The Gospel of Matthew 26

26 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover happens, and the Son of Man is handed over to be crucified.” 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the chief priest, the one called Caiaphas. 4 And they took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by deceit and kill him. 5 But they were saying, “Not during the festival, so that a riot does not happen among the people.”

6 Now, Jesus being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman approached him having an alabaster jar of very expensive perfumed oil, and she poured it upon his head, he reclining to eat. 8 Now having seen this, the disciples became very angry, saying, “For what is this waste? 9 For this was able to be sold for much and given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why are you causing trouble for the woman? For she did a good work for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 12 For she, putting this perfumed oil on my body, did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, also what she did will be spoken in remembrance of her.”

14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, having gone to the chief priests, 15 said, “What are you willing to give me, and I will hand him over to you?” And they weighed out 30 pieces of silver for him. 16 And from then he was seeking an opportunity in order that he might hand him over.

17 Now on the first of the Festival of Unleavened Bread the disciples approached Jesus, saying, “Where do you want that we might prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 And he said, “Go into the city to so-and-so and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I with my disciples am doing the Passover with you.” ’ ” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20 Now evening having come, he was reclining to eat with the Twelve. 21 And they eating, he said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will hand me over.” 22 And being very grieved, each one began to say to him, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23 But he, answering, said, “The one having dipped his hand with me in the bowl, this one will hand me over. 24 The Son of Man departs just as it has been written about him. But woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is handed over! It would have been good for him if that man had not been born.” 25 But answering, Judas, the one handing him over, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” He says to him, “You said it.”

26 Now they eating, Jesus, having taken bread and having blessed, broke it. And having given it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat. This is my body.” 27 And having taken a cup and having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is my blood of the[fn] covenant that is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will certainly not drink from now from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”

30 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus says to them, “You all will be caused to stumble on me in this night, for it is written,

‘I will strike the shepherd

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” 33 But answering, Peter said to him, “If all will be caused to stumble on you, I never will be caused to stumble.” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that in this night, before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter says to him, “Even if it were necessary for me to die with you, I will certainly not deny you.” All the disciples also said likewise.

36 Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane and says to the disciples, “Sit here while, having gone away there, I pray.” 37 And having taken along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and greatly troubled. 38 Then he says to them, “My soul is very grieved, to death. Remain here and be alert with me.” 39 And having gone a little farther, he fell on his face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you.” 40 And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and he says to Peter, “So, were you not able to be alert with me for one hour? 41 Be alert and pray so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, having gone away a second time, he prayed, saying, “My Father, if this is not able to pass away unless I drink it, let your will be done.” 43 And having come again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down. 44 And having left them again, having gone away, he prayed a third time, having said the same word again. 45 Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour has come near, and the Son of Man is handed over into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us go. Behold, the one handing me over has come near.”

47 And he still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the Twelve, came, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now the one handing him over gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss is he. Seize him.” 49 And immediately, having approached Jesus, he said, “Rejoice, Rabbi!” and he kissed him. 50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what are you present?” Then having approached, they laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

Every day I was sitting in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 56 But all this has happened so that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

57 Now the ones having seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And having entered inside, he was sitting down with the officers to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death. 60 And they did not find any, many false witnesses having approached. But later two, having approached, 61 said, “This one said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’ ” 62 And having stood up, the high priest said to him, “Do you answer nothing? What are these testifying against you?” 63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I make you swear by the living God that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus says to him, “You said it. But I say to you, from now you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still have need of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What do you think?” And they, answering, said, “He is deserving of death.” 67 Then they spit in his face and beat him. And they slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ. Who is the one having hit you?”

69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one servant girl approached him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.” 70 But he denied it before all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.” 71 But he having gone out to the gateway, another saw him and says to the ones there, “This one was with Jesus the Nazarene.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!” 73 But after a little while the ones standing there, having approached, said to Peter, “Truly you also are from them, for also your speech makes you evident.” 74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus that he had said: “Before a rooster crows you will deny me three times.” And having gone outside, he wept bitterly.
