1 Now after two days was the Passover and the unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scholars sought how, having take him with trickery, they might kill him,

2 but they said, Not during the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.

3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat relaxing, a woman came having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure spikenard, very valuable. And having broken the alabaster cruse, she poured it on his head.

4 And some were indignant within themselves, saying, Why has this waste of the ointment happened?

5 For this could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they grumbled at her.

6 But Jesus said, Leave her be. Why do ye cause troubles for her? She performed a good work on me.

7 For ye always have the poor with you, and whenever ye may desire ye can do them well, but ye do not always have me.

8 She applied what she had to anoint my body. She did it beforehand for the burial.

9 And truly I say to you, wherever this good-news may be preached in the whole world, also what she did will be told for a memorial of her.

10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might betray him to them.

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might betray him conveniently.

12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover, his disciples say to him, Where do thou want, after going, we should prepare that thou may eat the Passover?

13 And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.

14 And wherever he may enter, say ye to the house-ruler, The teacher says, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?

15 And he himself will show you a large upper room spread out ready. Prepare ye for us there.

16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found just as he had said to them. And they prepared the Passover.

17 And having become evening he comes with the twelve.

18 And as they were relaxing and eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, that one of you eating with me will betray me.

19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Not I? and another, Not I?

20 And having answered, he said to them, It is one of the twelve dipping with me in the dish.

21 The Son of man indeed goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It was good for him if that man was not born.

22 And as they were eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, he broke in pieces, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.

23 And after taking the cup, having expressed thanks, he gave to them, and they all drank from it.

24 And he said to them, This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 Truly I say to you, that I will no more drink of the fruit of the grapevine, until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.

26 And when they sang a hymn, they went out onto the mount of Olives.

27 And Jesus says to them, All ye will be caused to stumble by me this night, because it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.

28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

29 But Peter said to him, Even if all will be caused to stumble, yet not I.

30 And Jesus says to him, Truly I say to thee, that thou today, in this night, before a cock sounds twice, will deny me thrice.

31 But he spoke more extreme, If I must die with thee, I will, no, not deny thee. And they all spoke the same way also.

32 And they come to a place the name of which was Gethsemane. And he says to his disciples, Sit ye here until I pray.

33 And he takes Peter and James and John with him, and began to be greatly disturbed, and very distressed.

34 And he says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain ye here, and watch.

35 And having gone forward a little, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee. Remove this cup from me, but not what I want, but what thou want.

37 And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, Do thou sleep? Could thou not watch one hour?

38 Watch ye and pray that ye may not enter into temptation. Truly, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39 And again having departed, he prayed, having said the same statement.

40 And having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down, and they knew not what they should reply to him.

41 And he comes the third time, and says to them, Sleep the remaining, and take your rest...It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me has come near.

43 And straightaway, while he still spoke, Judas, being one of the twelve, comes, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders.

44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him, and lead away securely.

45 And when he came, straightaway having approached him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him much.

46 And they threw their hands on him, and seized him.

47 And a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to arrest me?

49 I was daily near you, teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me--but that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

50 And having forsook him, they all fled.

51 And a certain one young man followed with him, having been wrapped naked in a linen cloth. And the young men seized him,

52 but having left behind the linen cloth, he fled from them naked.

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scholars assemble with him.

54 And Peter followed him from a distance, as far as inside the courtyard of the high priest, and was sitting with the subordinates, and warming himself near the light.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and did not find it.

56 For many testified falsely against him, and their testimonies were not consistent.

57 And some men having stood up, testified falsely against him, saying,

58 We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and by three days I will build another not made with hands.

59 And not even this way was their testimony consistent.

60 And the high priest having stood up in the midst, he demanded Jesus, saying, Thou answer nothing? What is it these men testify against thee?

61 But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest demanded him, and says to him, Are thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.

63 And the high priest having torn his clothes, he says, What further need have we of witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy. What does it seem to you? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with a fist, and to say to him, Prophesy. And the subordinates were throwing him with slaps.

66 And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes.

67 And having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, Thou also were with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, nor understand what thou say. And he went outside onto the porch, and a cock sounded.

