1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Him to death, for they feared the people.
3Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve. 4He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver Him to them. 5They were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
7The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed. 8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”
10He 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. 11Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
13They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
14When the hour had come, He sat down with the twelve apostles. 15He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 16for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.” 17He received a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves, 18for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”
19He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you. Do this in memory of Me.” 20Likewise, He took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you. 21But behold, the hand of him who betrays Me is with Me on the table. 22The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom He is betrayed!”
23They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.
24A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 25He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26But 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. 27For 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.
28“But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. 29I confer on you a kingdom, even as My Father conferred on Me, 30that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat, 32but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
33He said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”
34He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know Me three times.”
35He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?”
They said, “Nothing.”
36Then 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. 37For 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.”
38They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.”
He said to them, “That is enough.”
39He came out and went, as His custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed Him. 40When He was at the place, He said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”
41He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
43An angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44Being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
45When He rose up from His prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
47While 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. 48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “Let Me at least do this”—and He touched his ear and healed him. 52Jesus 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? 53When 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.”
54They seized Him and led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance. 55When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with Him.”
57He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know Him.”
58After a little while someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them!”
But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”
59After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean!”
60But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61The 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.” 62He went out, and wept bitterly.
63The men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat Him. 64Having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?” 65They spoke many other things against Him, insulting Him.
66As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away into their council, saying, 67“If You are the Christ, tell us.”
But He said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe, 68and if I ask, you will in no way answer Me or let Me go. 69From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
70They all said, “Are You then the Son of God?”
He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”
71They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from His own mouth!”
1Appropinquabat autem dies festus azymorum, qui dicitur Pascha: 2et quærebant principes sacerdotum, et scribæ, quomodo Jesum interficerent: timebant vero plebem. 3Intravit autem Satanas in Judam, qui cognominabatur Iscariotes, unum de duodecim: 4et abiit, et locutus est cum principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, quemadmodum illum traderet eis. 5Et gavisi sunt, et pacti sunt pecuniam illi dare. 6Et spopondit, et quærebat opportunitatem ut traderet illum sine turbis. 7Venit autem dies azymorum, in qua necesse erat occidi pascha. 8Et misit Petrum et Joannem, dicens: Euntes parate nobis pascha, ut manducemus. 9At illi dixerunt: Ubi vis paremus? 10Et dixit ad eos: Ecce introëuntibus vobis in civitatem occurret vobis homo quidam amphoram aquæ portans: sequimini eum in domum, in quam intrat, 11et dicetis patrifamilias domus: Dicit tibi Magister: Ubi est diversorium, ubi pascha cum discipulis meis manducem? 12Et ipse ostendet vobis cœnaculum magnum stratum, et ibi parate. 13Euntes autem invenerunt sicut dixit illis, et paraverunt pascha. 