^{14 Ref} Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

^{15 Ref} and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

^{16 Ref} And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him `unto them.'

^{17 Ref} Now on the first `day' of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

^{18 Ref} And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

^{19 Ref} And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

^{20 Ref} Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;

^{21 Ref} and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

^{22 Ref} And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?

^{23 Ref} And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

^{24 Ref} The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

^{25 Ref} And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.

^{26 Ref} And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

^{27 Ref} And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

^{28 Ref} for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

^{29 Ref} But I say unto you, I shall 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 Ref} And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

^{31 Ref} Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

^{32 Ref} But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

^{33 Ref} But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

^{34 Ref} Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

^{35 Ref} Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, `yet' will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

^{36 Ref} Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

^{37 Ref} And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.

^{38 Ref} Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.

^{39 Ref} And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

^{40 Ref} And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

^{41 Ref} Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

^{42 Ref} Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

^{43 Ref} And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

^{44 Ref} And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

^{45 Ref} Then cometh he to the 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 Ref} Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
