The Plot to Kill Jesus

Now the passover and the [feast of] unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him.

1

Death Plot and Anointing

Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him;

2

For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people.

2

for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people.”

3

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

And when he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he lay at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it out upon his head.

3

While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

4

And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?

4

But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

5

for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.

5

“For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

6

But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;

6

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

7

for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.

7

“For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

8

What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.

8

“She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

9

And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this [woman] has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.

9

“Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them;

10

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

11

and they, when they heard it, rejoiced, and promised him to give money. And he sought how he could opportunely deliver him up.

11

They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

The Last Supper

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they slew the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?

12

The Last Passover

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13

And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

13

And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

14

And wheresoever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

14

and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

15

and *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished ready. There make ready for us.

15

“And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”

16

And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.

16

The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

17

And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve.

17

When it was evening He came with the twelve.

18

And as they lay at table and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you shall deliver me up; he who is eating with me.

18

As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me — one who is eating with Me.”

19

And they began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, Is it *I*? [and another, Is it *I*?]

19

They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

20

But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

20

And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

21

The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; [it were] good for that man if he had not been born.

21

“For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

22

The Lord's Supper Instituted

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke [it], and gave [it] to them, and said, Take [this]: this is my body.

22

The Lord’s Supper

While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

And having taken [the] cup, when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them, and they all drank out of it.

23

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24

And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many.

24

And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25

Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

25

“Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26

And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

26

After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial

And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

27

And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.’

28

But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

28

“But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

29

But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet not *I*.

29

But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away, yet I will not.”

30

And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before [the] cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.

30

And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

31

But he said [so much] exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.

31

But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

32

Jesus Prays at Gethsemane

And they come to a place of which the name [is] Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.

32

Jesus in Gethsemane

They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.”

33

And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.

33

And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

34

And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.

34

And He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

35

And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

35

And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

36

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what *I* will, but what *thou* [wilt].

36

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37

And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?

37

And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

38

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh weak.

38

“Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39

And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.

39

Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

40

And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.

40

And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

41

And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

41

And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

42

“Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

43

Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest

And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, [being] one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

43

Betrayal and Arrest

Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44

Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead [him] away safely.

44

Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard.”

45

And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.

45

After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46

And they laid their hands upon him and seized him.

46

They laid hands on Him and seized Him.

47

But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear.

47

But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48

And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?

48

And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

49

I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but [it is] that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

49

“Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”

50

And all left him and fled.

50

And they all left Him and fled.

51

And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked [body]; and [the young men] seize him;

51

A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they seized him.

52

but he, leaving the linen cloth behind [him], fled from them naked.

52

But he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.

53

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

53

Jesus before His Accusers

They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together.

54

And Peter followed him at a distance, till [he was] within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light [of the fire].

54

Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

55

And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find [any].

55

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

56

For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.

56

For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

57

And certain persons rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,

57

Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

58

*We* heard him saying, *I* will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands.

58

“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

59

And neither thus did their testimony agree.

59

Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

60

And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?

60

The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”

61

But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

61

But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62

And Jesus said, *I* am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

62

And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”

63

And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses?

63

Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

64

Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

64

“You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

65

And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

65

Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

66

Peter Denies Jesus

And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,

66

Peter’s Denials

As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

67

and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And *thou* wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.

67

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

68

But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.

68

But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he went out onto the porch.

69

And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is [one] of them.

69

The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”

70

And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art [one] of them, for also thou art a Galilean.

70

But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too.”

71

But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

71

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

72

And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before [the] cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.

72

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he began to weep.
