1 And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

2 After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

3 Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

4 And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

5 But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

8 But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.

10 But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

11 For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

12 For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

13 Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

15 What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

16 And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

18 And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.

20 Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;

21 And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

22 And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

23 And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

24 The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

25 And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

26 And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.

27 And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

28 Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

1 Baigęs visa tai kalbėti, Jėzus tarė savo mokiniams:

2 "Jūs žinote, kad po dviejų dienų bus Pascha, ir Žmogaus Sūnus bus atiduotas nukryžiuoti".

3 Tuomet aukštieji kunigai, Rašto žinovai bei tautos vyresnieji susirinko į vyriausiojo kunigo Kajafo rūmus

4 ir nusprendė suimti Jėzų klasta ir Jį nužudyti.

5 Bet jie sakė: "Tik ne per šventes, kad žmonėse nekiltų sąmyšio".

6 Kai Jėzus buvo Betanijoje, Simono Raupsuotojo namuose,

7 atėjo moteris su alebastriniu labai brangaus kvapiojo aliejaus indu ir Jam sėdinčiam prie stalo išpylė ant galvos.

8 Tai pamatę, mokiniai pasipiktino ir kalbėjo: "Kam toks eikvojimas?

9 Juk buvo galima aliejų brangiai parduoti ir išdalyti pinigus vargšams".

10 Tai sužinojęs, Jėzus tarė: "Kam skaudinate moterį? Ji man padarė gerą darbą!

11 Vargšų jūs visuomet turite su savimi, o mane ne visuomet turėsite.

12 Išpildama aliejų ant mano kūno, ji tai padarė mano laidotuvėms.

13 Iš tiesų sakau jums: visame pasaulyje, kur tik bus skelbiama ši Evangelija, jos atminimui bus pasakojama ir tai, ką ji padarė".

14 Tada vienas iš dvylikos, vardu Judas Iskarijotas, nuėjo pas aukštuosius kunigus

15 ir tarė: "Ką man duosite, jeigu Jį jums išduosiu?" Tie suderėjo su juo trisdešimt sidabrinių.

16 Ir nuo to laiko jis ieškojo progos išduoti Jį.

17 Pirmąją Neraugintos duonos dieną mokiniai priėjo prie Jėzaus ir paklausė: "Kur nori, kad Tau paruoštume valgyti Paschą?"

18 Jis atsakė: "Eikite į miestą pas tokį žmogų ir sakykite jam: ‘Mokytojas sako: Mano metas arti. Pas tave švęsiu Paschą su savo mokiniais’ ".

19 Mokiniai padarė, kaip Jėzus nurodė, ir paruošė Paschą.

20 Atėjus vakarui, Jėzus su dvylika sėdosi prie stalo.

21 Jiems bevalgant, Jėzus tarė: "Iš tiesų sakau jums: vienas iš jūsų mane išduos".

22 Jie labai nuliūdo ir kiekvienas klausė Jo: "Nejaugi aš, Viešpatie?"

23 Jis atsakė: "Mane išduos dažantis kartu su manim duoną dubenyje.

24 Žmogaus Sūnus, tiesa, eina, kaip apie Jį parašyta, bet vargas tam žmogui, per kurį Žmogaus Sūnus išduodamas. Geriau būtų buvę tam žmogui negimti".

25 Jo išdavėjas Judas paklausė: "Nejaugi aš, Rabi?!" Jis atsakė: "Tu pasakei".

26 Kai jie valgė, Jėzus paėmė duoną, palaimino, laužė ją ir davė mokiniams, sakydamas: "Imkite ir valgykite: tai yra mano kūnas".

27 Po to paėmė taurę, padėkojo ir davė jiems, tardamas: "Gerkite iš jos visi,

28 nes tai yra mano kraujas, Naujosios Sandoros kraujas, kuris už daugelį išliejamas nuodėmėms atleisti.
