said, "Master, is it I?" he said to him," Thou hast said it." 26 And as they were eating, Jesus taking a loaf, and blessing God, he brake, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." 27 And he took the cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them, saying, "Drink ye, all, out of it: 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. 29 And I tell you, that I shall not drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you, in my Father's kingdom." 30 AND having recited a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

31 Then Jesus said to them, "All ye will be offended because of me this night: for it is written, 'I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.' 32 But, after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee." 33 Then Peter answering said to him, "Though all should be offended because of thee, I will never be offended." 34 Jesus said to him, "Verily I tell thee, that on this night, before the cock erow, thou wilt disown me thrice." 35 Peter said to him, "Though I should even die with thee, I will in no wise disown thee." In ike manner also, said all the disciples.

36 THEN Jesus went with them to a place called Gethse

"Sit ye here, while i go and pray yonder." 37 And taking with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and full of anguish. 38 Then said Jesus to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even unto death: remain here, and watch with me." 39 And going forward a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." 40 And he came to the disciples and found them asleep; and said to Peter, "So then, were ye not able to watch with me one hour? 41 Watch ye, and pray; that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 42 He went away again a second time, and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if this [cup] cannot pass away [from me,] except I drink it, thy will be done." 43 And returning he found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed [a third time] saying the the same words. 45 Then he

came to his disciples, and said to them, "Are ye still asleep, and taking rest? Behold! the hour approacheth; and the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners. 46 Arise, let us go: lo! he who delivereth me up is near."

Then coming near, they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him.

and said, "This man declared,

"Answerest thou nothing? what

51 And lo! one of those who were with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the high-priest's servant, cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put up thy sword into its place: for all those who take the sword, perish by the sword. 53 Think-thee by the living God, that est thou, that I cannot now thou tell us, whether thou be pray to my Father, and he the Christ, the Son of God." 64 would send me, more than Jesus said to him, "Thou hast twelve legions of angels? 54 But said it moreover I tell you, how then, could the scriptures Hereafter ye will see the Son be fulfilled, which say that thus of man sitting on the right hand it must be?" of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

55 At that time Jesus said to the multitudes, "Are ye come 65 Then the high-priest rent out, as against a robber, with his clothes, saying, "He hath swords and clubs, to take me? spoken blasphemy: what furI sat daily [with you, teaching] ther need have we of witnesses? in the temple, and ye did not see, now ye have heard [his] arrest me. 56 But all this has blasphemy. 66 What think so happened, that the writings ye?" And they answering, said, of the prophets be fulfilled.""He is guilty of death." Then all the disciples left him and fled.

57 NOW they who had seized Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high-priest; where the

thou to that." 5 And having thrown down the pieces of silver, in the temple, he withdrew, and going out, was choked with anguish.

Who is he that struck thee ?" 69 NOW Peter sat without, in the palace and a maid-servant came to him, saying, "Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean." 70 But he deni- 6 And the chief-priests, taked it before them all, saying, "I ing the pieces of silver, said, know not what thou sayest." 71"It is not lawful to put them into the treasury; because it is the price of blood." 7 And takíng counsel, they bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field is called The field of blood, to this day. 9 (Then was fulfilled the word of the prophet [Jeremiah], who saith. "And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom they of the sons of Israel valued; 10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.")

And as he went out into the porch, another maid-servant saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also, was with Jesus of Nazareth." 72 And he denied it again, with an oath, saying, "I know not the man.' 73 And after a little time those who stood by, came and said to Peter, "Surely thou also art one of them; for even thy speech discovcreth thee." 74 Then he began to curse himself, and to swear, saying, "I know not the man." And immediately the cock crew. 75 And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who had said to him, "Before the cock crow, thou wilt thrice deny me." And going out, he wept bitterly.

having caused Jesus to be scourged, he delivered him up to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus with them into the judgment-hall, where they gathered around him the whole band. 28 And having stripped him, they put on him a scarlet robe. 29 and having platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand and kneeling down, before him, they derided him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews." 30 And they spat on him; and took the reed, and struck him on the head. 31 And having derided

21 Then the governor answering, said to them, "Which of the two will ye that I release to you?" and they said “Bahim, they stripped him of the rabbas." 22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ ?" They all said [to him], "Let him be crucified." 23 And the govern or said, "Why, what evil hath he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him | be crucified."

32 AND as they were coming out, they met with a Cyrenian, named Simon; whom they compelled to carry his cross. 33 And having arrived at a place called Golgotha, which [signifieth] a place of skulls, 34 they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall: and having tasted

having crucified him, they parted among them his garments, casting lots. 36 And, sitting down, they watched him there. 37 And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWs. 38 At the same time,

another on his left.

51 And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom: and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent; 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of saints, who slept, arose: 53 and they came out of the tombs after his resurrection, and entered into the holy city, and appeared to many.

39 And those who passed by, reviled him, shaking their heads, 40 and saying, "Thou who destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. As thou art a son of God, come down from the cross." 41 In like manner the chief-priests also, with the 54 Now when the centurion, scribes and elders, deriding, and those who were with him, said, 42 "He saved others; watching Jesus, saw the earthcannot he save himself?

45 Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Then some of the bystanders, hearing this, said, "He calleth Elijah." 48 And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and putting it on a reed, gave him to drink. 49 But the rest said, "Forbear: let us see whether Elijah will come and save him." 50 Then Jesus, having cried again with a loud voice, expired.

57 NOW in the evening, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was also a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in clean linen; 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in a rock and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary; sitting over against the tomb.
