3 Then assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,WBS — Matthew 26:3

4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.WBS — Matthew 26:4

5 But they said, Not on the feast-day, lest there be an uproar among the people.WBS — Matthew 26:5

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,WBS — Matthew 26:6

7 There came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat at table.WBS — Matthew 26:7

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?WBS — Matthew 26:8

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.WBS — Matthew 26:9

10 When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.WBS — Matthew 26:10

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.WBS — Matthew 26:11

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.WBS — Matthew 26:12

13 Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, which this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.WBS — Matthew 26:13

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,WBS — Matthew 26:14

15 And said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.WBS — Matthew 26:15

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.WBS — Matthew 26:16

17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?WBS — Matthew 26:17

18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.WBS — Matthew 26:18

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.WBS — Matthew 26:19

20 Now when the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve.WBS — Matthew 26:20

21 And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me.WBS — Matthew 26:21

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I?WBS — Matthew 26:22

23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.WBS — Matthew 26:23

24 The Son of man goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man, if he had not been born.WBS — Matthew 26:24

25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said.WBS — Matthew 26:25

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.WBS — Matthew 26:26

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;WBS — Matthew 26:27

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.WBS — Matthew 26:28

29 But I say to 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.WBS — Matthew 26:29

30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.WBS — Matthew 26:30

31 Then saith Jesus to 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.WBS — Matthew 26:31

32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.WBS — Matthew 26:32

33 Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.WBS — Matthew 26:33

34 Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that this night, before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.WBS — Matthew 26:34

35 Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.WBS — Matthew 26:35

36 Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.WBS — Matthew 26:36

37 And he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.WBS — Matthew 26:37

38 Then saith he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.WBS — Matthew 26:38

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.WBS — Matthew 26:39

40 And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?WBS — Matthew 26:40

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.WBS — Matthew 26:41

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.WBS — Matthew 26:42

43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.WBS — Matthew 26:43

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.WBS — Matthew 26:44

45 Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to 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.WBS — Matthew 26:45

46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.WBS — Matthew 26:46

47 And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.WBS — Matthew 26:47

48 Now he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.WBS — Matthew 26:48

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail Master; and kissed him.WBS — Matthew 26:49

50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, Why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.WBS — Matthew 26:50

51 And behold, one of them, who were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear.WBS — Matthew 26:51

52 Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword.WBS — Matthew 26:52

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?WBS — Matthew 26:53

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?WBS — Matthew 26:54

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.WBS — Matthew 26:55

56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.WBS — Matthew 26:56

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.WBS — Matthew 26:57

58 But Peter followed him at a distance, to the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.WBS — Matthew 26:58

59 Now the chief priests and elders, and all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, to put him to death;WBS — Matthew 26:59

60 But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,WBS — Matthew 26:60

61 And said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.WBS — Matthew 26:61

62 And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing, what is it which these testify against thee?WBS — Matthew 26:62

63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ the Son of God.WBS — Matthew 26:63

64 Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say to you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.WBS — Matthew 26:64

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.WBS — Matthew 26:65

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.WBS — Matthew 26:66

67 Then they spit in his face, and buffetted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,WBS — Matthew 26:67

68 Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?WBS — Matthew 26:68

69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.WBS — Matthew 26:69

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.WBS — Matthew 26:70

71 And when he had gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.WBS — Matthew 26:71

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.WBS — Matthew 26:72

73 And after a while came to him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee.WBS — Matthew 26:73

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crowed.WBS — Matthew 26:74

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.WBS — Matthew 26:75
