The last supper
1THE festival of Unleavened Bread, known as Passover, was approaching,
2and the chief priests and the scribes were trying to devise some means of doing away with him; for they were afraid of the people.
3Then Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, one of the Twelve;
4and he went to the chief priests and temple guards to discuss ways of betraying Jesus to them.
5They were glad and undertook to pay him a sum of money.
6He agreed, and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them without collecting a crowd.
7Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lambs had to be slaughtered,
8and Jesus sent off Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover supper for us.”
9“Where would you like us to make the preparations?” they asked.
10He replied, “As soon as you set foot in the city a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house that he enters
11and give this message to the householder: ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the room in which I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
12He will show you a large room upstairs all set out: make the preparations there.'
13They went and found everything as he had said. So they prepared for Passover.
14When the hour came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him;
15and he said to them, “How I have longed to eat this Passover with you before my death!
16For I tell you, never again shall I eat it until the time when it finds its fulfilment in the kingdom of God.”
17Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;
18for I tell you, from this moment I shall not drink the fruit of the vine until the time when the kingdom of God comes.”
19Then he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, and gave it to them with the words: “This is my body.
20[[EMPTY]]
21“Even now my betrayer is here, his hand with mine on the table.
22For the Son of Man is going his appointed way; but alas for that man by whom he is betrayed!”
23At that they began to ask among themselves which of them it could possibly be who was to do this.
24Then a dispute began as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
25But he said, “Among the Gentiles, kings lord it over their subjects; and those in authority are given the title Benefactor.
26Not so with you: on the contrary, the greatest among you must bear himself like the youngest, the one who rules like one who serves.
27For who is greater -- the one who sits at table or the servant who waits on him? Surely the one who sits at table. Yet I am among you like a servant.
28“You have stood firmly by me in my times of trial;
29and I now entrust to you the kingdom which my Father entrusted to me;
30in my kingdom you shall eat and drink at my table and sit on thrones as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel.
31“Simon, Simon, take heed: Satan has been given leave to sift all of you like wheat;
32but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail; and when you are restored, give strength to your brothers.”
33“Lord,” he replied, “I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow tonight until you have denied three times over that you know me.”
35He said to them, “When I sent you out barefoot without purse or pack, were you ever short of anything?” “No,” they answered.
36“It is different now,” he said; “whoever has a purse had better take it with him, and his pack too; and if he has no sword, let him sell his cloak to buy one.
37For scripture says, ‘And he was reckoned among transgressors,’ and this, I tell you, must be fulfilled in me; indeed, all that is written of me is reaching its fulfilment.”
38“Lord,” they said, “we have two swords here.” “Enough!” he replied.
39THEN he went out and made his way as usual to the mount of Olives, accompanied by the disciples.
40When he reached the place he said to them, “Pray that you may be spared the test.”
41He himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray:
42“Father, if it be your will, take this cup from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.”
43And now there appeared to him an angel from heaven bringing him strength,
44and in anguish of spirit he prayed the more urgently; and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples he found them asleep, worn out by grief.
46“Why are you sleeping?” he said. “Rise and pray that you may be spared the test.”
The trial and crucifixion of Jesus
47WHILE he was still speaking a crowd appeared with the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, at their head. He came up to Jesus to kiss him;
48but Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49When his followers saw what was coming, they said, “Lord, shall we use our swords?”
50And one of them struck at the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “Stop! No more of that!” Then he touched the man's ear and healed him.
52Turning to the chief priests, the temple guards, and the elders, who had come to seize him, he said, “Do you take me for a robber, that you have come out with swords and cudgels?
53Day after day, I have been with you in the temple, and you did not raise a hand against me. But this is your hour -- when darkness reigns.”
54Then they arrested him and led him away. They brought him to the high priest's house, and Peter followed at a distance.
55They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat round it, and Peter sat among them.
56A serving-maid who saw him sitting in the firelight stared at him and said, “This man was with him too.”
57But he denied it: “I do not know him,” he said.
58A little later a man noticed him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said to him, “No, I am not.”
59About an hour passed and someone else spoke more strongly still: “Of course he was with him. He must have been; he is a Galilean.”
60But Peter said, “I do not know what you are talking about.” At that moment, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed;
61and the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Peter remembered the Lord's words, “Tonight before the cock crows you will disown me three times.”
62And he went outside, and wept bitterly.
63The men who were guarding Jesus mocked him. They beat him,
64they blindfolded him, and kept asking him, “If you are a prophet, tell us who hit you.”
65And so they went on heaping insults upon him.
66AS SOON as it was day, the elders of the people, chief priests, and scribes assembled, and he was brought before their Council.
67“Tell us,” they said, “are you the Messiah?” “If I tell you,” he replied, “you will not believe me;
68and if I ask questions, you will not answer.
69But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of Almighty God.”
70“You are the Son of God, then?” they all said, and he replied, “It is you who say I am.”
71At that they said, “What further evidence do we need? We have heard this ourselves from his own lips.”
