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
