⥃The Plot to Kill Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:1–5 † Mark 14:1–2 † John 11:45–57 ]}

[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.² [2] And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.³

⥃Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:14–16 † Mark 14:10–11 ]}

[3] Then entered⁴ Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being⁵ of the number of the twelve. [4] And he went⁶ his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. [5] And they were glad, and covenanted⁷ to give him money. [6] And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude⁸.

⥃Preparing the Passover ^{[ Matthew 26:17–19 † Mark 14:12–16 ]}

[7] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.⁹ [8] And he¹⁰ sent Peter and John, saying, Go¹¹ and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. [9] And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? [10] And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.¹² [11] And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master¹³ saith unto thee, Where is¹⁴ the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [12] And he¹⁵ shall shew you a large¹⁶ upper room furnished: there make ready. [13] And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.¹⁷

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

[14] And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.¹⁸ [15] And he said unto them, With desire I have desired¹⁹ to eat this passover with you before I suffer: [16] For I say unto you, I will not²⁰ any more eat thereof, until²¹ it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. [17] And he took²² the cup, and gave²³ thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves: [18] For I say unto you, I will not²⁴ drink of the fruit²⁵ of the vine, until²⁶ the kingdom of God shall come.

[19] And he took²⁷ bread, and gave thanks²⁸, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my²⁹ body which is given³⁰ for you: this do³¹ in remembrance of me. [20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This³² cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

[21] But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.³³ [22] And truly³⁴ the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but³⁵ woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! [23] And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.³⁶

⥃Who Is the Greatest?

[24] And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.³⁷ [25] And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.³⁸ [26] But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.³⁹ [27] For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.⁴⁰ [28] Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.⁴¹ [29] And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;⁴² [30] That ye may eat⁴³ and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit⁴⁴ on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

⥃Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial ^{[ Matthew 26:31–35 † Mark 14:27–31 † John 13:36–38 ]}

[31] And the Lord said, Simon⁴⁵, Simon, behold, Satan⁴⁶ hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift⁴⁷ [you] as wheat: [32] But I have⁴⁸ prayed for thee, that thy faith⁴⁹ fail not: and when⁵⁰ thou art converted, strengthen⁵¹ thy brethren. [33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am⁵² ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. [34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock⁵³ shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. [35] And he said unto them, When⁵⁴ I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked⁵⁵ ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. [36] Then said he unto them, But⁵⁶ now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. [37] For I say unto you, that this⁵⁷ that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he⁵⁸ was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. [38] And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto them, It⁵⁹ is enough.

⥃Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives ^{[ Matthew 26:36–46 † Mark 14:32–42 ]}

[39] And he came⁶⁰ out, and went, as⁶¹ he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. [40] And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray⁶² that ye enter not into temptation. [41] And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled⁶³ down, and prayed, [42] Saying, Father⁶⁴, if thou be willing, remove⁶⁵ this cup⁶⁶ from me: nevertheless not⁶⁷ my will, but thine, be done. [43] An⁶⁸d there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening⁶⁹ him. [44] And being⁷⁰ in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his⁷¹ sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. [45] And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping⁷² for sorrow, [46] And said unto them, Why sleep ye⁷³? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⥃The Betrayal of Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:47–56 † Mark 14:43–52 † John 18:1–14 ]}

[47] And while⁷⁴ he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas⁷⁵, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. [48] But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest⁷⁶ thou the Son of man with a kiss? [49] When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

[50] And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.⁷⁷ [51] And Jesus answered and said, Suffer⁷⁸ ye thus far. And he⁷⁹ touched his ear, and healed him. [52] Then Jesus⁸⁰ said unto the chief priests, and captains⁸¹ of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? [53] When I was⁸² daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but⁸³ this is your hour, and the power⁸⁴ of darkness.

⥃Peter Denies Jesus ^{[ Matthew 26:69–75 † Mark 14:66–72 † John 18:15–18 ]}

[54] Then took⁸⁵ they him, and led [him], and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter⁸⁶ followed afar off. [55] And when they had⁸⁷ kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter⁸⁸ sat down among them. [56] But a certain maid⁸⁹ beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. [57] And he denied⁹⁰ him, saying, Woman, I know him not. [58] And after a little while another⁹¹ saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. [59] And about the space of one hour after another confidently⁹² affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a Galilean. [60] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock⁹³ crew. [61] And the Lord turned⁹⁴, and looked⁹⁵ upon Peter. And Peter⁹⁶ remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before⁹⁷ the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. [62] And Peter went out, and wept⁹⁸ bitterly.

⥃The Soldiers Mock Jesus ^{[ Isaiah 50:4–11 † Matthew 27:27–31 † Mark 15:16–20 † John 19:1–15 ]}

[63] And the men⁹⁹ that held Jesus mocked¹⁰⁰ him, and smote [him]. [64] And when they had blindfolded¹⁰¹ him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? [65] And many other things blasphemously¹⁰² spake they against him.

⥃Jesus before the Sanhedrin ^{[ Matthew 26:57–68 † Mark 14:53–65 † John 18:19–24 ]}

[66] And as soon¹⁰³ as it was day, the elders¹⁰⁴ of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, [67] Art¹⁰⁵ thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If¹⁰⁶ I tell you, ye will not believe: [68] And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me] go.¹⁰⁷ [69] Hereafter shall¹⁰⁸ the Son¹⁰⁹ of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. [70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son¹¹⁰ of God? And he said unto them, Ye say¹¹¹ that I am. [71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. ¹¹²
