Luke 22:3-47 in English

³ And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?

¹⁰ And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth.

¹¹ And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

²³ And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

²⁸ But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

²⁹ and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

³² but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

³³ And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³ And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

¹¹ And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

²³ And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

²⁸ Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

³⁰ That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

³⁷ For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴² Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁴³ And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

³ Then even though Judas, who was called the man from Kerioth village, was one of the twelve disciples, Satan entered him.

⁴ Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize Jesus.

⁵ They were pleased that he wanted to do that. They offered to give him money for doing it.

⁶ So he agreed, and they gave him the money. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize Jesus when there was no crowd around him.

⁷ Then the day during the first part of the week-long festival of Unleavened Bread came, the day when the lambs for the Passover celebration had to be killed.

⁸ So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover celebration.”

⁹ They replied to him, “Where do you (sg) want us to prepare it?”

¹⁰ He said to the two of them, “Listen carefully. When you two enter the city, a man who is carrying a large jar of water will meet you. Follow him. When he enters a house,

¹¹ tell the owner of the house, ‘ Our teacher says that we(exc) should ask you(sg) to please show us the room that he arranged with you where he can eat the Passover meal with us, his disciples RHQ.’

¹² He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor of the house. It will be all set up for a meal. Prepare the meal for us there.”

¹³ So the two disciples went into the city. They found everything to be just like Jesus had told them. So they prepared the meal for the Passover celebration there.

¹⁴ When it was time MTY to eat the Passover meal, Jesus came and sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵ He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer and die.

¹⁶ I want you to know that I will not eat the Passover meal again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize what it represents.”

¹⁷ Then he took a cup of wine and thanked God for it. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.

¹⁸ I want you to know that from now on I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”

¹⁹ Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it into pieces and gave it to them to eat. He said, “This bread represents my body, which I am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on eating bread this way regularly to remember what I have done for you.”

²⁰ Similarly, after they had eaten the meal, he took another cup of wine. He said, “ The wine in MTY this cup represents my blood, which will soon flow from my body when I die. With this blood I will sign the new agreement that God is making with you.

²¹ But note that the one SYN who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!

²² It is certain that I, the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what God has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will ◄betray me/enable my enemies to seize me►!”

²³ Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”

²⁴ The apostles began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us will be the greatest when Jesus becomes king?”

²⁵ So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews enjoy showing that they are powerful. Yet they give themselves the title, ‘ones who help the people.’

²⁶ But you should not be like them! Instead, those who want God to consider them the greatest should act as though they were the youngest, since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves the others.

²⁷ Keep in mind who is the most important one RHQ. It is certainly the one who just sits at the table, not RHQ those who serve the meal. But I, your leader, have been an example for you by serving you while I have been among you.

²⁸ You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.

²⁹ So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you

³⁰ so that you can sit and eat and rule MET with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress (OR, distress you) so that you will not believe/trust in me anymore/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it MET.

³² But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you (sg) restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles to trust in me more!”

³³ Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you (sg) if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you (sg) to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”

³⁵ Then Jesus asked all of them, “After I sent you out to other villages, and you went without taking any money or a traveling bag or extra sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “ That's right, we(exc) did not lack anything.”

³⁶ Then, to show them that now many people would oppose them, (OR, to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves,) he said to them, “Now things will be different. So whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.

³⁷ Because, I now tell you, something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as though he were a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me in the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

³⁸ One of the disciples said, “Lord, look! We (exc) have two swords!” Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said, he replied to them, “That is enough talk about swords”!

³⁹ As Jesus left the city, he went, as he usually did, to Olive Tree Hill. His disciples went with him.

⁴⁰ When he came to the place where he often spent the night, he said to them, “Pray that God will help you whenever something tempts you.”

⁴¹ Then he went from them a distance of about thirty meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,

⁴² “ My Father, if you are willing to do it, force me to have to undergo these terrible things that are about to happen to me MTY. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”

⁴³ Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.

⁴⁴ He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.

⁴⁵ When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.

⁴⁶ He woke them and said to them, “◄I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?► RHQ Get up! Pray that God will help you whenever you are tempted {when something like this tempts you}!”

⁴⁷ While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came to him. Judas, even though he was one of the twelve disciples, was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus.

³ Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹ They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³ They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵ He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

¹⁹ He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰ Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²² The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

³³ He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵ He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”

³⁸ They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹ He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹ They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³ They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵ He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

¹⁹ He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰ Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²² The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

³³ He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵ He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”

³⁸ They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹ He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.

