^{1 Ref} Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

^{2 Ref} And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.

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

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

^{5 Ref} And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

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

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

^{8 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

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

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

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

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

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

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

^{18 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

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

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

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

^{25 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

^{29 Ref} and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,

^{30 Ref} 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 Ref} Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:

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

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

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

^{35 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

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

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

^{41 Ref} And he was parted from them about a stone's cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,

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

^{43 Ref} And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

^{44 Ref} 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 Ref} And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

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