69 And the servant girl having seen him, she began again to say to those who stood by, This man is from them.

70 But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Surely thou are from them, for thou are a Galilean, and thy accent is similar.

71 But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom ye speak.

72 And the second time a cock sounded. And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds twice, thou will deny me thrice. And having broke down, he wept.

1 After two dayes folowed ester and the dayes of swete breed. And the hye prestes and the Scrybes sought meanes how they myght take hym by crafte and put him to deeth.

2 But they sayde: not in the feast daye leest eny busynes aryse amonge the people.

3 When he was in Bethania in the housse of Simon the leper even as he sate at meate ther came a woma hauynge an alablaster boxe of oyntment called narde that was pure and costly: and she brake the boxe and powred it on is heed.

4 And ther were some that were not content in them selves and sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment?

5 For it myght have bene soolde for more then thre hundred pens and bene geve vnto the poore. And they grudged agaynste hir.

6 And Iesus sayde: let hir be in reest why trouble ye hir? She hath done a good worke on me.

7 For ye shall have poore with you all wayes: and when soever ye will ye maye do them good: but me ye shall not have alwayes.

8 She hath done that she coulde: she came a fore honde to anoynt my boddy to his buryinge warde.

9 Verely I saye vnto you: wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached thorowout the whole worlde: thys also that she hath done shalbe rehearsed in remembraunce of her.

10 And Iudas Iscarioth one of the twelve went awaye vnto the hye prestes to betraye hym vnto them.

11 When they herde that they were gladde and promised yt they wolde geve him money. And he sought howe he myght conveniently betraye him.

12 And the fyrste daye of swete breed when men offer ye pascall lambe his disciples sayd vnto him: where wilt thou that we goo and prepare that thou mayst eate the ester lambe?

13 And he sent forth two of his disciples and sayde vnto them: Goo ye into the cyte and ther shall a man mete you beringe a pitcher of water folowe him.

14 And whither soever he goeth in saye ye to ye good man of ye housse: the master axeth where is the geest chambre where I shall eate ye ester lambe with my disciples.

15 And he will shewe you a greate parlour paved and prepared: there make ready for vs.

16 And his disciples went forth and came to the cyte and founde as he had sayd vnto them: and made ready the ester lambe.

17 And at even he came with the .xii.

18 And as they sate at borde and ate Iesus sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: that one of you shall betraye me which eateth with me.

19 And they begane to morne and to saye to him one by one: ys it I? And a nother sayde: ys it I?

20 He answered and sayde vnto them: It ys one of the .xii. and the same deppeth with me in the platter.

21 The sonne of man goeth as it ys written of him: but woo be to that man by whome the sonne of man is betrayed. Good were it for him if that man had never bene borne.

22 And as they ate Iesus toke breede blessed and brake and gave to them and sayde: Take eate this ys my body.

23 And he toke the cup gave thankes and gave it to them and they all dranke of it.

24 And he sayde vnto them: This is my bloude of the new testament which is sheed for many.

25 Verely I saye vnto you: I will drinke no moore of this frute of the vyne vntyll that daye that I drinke it new in the kyngdome of God.

26 And when they had sayd grace they went out to mount Olyvete.

27 And Iesus sayde vnto them: All ye shalbe offended thorow me this nyght. For it is wrytte: I will smyte ye shepeherd and the shepe shalbe scattered.

28 But after that I am rysen agayne I will goo into Galile before you.

29 Peter sayde vnto him: And though all men shuld be offended yet wolde not I.

30 And Iesus sayd vnto him: Verely I saye vnto ye this daye even in this nyght before ye cocke crowe twyse thou shalt denye me thryse.

31 And he spake boldlyer: no yf I shulde dye wt the I will not deny the. Lyke wyse also sayd they all.

32 And they came into a place named Gethsemani. And he sayde to his disciples: Syt ye here whyll I goo aparte and praye.

33 And he toke with him Peter Iames and Iohn and he began to waxe abasshed and to be in an agonye

34 and sayde vnto the: My soule is very hevy even vnto the deeth tary here and watche.

