1 When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. 4 They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him. 5 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. 8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

10 However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me. 12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?" So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

18 He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, "My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."’"

19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It isn’t me, is it, Lord?"

23 He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

25 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?"

He said to him, "You said it."

26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." 27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it, 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission 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.
