14:1  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.

14:2  But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an 
uproar of the people.

14:3  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.

14:4  And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
 and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

14:5  For it might have been sold for more than three hundred 
pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured 
against her.

14:6  And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she 
hath wrought a good work on me.

14:7  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye 
will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

14:8  She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to 
anoint my body to the burying.

14:9  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.

14:10  And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the 
chief priests, to betray him unto them.

14:11  And when they heard [it], they were glad, and promised to 
give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray 
him.

14:12  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?

14:13  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.

14:14  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?

14:15  And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] 
prepared: there make ready for us.

14:16  And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and 
found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

14:17  And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

14:18  And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say 
unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

14:19  And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one 
by one, [Is] it I? and another [said, Is] it I?

14:20  And he answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the 
twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

14:21  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.

14:22  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.

14:23  And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he 
gave [it] to them: and they all drank of it.

14:24  And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new 
testament, which is shed for many.

14:25  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.

14:26  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the 
mount of Olives.

14:27  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.

14:28  But after that I am risen, I will go before you into 
Galilee.

14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, 
yet [will] not I.

14:30  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.

14:31  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.

14:32  And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and 
he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

14:33  And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and 
began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

14:34  And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto 
death: tarry ye here, and watch.

14:35  And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and 
prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

14:36  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.

14:37  And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto 
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

14:38  Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The 
spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.

14:39  And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same 
words.

14:40  And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for 
their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

14:41  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.

14:42  Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

14:43  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.

14:44  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.

14:45  And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, 
and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

14:46  And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

14:47  And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a 
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

14:48  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, 
as against a thief, with swords and [with] staves to take me?

14:49  I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took 
me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

14:50  And they all forsook him, and fled.

14:51  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:

14:52  And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

14:53  And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him 
were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the 
scribes.

14:54  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.

14:55  And the chief priests and all the council sought for 
witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

14:56  For many bare false witness against him, but their 
witness agreed not together.

14:57  And there arose certain, and bare false witness against 
him, saying,

14:58  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.

14:59  But neither so did their witness agree together.

14:60  And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked 
Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these 
witness against thee?

14:61  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?

14:62  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.

14:63  Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What 
need we any further witnesses?

14:64  Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all 
condemned him to be guilty of death.

14:65  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.

14:66  And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one 
of the maids of the high priest:

14:67  And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon 
him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

14:68  But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I 
what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock 
crew.

14:69  And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that 
stood by, This is [one] of them.

14:70  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].

14:71  But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not 
this man of whom ye speak.

14:72  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.
