⥃The Plot to Kill Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:1–5 † Luke 22:1–2 † John 11:45–57 ]}

[1] After two² days was [the feast of] the passover³, and of unleavened bread: and the chief⁴ priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by⁵ craft, and put [him] to death. [2] But they said, Not⁶ on the feast [day], lest⁷ there be an uproar of the people.

⥃Jesus Anointed at Bethany ^{[ Matthew 26:6–13 † Luke 7:36–50 † John 12:1–8 ]}

[3] And being⁸ in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment⁹ of spikenard¹⁰ very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head. [4] And there¹¹ were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why¹² was this waste of the ointment made? [5] For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence¹³, and have been given¹⁴ to the poor. And they¹⁵ murmured against her. [6] And Jesus said, Let¹⁶ her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good¹⁷ work on me. [7] For ye have¹⁸ the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but¹⁹ me ye have not always. [8] She hath done²⁰ what she could: she is²¹ come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. [9] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever²² this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial²³ of her.

⥃Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:14–16 † Luke 22:3–6 ]}

[10] And Judas²⁴ Iscariot, one²⁵ of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray²⁶ him unto them. [11] And when they heard [it], they were²⁷ glad, and promised²⁸ to give him money. And he sought²⁹ how he might conveniently betray him.

⥃Preparing the Passover ^{[ Matthew 26:17–19 † Luke 22:7–13 ]}

[12] And the first³⁰ day of unleavened bread, when they killed³¹ the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where³² wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? [13] And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go³³ ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. [14] And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master³⁴ saith, Where i³⁵s the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [15] And he will³⁶ shew you a large upper³⁷ room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us. [16] And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found³⁸ as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

⥃The Last Supper ^{[ Matthew 26:20–30 † Luke 22:14–23 † 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 ]}

[17] And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.³⁹ [18] And as⁴⁰ they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily⁴¹ I say unto you, One⁴² of you which eateth with me shall betray me. [19] And they began to be sorrowful, and to⁴³ say unto him one by one, [Is] it I? and another [said], [Is] it I? [20] And he answered and said unto them, [It is⁴⁴] one of the twelve, that dippeth⁴⁵ with me in the dish. [21] The Son of man indeed goeth⁴⁶, as it is written of him: but⁴⁷ woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good⁴⁸ were it for that man if he had never been born.

[22] And as⁴⁹ they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed⁵⁰, and brake [it], and gave to them, and said, Take⁵¹, eat: this⁵² is my body. [23] And he took the cup, and when⁵³ he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them: and they⁵⁴ all drank of it. [24] And he said unto them, This⁵⁵ is my blood of the new testament, which⁵⁶ is shed for many. [25] Verily I say unto you, I will⁵⁷ drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new⁵⁸ in the kingdom of God.

[26] And when they had sung⁵⁹ an hymn⁶⁰, they went out into the mount of Olives.

⥃Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial ^{[ Zechariah 13:7–9 † Matthew 26:31–35 † Luke 22:31–38 † John 13:36–38 ]}

[27] And Jesus saith unto them, All⁶¹ ye shall be offended because of me this night: for⁶² it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. [28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.⁶³ [29] But Peter said unto him, Although⁶⁴ all shall be offended, yet [will] not I. [30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day⁶⁵, [even] in this night, before⁶⁶ the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. [31] But he spake⁶⁷ the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise⁶⁸ also said they all.

⥃Jesus Prays at Gethsemane ^{[ Matthew 26:36–46 † Luke 22:39–46 ]}

[32] And they came⁶⁹ to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while⁷⁰ I shall pray. [33] And he taketh with him Peter⁷¹ and James and John, and began⁷² to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; [34] And saith unto them, My soul⁷³ is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch⁷⁴. [35] And he went forward a little, and fell⁷⁵ on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. [36] And he said, Abba⁷⁶, Father, all⁷⁷ things [are] possible unto thee; take⁷⁸ away this cup from me: nevertheless⁷⁹ not what I will, but what thou wilt. [37] And he cometh, and findeth⁸⁰ them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon⁸¹, sleepest thou? couldest⁸² not thou watch one hour? [38] Watch⁸³ ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit⁸⁴ truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak. [39] And again he went⁸⁵ away, and prayed, and spake the same words. [40] And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither⁸⁶ wist they what to answer him. [41] And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep⁸⁷ on now, and take [your] rest: it is enough, the hour⁸⁸ is come; behold, the Son⁸⁹ of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. [42] Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.⁹⁰

⥃The Betrayal of Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:47–56 † Luke 22:47–53 † John 18:1–14 ]}

[43] And immediately, while⁹¹ he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with⁹² him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. [44] And he that betrayed him had given them a token⁹³, saying, Whomsoever⁹⁴ I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead⁹⁵ [him] away safely. [45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master⁹⁶, master; and kissed him.

[46] And they laid their hands on him, and took him.⁹⁷ [47] And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.⁹⁸ [48] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are⁹⁹ ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and [with] staves to take me? [49] I was¹⁰⁰ daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but¹⁰¹ the scriptures must be fulfilled. [50] And they all forsook him, and fled.¹⁰² [51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about [his] naked [body]; and the young men laid hold on him: [52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.¹⁰³

⥃Jesus before the Sanhedrin ^{[ Matthew 26:57–68 † Luke 22:66–71 † John 18:19–24 ]}

[53] And they led¹⁰⁴ Jesus away to the high priest: and with¹⁰⁵ him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. [54] And Peter¹⁰⁶ followed him afar off, even¹⁰⁷ into the palace of the high priest: and he¹⁰⁸ sat with the servants, and warmed¹⁰⁹ himself at the fire. [55] And the chief priests and all the council sought¹¹⁰ for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found¹¹¹ none. [56] For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. [57] And there arose certain, and bare¹¹² false witness against him, saying, [58] We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.¹¹³ [59] But neither so did their witness agree together.¹¹⁴ [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?¹¹⁵ [61] But he held¹¹⁶ his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art¹¹⁷ thou the Christ, the Son¹¹⁸ of the Blessed? [62] And Jesus said, I am¹¹⁹: and ye shall see the Son¹²⁰ of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. [63] Then the high priest rent his¹²¹ clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? [64] Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.¹²² [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 servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.¹²³

⥃Peter Denies Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:69–75 † Luke 22:54–62 † John 18:15–18 ]}

[66] And as¹²⁴ Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one¹²⁵ of the maids of the high priest: [67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus¹²⁶ of Nazareth. [68] But he denied¹²⁷, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went¹²⁸ out into the porch; and the¹²⁹ cock crew. [69] And a maid¹³⁰ saw him again, and began¹³¹ to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them. [70] And he denied it again. And a little¹³² after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art [one] of them: for¹³³ thou art a Galilean, and thy¹³⁴ speech agreeth [thereto]. [71] But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this man of whom ye speak.¹³⁵ [72] And the second¹³⁶ time the cock crew. And Peter¹³⁷ called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept¹³⁸.
