Dual Panel1Two <1417> days <2250> before the Passover <3957> and <2532> the Feast of Unleavened Bread <106>, the chief priests <749> and <2532> the experts in the law <1122> were trying to find <2212> a way <4459> to arrest <2902> Jesus <846> by <1722> stealth <1388> and kill <615> him.
2For <1063> they said <3004>, “Not <3361> during <1722> the feast <1859>, so there won’t <3379> be <1510> a riot <2351> among the people <2992>.”
3Now while <1510> Jesus <846> was <1510> in <1722> Bethany <963> at <1722> the house <3614> of Simon <4613> the leper <3015>, reclining at the table <2621>, a woman <1135> came <2064> with <2192> an alabaster jar <211> of costly <4185> aromatic oil <3464> <3487> from pure nard <4101>. After breaking open <4937> the jar <211>, she poured <2708> it on his <846> head <2776>.
4But <1161> some <5100> who were <1510> present indignantly <23> said to <4314> one another <1438>, “Why <5101> this <3778> waste <684> of <3464> expensive ointment <3464>?
5It <3464> could <1410> have been sold <4097> for more than <1883> three hundred <5145> silver coins <1220> and <2532> the money given <1325> to the poor <4434>!” So <2532> they spoke angrily <1690> to her <846>.
6But <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036>, “Leave <863> her <846> alone. Why <5101> are you bothering <3930> her? She has done <2038> a <2041> good <2570> service <2041> for <1722> me <1698>.
7For <1063> you will <2192> always <3842> have <2192> the poor <4434> with <3326> you <1438>, and <2532> you can <1410> do <4160> good <2095> for them <846> whenever <3752> you want <2309>. But <1161> you will <2192> not <3756> always <3842> have <2192> me <1691>!
8She did <4160> what <3739> she could <2192>. She anointed <3462> my <3450> body <4983> beforehand <4301> for <1519> burial <1780>.
9I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, wherever <3699> <1437> the gospel <2098> is proclaimed <2784> in <1519> the whole <3650> world <2889>, what <3739> she has done <4160> will <2980> also be told <2980> in <1519> memory <3422> of her <846>.”
10Then <2532> Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, went <565> to <4314> the chief priests <749> to <2443> betray <3860> Jesus <846> into their hands <846>.
11When <1161> they heard <191> this, they were delighted <5463> and <2532> promised <1861> to give <1325> him <846> money <694>. So <2532> Judas began looking for <2212> an opportunity <2122> to betray <3860> him <846>.
12Now <2532> on the first <4413> day <2250> of the feast of Unleavened Bread <106>, when <3753> the Passover lamb <3957> is sacrificed <2380>, Jesus <846>’ disciples <3101> said <3004> to him <846>, “Where <4226> do you want <2309> us to prepare <2090> for you to eat <5315> the Passover <3957>?”
13He <2532> sent <649> two <1417> of his <846> disciples <3101> and <2532> told <3004> them <846>, “Go <5217> into <1519> the city <4172>, and <2532> a man <444> carrying <941> a jar <2765> of water <5204> will meet <528> you <5213>. Follow <190> him <846>.
14Wherever <3699> he enters <1525>, tell <2036> the owner of the house <3617>, ‘The Teacher <1320> says <3004>, “Where <4226> is <1510> my <3450> guest room <2646> where <3699> I may eat <5315> the Passover <3957> with <3326> my <3450> disciples <3101>?”’
15He <2532> will show <1166> you <5213> a <508> large <3173> room upstairs <508>, furnished <4766> and <2532> ready <2092>. Make preparations <2090> for us <2254> there <1563>.”
16So <2532> the disciples <3101> left <1831>, went <2064> into <1519> the city <4172>, and <2532> found <2147> things just as <2531> he had told <2036> them <846>, and <2532> they prepared <2090> the Passover <3957>.
17Then <2532>, when it was <1096> evening <3798>, he came <2064> to the house with <3326> the twelve <1427>.
18While <345> they <846> were at the table <345> eating <2068>, Jesus <2424> said <2036>, “I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, one <1520> of <1537> you <5216> eating <2068> with <3326> me <1700> will betray <3860> me <3165>.”
19They were distressed <756> <3076>, and <2532> one <1520> by <2596> one <1520> said <3004> to him <846>, “Surely not <3385> I <1473>?”
20He said <2036> to them <846>, “It is one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, one who dips <1686> his hand with <3326> me <1700> into <1519> the bowl <5165>.
21For <3754> the Son <5207> of Man <444> will go <5217> as <2531> it is written <1125> about <4012> him <846>, but <1161> woe <3759> to that <1565> man <444> by <1223> whom <3739> the Son <5207> of Man <444> is betrayed <3860>! It would be better <2570> for him <846> if <1487> he had <1080> never <3756> been born <1080>.”
