14:1Now 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.
14:2For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people.
14:3And 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.
14:4And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?
14:5for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.
14:6But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;
14:7for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.
14:8What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.
14:9And 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.
14:10And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them;
14:11and they, when they heard it, rejoiced, and promised him to give money. And he sought how he could opportunely deliver him up.
14:12And 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?
14:13And 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.
14:14And 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?
14:15and *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished ready. There make ready for us.
14:16And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
14:17And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve.
14:18And 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.
14:19And they began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, Is it *I*? and another, Is it *I*?
14:20But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
14:21The 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.
14:22And 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.
14:23And having taken the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank out of it.
14:24And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many.
14:25Verily 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.
14:26And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
14:27And 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.
14:28But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
14:29But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet not *I*.
14:30And 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.
14:31But 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.
14:32And they come to a place of which the name is Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.
14:33And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.
14:34And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.
14:35And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
14:36And 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.
14:37And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?
14:38Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
14:39And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.
14:40And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.
14:41And 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.
14:42Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
14:43And 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.
14:44Now 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.
14:45And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.
14:46And they laid their hands upon him and seized him.
14:47But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear.
14:48And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?
14:49I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
14:50And all left him and fled.
14:51And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men seize him;
14:52but he, leaving the linen cloth behind him, fled from them naked.
14:53And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
14:54And 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.
14:55And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find any.
14:56For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.
14:57And certain persons rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,
14:58*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.
14:59And neither thus did their testimony agree.
14:60And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
14:61But 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?
14:62And 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.
14:63And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses?
14:64Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
14:65And 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.
14:66And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,
14:67and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And *thou* wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
14:68But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.
14:69And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them.
14:70And 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.
14:71But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
14:72And 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.
15:1And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
15:2And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.
15:3And the chief priests accused him urgently.
15:4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
15:5But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
15:6But at the feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged of him.
15:7Now there was the person named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with him, and that had committed murder in the insurrection.
15:8And the crowd crying out began to beg that he would do to them as he had always done.
15:9But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
15:10for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
15:11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
15:12And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call King of the Jews?
15:13And they cried out again, Crucify him.
15:14And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
15:15And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
15:16And the soldiers led him away into the court which is called the praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
15:17And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.
15:18And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
15:19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.
15:20And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
15:21And they compel to go with them a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
15:22And they bring him to the place called Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
15:23And they offered him wine to drink medicated with myrrh; but he did not take it.
15:24And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst themselves, casting lots on them, what each one should take.
15:25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
15:26And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.
15:27And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
15:28And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.
15:29And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,
15:30save thyself, and descend from the cross.
15:31In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
15:32Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
15:33And when the sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;
15:34and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
15:35And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls for Elias.
15:36And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.
15:37And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.
15:38And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
15:39And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.
15:40And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
15:41who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.
15:42And when it was already evening, since it was the preparation, that is, the day before a sabbath,
15:43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
15:44And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to him the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
15:45And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
15:46And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
15:47And Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was put.
16:1And the sabbath being now past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.
16:2And very early on the first day of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.
16:3And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?
16:4And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away, for it was very great.
16:5And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;
16:6but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.
16:7But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.
16:8And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
16:9Now when he had risen very early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
16:10*She* went and brought word to those that had been with him, who were grieving and weeping.
16:11And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved it.
16:12And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;
16:13and *they* went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.
16:14Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.
16:15And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.
16:16He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.
16:17And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
16:18they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.
16:19The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
16:20And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs following upon it.
