The Plot to Kill Jesus
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
The Plot to Kill Jesus
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples,
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples,
“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
At that same time the leading priests and elders were meeting at the residence of Caiaphas, the high priest,
plotting how to capture Jesus secretly and kill him.
“But not during the Passover celebration,” they agreed, “or the people may riot.”
But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy.
The Anointing at Bethany
And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.
The disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a waste!” they said.
But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
“It could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”
For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?
But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.
You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.
For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.
She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial.
For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.
I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
and asked, “How much will you pay me to betray Jesus to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver.
and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.
From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
The Last Supper
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples
Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
“As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’”
And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”
So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there.
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.
While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”
Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”
Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?”
And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me.
He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.
For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?”
And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”
And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”
Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”
He said to him, “You have said it.”
He said to him, “You have said it.”
As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”
And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it,
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
Mark my words — I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”
But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.”
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter — this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
“No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.
Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples.
And so said all the disciples.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.”
The Prayer in the Garden
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”
He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed.
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?
Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?
Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open.
And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again.
So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look — the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!”
Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people.
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane
And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.”
Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.”
So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.
Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.”
Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, slashing off his ear.
And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.
Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?”
How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”
Then Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day.
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.
But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
Jesus before the Council
Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and the elders had gathered.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end.
But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward
who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?”
And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?”
But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God — tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy.
Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!
What is your verdict?”
“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”
“Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!”
What do you think?”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
Then they began to spit in Jesus’ face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him,
jeering, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?”
saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Peter Denies Jesus
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came over and said to him, “You were one of those with Jesus the Galilean.”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
But Peter denied it in front of everyone. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Again Peter denied it, this time with an oath. “I don’t even know the man,” he said.
But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”
A little later some of the other bystanders came over to Peter and said, “You must be one of them; we can tell by your Galilean accent.”
And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you.”
Peter swore, “A curse on me if I’m lying — I don’t know the man!” And immediately the rooster crowed.
Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he went away, weeping bitterly.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.
