Matthew 26
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all
these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the
palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by
subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be
an uproar among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of
Simon the leper,
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster
box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his
head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had
indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much,
and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good
work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye
have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my
body, she did it for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached in the whole world, there shall
also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a
memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot,
went unto the chief priests,
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I
will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with
him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray
him.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread
the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where
wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the
passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and
say unto 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 appointed them;
and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto
you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every
one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand
with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but
woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!
it had been good for that man if he had not been
born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it
to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink
it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into
the mount of Olives.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be
offended because of me this night: for it is written,
I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock
shall be scattered abroad.
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you
into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men
shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never
be offended.
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with
thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said
all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto 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.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch
with me.
39 And he went a little further, 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 unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
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 He went away again the second time, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away
from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their
eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the
hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into
the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that
doth betray me.
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 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him
fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail,
master; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art
thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus,
and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and
struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off
his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword
into his place: for all they that take the sword
shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more than twelve
legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes,
Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and
staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching
in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might 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 afar off unto the high
priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the
servants, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put
him to death;
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses
came, yet found they none. At the last came two false
witnesses,
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy
the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee?
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest
answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the
living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the
Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless
I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye 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, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is
guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he
that smote thee?
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel
came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of
Galilee.
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another
maid saw him, and said unto them that were there,
This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know
the man.
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood
by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of
them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I
know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said
unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
