oath , I do not know the man .
40_MAT_26_73 And after A while came unto [ him ] they that stood by , And said to Peter , surely thou also art [ one ] of them ; for thy speech bewrayeth thee .
40_MAT_26_74 Then began he to curse And to swear , [ saying ] , I know not the man . And immediately the cock crew .
40_MAT_26_75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus , which said unto him , before the cock crow , thou shalt deny me thrice . And he went out , And wept bitterly .
