Matthew 26:14–46

^14oThen one of the twelve, called ^pJudas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, ¹⁵And said unto them, ^qWhat will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they ^rcovenanted with him for ^sthirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

^17tNow ^uthe 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? ¹⁸And he said, Go into the city ^wto such a man, and say unto him, ^xThe Master saith, ^yMy time is at hand; I will ^zkeep the passover at thy house with my disciples. ¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus had ^aappointed them; and they made ready the passover.

²⁰Now ^bwhen the even was come, ^che sat down with the twelve. ²¹And as they did eat, he said, ^dVerily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. ²²And they were exceeding sorrowful, and ^ddbegan every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? ²³And he answered and said, ^eHe that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. ^24fThe Son of man goeth ^gas it is written of him: but ^fhwoe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it ⁱhad been good for that man if he had not been born. ²⁵Then Judas, which betrayed him, ^kanswered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, ^lThou hast said.

^26llAnd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and ^||blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; ^mthis is my body. ²⁷And he took the cup, and ⁿgave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; ²⁸For ^mthis is my ^oblood of the ^pnew testament, which is shed for ^qmany ^rfor the remission of sins. ²⁹But ^sI say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you ^tin my Father’s kingdom.

^30uAnd when they had sung an ^||hymn, ^wthey went out into ^xthe mount of Olives. ³¹Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be ^yoffended because of me this night: for it is written, I will ^zsmite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock ^ashall be scattered abroad. ³²But after I am risen again, ^bI will go before you into Galilee. ³³Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, ^cyet will I never be offended. ³⁴Jesus said unto him, ^dVerily I say unto thee, That this night, ^ebefore the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. ³⁵Peter said unto him, ^fThough I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

^36gThen cometh Jesus with them unto a place called ^hGethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. ³⁷And he took with him Peter and ⁱthe two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and ^jvery heavy. ³⁸Then saith he unto them, ^kMy soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and ^lwatch with me. ³⁹And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and ^mprayed, saying, ⁿO my Father, if it be possible, let this ^ocup pass from me: nevertheless ^pnot as I will, ^qbut as thou wilt. ⁴⁰And ^rhe cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, ^sWhat, could ye not ^lwatch with me one hour? ^41tWatch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: ^uthe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ⁴²He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, ^pif this ^ocup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, ^qthy will be done. ⁴³And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were ^xheavy. ⁴⁴And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. ⁴⁵Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on ^ynow, and take your rest: behold, ^zthe hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