⁶ And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.

⁸ And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

⁹ And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

¹⁰ And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

¹¹ And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

¹⁴ And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

¹⁶ For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

¹⁹ And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁰ And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

²¹ But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

²² For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

²³ And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

²⁵ And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

²⁶ But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

²⁷ For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

²⁸ But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

²⁹ And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

³⁰ So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

⁴¹ And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

⁴² Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

⁴³ And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

⁴⁴ And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

⁴⁵ And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

⁴⁷ And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariote, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

⁵ And they were rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, in which the passover was to be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it.

⁹ But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he placed himself at table, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say unto you, that I will not eat any more at all of it until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And having received a cup, when he had given thanks he said, Take this and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹ And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table;

²² and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

²³ And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them which of them should be held to be the greatest.

²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

²⁷ For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

²⁸ But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat;

³² but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and sandals, did ye lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take it, in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;

³⁷ for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

⁴⁵ And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went, and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.

⁹ But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.

¹¹ And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?

¹² And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.

¹³ And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:

¹⁸ For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.

¹⁹ And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

²⁰ In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

²¹ But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.

²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.

²⁵ And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.

²⁶ But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.

²⁷ For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:

²⁸ And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:

²⁹ And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;

³⁰ That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

³³ Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

³⁴ And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:

³⁵ When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?

³⁶ But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn away from them a stone’s cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,

⁴² Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.

⁴⁴ And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.

³ Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

⁴ And he went off and spoke with the chief priests and captains about how he might betray Him to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and was seeking an opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the crowd.

⁷ Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

⁸ And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.”

⁹ So they said to Him, “Where do You desire that we shall prepare it?”

¹⁰ And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in.

¹¹ Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’

¹² And that man will show you a large, furnished upper room; there prepare it.”

¹³ So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, He reclined to eat, and the twelve apostles with Him.

¹⁵ Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

¹⁶ for I say to you, that no longer will I eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves;

¹⁸ for I say to you, that I will by no means drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

²⁰ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ Nevertheless behold, the hand of him that betrays Me is with Me on the table.

²² And indeed the Son of Man goes according to what is determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

²³ Then they began to discuss with one another, which of them might be the one who was about to do this.

²⁴ And there arose also a dispute among them, as to which one of them was the greatest.

²⁵ But He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But it is not this way with you; let the greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as he who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.

²⁸ “Now you are those who have remained with Me in My trials.

²⁹ And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,

³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

³³ But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

³⁴ Then He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

³⁵ And He said to them, “When I sent you without a money bag, and a knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise also a knapsack; and he who has no sword shall sell his garment and buy one.

³⁷ For I say to you that this which has been written must still be accomplished in Me—the saying, ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have a fulfillment.”

³⁸ So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹ And going out, He went to the Mount of Olives, according to His custom, and His disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰ And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if You will, remove this cup from Me—nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

⁴³ Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴ And being in agony, He prayed more fervently. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down onto the ground.

⁴⁵ And rising up from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

⁴⁶ Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise up and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

³ Then Satan entered Judas (the one surnamed Iscariot), who was numbered among the Twelve.

⁴ So he went off and conferred with the chief priests and officers about how he might betray Him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him silver coins.

⁶ So he promised, and started looking for an opportunity to betray Him to them, without a crowd.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, in which it was necessary to kill the Passover lamb.

⁸ And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹ So they said to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰ He said to them: “Note, upon entering the city a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Then you must say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

¹² He himself will show you a large upper room, all furnished; make preparations there.”

¹³ So off they went and found things just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, He reclined, and the twelve apostles with Him.

¹⁵ Then He said to them: “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ I tell you further that I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ And taking a cup He gave thanks and said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.

¹⁸ I tell you further that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ Then, after the meal, He took bread, gave thanks, broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

²⁰ He also took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ “But alas, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table!

²² To be sure, the Son of the Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

²³ (They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who was about to do this.)

²⁴ Now there had actually been a discussion among them as to which of them seemed to be greater.

²⁵ So He said to them: “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’.

²⁶ But not so with you—rather let the greater among you become as the younger, and he who leads as he who serves.

²⁷ Who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? Yet I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ However, you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,

³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom; also you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel!”

³¹ Then the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Indeed Satan has asked for you (pl) so as to sift you like wheat.

³² But I have prayed for you (sg) so that your faith not fail completely; so you, when you have recovered, strengthen your brothers.”

