thee to eat the passover?

18 and he said, Go into the city, to such an one, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples:

19 and the disciples did as Jesus had enjoined them; and they prepared the passover.

20 And when evening was come, he sat down with the twelve:

21 and while they eat, he said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me.

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one to say to him, Lord, is it I?

23 and he answered and said, He who dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me:

24 the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but, wo to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been well for that man if he had not been born:

25 and Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said.

26 And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it; and giving it to the disciples, he said, Take, eat; this is my body:

27 and taking a cup, and

John, xvi. 32.

31 Then Jesus saith to them, Ye will all be made to doubt of me, this night: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, Zech. xiii. 7. "and the sheep of the flock "shall be scattered abroad:" 32 but after I am risen, I will c. xxviii. 7. go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter answered and said to him, Though all be made to doubt of thee, I will never be made to doubt:

34 Jesus said to him, Verily I tell thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice:

35 Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee: so likewise said all the disciples.

36 Then Jesus cometh with them to a place called Gethsemane; and saith to the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder:

37 and he took with him

Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy:

ye

38 then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: remain here, and watch with me. 39 And he went forward a little, 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 And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, Could ye not, then, watch with me one hour?

41 watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 Again he went away, a second time, and prayed; saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass from me, unless I drink it, thy will be done!

43 and when he came again, he found them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time; saying again the same words.

45 Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them, Sleep afterward, and take your rest; behold, the hour is at hand when the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of

sinners:

46 arise, let us go forward: John, xviii. 4. behold, he who betrayeth me is at hand.

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 :

48 and he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he; hold him fast:

49 and going up straightway to Jesus, he said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? then they came up, and laid hold on Jesus, and took him.

51 And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear:

52 then said Jesus to him, Put back thy sword into its place; for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword:

53 thinkest thou, that I cannot call to my Father, and he will now send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 but, how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55 At the same time Jesus said to the multitudes, Are ye

come out as against a thief, with swords and staves, to take me? I sat daily in the temple, teaching, and ye laid not hold on me:

56 but all this is done, that the writings of the prophets may be fulfilled: then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 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:

58 but Peter followed him, at a distance, to the high priest's court; and went in, and sat down with the attendants, to see the end.

59 And the chief priests, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

60 and found none, though many false witnesses came forward.

61 But at last came two, who said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it within three days:

62 and the high priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing to that which these testify against thee? but Jesus was silent:

63 and the high priest said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou art the Christ, the Son of God:

64 Jesus saith to him, Thou Mark, xiv. 62. hast said moreover, I now tell you all, Ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, ye have now heard his blasphemy; what think ye? 66 and they answered and said, He is guilty of death. 67 Then did they spit in his face, and strike him with their fists, and others with the palms of their hands,

68 saying, Tell us, thou Christ, Which is he that struck thee? 69 But Peter was sitting without, in the court: and a maid came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee :

70 and he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest:

71 and as he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth:

72 and he denied again with an oath, saying, I know not the man:

73 and after a little while, they that stood by came to Peter and said, Thou also art surely one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee:

74 then he began to curse

3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, was smitten with remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders;

4 saying, I have sinned in betraying innocent blood: and they said, What is it to us? see thou to that:

5 and, casting the pieces of silver into the temple, he deActs, i. 18. parted; and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the Korban, that is, the treasury, because it is the price of blood:

7 and they took counsel, and

bought with them the potter's field, for a burial-place for strangers:

8 wherefore, that field is called Field of blood, to this Acts, i. 19. day:

9 then was fulfilled the word spoken through the prophet, saying, "And I took the thirty Zech. xi. 13. "pieces of silver, the price of "him that was valued, whom "they of the children of Israel "did value;

10 " and gave them for the "potter's field, as the Lord "commanded me."

11 And Jesus was placed before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest:

12 but when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing: 13 then said Pilate to him, Hearest thou not what things they testify against thee?

14 but he answered him not to any thing that was said; so that the governor greatly marvelled.

15 And at that feast, the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whomsoever they would:

16 and they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas : 17 when, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Which will ye that I

release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 18 for he knew that through malice they had delivered him. 19 And while he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just person; for I have suffered many things this day, in a dream, because of him.

20 But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the multitude, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus:

21 the governor, therefore, answered and said to them again, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? and they said, Barabbas :

22 Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? they all say, Let him be crucified :

23 and he said, Why, what evil hath he done? but they cried out the more exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 And Pilate, seeing that he could prevail nothing, but rather that a tumult was made, took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am guiltless of this blood; see ye to it:

25 and all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children!

26 Then he released to them Barabbas and when he had

scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the hall called Pretorium, and gathered to him the whole band: 28 and they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe:

:

29 and they platted a crown of thorns, and put it round his head, and a reed in his right hand and they bent the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! 30 and they spat on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head:

31 and after they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his own raiment, and led him forth to crucify him.

32 And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, by name Simon him they impressed to carry his cross.

33 And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a Skull,

34 they gave him to drink, vinegar mixed with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink it.

35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lots for them:

36 and they sat down, and watched him there.

37 And they set up over his head his accusation written,
