1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

And they said unto Him, Where wouldst thou have us prepare it?
10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
And He said unto them, Behold, when ye are come into the city, there shall meet you a man, carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he entreth:
11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
and say to the master of the house, Our Master inquireth by us, Where is the room, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
And he will shew you a large upper room set out; there make it ready.

14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

15 He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”
and the Son of man is going indeed as was determined; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed.
23 They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do it.
24 A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
And there was also a dispute among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest:
25 He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’
but He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority are called benefactors.
26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But ye shall not do so: but let the greatest among you be as the younger; and he that presides as he that serveth.
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as one that serveth.
28 “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Ye have continued with me in my temptations;
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
and I appoint you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me:
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you my disciples, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
And he said unto Him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.
34 He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
But He replied, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.
35 He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
And He said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, or bag, or shoes, did ye want any thing? and they said, Nothing.
36 Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
Then said He unto them, But now let him, that hath a purse, take it, and his bag likewise; and let him that has no sword, sell his garment and buy one:
37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”
for I tell you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And He was numbered with transgressors," for the things foretold concerning me are near at an end.
38 They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

40 When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
And when He was at the place, He said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
And when He was withdrawn from them about a stone's-cast, He kneeled down and prayed saying,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
Father, if thou art willing take away this cup from me---nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.
43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
And while He was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, came before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss Him:
48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
and Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

And one of them smote the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear:
51 But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
but Jesus said, Suffer ye thus far; and He touched his ear and healed him.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Then said Jesus to the chief priests, and officers of the temple, and elders, that were come to Him, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs?
53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
When I was day after day with you in the temple, ye did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and sat down together, Peter also sat down among them:
56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”
and a servant-maid seeing him as he sat by the fire, and looking hard at him, said, This fellow was also with Him:
57 He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”
But he denied Him, saying, Woman, I do not know Him.
58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
And after a little while another person seeing him said, And thou art one of them: but Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”
And about an hour after, another confidently affirmed saying, In truth this fellow also was with Him; for he is a Galilean too: but Peter answered,
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Man, I know not what thou sayst. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.
61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”
And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter called to mind the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, Before the cock crow thou wilt deny me thrice.
62 He went out, and wept bitterly.
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.

And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and chief-priests, and scribes, assembled together, and ordered Him up into their council:
67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,
and said to Him, Art thou the Messiah? tell us. And He said unto them, If I should tell you, ye would not believe:
68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.
and if I should put any question to you, ye would not answer me, nor discharge me.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
But hereafter shall the Son of man be seated on the right hand of the power of God.
70 They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God?
71 They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
And He said unto them, I am. And they said, What need have we of any farther evidence? when we ourselves have it from his own mouth?