³³ But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ So He said, “I say to you, Peter, no rooster can crow today before you deny three times that you know me!”

³⁵ Then He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ So He said to them: “But now, he who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword must sell his garment and buy one.

³⁷ Because I say to you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was classed with the lawless’; and because the things concerning me have an end.”

³⁸ So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹ Then going out He went to the Mount of Olives, as His custom was, and His disciples followed Him.

⁴⁰ When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, so as not to enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if you would just remove this cup from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done!”

⁴³ Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴ And being in anguish He prayed with total concentration; then His sweat became like clots of blood, falling to the ground.

⁴⁵ When He rose up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

⁴⁶ He said to them: “Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, that you may not enter into temptation!”

⁴⁷ But while He was still speaking—wow, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them! He approached Jesus to kiss Him (he had given them this sign, “Whomever I kiss, it is he”).

³ Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples.

⁴ He went and discussed with the chief priests and guard officers how he could betray Jesus.

⁵ They were delighted, and offered him money.

⁶ He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to hand over Jesus when a crowd would not be there.

⁷ The Day of Unleavened Bread arrived when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

⁸ Jesus sent Peter and John, telling them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”

⁹ They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for it?”

¹⁰ He replied, “When you enter the city you'll meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him and go into the house he enters.

¹¹ Tell the owner of the house that the Teacher asks you, ‘Where is the dining room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’

¹² He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”

¹³ They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.

¹⁴ When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,

¹⁵ “I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.

¹⁶ I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

¹⁸ I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ He picked up some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it into pieces and gave it to them. “This is my body which is given for you; do this in order to remember me,” Jesus told them.

²⁰ In the same way after they had finished supper, he picked up the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement in my blood which is poured out for you.”

²¹ “In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at the table.

²² For it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”

²³ They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.

²⁴ At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.

²⁵ Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But it should not be so with you! Whoever is highest among you should be like the lowest, and the leader should be like a servant.

²⁷ Who is greater—the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ You have stayed with me throughout my trials.

²⁹ And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to me,

³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ “Simon, Simon—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,

³² but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”

³³ Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

³⁵ Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without money, without a bag, and without an extra pair of sandals, did you lack anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.

³⁶ “But now, if you have money you should take it, as well as a bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

³⁷ I tell you that this statement in Scripture about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted with the wicked.’ What was said about me is now being fulfilled.”

³⁸ “Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.

³⁹ Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples.

⁴⁰ When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”

⁴¹ Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.

⁴² “Father,” he prayed, “if you're willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want.”

⁴³ Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.

⁴⁴ In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.

⁴⁵ He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.

⁴⁶ “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas went up to Jesus to kiss him.

³ Then entred Satan into Iudas, who was called Iscariot, and was of the nomber of the twelue.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the hie Priestes and captaines, how he might betray him to them.

⁵ So they were glad, and agreed to giue him money.

⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunitie to betraye him vnto them, when the people were away.

⁷ Then came the day of vnleauened bread, when the Passeouer must be sacrificed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and Iohn, saying, Go and prepare vs the Passeouer, that we may eate it.

⁹ And they saide to him, Where wilt thou, that we prepare it?

¹⁰ Then he said vnto them, Beholde, when ye be entred into the citie, there shall a man meete you, bearing a pitcher of water: folowe him into the house that he entreth in,

¹¹ And say vnto the good man of the house, The Master saith vnto thee, Where is the lodging where I shall eate my Passeouer with my disciples?

¹² Then he shall shewe you a great hie chamber trimmed: there make it ready.

¹³ So they went, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer.

¹⁴ And when the houre was come, hee sate downe, and the twelue Apostles with him.

¹⁵ Then he saide vnto them, I haue earnestly desired to eate this Passeouer with you, before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say vnto you, Hencefoorth I will not eate of it any more, vntill it bee fulfilled in the kingdome of God.

¹⁷ And hee tooke the cup, and gaue thankes, and said, Take this, and deuide it among you,

¹⁸ For I say vnto you, I will not drinke of the fruite of the vine, vntill the kingdome of God be come.

¹⁹ And he tooke bread, and when he had giuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue to them, saying, This is my body, which is giuen for you: doe this in the remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also after supper he tooke the cup, saying, This cup is that newe Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ Yet beholde, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.

²² And truely the Sonne of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man, by whom he is betrayed.

²³ Then they began to enquire among themselues which of them it should be, that should do that.

²⁴ And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seeme to be ye greatest.