35 And he went forth a lytle and fell doune on ye grounde and prayed: that yf it were possible the houre myght passe from him.

36 And he sayd: Abba father all thinges are possible vnto the take awaye this cup from me. Neverthelesse not that I will but that thou wilt be done.

37 And he cam and founde the slepinge and sayd to Peter: Simon slepest thou? Couldest not thou watche with me one houre?

38 watche ye and praye leest ye entre into temptacion: ye sprete is redy but ye flessh is weeke.

39 And agayne he went awaye and prayde and spake ye same wordes.

40 And he returned and founde them a slepe agayne for their eyes were hevy: nether wist they what to answere him.

41 And he cam the thyrde tyme and sayd vnto the: slepe hens forth and take youre ease it is ynough. The houre is come beholde ye sonne of man shalbe delyvered into ye hondes of synners.

42 Ryse vp let vs goo. Loo he that betrayeth me is at hande.

43 And immediatly whyll he yet spake came Iudas one of the twelve and with him a greate nomber of people with sweardes and staves from the hye prestes and scribes and elders.

44 And he that betrayed him had geven them a generall toke sayinge: whosoever I do kisse he it is: take him and leade him awaye warely.

45 And assone as he was come he went streyght waye to him and sayd vnto him: master master and kissed him.

46 And they layde their hondes on him and toke him.

47 And one of them that stode by drue out a swearde and smote a servaunt of the hye preste and cut of his eare.

48 And Iesus answered and sayd vnto the: ye be come out as vnto a thefe wt sweardes and with staves for to take me.

49 I was dayly with you in ye temple teachinge and ye toke me not: but yt the scriptures shuld be fulfilled.

50 And they all forsoke him and ranne awaye.

51 And ther folowed him a certeyne yonge man cloothed in lynnen apon ye bare and the yongemen caught him

52 and he lefte his lynnen and fleed from them naked.

53 And they leed Iesus awaye to ye hyest preste of all and to him came all the hye prestes and the elders and the scribes.

54 And Peter folowed him a greate waye of even into the pallys of the hye preste and sat with the servauntes and warmed him sylfe at the fyre.

55 And the hye prestes and all ye counsell sought for witnes agaynste Iesu to put him to death and founde noone.

56 Yet many bare falce witnes agaynste him but their witnes aggreed not to geder.

57 And ther aroose certayne and brought falce witnes agaynste him sayinge.

58 We herde him saye: I will destroye this temple made with hondes and with in thre dayes I will bylde another made with out hondes.

59 But their witnes agreed not to geder.

60 And the hyeste preste stode up amongest them and axed Iesus sayinge: answerest thou nothinge? How is it that these beare witnes agaynst the?

61 And he helde his peace and answered noothinge. Agayne the hyeste Preste axed him and sayde vnto him: Arte thou Christ the sonne of the blessed?

62 And Iesus sayde: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man syt on the ryght honde of power and come in the cloudes of heven.

63 Then the hyest preste rent his cloothes and sayd: what nede we eny further of witnes?

64 Ye have herde the blasphemy what thinke ye? And they all gave sentence yt he was worthy of deeth.

65 And some begane to spit at him and to cover his face and to bete him with fistes and to saye vnto him arede vnto vs. And the servauntes boffeted him on the face.

66 And as Peter was beneeth in ye pallys ther came one of ye weches of ye hyest preste:

67 and whe she saw Petre warmynge him sylfe she loked on him and sayd: wast not thou also wt Iesus of Nazareth?

68 And he denyed it sayinge: I knowe him not nether wot I what thou sayest. And he went out into ye poorche and the cocke crewe.

69 And a damsell sawe him and agayne beganne to saye to the that stode by this is one of the.

70 And he denyed it agayne. And anone after they that stode by sayde agayne to Peter: suerly thou arte one of the for thou arte of Galile and thy speache agreth therto.

71 And he beganne to cursse and to sweare sayinge: I knowe not this man of whom ye speake.

72 And agayne the cocke krewe and Peter remembred the worde that Iesus sayd vnto him: before the cocke crowe twyse thou shalt deny me thryse and beganne to wepe.