22While <2068> they <846> were eating <2068>, he took <2983> bread <740>, and after giving thanks <2127> he broke <2806> it, gave <1325> it to them <846>, and <2532> said <2036>, “Take <2983> it. This <5124> is <1510> my <3450> body <4983>.”
23And <2532> after taking <2983> the cup <4221> and giving thanks <2168>, he gave <1325> it to them <846>, and <2532> they <4095> all <3956> drank <4095> from <1537> it <846>.
24He <2532> said <2036> to them <846>, “This <5124> is <1510> my <3450> blood <129>, the blood of the covenant <1242>, that is poured out <1632> for <5228> many <4183>.
25I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, I will <4095> no longer <3765> drink <4095> of <1537> the fruit <1081> of the vine <288> until <2193> that <1565> day <2250> when <3752> I drink <4095> it <846> new <2537> in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.”
26After singing a hymn <5214>, they went out <1831> to <1519> the Mount <3735> of Olives <1636>.
27Then <2532> Jesus <2424> said <3004> to them <846>, “You <3754> will <4624> all <3956> fall away <4624>, for <3754> it is written <1125>, ‘I will strike <3960> the shepherd <4166>, and <2532> the sheep <4263> will be scattered <1287>.’
28But <235> after <3326> I <3165> am raised <1453>, I will go ahead <4254> of you <5209> into <1519> Galilee <1056>.”
29Peter <4074> said <5346> to him <846>, “Even if <1487> they <4624> all <3956> fall away <4624>, I <1473> will not <3756>!”
30Jesus <2424> said <3004> to him <846>, “I tell <3004> you <4671> the truth <281>, today <4594>– this <3778> very night <3571>– before <4250> a rooster <220> crows <5455> twice <1364>, you will deny <533> me <3165> three times <5151>.”
31But <1161> Peter insisted <2980> emphatically <4057>, “Even if <1437> I <3165> must <1163> die with <4880> you <4671>, I will <533> never <3361> deny <533> you <4571>.” And <2532> all of them <3956> said <3004> the same thing <5615>.
32Then <2532> they went <2064> to <1519> a place <5564> called <3739> <3686> Gethsemane <1068>, and <2532> Jesus said <3004> to his <846> disciples <3101>, “Sit <2523> here <5602> while <2193> I pray <4336>.”
33He <2532> took <3880> Peter <4074>, James <2385>, and <2532> John <2491> with <3326> him <846>, and <2532> became <756> very troubled <1568> and <2532> distressed <85>.
34He <2532> said <3004> to them <846>, “My <3450> soul <5590> is <1510> deeply grieved <4036>, even to the point <2193> of death <2288>. Remain <3306> here <5602> and <2532> stay alert <1127>.”
35Going <4281> a little <3397> farther <4281>, he threw <4098> himself to <1909> the ground <1093> and <2532> prayed <4336> that <2443> if <1487> it were <1510> possible <1415> the hour <5610> would pass <3928> from <575> him <846>.
36He <2532> said <3004>, “Abba <5>, Father <3962>, all things <3956> are possible <1415> for you <4671>. Take <3911> this <5124> cup <4221> away <3911> from <575> me <1700>. Yet <235> not <3756> what <5101> I <1473> will <2309>, but <235> what <5101> you <4771> will.”
37Then <2532> he came <2064> and <2532> found <2147> them <846> sleeping <2518>, and <2532> said <3004> to Peter <4074>, “Simon <4613>, are you sleeping <2518>? Couldn’t you <3756> <2480> stay awake <1127> for one <1520> hour <5610>?
38Stay awake <1127> and <2532> pray <4336> that <2443> you will <2064> not <3361> fall <2064> into <1519> temptation <3986>. The spirit <4151> is willing <4289>, but <1161> the flesh <4561> is weak <772>.”
39He went away <565> again <3825> and prayed <4336> the same thing <846> <3056>.
40When he came <2064> again <3825> he found <2147> them <846> sleeping <2518>; they could not keep their eyes <3788> open. And <2532> they did <1492> not <3756> know <1492> what <5101> to tell <611> him <846>.
41He <2532> came <2064> a third time <5154> and <2532> said <3004> to them <846>, “Are you still sleeping <2518> and <2532> resting <373>? Enough <566> of that! The hour <5610> has come <2064>. Look <2400>, the Son <5207> of Man <444> is betrayed <3860> into <1519> the hands <5495> of sinners <268>.
42Get up <1453>, let us go <71>. Look <2400>! My <3165> betrayer <3860> is approaching <1448>!”
