¹ And it was done, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples,

² Ye know, that after two days pask shall be made, and man’s Son shall be betaken to be crucified.

³ Then the princes of priests, and the elder men of the people were gathered into the hall of the prince of priests, that was said Caiaphas,

⁴ and made a counsel to hold Jesus with guile, and slay him;

⁵ but they said, Not in the holiday [or in the feast day], lest peradventure noise were made in the people.

⁶ And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,

⁷ a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him, and shedded it out on the head of him resting.

⁸ And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said, Whereto is this loss?

⁹ for it might be sold for much [or this might have been sold for much], and be given to poor men.

¹⁰ But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work [or she hath wrought a good work in me].

¹¹ For ye shall ever[more] have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me.

¹² For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did [for] to bury me.

¹³ Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, that was called Judas Iscariot, went forth [or went] to the princes of priests,

¹⁵ and said to them, What will ye give to me, and I shall betake him to you? And they ordained to him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity, to betray him.

¹⁷ And in the first day of therf loaves the disciples came to Jesus, and said, Where wilt thou [that] we make ready to thee, to eat pask?

¹⁸ Jesus said, Go ye into the city to a man, and say to him, The master saith, My time is nigh; at thee I make pask with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did, as Jesus commanded to them; and they made the pask ready.

²⁰ And when the eventide was come, he sat to [or at the] meat, with his twelve disciples.

²¹ And he said to them, as they ate, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² And they full sorry, [or made sorrowful greatly], began each by himself to say, Lord, whether I am he?

²³ And he answered, and said, He that putteth with me his hand in the platter, shall betray me.

²⁴ Forsooth man’s Son goeth, as it is written of him; but woe to that man, by whom man’s Son shall be betrayed; it were good to him, if that man had not been born.

²⁵ But Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether I am he? Jesus said to him, Thou hast said.

²⁶ And while they supped, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take ye, and eat; this is my body.

²⁷ And he took the cup, and did thankings, and gave to them, and said, Drink ye all thereof;

²⁸ this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many, into remission of sins.

²⁹ And I say to you, I shall not drink from this time, of this fruit of the vine, into that day when I shall drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father.

³⁰ And when the hymn was said, they went out into the mount of Olives.

³¹ Then Jesus said to them, All ye shall suffer cause of stumbling in me, in this night; for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.

³² But after that I shall rise again, I shall go before you into Galilee.

³³ Peter answered, and said to him, Though all [men] shall be caused to stumble in thee, I shall never be caused to stumble.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, for in this night before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.

³⁵ Peter said to him, Yea, though it behooveth that I die with thee, I shall not deny thee. Also all the disciples said.

³⁶ Then Jesus came with them into a town, that is said Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go thither, and pray.

³⁷ And when he had taken Peter, and two sons of Zebedee, he began to be heavy and sorry [or to be sorrowful and heavy in heart].

³⁸ Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful to the death; abide ye here, and wake ye with me.

³⁹ And he went forth a little, and felled down on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, pass this cup from me [or this cup pass from me]; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁰ And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, So, whether ye might not one hour wake with me? [or might ye not one hour wake with me?]

⁴¹ Wake ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation; for the spirit is ready, but the flesh is sick, [or unstable, or unsteadfast].

⁴² Again the second time he went, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass, but I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And again he came, and found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavied.

⁴⁴ And he left them, and went again, and prayed the third time, and said the same word.

⁴⁵ Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep ye now, and rest ye; lo! the hour hath nighed, and man’s Son shall be betaken [or be betrayed] into the hands of sinners;

⁴⁶ rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall take me, is nigh.

⁴⁷ Yet while he spake, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great company, with swords and bats [or staves], sent from the princes of priests, and from the elder men of the people.

⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave to them a token, and said, Whomever I shall kiss, he it is; hold ye him.

⁴⁹ And anon he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master; and he kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came nigh, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.

⁵¹ And lo! one of them that were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew out his sword; and he smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his ear.

⁵² Then Jesus said to him, Turn thy sword into his place; for all that take sword, shall perish by sword.

⁵³ Whether guessest thou, that I may not pray my Father, and he shall give to me now more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled? for so it behooveth to be done.

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the people, As to a thief ye have gone out, with swords and bats [or staves], to take me; day by day I sat among you, and taught in the temple, and ye held me not.

⁵⁶ But all this thing was done, that the scriptures of prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, and left him.

⁵⁷ And they held Jesus, and led him to Caiaphas, the prince of priests, where the scribes and the Pharisees, and the elder men of the people were come together [or where the scribes and the elder men of the people had come together].

⁵⁸ But Peter pursued him afar, into the hall of the prince of priests; and he went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵⁹ And the prince of priests, and all the council sought false witnessing against Jesus, that they should [be] take him to death;

⁶⁰ and they found not, when many false witnesses were come. But at the last, two false witnesses came,

⁶¹ and said, This said, I may destroy the temple of God, and after the third day [or three days] build it again.

⁶² And the prince of priests rose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing to those things, that these witness against thee?

⁶³ But Jesus was still. And the prince of priests said to him, I conjure thee by the living God, that thou say to us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see man’s Son sitting at the right half of the virtue of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the prince of priests rent his clothes, and said, He hath blasphemed; what yet have we need to witnesses? lo! now ye have heard blasphemy;

⁶⁶ what seemeth to you? And they answered, and said, He is guilty of death.

⁶⁷ Then they spat in his face, and smote him with buffets; and others gave strokes with the palm of their hands in[to] his face,

⁶⁸ and said, Thou Christ, declare [or prophesy] to us, who is he that smote thee?

⁶⁹ And Peter sat without in the hall; and a damsel [or an handmaid] came to him, and said, Thou were with Jesus of Galilee.

⁷⁰ And he denied before all [men], and said, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷¹ And when he went out at the gate, another damsel [or handmaid] saw him, and said to them that were there, And this was with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, For I knew not the man.

⁷³ And a little after, they that stood came, and said to Peter, Truly and thou art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And anon the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter bethought on the word of Jesus, that he had said, Before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
