1 过两天， 就是逾越节和除酵节了， 祭司长和经学家设法怎样用诡计逮捕耶稣， 把他杀害。
2 不过他们说： "不可在节期下手， 免得引起民众暴动。"
3 耶稣在伯大尼， 在患痲风的西门家里吃饭的时候， 有一个女人来了， 拿着一瓶珍贵的纯哪哒香膏。她打破了瓶， 把香膏浇在耶稣的头上。
4 有几个人很生气， 彼此说： "为什么这样浪费香膏呢？
5 这香膏可以卖三百多个银币， 用来赒济穷人。"他们就向她发怒。
6 但耶稣说： "由她吧！ 为什么难为她呢？她在我身上作的是一件美事。
7 你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起， 只要你们愿意， 随时都可以向他们行善， 然而你们却不常有我。
8 她已经尽她所能的作了。她预先用香膏膏了我的身体， 是为了我的安葬。
9 我实在告诉你们， 福音无论传到世界上什么地方， 都要传讲这女人所作的来记念她。"
10 十二门徒中的一个， 就是加略人犹大， 去见祭司长， 要把耶稣交给他们。
11 他们听见了就很欢喜， 答应给他银子。于是犹大就找机会出卖耶稣。
12 除酵节的第一天， 就是宰杀逾越节羊羔的那一天， 门徒问耶稣： "你要我们到哪里去， 为你预备逾越节的晚餐呢？"
13 他就差派两个门徒， 对他们说： "你们到城里去， 必有一个拿着水瓶的人， 向你们迎面而来， 你们就跟着他，
14 无论他进入哪一家， 你们要对那家主说， 老师说： ‘我的客厅在哪里？我和门徒好在那里吃逾越节的晚餐。’
15 他必指给你们楼上一间布置整齐、预备妥当的大房间， 你们就在那里为我们预备。"
16 门徒出去， 进了城， 所遇见的正如耶稣所说的， 就预备好了逾越节的晚餐。
17 到了晚上， 耶稣和十二门徒来了。
18 他们坐着吃饭的时候， 耶稣说： "我实在告诉你们， 你们中间有一个跟我一起吃饭的人要出卖我。"
19 他们就很忧愁， 一个一个地问他： "是我吗？"
20 耶稣对他们说： "他是十二门徒里的一个， 和我一同把手蘸在盘子里的。
21 正如经上指着人子所说的， 他固然要离世， 但出卖人子的那人有祸了！ 他没有生下来还好。"
22 他们吃的时候， 耶稣拿起饼来， 祝谢了， 就擘开， 递给门徒， 说： "你们拿去吃吧， 这是我的身体。"
23 又拿起杯来， 祝谢了就递给门徒， 他们都喝了。
24 耶稣说： "这是我的血， 是为立约的， 为许多人流出来的。
25 我实在告诉你们， 我决不再喝这葡萄酒， 直到我在 神的国里喝新酒的那一天。"
26 他们唱完了诗， 就出来， 往橄榄山去。
27 耶稣对他们说： "你们都要后退， 因为经上记着： ‘我要击打牧人， 羊群就分散了。’
28 但我复活以后， 要比你们先到加利利去。"
29 彼得对他说： "就算所有的人都后退， 我却不会。"
30 耶稣对他说： "我实在告诉你， 就在今天晚上， 鸡叫两遍以前， 你会三次不认我。"
31 彼得更坚决地说： "就算必须与你一同死， 我也决不会不认你！ "众人也都这样说。
32 他们来到一个地方， 名叫客西马尼； 耶稣对门徒说： "你们坐在这里， 我去祷告。"
33 他带了彼得、雅各、约翰一起去， 就惊惧起来， 非常难过。
34 于是对他们说： "我的心灵痛苦得快要死了； 你们要留在这里， 也要警醒。"
35 耶稣稍往前走， 俯伏在地上祷告： 如果可能的话， 使那时刻不要临到他。
36 他说： "阿爸、父啊， 你凡事都能作， 求你叫这杯离开我。但不要照我的意思， 只要照你的旨意。"
37 耶稣回来， 看见门徒睡着了， 就对彼得说： "西门， 你睡觉吗？你连一个小时也不能警醒吗？
38 应当警醒、祷告， 免得陷入试探； 你们心灵虽然愿意， 肉体却是软弱的。"
39 耶稣又去祷告， 说的也是同样的话。
40 他再回来的时候， 看见门徒睡着了； 因为他们十分疲倦， 不知道该怎样回答他。
41 耶稣第三次回来， 对他们说： "你们还在睡觉休息吗？够了， 时候到了， 看哪， 人子要被交在罪人手里了。
42 起来， 我们走吧！ 出卖我的人来了。"
43 耶稣还在说话的时候， 十二门徒中的犹大和一群拿着刀棒的人来到了； 他们是祭司长、经学家和长老派来的。
44 出卖耶稣的人给他们一个暗号， 说： "我跟谁亲嘴， 谁就是他。你们把他逮捕， 小心带去。"
45 犹大来到， 立刻上前对耶稣说： "拉比！ "就跟他亲嘴。
46 他们就动手拿住耶稣， 逮捕了他。
47 站在旁边的人中有一个拔出刀来， 砍了大祭司的仆人一刀， 削掉了他的一只耳朵。
48 耶稣对他们说： "你们带着刀棒出来， 把我当作强盗捉拿吗？
49 我天天在殿里教导人， 跟你们在一起， 你们却没有捉拿我； 但这是为了要应验经上的话。"
50 门徒都离开他逃跑了。
51 有一个青年， 赤身披着一块麻布， 跟着耶稣。众人捉住他的时候，
52 他就丢掉麻布， 赤身逃跑了。
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里， 所有的祭司长、长老和经学家都聚集在一起。
54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣， 直到大祭司的官邸， 和差役一同坐着烤火。
55 祭司长和公议会全体都寻找证据控告耶稣， 要把他处死， 却没有找着。
56 有许多人作假证供控告他， 但他们的证供各不相符。
57 有几个人站起来， 作假证供控告他说：
58 "我们听他说过： ‘我要拆毁这座人手所造的圣所， 三日之内要另建一座不是人手所造的圣所。’"
59 就是这样的见证， 他们也不一致。
60 大祭司站起来， 走到中间， 问耶稣： "这些人作证控告你的是什么呢？你怎么不回答呢？"
61 耶稣却不作声， 什么也不回答。大祭司又问他： "你是那受称颂者的儿子基督吗？"
62 耶稣说： "我是。你们要看见人子， 坐在权能者的右边， 驾着天上的云降临。"
63 大祭司就撕开自己的衣服， 说： "我们还要什么证人呢？
64 你们都听见这亵渎的话了。你们认为怎么样？"众人都定他该死的罪。
65 于是有些人就向他吐唾沫， 蒙住他的脸。用拳头打他， 对他说： "你说预言吧！ "差役把他拉去， 用手掌打他。
66 彼得在下边院子的时候， 大祭司的一个婢女来了，
67 看见彼得烤火， 就瞪着他说： "你也是和拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的！ "
68 彼得却否认说： "我不知道， 也不明白你在说什么！ "他就走出去， 到了前院， 鸡就叫了（有些抄本无"鸡就叫了"一句）。
69 那婢女看见他， 又对站在旁边的人说： "这个人也是他们一伙的。"
70 彼得还是不承认。过了一会， 站在旁边的人也对彼得说： "你真是他们一伙的， 因为你也是加利利人。"
71 彼得就发咒起誓说： "我不认得你们说的这个人！ "
72 立刻鸡就叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话： "鸡叫两遍以前， 你要三次不认我。"他一想起来， 就哭了（"他一想起来， 就哭了"或译： "他就夺步而出， 痛哭起来"）。
1 Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him: 2 for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.
3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; and she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head. 4 But there were some that had indignation among themselves, saying, To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made? 5 For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always. 8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying. 9 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them. 11 And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him unto them.
12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover? 13 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him; 14 and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15 And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us. 16 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. 18 And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me. 19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? 20 And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish. 21 For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body. 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad. 28 Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice. 31 But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.
32 And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray. 33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled. 34 And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him. 41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 43 And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 45 And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him, and took him. 47 But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. 48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled. 50 And they all left him, and fled.
51 And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked body: and they lay hold on him; 52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54 And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not. 56 For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together. 57 And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. 59 And not even so did their witness agree together. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. 63 And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death. 65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus. 68 But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69 And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70 But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, Of a truth thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilæan. 71 But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72 And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