14Et cum facta esset hora, discubuit, et duodecim apostoli cum eo. 15Et ait illis: Desiderio desideravi hoc pascha manducare vobiscum, antequam patiar. 16Dico enim vobis, quia ex hoc non manducabo illud, donec impleatur in regno Dei. 17Et accepto calice gratias egit, et dixit: Accipite, et dividite inter vos. 18Dico enim vobis quod non bibam de generatione vitis donec regnum Dei veniat. 19Et accepto pane gratias egit, et fregit, et dedit eis, dicens: Hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis datur: hoc facite in meam commemorationem. 20Similiter et calicem, postquam cœnavit, dicens: Hic est calix novum testamentum in sanguine meo, qui pro vobis fundetur. 21Verumtamen ecce manus tradentis me, mecum est in mensa. 22Et quidem Filius hominis, secundum quod definitum est, vadit: verumtamen væ homini illi per quem tradetur. 23Et ipsi cœperunt quærere inter se quis esset ex eis qui hoc facturus esset. 24Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major. 25Dixit autem eis: Reges gentium dominantur eorum: et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur. 26Vos autem non sic: sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor: et qui præcessor est, sicut ministrator. 27Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat: 28vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis. 29Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum, 30ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israël. 31Ait autem Dominus: Simon, Simon, ecce Satanas expetivit vos ut cribraret sicut triticum: 32ego autem rogavi pro te ut non deficiat fides tua: et tu aliquando conversus, confirma fratres tuos. 33Qui dixit ei: Domine, tecum paratus sum et in carcerem et in mortem ire. 34At ille dixit: Dico tibi, Petre, non cantabit hodie gallus, donec ter abneges nosse me. Et dixit eis: 35Quando misi vos sine sacculo, et pera, et calceamentis, numquid aliquid defuit vobis? 36At illi dixerunt: Nihil. Dixit ergo eis: Sed nunc qui habet sacculum, tollat; similiter et peram: et qui non habet, vendat tunicam suam et emat gladium. 37Dico enim vobis, quoniam adhuc hoc quod scriptum est, oportet impleri in me: Et cum iniquis deputatus est. Etenim ea quæ sunt de me finem habent. 38At illi dixerunt: Domine, ecce duo gladii hic. At ille dixit eis: Satis est. 39Et egressus ibat secundum consuetudinem in monte Olivarum. Secuti sunt autem illum et discipuli. 40Et cum pervenisset ad locum, dixit illis: Orate ne intretis in tentationem. 41Et ipse avulsus est ab eis quantum jactus est lapidis: et positis genibus orabat, 42dicens: Pater, si vis, transfer calicem istum a me: verumtamen non mea voluntas, sed tua fiat. 43Apparuit autem illi angelus de cælo, confortans eum. Et factus in agonia, prolixius orabat. 44Et factus est sudor ejus sicut guttæ sanguinis decurrentis in terram. 45Et cum surrexisset ab oratione et venisset ad discipulos suos, invenit eos dormientes præ tristitia. 46Et ait illis: Quid dormitis? surgite, orate, ne intretis in tentationem. 47Adhuc eo loquente, ecce turba: et qui vocabatur Judas, unus de duodecim, antecedebat eos, et appropinquavit Jesu ut oscularetur eum. 48Jesus autem dixit illi: Juda, osculo Filium hominis tradis? 49Videntes autem hi qui circa ipsum erant, quod futurum erat, dixerunt ei: Domine, si percutimus in gladio? 50Et percussit unus ex illis servum principis sacerdotum, et amputavit auriculam ejus dexteram. 51Respondens autem Jesus, ait: Sinite usque huc. Et cum tetigisset auriculam ejus, sanavit eum. 52Dixit autem Jesus ad eos qui venerant ad se principes sacerdotum, et magistratus templi, et seniores: Quasi ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus? 53Cum quotidie vobiscum fuerim in templo, non extendistis manus in me: sed hæc est hora vestra, et potestas tenebrarum. 54Comprehendentes autem eum, duxerunt ad domum principis sacerdotum: Petrus vero sequebatur a longe. 55Accenso autem igne in medio atrii et circumsedentibus illis, erat Petrus in medio eorum. 56Quem cum vidisset ancilla quædam sedentem ad lumen, et eum fuisset intuita, dixit: Et hic cum illo erat. 57At ille negavit eum, dicens: Mulier, non novi illum. 58Et post pusillum alius videns eum, dixit: Et tu de illis es. Petrus vero ait: O homo, non sum. 59Et intervallo facto quasi horæ unius, alius quidam affirmabat, dicens: Vere et hic cum illo erat: nam et Galilæus est. 60Et ait Petrus: Homo, nescio quid dicis. Et continuo, adhuc illo loquente, cantavit gallus. 61Et conversus Dominus respexit Petrum, et recordatus est Petrus verbi Domini, sicut dixerat: Quia priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis. 62Et egressus foras Petrus flevit amare. 63Et viri qui tenebant illum, illudebant ei, cædentes. 64Et velaverunt eum, et percutiebant faciem ejus: et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Prophetiza, quis est, qui te percussit? 65Et alia multa blasphemantes dicebant in eum. 66Et ut factus est dies, convenerunt seniores plebis, et principes sacerdotum, et scribæ, et duxerunt illum in concilium suum, dicentes: Si tu es Christus, dic nobis. 67Et ait illis: Si vobis dixero, non credetis mihi: 68si autem et interrogavero, non respondebitis mihi, neque dimittetis. 69Ex hoc autem erit Filius hominis sedens a dextris virtutis Dei. 70Dixerunt autem omnes: Tu ergo es Filius Dei? Qui ait: Vos dicitis, quia ego sum. 71At illi dixerunt: Quid adhuc desideramus testimonium? ipsi enim audivimus de ore ejus.
