   Matthew Chapter 26   
      
   1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he   
   said unto his disciples,   
      
   2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son   
   of man is betrayed to be crucified.   
      
   3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the   
   elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called   
   Caiaphas,   
      
   4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.   
      
   5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the   
   people.   
      
   6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,   
      
   7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious   
   ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.   
      
   8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what   
   purpose is this waste?   
      
   9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.   
      
   10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the   
   woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.   
      
   11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.   
      
   12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for   
   my burial.   
      
   13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in   
   the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be   
   told for a memorial of her.   
      
   14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief   
   priests,   
      
   15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto   
   you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.   
      
   16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.   
      
   17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came   
   to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to   
   eat the passover?   
      
   18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The   
   Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house   
   with my disciples.   
      
   19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made   
   ready the passover.   
      
   20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.   
      
   21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you   
   shall betray me.   
      
   22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say   
   unto him, Lord, is it I?   
      
   23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the   
   dish, the same shall betray me.   
      
   24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man   
   by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he   
   had not been born.   
      
   25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I?   
   He said unto him, Thou hast said.   
      
   26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake   
   it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.   
      
   27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,   
   Drink ye all of it;   
      
   28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for   
   the remission of sins.   
      
   29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the   
   vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.   
      
   30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.   
      
   31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me   
   this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep   
   of the flock shall be scattered abroad.   
      
   32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.   
      
   33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended   
   because of thee, yet will I never be offended.   
      
   34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before   
   the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.   
      
   35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not   
   deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.   
      
   36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith   
   unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.   
      
   37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to   
   be sorrowful and very heavy.   
      
   38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto   
   death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.   
      
   39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed,   
   saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:   
   nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.   
      
   40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith   
   unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?   
      
   41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed   
   is willing, but the flesh is weak.   
      
   42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father,   
   if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.   
      
   43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.   
      
   44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time,   
   saying the same words.   
      
   45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now,   
   and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is   
   betrayed into the hands of sinners.   
      
   46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.   
      
   47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with   
   him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and   
   elders of the people.   
      
   48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall   
   kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.   
      
   49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.   
      
   50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came   
   they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.   
      
   51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his   
   hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and   
   smote off his ear.   
      
   52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for   
   all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.   
      
   53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall   
   presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?   
      
   54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?   
      
   55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as   
   against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with   
   you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.   
      
   56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be   
   fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.   
      
   57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the   
   high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.   
      
   58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and   
   went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.   
      
   59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false   
   witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
