1 Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

3 Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve. 4 He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them. 5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"

10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"’ 12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."

13 They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles. 15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom." 17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this and share it amongst yourselves, 18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes."

19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me." 20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22 The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"

23 They began to question amongst themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

24 A dispute also arose amongst them, which of them was considered to be greatest. 25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater amongst you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves. 27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am amongst you as one who serves.

28 "But you are those who have continued with me in my trials. 29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

31 The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat, 32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."

33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?"

They said, "Nothing."

36 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled."

38 They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords."

He said to them, "That is enough."

39 He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him. 40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don’t enter into temptation."

41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. 44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

47 While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this"—and he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

54 They seized him and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance. 55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat amongst them. 56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."

57 He denied Jesus, saying, "Woman, I don’t know him."

58 After a little while someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them!"

But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"

59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!"

60 But Peter said, "Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times." 62 He went out, and wept bitterly.

63 The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. 64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" 65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying, 67 "If you are the Christ, tell us."

But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won’t believe, 68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. 69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"

He said to them, "You say it, because I am."

71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!"

1 BUT the feast of the Phatiree, which is called Petscha, drew on.2 And the chief priests and the Sophree sought how they might kill him; for they feared from the people.3 But Satana entered into Jihuda called Scarjuta, who was of the number of the twelve.4 And he went, and spoke with the chief priests, and the Sophree, and the chief authorities of the temple, how he would deliver him to them.5 And they were glad, and confirmed to give him silver.6 And he promised to them, and sought him opportunity to betray him apart from the multitude.7 And the day of unleavened bread came, on which it was the custom to slay the petscha.8 And Jeshu sent Kipha and Juchanon, and said to them, Go prepare for us the petscha, that we may eat.9 But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?10 He saith to them, When, you have entered into the city, a man meeteth you, bearing a pitcher of waters; go after him, and when he hath gone in,11 say to the lord of the house, Our Master saith, Is there a dining-place where I may eat the petscha with my disciples?12 And he will show you a certain large upper chamber which is furnished: there make ready.13 And they went, and found as he had told them: and they prepared the petscha.14 And when it was time, Jeshu came and reclined, and the twelve apostles with him.15 And he said to them, With desire have I desired to eat this petscha with you before I suffer:16 for I tell you that from henceforth I shall not eat it, until it shall have been fulfilled in the kingdom of Aloha.17 And he took the cup, and praised, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:18 for I tell you that I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Aloha shall have come.19 And he took bread, and praised, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body which for you is given: this do in my memory.20 And thus also respecting the cup, when, after they had supped, he said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which for you is shed.21 Nevertheless, the hand of him who betrayeth me is on the table.22 And the Son of man goeth, as he was set apart: nevertheless woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!23 And they began to inquire among themselves, who it was of them who this should do.24 But there was also a contention among them, who of them was the greatest.25 And Jeshu said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are their lords; and they who exercise authority over them, doers of good are called.26 But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth.27 For who is greatest, he who reclineth, or he who serveth? Is not he who reclineth? But I am among you as he who serveth.28 You are they who have remained with me in my temptations.29 And I promise to you, as hath promised to me my Father, a kingdom;30 that you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.31 AND Jeshu said to Shemun, Shemun, behold, Satana, demandeth to sift thee as wheat;32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and thou also, in the time that thou art converted, confirm thy brethren.33 But Shemun said to him, My Lord, with thee I am prepared, and for the house of the bound, and for death.34 Jeshu saith to him, I tell thee, Shemun, that the cock will not crow to-day, till three times thou hast denied that thou knowest me.35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or shoes, was any thing wanting to you? They say to him, Nothing.36 He saith to them, Henceforth, he who hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip also; and he who hath not a sword, let him sell his garment and buy a sword.37 For I tell you also, that what is written must be fulfilled in me, that with the transgressors he was numbered: for all which concerns me must be accomplished.38 And they say to him, Our Lord, behold, here are two swords. He saith to them, They suffice.39 And he came forth, and went, as he was used, to the mount of the Place of Olives; and his disciples also went after him.40 And when come unto the spot, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.41 And he removed from them as (about the distance of) a stone's throw, and bowed the knee, and prayed,42 and said, Father, if thou wilt, let this cup pass: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, who strengthened him.44 And being in terror, more vehemently he prayed, and his sweat was as drops of blood, and fell upon the ground.45 And he arose from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them asleep, from sorrow.46 And he said to them, Why sleep you? arise and pray, that you enter not into temptation.47 And as he was speaking, behold a multitude, and behold him who was called Jihuda, one of the twelve, coming before them, and he came nigh to Jeshu, and kissed him: for this was the sign he had given to them, He whom I shall kiss is he.48 Jeshu saith to him, Jihuda, with the kiss betrayest thou the Son of man?49 But when they who were with him saw what was done, they say to him, Our Lord, shall we strike with the sword?50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear.51 Jeshu answered and said, It sufficeth until this; and he touched his ear which he had struck, and healed it.52 And Jeshu said to them who had come against him, the chief priests, and elders, and the chiefs of the forces of the temple, As against a thief are you come forth against me, with swords and clubs to take me?53 Every day with you have I been in the temple, and you did not stretch forth upon me (your) hands; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.54 And they took (and) brought him to the house of the chief of the priests; and Shemun came after him from afar.55 Now they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting around it, and Shemun also sat with them.56 And a certain damsel saw him as he sat by the fire, and, looking at him, she said, This also was with him.57 But he denied, and said, Woman, I know him not.58 And after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou also art of them. But Kipha said, I am not.59 And after one hour another contended and said, Assuredly this also was with him, for he is also a Galiloya.60 Kipha saith, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once, while he was speaking, the cock crew.61 And Jeshu turned, and looked upon Kipha; and Shemun remembered his word which our Lord had spoken to him, that before the cock shall crow thou wilt have denied me three times.62 And Shemun went without and wept bitterly.63 And the men who held Jeshu mocked him,64 and veiled him, and they struck him upon the face, saying, Prophesy, who struck thee.65 And many other things they blasphemed and spake against him.66 AND when it dawned, the elders and chief priests and the Sophree came together, and took him into the house of their assembly; saying to him,67 Art thou the Meshicha? tell us. He saith to them, Should I tell you, you would not believe me;68 and were I to ask you, you would not return me a word, nor release me.69 Henceforth the Son of man sitteth at the right hand of the power of Aloha.70 Then said they all, Thou art, then, the Son of Aloha? Jeshu saith to them, You say that I am.71 They say, Why yet need we witnesses? for we have heard from his mouth.