²⁵ But hee saide vnto them, The Kings of the Gentiles reigne ouer them, and they that beare rule ouer them, are called bountifull.

²⁶ But yee shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serueth.

²⁷ For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serueth? Is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serueth.

²⁸ And yee are they which haue continued with me in my tentations.

²⁹ Therefore I appoint vnto you a kingdome, as my Father hath appointed vnto me,

³⁰ That ye may eate, and drinke at my table in my kingdome, and sit on seates, and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord saide, Simon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desired you, to winowe you as wheate.

³² But I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not: therefore when thou art conuerted, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said vnto him, Lord, I am ready to goe with thee into prison, and to death.

³⁴ But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cocke shall not crowe this day, before thou hast thrise denied that thou knewest me.

³⁵ And he saide vnto them, When I sent you without bagge, and scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Then he said to them, But nowe he that hath a bagge, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and hee that hath none, let him sell his coate, and buy a sworde.

³⁷ For I say vnto you, That yet the same which is written, must be perfourmed in me, Euen with the wicked was he nombred: for doubtlesse those things which are written of me, haue an ende.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, beholde, here are two swordes. And he said vnto them, It is ynough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the mount of Oliues: and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when hee came to the place, hee said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into tentation.

⁴¹ And he was drawen aside from them about a stones cast, and kneeled downe, and prayed,

⁴² Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cuppe from mee: neuerthelesse, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And there appeared an Angell vnto him from heauen, comforting him.

⁴⁴ But being in an agonie, hee prayed more earnestly: and his sweate was like drops of blood, trickling downe to the ground.

⁴⁵ And he rose vp from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heauinesse.

⁴⁶ And he said vnto them, Why sleepe ye? rise and pray, least ye enter into tentation.

⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, beholde, a companie, and he that was called Iudas one of the twelue, went before them, and came neere vnto Iesus to kisse him.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

¹¹ And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed.

²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

²⁸ Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

³⁷ For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

³¹ “Simon, Simon, Satan asked God about you men, so that he can test you hard. I have begged God for you, Simon, that you should believe God continually. When you have changed direction to return to me in order to follow me, teach those others also they should follow me properly.”

³ And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he agreed with them, and sought a good opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed;

⁸ and he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat it.

⁹ And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we make it ready?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Lo! when ye have entered the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goeth in;

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.

¹³ And they went and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Earnestly have I desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say to you, that I shall eat it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall have come.

¹⁹ And he took a loaf, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.

²¹ But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.

²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that was about to do this.

²⁴ And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule as lords over them, and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.

²⁷ For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.

²⁸ Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.

²⁹ And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me;

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,

³⁶ But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: “And he was reckoned among transgressors.” For that which concerneth me also hath an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to him, It is enough!

³⁹ And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that ye may not enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw; and kneeling down he prayed,

⁴² saying, Father, if thou art willing to remove this cup from me—yet not my will, but thine be done!

⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.

⁴⁵ And rising up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶ and said to them, Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray that ye may not enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ While he was yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;

⁴ and he went and discussed with the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.

⁵ They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.

⁶ So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.

⁷ When the day of the Festival of the unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lambs had to be killed,

⁸ Jesus sent forward Peter and John, saying to them, “Go and make preparations for our eating the Passover.”

⁹ “Where do you wish us to make preparations?” they asked.

¹⁰ “Listen,” he answered, “when you have got into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into whatever house he enters;

¹¹ and you will say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher says to you — Where is the room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?’

¹² The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”

¹³ So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵ “I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I tell you that I will not eat it again, until it has had its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Then, on receiving a cup, after saying the thanksgiving, he said, “Take this and share it amongst you.

¹⁸ For I tell you that I will not, after today, drink of the juice of the grape, until the kingdom of God has come.”

¹⁹ Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words, “This is my body.

²¹ Yet see! The hand of the man who is betraying me is beside me on the table!

²² True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!”

²³ Then they began questioning one another which of them it could be who was going to do this.

²⁴ And a dispute arose amongst them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

²⁵ Jesus, however, said, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their oppressors are styled ‘Benefactors.’

²⁶ But with you it must not be so. No, let the greatest amongst you become like the youngest, and him who leads like him who serves.

²⁷ Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am amongst you as one who serves.

²⁸ You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;

²⁹ and, just as my Father has assigned me a kingdom, I assign you places,

³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen the others.”

³³ “Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”

³⁴ “I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow today until you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”

³⁵ Then he said to them all, “When I sent you out as my messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.

