1 And it was Passover and the feast of unleavened bread after two days. And the high priests and the scribes sought how seizing Him with guile they could kill Him. 2 For they said "Not on the feast, that at no time shall there be an uproar by the people!" 3 And with His being in Bethania at the house of Simon the leper, upon His reclining came a woman having a box of pure ointment of spikenard of great value. Breaking the box she poured it on His head. 4 But there were some getting annoyed between themselves: "For what has this waste of the ointment occurred? 5 For this ointment was able to be sold for over three hundred denarii and to be given to the poor!" And they admonished her. 6 But Yahshua said: "Allow her! Why do you cause trouble for her? She has performed a good deed on Me. 7 For always do you have the poor among yourselves and whenever you should desire you are able to do good for them. But Me you do not always have. 8 That which she had means of she has done. She has anticipated to rub My body with ointment for burial. 9 Truly I say to you, wherever the good message should be proclaimed in all Society, also that which she has done shall be spoken for a memorial of her!" 10 And Ioudas Iskarioth who is one of the twelve had gone out to the high priests in order that he could betray Him to them. 11 And they hearing it rejoiced and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he could betray Him opportunely. 12 And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when the Passover is sacrificed, His students say to Him: "How do You wish departing we may prepare in order that You may eat the Passover?" 13 And He sends two of His students and says to them: "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water shall meet you. Follow him 14 and wherever he should enter you say to the master of the house that 'The Teacher says, Where are My quarters where I shall eat the Passover with My students?' 15 And he shall show you a spacious furnished prepared upper room, and there you shall prepare it for us." 16 And the students went out and came into the city and found just as He said to them and they prepared the Passover. 17 And with it becoming late He comes with the twelve. 18 And upon their reclining and eating Yahshua said: "Truly I say to you that one from among you who is eating with Me shall betray Me!" 19 They began to grieve and to say to Him one by one: "Is it I?" 20 Then He said to them: "One of the twelve, He dipping with Me into the same bowl! 21 Because indeed the Son of Man shall go just as it is written concerning Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is handed over! It is good for him if that man had not been born!" 22 And upon their eating, taking a loaf blessing He broke and gave it to them and said: "You take, this is My body." 23 And taking a cup giving thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them: "This is My blood of the covenant which is being poured out on behalf of many. 25 Truly I say to you that by no means shall I any longer drink from of the produce of the vine until that day when I shall drink it anew in the Kingdom of Yahweh!" 26 And singing hymns they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27 And Yahshua says to them that "All shall be made to stumble, because it is written: 'I shall smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered'! 28 But after what it takes for Me to be raised I shall go before you into Galilaia." 29 Then Petros said to Him: "If even all are made to stumble, yet not I!" 30 And Yahshua says to him: "Truly I say to you that today on this night before a cock crows twice, three times should you deny Me." 31 But more exceedingly he said: "If it should be necessary for me to die with You, by no means shall I deny You!" Then likewise also they all spoke. 32 And they came into a place of which the name is Gethsamani and He says to His students: "Sit here while I shall pray." 33 And He takes Petros and Iakobos and Iohannes with Him and He began to be terrified and to be troubled 34 and He says to them: "My soul is deeply grieved, even unto death! Remain here and stay awake." 35 And having gone forth a little He fell upon the ground and prayed that if it is possible, the hour should pass from Him, 36 and He said: "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You! Set aside this cup from Me! Yet it is not what I desire but what You do!" 37 And He comes and finds them sleeping, and says to Petros: "Simon, you sleep? Are you not able for one hour to stay awake? 38 Stay awake and pray, that you should not enter into trial! Indeed the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!" 39 And again having departed He prayed saying the same word. 40 And again having come He found them sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down, and they did not know what they could reply to Him. 41 And He comes for a third time and says to them: "You sleep? Finally then are you rested? It is enough! The hour has come, behold! The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of wrongdoers! 42 Arise, we must go! Behold, he who is betraying Me is near!" 43 And immediately upon His speaking Ioudas arrives, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs from the high priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 (And he who is betraying Him gave to them a signal, saying: "He whom I should kiss is He, seize and lead Him away securely.") 45 And having come immediately coming forth to Him he says "Rabbi!", and he kissed Him. 46 Then they threw the hands upon Him and seized Him. 47 Then a certain one of those who stood nearby drawing the sword smote the servant of the high priest and took off his ear. 48 And responding Yahshua said to them: "As for a robber have you come out with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 Each day I was with you in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me! But it is in order that the writings should be fulfilled!" 50 And leaving Him they all fled. 51 And a certain youth who had followed Him had been wrapped in a linen cloth, for he was naked, and they seize him. 52 But he leaving behind the linen cloth fled naked. 53 And they brought Yahshua off to the high priest, and all the high priests and the elders and the scribes gather together to Him. 54 And Petros from afar had followed Him until inside in the court of the high priest and he was sitting together with the deputies and warming himself by the fire. 55 Then the high priests and the whole council sought testimony against Yahshua for which to kill Him, and they found it not, 56 for many had testified falsely against Him, and the testimonies were not the same. 57 And some arising gave false testimony against Him saying 58 that: "We heard Him saying that 'I shall destroy this temple made by hand and after three days I shall build another not made by hand!'" 59 Yet not even thusly was their testimony the same. 60 And the high priest arising into the middle questioned Yahshua saying "Would You not answer anything to what they testify against You?" 61 But He was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest questioned Him and says to Him: "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62 Then Yahshua 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 torn his garments says: "Why do we have further need of testimonies? 64 You have heard the blasphemy! What does it appear to you?" Then they all judged Him to be liable for death. 65 And some began to spit at Him and to put a cover around His face and to beat Him and to say to Him "Prophesy!", and the deputies with blows took Him. 66 And Petros being down in the court, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes 67 and seeing Petros warming himself, looking at him she says: "You also were with the Nazarene Yahshua!" 68 But he denied it saying: "Neither do I know nor do I understand what you say!" And he went outside into the front yard, and a cock crowed. 69 And the servant girl seeing him said to those who stood nearby that "He is from among them!" 70 But again he denied it. And after a while those who stood nearby again said to Petros: "Truly you are from among them, for you also are a Galilaian!" 71 But he began to curse and to swear that "I do not know this man whom you speak of!" 72 And immediately a cock crowed for a second time. And Petros remembered the word as Yahshua spoke to him, that "before a cock crows twice, three times should you deny Me", and considering it he wept.
