The disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a waste!” they said.
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
“It could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”

The Last Supper
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me.

For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

Mark my words — I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.”
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter — this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
“No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.
Jesus Prays at Gethsemane
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again.
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look — the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!”
Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people.
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.”
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.”
Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, slashing off his ear.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?”
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
Then Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day.
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Jesus before the Council
Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and the elders had gathered.
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?”
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God — tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy.
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
What is your verdict?”
“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”
“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Then they began to spit in Jesus’ face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him,
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
jeering, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?”
Peter Denies Jesus
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Peter Denies Jesus
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came over and said to him, “You were one of those with Jesus the Galilean.”
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
But Peter denied it in front of everyone. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Again Peter denied it, this time with an oath. “I don’t even know the man,” he said.
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
A little later some of the other bystanders came over to Peter and said, “You must be one of them; we can tell by your Galilean accent.”
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Peter swore, “A curse on me if I’m lying — I don’t know the man!” And immediately the rooster crowed.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he went away, weeping bitterly.