³⁶ “Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.

³⁷ For, I tell you, that passage of scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted amongst the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfilment.”

³⁸ “Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.

³⁹ Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.

⁴⁰ And, when he reached the spot, he said to them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”

⁴¹ Then he withdrew about a stone's throw, and knelt down and began to pray.

⁴² “Father,” he said, “if it is your pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but your be done.”

⁴³ Presently there appeared to him an angel from heaven, who strengthened him.

⁴⁴ And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.

⁴⁵ Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ “Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray so that you don't fall into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;

³ Now Satan took possession of Judas, who was known as Iscariot, and who belonged to the Twelve;

⁴ and he went and discussed with the chief priests and officers in charge at the Temple the best way of betraying Jesus to them.

⁵ They were glad of this, and agreed to pay him.

⁶ So Judas assented, and looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them, in the absence of a crowd.

¹² The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations.”

¹³ So Peter and John went on, and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the time came, Jesus took his place at the table, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵ “I have most earnestly wished,” he said, “to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

²⁷ Which is the greater — the master at the table or his servant? Is not it the master at the table? Yet I myself am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ You are the men who have stood by me in my trials;

²⁹ and, just as my Father has assigned me a kingdom, I assign you places,

³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on twelve thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon! Simon! listen. Satan demanded leave to sift you all like wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. And you, when you have returned to me, are to strengthen the others.”

³³ “Master,” said Peter, “with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.”

³⁴ “I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “the cock will not crow today until you have disowned all knowledge of me three times.”

³⁵ Then he said to them all, “When I sent you out as my messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No; nothing,” they answered.

³⁶ “Now, however,” he said, “he who has a purse must take it and his bag as well; and he who has not must sell his cloak and buy a sword.

³⁷ For, I tell you, that passage of scripture must be fulfilled in me, which says — ‘He was counted among the godless’; indeed all that refers to me is finding its fulfillment.”

³⁸ “Master,” they exclaimed, “look, here are two swords!” “Enough!” said Jesus.

³⁹ Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.

⁴⁰ And, when he reached the spot, he said to them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”

⁴¹ Then he withdrew about a stone's throw, and knelt down and began to pray.

⁴² “Father,” he said, “if it is your pleasure, spare me this cup; only, not my will but your be done.”

⁴³ Presently there appeared to him an angel from heaven, who strengthened him.

⁴⁴ And, as his anguish became intense, he prayed still more earnestly, while his sweat was like great drops of blood falling on the ground.

⁴⁵ Then he rose from praying, and came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ “Why are you asleep?” he asked them. “Rise and pray so that you don't fall into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;

³ Satan Adversary entered into Judas Praised, who was also called Iscariot Dagger-man, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ The day of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· came (Nissan 14), on which the Pesac ·Passover· lamb must be sacrificed.

⁸ He sent Peter Rock and John Yah is gracious, saying, “Go and prepare our Seder ·Order / Passover meal·, that we may eat.”

⁹ They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Pesac ·Passover· meal with my disciples?”’

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³ They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Seder · Order / Passover meal·.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵ He said to them, “I have earnestly epithumia ·coveted, desired· to eat this Seder · Order / Passover meal· with you before I suffer and die!

¹⁶ For I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

¹⁹ He took matzah ·unleavened bread·, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰ Likewise, he took the (third) cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²² The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is not it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as 'Avi ·my Father· conferred on me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel God prevails.”

³¹ The Lord said, “Simeon Hearing, Simeon Hearing, behold, Satan Adversary asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your trusting faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

³³ He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ He said, “I tell you, Peter Rock, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵ He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

³⁸ They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹ He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas Praised, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua Salvation to phileo · show affectionate love, show approval, kiss· him.

³⁵ Jesus said to his followers, “Remember that time I told you to go to other communities to tell people God’s story, and I told you not to take a bag, or money or extra shoes? Did you get the things you needed anyway, at that time? Or did you go short of something?” They said, “No, we didn’t go short of anything.”

³⁶ Then Jesus said, “But it is different now. Listen, if you have a bag, or money, take it with you. And you will need a long knife to fight with, too. So if you haven’t got one, sell your coat to get some money and buy one.

³⁷ You see, something is going to happen now that is in God’s book. A long time ago God got his men to write this, ‘The people reckoned God’s man was bad, and they treated him the way they treat bad criminals.’ Listen, I’m telling you, they are going to do that now. They are going to do it to me.”

