1 Now after two days it was the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how,

3 And
4 But some were expressing indignation to one another:
5 For this perfumed oil could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor!” And they began to scold
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.
7 For the poor you always have with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have me.
8 She has done what she could;
9 And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, who
11 And
12 And on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go
13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,
14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’
15 And he will show you a large upstairs room furnished
16 And the disciples went out and came into the city and found
17 And
18 And
19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, “Surely not I?”
20 But he said to them, “
21 For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
22 And
23 And
24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many.
25 Truly I say to you that I will never drink of the fruit of the vine any longer until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 And
27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written,
28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29 But Peter said to him, “Even if they all fall away, certainly I will not!”
30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that today—this night—before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!”
31 But he kept saying emphatically, “If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And they all were saying the same
32 And they came to a place
33 And he took along Peter and James and John with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled.
34 And he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”
35 And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to pray
36 And he said, “Abba,
37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour?
38 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit
39 And again he went away
40 And again he came
41 And he came the third
42 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
43 And immediately,
44 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “
45 And
46 So they laid hands on him and arrested him.
47 But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing
48 And Jesus answered
49 Every day I was with you in the temple
50 And they all abandoned him
51 And a certain young man was following him, clothed
52 but he left behind the linen cloth
53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
54 And Peter followed him from a distance, right inside, into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find

58 “We heard him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple made by hands, and within three days I will build another not made by hands.”
59 And their testimony was not even consistent about this.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst
61 But he was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power

65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him “Prophesy!” And the officers received him with slaps in the face.
