¹ And it was doon, whanne Jhesus hadde endid alle these wordis, he seide to hise disciplis,

² Ye witen, that aftir twei daies pask schal be maad, and mannus sone schal be bitakun to be crucified.

³ Than the princes of prestis and the elder men of the puple were gaderid in to the halle of the prince of prestis, that was seid Cayfas,

⁴ and maden a counsel to holde Jhesu with gile, and sle him;

⁵ but thei seiden, Not in the haliday, lest perauenture noyse were maad in the puple.

⁶ And whanne Jhesus was in Betanye, in the hous of Symount leprous,

⁷ a womman that hadde a box of alabastre of precious oynement, cam to hym, and schedde out on the heed of hym restynge.

⁸ And disciplis seynge hadden dedeyn, and seiden, Wherto this loss? for it myyte be seld for myche,

⁹ and be youun to pore men.

¹⁰ But Jhesus knewe, and seide to hem, What ben ye heuy to this womman? for sche hath wrouyt in me a good werk.

¹¹ For ye schulen euere haue pore men with you, but ye schulen not algatis haue me.

¹² This womman sendynge this oynement in to my bodi, dide to birie me.

¹³ Treuli Y seie to you, where euer this gospel schal be prechid in al the world, it schal be seid, that sche dide this, in mynde of hym.

¹⁴ Thanne oon of the twelue, that was clepid Judas Scarioth, wente forth to the princis of prestis,

¹⁵ and seide to hem, What wolen ye yyue to me, and Y schal bitake hym to you? And thei ordeyneden to hym thretti pans of siluer.

¹⁶ And fro that tyme he souyte oportunyte, to bitraye hym.

¹⁷ And in the firste dai of therf looues the disciplis camen to Jhesu, and seiden, Where wolt thou we make redi to thee, to ete paske?

¹⁸ Jhesus seide, Go ye into the citee to `sum man, and seie to hym, The maistir seith, My tyme is nyy; at thee Y make paske with my disciplis.

¹⁹ And the disciplis diden, as Jhesus comaundide to hem; and thei maden the paske redi.

²⁰ And whanne euentid was come, he sat to mete with hise twelue disciplis.

²¹ And he seide to hem, as thei eten, Treuli Y seie to you, that oon of you schal bitraye me.

²² And thei ful sori bigunnen ech bi hym silf to seie, Lord, whether `Y am?

²³ And he answeride, and seide, He that puttith with me his hoond in the plater, schal bitraye me.

²⁴ Forsothe mannus sone goith, as it is writun of hym; but wo to that man, bi whom mannus sone schal be bitrayed; it were good to hym, if that man hadde not be borun.

²⁵ But Judas that bitraiede hym, answeride, seiynge, Maister, whether `Y am? Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast seid.

²⁶ And while thei soupeden, Jhesus took breed, and blesside, and brak, and yaf to hise disciplis, and seide, Take ye, and ete; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took the cuppe, and dide thankyngis, and yaf to hem,

²⁸ and seide, Drynke ye alle herof; this is my blood of the newe testament, which schal be sched for many, in to remissioun of synnes.

²⁹ And Y seie to you, Y schal not drynke fro this tyme, of this fruyt of the vyne, in to that dai whanne Y schal drynke it newe with you, in the kyngdom of my fadir.

³⁰ And whanne the ympne was seid, thei wenten out in to the mount of Olyuete.

³¹ Thanne Jhesus seide to hem, Alle ye schulen suffre sclaundre in me, in this niyt; for it is writun, Y schal smyte the scheeperde, and the scheep of the flok schulen be scaterid.

³² But aftir that Y schal rise ayen, Y schal go bifore you in to Galilee.

³³ Petre answeride, and seide to hym, Thouy alle schulen be sclaundrid in thee, Y schal neuer be sclaundrid.

³⁴ Jhesus seide to him, Treuli Y seie to thee, for in this nyyt bifor the cok crowe, thries thou schalt denye me.

³⁵ Peter seide to him, Yhe, thouy it bihoue that Y die with thee, Y schal not denye thee. Also alle the disciplis seiden.

³⁶ Thanne Jhesus cam with hem in to a toun, that is seid Jessamanye. And he seide to his disciplis, Sitte ye here, the while Y go thider, and preye.

³⁷ And whanne he hadde take Peter, and twei sones of Zebedee, he bigan to be heuy and sori.

³⁸ Thanne he seide to hem, My soule is soreuful to the deeth; abide ye here, and wake ye with me.

³⁹ And he yede forth a litil, and felde doun on his face, preiynge, and seiynge, My fader, if it is possible, passe this cuppe fro me; netheles not as Y wole, but as thou wolt.

⁴⁰ And he cam to his disciplis, and foond hem slepynge. And he seide to Petir, So, whethir ye myyten not oon our wake with me?

⁴¹ Wake ye, and preye ye, that ye entre not in to temptacioun; for the spirit is redi, but the fleisch is sijk.

⁴² Eft the secounde tyme he wente, and preyede, seiynge, My fadir, if this cuppe may not passe, but Y drynke hym, thi wille be doon.

⁴³ And eftsoone he cam, and foond hem slepynge; for her iyen weren heuyed.

⁴⁴ And he lefte hem, and wente eftsoone, and preiede the thridde tyme, and seide the same word.

⁴⁵ Thanne he cam to his disciplis, and seide to hem, Slepe ye now, and reste ye; loo! the our hath neiyed, and mannus sone schal be takun in to the hondis of synneris;

⁴⁶ rise ye, go we; loo! he that schal take me, is nyy.

⁴⁷ Yit the while he spak, lo! Judas, oon of the twelue, cam, and with hym a greet cumpeny, with swerdis and battis, sent fro the princis of prestis, and fro the eldre men of the puple.

⁴⁸ And he that bitraiede hym, yaf to hem a tokene, and seide, Whom euer Y schal kisse, he it is; holde ye hym.

⁴⁹ And anoon he cam to Jhesu, and seid, Haile, maister;

⁵⁰ and he kisside hym. And Jhesus seide to hym, Freend, wherto art thou comun? Thanne thei camen niy, and leiden hoondis on Jhesu, and helden hym.

⁵¹ And lo! oon of hem that weren with Jhesu, streiyte out his hoond, and drouy out his swerd; and he smoot the seruaunt of the prince of prestis, and kitte of his ere.

⁵² Thanne Jhesus seide to hym, Turne thi swerd in to his place; for alle that taken swerd, schulen perische bi swerd.

⁵³ Whether gessist thou, that Y may not preie my fadir, and he schal yyue to me now mo than twelue legiouns of aungels?

⁵⁴ Hou thanne schulen the scriptures be fulfilled? for so it bihoueth to be doon.

⁵⁵ In that our Jhesus seide to the puple, As to a theef ye han gon out, with swerdis and battis, to take me; dai bi dai Y sat among you, and tauyt in the temple, and ye helden me not.

⁵⁶ But al this thing was don, that the scripturis of profetis schulden be fulfillid. Thanne alle the disciplis fledden, and leften hym.

⁵⁷ And thei helden Jhesu, and ledden hym to Cayfas, the prince of prestis, where the scribis and the Farisees, and the eldre men of the puple weren comun togidere.

⁵⁸ But Petir swede him afer, in to the halle of the prince of prestis; and he wente in, and sat with the seruauntis, to se the ende.

⁵⁹ And the prince of prestis, and al the counsel souyten fals witnessing ayens Jhesu, that thei schulden take hym to deeth;