³⁸ They said, “Sir, we’ve got 2 long knives here.” Jesus said, “That’s enough. We can’t talk about it any more.”

³ Then entred Satan into Iudas whose syr name was Iscariot (which was of the nombre of the twelve)

⁴ and he went his waye and communed with the hye Prestes and officers how he might betraye him to them.

⁵ And they were glad: and promysed to geve him money.

⁶ And he consented and sought oportunite to betraye him vnto them when the people were awaye.

⁷ Then came the daye of swete breed when of necessite the esterlambe must be offered.

⁸ And he sent Peter and Iohn sayinge: Goo and prepare vs the ester lambe that we maye eate.

⁹ They sayde to him. Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ And he sayd vnto them. Beholde when ye be entred into the cite ther shall a man mete you bearinge a pitcher of water him folowe into the same housse that he entreth in

¹¹ and saye vnto the good man of the housse. The master sayeth vnto the: where is the gest chamber where I shall eate myne ester lambe with my disciples?

¹² And he shall shew you a greate parloure paved. Ther make redy.

¹³ And they went and foude as he had sayd vnto the: and made redy the ester lambe.

¹⁴ And when the houre was come he sate doune and the twelve Apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: I have inwardly desyred to eate this ester lambe with you before that I suffre.

¹⁶ For I saye vnto you: hence forthe I will not eate of it eny moore vntill it be fulfilled in the kingdome of God.

¹⁷ And he toke the cup and gave thankes and sayde. Take this and devyde it amonge you.

¹⁸ For I saye vnto you: I will not drinke of the frute of the vyne vntill the kingdome of God be come.

¹⁹ And he toke breed gave thankes and gave to them sayinge: This is my body which is geven for you. This do in the remembraunce of me.

²⁰ Lykewyse also when they had supped he toke the cup sayinge: This cup is the newe testament in my bloud which shall for you be shedde.

²¹ Yet beholde the honde of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And the sonne of man goeth as it is appoynted: But wo be to that man by whom he is betrayed.

²³ And they began to enquyre amonge them selves which of them it shuld be that shuld do that.

²⁴ And ther was a stryfe amonge the which of them shuld be taken for the greatest.

²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of the getyls raygne over them and they that beare rule over them are called gracious lordes.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you shalbe as the yongest: and he that is chefe shalbe as the minister.

²⁷ For whether is greater he that sitteth at meate: or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meate? And I am amonge you as he that ministreth.

²⁸ Ye are they which have bidden with me in my temptacions.

²⁹ And I apoynt vnto you a kyngdome as my father hath appoynted to me:

³⁰ that ye maye eate and drynke at my table in my kyngdome and sit on seates and iudge the twelve tribes of Israell.

³¹ And the Lorde sayde: Simon Simon beholde Satan hath desired you to sifte you as it were wheate:

³² but I have prayed for the that thy faith fayle not. And when thou arte converted strengthe thy brethren.

³³ And he sayd vnto him. Lorde I am redy to go with the in to preson and to deth.

³⁴ And he sayde: I tell the Peter the cocke shall not crowe this daye tyll thou have thryse denyed that thou knewest me.

³⁵ And he sayde vnto them: when I sent you with out wallet and scripe and shoes? lacked ye eny thinge? And they sayd no.

³⁶ And he sayde to them: but nowe he that hath a wallet let him take it vp and lykewyse his scrippe. And he that hath no swearde let him sell his coote and bye one.

³⁷ For I saye vnto you that yet that which is written must be performed in me: even with the wycked was he nombred. For those thinges which are written of me have an ende.

³⁸ And they sayde: Lorde beholde here are two sweardes. And he sayde vnto them: it is ynough.

³⁹ And he came out and went as he was wote to mounte olivete. And the disciples folowed him.

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place he sayde to the: praye lest ye fall into temptacion.

⁴¹ And he gate him selfe from them about a stones cast and kneled doune and prayed

⁴² sayinge: Father yf thou wilt withdrawe this cup from me. Neverthelesse not my will but thyne be be fulfilled.

⁴³ And ther appered an angell vnto him from heaven confortinge him.

⁴⁴ And he was in an agonye and prayed somwhat longer. And hys sweate was lyke droppes of bloud tricklynge doune to the grounde.

⁴⁵ And he rose vp from prayer and came to his disciples and foude them slepinge for sorowe

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Why slepe ye? Ryse and praye lest ye fall into temptacion.

