¹ And the Feast of Unleavened Bread , being called Passover, drew near.

² And the chief priests and the scribes sought how to destroy Him; for they feared the people.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, the one having been called Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve.

⁴ And going, he talked with the chief priests and the commanders as to how he might betray Him.

⁵ And they exulted, and they agreed to give him silver.

⁶ And he fully consented and sought opportunity to betray Him to them, away from the crowd.

⁷ And the day of the Unleavened Bread came, on which the passover must be killed.

⁸ And He sent Peter and John, saying, Going, prepare for us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said to Him, Where do You desire that we prepare?

¹⁰ And He said to them, Behold, you going into the city, you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he goes in.

¹¹ And you will say to the housemaster of that house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room where I may eat the passover with My disciples?

¹² And that one will show you a large upper room which he has spread. Prepare there.

¹³ And going, they found as He had told them, and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour came, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him.

¹⁵ And He said to them, With desire I desired to eat this passover with you before My suffering.

¹⁶ For I say to you that never in any way I will eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And taking a cup, giving thanks, He said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say to you that in no way will I drink from the produce of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.

¹⁹ And taking a loaf, giving thanks, He broke, and gave to them, saying, This is My body being given for you. Do this for My remembrance.

²⁰ And in the same way the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you.

²¹ But behold the hand of My betrayer on the table with Me!

²² And, indeed, the Son of man goes according as was determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!

²³ And they began to examine themselves who then it may be of them, the one being about to do this.

²⁴ And there was also a dispute among them, who of them seems to be greater.

²⁵ And He said to them, The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those exercising authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But you be not so, but the greater among you, let him be as the lesser; and the one governing as the one serving.

²⁷ For who is greater, the one serving, or the one reclining? Is it not the one reclining? But I am in your midst as One serving.

²⁸ But you are those continuing with Me in My temptation.

²⁹ And I appoint a kingdom to you, as My Father appointed to Me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom; and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold! Satan asked for you, to sift you as wheat;

³² but I entreated concerning you, that your faith might not fail. And when you have turned back, confirm your brothers.

³³ And he said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go both to prison and to death with You.

³⁴ And He said, Peter, I say to you, a cock will not crow today before you will deny knowing Me three times.

³⁵ And He said to them, When I sent you without a purse, or a wallet, or sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Then He said to them, But now, the one having a purse, let him take it ; likewise also a wallet. And the one not having, let him sell his garment, and let him buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you that this that has been written must yet be fulfilled in Me: "And He was numbered with the lawless." Isa. 53:12 For the things concerning Me also have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And He said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And going out, according to His custom, He went to the Mount of Olives; and His disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰ And having come on the place, He said to them, Pray you will not enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And He was withdrawn from them, about a stone's throw. And placing the knees, He prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if You will, take away this cup from Me; but let not My will be done, but Your will .

⁴³ And an angel from Heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony, He prayed more intently. And His sweat became as drops of blood falling down onto the earth.

⁴⁵ And rising up from the prayer, coming to His disciples, He found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁶ And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Rising up, pray that you do not enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ And as He was yet speaking, behold, a crowd! And the one called Judas, one of the Twelve, came in front of them and drew near to Jesus in order to kiss Him.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And those around Him seeing that about to occur, they said to Him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

⁵⁰ And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ And answering, Jesus said, Allow it until this. And touching his ear, He healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to those coming upon Him, chief priests, and commanders of the temple, and elders, Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?

⁵³ When I was with you day by day in the temple, you did not stretch out your hand on Me. But this is your hour and the authority of the darkness.

⁵⁴ And laying hold of Him, they led Him away and led Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

⁵⁵ And lighting a fire in the middle of the court, and they sitting down, Peter sat in their midst.

⁵⁶ And a certain slave woman seeing him sitting near the light, and looking intently at him, she said, And this one was with him.

⁵⁷ But he denied Him, saying, Woman, I do not know Him.

⁵⁸ And after a while, another seeing him said, You also are of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

⁵⁹ And about an hour intervening, a certain other one boldly charged, saying, Truly this one also was with him, for he also is a Galilean.

⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what you say. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.

⁶¹ And turning, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He told him, Before a cock would crow, you will deny Me three times.

⁶² And going outside, Peter wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men who were holding Jesus mocked Him, beating Him .
