26:1 And it was done, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples, 26:2 Ye know, that after two days pask shall be made, and man's Son shall be betaken to be crucified. 26:3 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, 26:4 and made a counsel to hold Jesus with guile, and slay him; [and made a counsel, that they should hold Jesus with guile, and slay him ;] 26:5 but they said, Not in the holiday [soothly they said, Not in the feast day], lest peradventure noise were made in the people. 26:6 And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous, 26:7 a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him [a woman having a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came nigh to him], and shedded it out on the head of him resting. 26:8 And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said [saying], Whereto is this loss? 26:9 for it might be sold for much [for this might have been sold for much], and be given to poor men. 26:10 But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work [she hath wrought a good work in me]. 26:11 For ye shall ever have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me. [For why ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not all-gates have me.] 26:12 For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did [for] to bury me. 26:13 Truly I say to you, where ever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him [it shall be said and that this woman did, into mind of him]. 26:14 Then one of the twelve, that was called Judas Iscariot, went forth to the princes of priests [went to the princes of priests], 26:15 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. 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity [he sought covenability], to betray him. 26:17 And in the first day of therf loaves, the disciples came to Jesus, and said [ a ] , Where wilt thou [that] we make ready to thee, [for] to eat pask? 26:18 [And] 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. 26:19 And the disciples did, as Jesus commanded to them; and they made the pask ready [and they made ready pask]. 26:20 And when the eventide was come, he sat to meat with his twelve disciples. [Forsooth evening made, he sat at the meat with his twelve disciples.] 26:21 And he said to them, as they ate, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. 26:22 And they full sorry began each by himself to say, Lord, whether I am he ? [ b ] 26:23 And he answered, and said, He that putteth with me his hand in the platter, [this] shall betray me. 26:24 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. 26:25 But Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether I am he ? Jesus said to him, Thou hast said. [Forsooth Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether it am I? He said to him, Thou hast said.] 26:26 And while they supped [Forsooth them supping], Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take ye, and eat; this is my body. 26:27 And he took the cup, and did thankings, and gave to them, and said [saying], Drink ye all thereof; 26:28 this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many, into remission of sins. 26:29 And I say to you, I shall not drink from this time, of this fruit of the vine, [till] into that day when I shall drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father. 26:30 And when the hymn was said, they went out into the mount of Olives. 26:31 Then Jesus said to them, All ye shall suffer cause of stumbling in me, in this night [Then Jesus saith to them, All ye shall suffer offence in me, this night]; for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. 26:32 But after that I shall rise again, I shall go before you into Galilee. 26:33 Peter answered, and said to him, Though all [men] shall be caused to stumble in thee, I shall never be caused to stumble. [ c ] 26:34 Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, for in this night before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me. 26:35 Peter said to him, Yea, though it [shall] behoove that I die with thee, I shall not deny thee. Also [and] all the disciples said. 26:36 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. 26:37 And when he had taken Peter, and two sons of Zebedee, he began to be heavy and sorry [he began to be sorrowful and heavy in heart]. 26:38 Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful [till] to the death; abide ye here, and wake ye with me. [Then he saith to them, My soul is sorrowful till to the death; sustain ye, or abide ye , here, and wake ye with me.] 26:39 And he went forth a little, and felled down [fell down] on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, pass this cup from me [praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, this cup pass from me]; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt . 26:40 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 [ d ] ? 26:41 Wake ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation; for the spirit is ready, but the flesh is frail. [ e ] 26:42 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. 26:43 And again he came, and found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavied. 26:44 And he left them, and went again, and prayed the third time, and said the same word. [And them left, he went again, and prayed the third time, the same word saying.] 26:45 Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep ye now, and rest ye; lo! the hour hath approached, and man's Son shall be betaken into the hands of sinners; [ f ] 26:46 rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall take me, is nigh. [rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall betray me, hath nighed.] 26:47 [And] Yet while he spake, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great company, with swords and bats [with swords and staves], sent from the princes of priests, and from the elder men of the people. 26:48 And he that betrayed him, gave to them a token, and said [saying], Whomever I shall kiss, he it is; hold ye him. 26:49 And at once [And anon] he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and he kissed him. 26:50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came nigh, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him. 26:51 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 [ g ] . 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, Turn thy sword into his place; for all that take sword, shall perish by sword. 26:53 Whether guessest thou, that I may not pray my Father, and he shall give to me now more than twelve legions of angels? 26:54 How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled? for so it behooveth to be done. 26:55 In that hour Jesus said to the people, As to a thief ye have gone out, with swords and bats, [for] to take me; day by day I sat among you, and taught in the temple, and ye held me not. [ h ] 26:56 But all this thing was done, that the scriptures of prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, and left him [Then all the disciples fled, him forsaken]. 26:57 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. [And they holding Jesus, led him to Caiaphas, prince of priests, where the scribes and the elder men of the people had come together.] 26:58 But Peter followed him afar, [till] into the hall of the prince of priests; and he went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. 26:59 And the prince of priests, and all the council sought false witnessing against Jesus, that they should take him to death; [Forsooth the princes of priests, and all the council sought false witnessing against Jesus, that they should betake him to death;] 26:60 and they found not, when many false witnesses were come. But at the last, two false witnesses came, 26:61 and said, This said, I may destroy the temple of God, and after the third day build it again [and after three days built it again]. 26:62 And the prince of priests rose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing to those things, that these witness against thee [which these witness against thee]? 26:63 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 [that thou say to us, if thou be Christ, the Son of God]. 26:64 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 [nevertheless, I say to you, from henceforth, ye shall see man's Son sitting at the right half of God's virtue], and coming in the clouds of heaven. 26:65 Then the prince of priests rent his clothes, and said, He hath blasphemed; what yet have we need to witnesses [Then the prince of priests rent his clothes, saying, He hath blasphemed; what yet need have we to witnesses]? lo! now ye have heard blasphemy; 26:66 what seemeth to you? And they answered, and said, He is guilty of death. 26:67 Then they spat in his face, and smote him with buffets; and others gave strokes with the palm of their hands in [into] his face, 26:68 and said, Thou Christ, declare to us, who is he that smote thee? [saying, Thou Christ, prophesy to us, who is he that smote thee?] 26:69 And Peter sat without in the hall; and a damsel came to him, and said [ i ] , [And] Thou were with Jesus of Galilee. 26:70 And he denied before all [men], and said [saying], I know not what thou sayest. 26:71 And when he went out at the gate, another damsel saw him [ j ] , and said to them that were there, And this was with Jesus of Nazareth. 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, For I knew not the man. 26:73 And a little after [And after a little], they that stood came, and said to Peter, Truly and thou art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known. 26:74 Then he began to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And at once [And anon] the cock crew. 26:75 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.