⁴⁷ Whill he yet spake: beholde ther came a company and he that was called Iudas one of the twelve wet before them and preased nye vnto Iesus to kysse him.

³ Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

⁴ Judas went to the chief priests and captains and discussed with them how he would betray Jesus to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

⁸ So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it.”

⁹ They said to him, “Where do you want us to make preparations?”

¹⁰ He answered them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.

¹¹ Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?”'

¹² He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”

¹³ So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.

¹⁴ When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.

¹⁵ Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

²⁰ He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.

²² For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.

²⁴ Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.

²⁶ But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹ I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.

³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers.”

³³ Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me.”

³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?” They answered, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

³⁷ For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'He was counted with the lawless ones.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled.”

³⁸ Then they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹ Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

⁴⁰ When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”

⁴³ Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,

⁴⁶ and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,

³ Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.

⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.

¹¹ And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶ For I say to you, I will not any more eat of it until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it , and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²² And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!

²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as he that serveth.

²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹ And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me;

³⁰ That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison, and to death.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it , and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed.

⁴² Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow:

⁴⁶ And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

³ Satan entered into Judah, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵ They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶ He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸ Yeshua sent Peter and Yochanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹ They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Rabbi says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³ They went, found things as Yeshua had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve emissaries.

¹⁵ He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”

¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.”

¹⁹ He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰ Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²² The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to question among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵ He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶ But not so with you. Rather, the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸ “But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹ The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”

³³ He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵ He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”

³⁸ They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹ He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹ He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴² saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.

³ Satan entered into Judah, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.

⁴ He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went, and spake with the princes of priests, and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.

⁵ And they joyed, and made covenant to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people.

⁷ But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need, that the sacrifice of pask were slain.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, and said, Go ye, and make ye ready to us the pask, that we eat.

⁹ And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make ready?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; pursue ye him into the house, into which he entereth.

¹¹ And ye shall say to the husband-man of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber, where I shall eat the pask with my disciples?

¹² And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the pask.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat at the meat, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer;

¹⁶ for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God.

¹⁷ And when he had taken the cup, he did graces or thankings, and said, Take ye, and part ye among you;

¹⁸ for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind or of the generation of this vine, till the realm of God come.

¹⁹ And when he had taken bread, he did thankings or graces, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me or into my commemoration.

²⁰ He took also the cup or the chalice, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you.

²¹ Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.

²² And man’s Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.

²³ And they began to seek among themselves, who it was of them, that was to do this thing.

²⁴ And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.

²⁵ But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers,

²⁶ but ye not so; but he that is the greatest among you, be made as a younger or as the younger, and he that is a before-goer, as a servant.

²⁷ For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle or in the midst of you, as he that ministereth.

²⁸ And ye it be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations;

²⁹ and I assign or dispose to you, as my Father hath assigned or disposed to me, a realm.

³⁰ that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel.

³¹ And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked you, that he should riddle you as wheat;

³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted, confirm thy brethren.

³³ Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee.

³⁴ And he said, I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow today, till thou thrice forsake that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without satchel, and scrip, and shoes, whether anything failed to you? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Therefore he said to them, But now he that hath a satchel, take also a scrip; and he that hath none, sell his coat, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you, that yet it behooveth that thing that is written to be fulfilled in me, And he is areckoned with wicked men; for those things that be of me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, lo! two swords here. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives or of Olivet; and the disciples pursued him.

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone’s cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,

⁴² and said, Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine, or not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him.

⁴⁴ And he was made in agony or in anguish, and prayed the longer or prayed longer; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.

⁴⁵ And when he was risen from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, What, sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came nigh to Jesus, to kiss him.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went, and spake with the princes of (the) priests, (or And he went, and spoke with the high priests), and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.

⁵ And they joyed, and made (a) covenant to give him money. (And they rejoiced, and made a contract to give him money.)

⁶ And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people.

⁷ But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need(ful), that the sacrifice of pask were slain. (And the days of Unleavened Bread came, in which it was needed, that the Passover sacrifice was killed.)

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, and said, Go ye, and make ye ready to us the pask, that we eat. (And he sent off Peter and John, saying, Go, and prepare the Passover for us, so that we can eat it.)

⁹ And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make (it) ready? (And they said, Where do you want us to prepare it?)

¹⁰ And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; (pur)sue ye him into the house (or follow him into the house), into which he entereth.

¹¹ And ye shall say to the husbandman of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber, where I shall eat the pask with my disciples? (And ye shall say to the head of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the room, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?)

¹² And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye (it) ready (or and prepare it there).

¹³ And (so) they went, and found (it) as he said to them, and they made ready the pask (or and they prepared the Passover).

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat at the meat (or he sat down for the meal), and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer; (And he said to them, With great desire I have wanted to eat this Passover with you, before that I suffer;)

¹⁶ for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God. (for I tell you, that from this time on I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.)

¹⁷ And when he had taken the cup, he did graces, or he did thankings, and said, Take ye, and part ye among you; (And when he had taken the cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it among you;)

¹⁸ for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind or of the generation of this vine, till the realm of God come (or until the Kingdom of God shall come).

¹⁹ And when he had taken bread, he did thankings, or he did graces, (or he gave thanks), and brake (it), and gave (it) to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me or into my commemoration.

²⁰ He took also the cup or the chalice, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you, (or This cup is the new covenant sealed with my blood, that shall be shed for you).

²¹ Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.

²² And man’s Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.

²³ And they began to seek among themselves, who it was of them, that was to do this thing.

²⁴ And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be (the) greatest.

²⁵ But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them (or Kings of the Gentiles be their lords), and they that have power on them be called good doers,

²⁶ but ye (be) not so (or but it be not so with you); but he that is the greatest among you, be made as a younger or as the younger, and he that is a before-goer, as a servant.

²⁷ For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle or in the midst of you, as he that ministereth. (For who is greater, he who sitteth at the meal, or he who serveth it? whether not he who sitteth at the meal? But I am in the midst of you, like he who serveth.)

²⁸ And ye it be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations; (And ye it be, who have remained with me during my tests and trials;)

²⁹ and I assign to you, as my Father hath assigned to me, a realm (or a Kingdom). and I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a realm.

³⁰ that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel. (so that ye will eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.)

³¹ And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked (for) you, that he should riddle you as wheat (or so that he could sift you like wheat);

³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted or and thou converted sometime, confirm thy brethren, (or and after thou hast returned to thy right mind, that thou strengthen thy brothers).

³³ Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee. +Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, into prison and into death.

³⁹ And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives or the hill of Olivet; and the disciples (pur)sued him. (And he went out, and as was his custom, went over to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.)

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation, (or Pray ye, lest ye enter into, or be put to, the test).

⁴¹ And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone’s cast (or as much as a stone’s throw); and he kneeled, and prayed,

⁴² and said, Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine, or nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him.

⁴⁴ And he was made in agony or in anguish, and prayed the longer or (and) prayed longer; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth (or and his sweat was made like drops of blood running down onto the ground).

⁴⁵ And when he was risen from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, What, sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation. (And he said to them, Why do ye sleep? Rise, and pray, so that ye do not enter into, or be put to, the test.)

⁴⁷ Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came nigh to Jesus, to kiss him.

²⁰ He took also the cuppe, aftir that he hadde soupid, and seide, This cuppe is the newe testament in my blood, that schal be sched for you.

²¹ Netheles lo! the hoond of hym that bitraieth me, is with me at the table.

³ And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

⁴ and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

⁵ and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money,

⁶ and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to deliver him up to them without tumult.

⁷ And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed,

⁸ and he sent Peter and John, saying, 'Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;'

⁹ and they said to him, 'Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'

¹⁰ And he said to them, 'Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in,

¹¹ and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹² and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'

¹³ and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴ And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,

¹⁵ and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

¹⁶ for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'

¹⁷ And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to yourselves,

¹⁸ for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'

¹⁹ And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to remembrance of me.'

²⁰ In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

²¹ 'But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table,

²² and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'

²³ And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

²⁴ And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.

²⁵ And he said to them, 'The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁶ but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

²⁷ for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

²⁸ 'And ye — ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹ and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰ that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

³¹ And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

³³ And he said to him, 'Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;'

³⁴ and he said, 'I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

³⁵ And he said to them, 'When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, 'Nothing.'

³⁶ Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take it up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

³⁷ for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'

³⁸ And they said, 'Sir, lo, here are two swords;' and he said to them, 'It is sufficient.'

³⁹ And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

⁴⁰ and having come to the place, he said to them, 'Pray ye not to enter into temptation.'

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

⁴² saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me — ;but, not my will, but Thine be done.' —

⁴³ And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven strengthening him;

⁴⁴ and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶ and he said to them, 'Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'

⁴⁷ And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,