43Right away <2117>, while <2980> Jesus was <2980> still <2089> speaking <2980>, Judas <2455>, one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, arrived <3854>. With <3326> him <846> came a crowd <3793> armed with <3326> swords <3162> and <2532> clubs <3586>, sent by <3844> the chief priests <749> and <2532> experts in the law <1122> and <2532> elders <4245>.
44(Now <1161> the betrayer <3860> had given <1325> them a sign <4953>, saying <3004>, “The one <3739> <302> I kiss <5368> is <1510> the man <846>. Arrest <2902> him <846> and <2532> lead <520> him away <520> under guard <806>.”)
45When <2064> Judas arrived <2064>, he went up <4334> to Jesus <846> immediately <2117> and said <3004>, “Rabbi <4461>!” and <2532> kissed <2705> him <846>.
46Then they took hold <1911> of him <846> and <2532> arrested <2902> him <846>.
47One <1520> of the bystanders <3936> drew <4685> his sword <3162> and struck <3817> the high priest’s <749> slave <1401>, cutting off <851> his <846> ear <5621>.
48Jesus <2424> said <611> <2036> to them <846>, “Have you come <1831> with <3326> swords <3162> and <2532> clubs <3586> to arrest <4815> me <3165> like <5613> you would an outlaw <3027>?
49Day after day <2596> <2250> I was <1510> with <4314> you <5209>, teaching <1321> in <1722> the temple courts <2411>, yet <2532> you did <2902> not <3756> arrest <2902> me <3165>. But <235> this has happened so that <2443> the scriptures <1124> would be fulfilled <4137>.”
50Then <2532> all <3956> the disciples left <863> him <846> and fled <5343>.
51A young man <3495> was following <4870> him <846>, wearing <4016> only a linen cloth <4616>. They tried to arrest <2902> him <846>,
52but <1161> he ran off <5343> naked <1131>, leaving <2641> his linen cloth <4616> behind.
53Then <2532> they led <520> Jesus <2424> to <4314> the high priest <749>, and <2532> all <3956> the chief priests <749> and <2532> elders <4245> and <2532> experts in the law <1122> came together <4905>.
54And <2532> Peter <4074> had followed <190> him <846> from <575> a distance <3113>, up <2080> to <1519> the high priest’s <749> courtyard <833>. He <2532> was <1510> sitting <4775> with <3326> the guards <5257> and <2532> warming <2328> himself by <4314> the fire <5457>.
55The <1161> chief priests <749> and <2532> the whole <3650> Sanhedrin <4892> were looking for <2212> evidence <3141> against <2596> Jesus <2424> so <1519> that they could put <2289> him <846> to death <2289>, but <2532> they did <2147> not <3756> find <2147> anything.
56Many <4183> gave false testimony <5576> against <2596> him <846>, but <2532> their <1510> testimony <3141> did <1510> not <3756> agree <1510>. agree <2470>.
57Some <5100> stood up <450> and gave <5576> this false testimony <5576> against <2596> him <846>:
58“We <2249> heard <191> him <846> say <3004>, ‘I <1473> will destroy <2647> this <5126> temple <3485> made with hands <5499> and <2532> in <1223> three <5140> days <2250> build <3618> another <243> not made with hands <886>.’”
59Yet <2532> even on this point <3779> their <846> testimony <3141> did <1510> not <3761> agree <1510>. agree <2470>.
60Then <2532> the high priest <749> stood up <450> before <1519> <3319> them and asked <1905> Jesus <2424>, “Have you <611> no <3756> answer <611>? What <5101> is this <3778> that they are testifying against <2649> you <4675>?”
61But <1161> he was silent <4623> and <2532> did <611> not <3756> answer <611>. Again <3825> the high priest <749> questioned <1905> him <846>, “Are <1510> you <4771> the Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of the Blessed One <2128>?”
62“I <1473> am <1510>,” said <2036> Jesus <2424>, “and <2532> you will see <3700> the Son <5207> of Man <444> sitting <2521> at <1537> the right hand <1188> of the Power <1411> and <2532> coming <2064> with <3326> the clouds <3507> of heaven <3772>.”
63Then the high priest <749> tore <1284> his <846> clothes <5509> and said <3004>, “Why <5101> do we <2192> still <2089> need <2192> need <5532> witnesses <3144>?
64You have heard <191> the blasphemy <988>! What <5101> is <5316> your <5213> verdict <5316>?” They <2632> all <3956> condemned <2632> him <846> as deserving <1777> <1510> death <2288>.
65Then <2532> some <5100> began <756> to spit <1716> on him <846>, and <2532> to blindfold <4028> him <846>, and to strike <4475> him with <4475> their fists <4475>, saying <3004>, “Prophesy <4395>!” The guards <5257> also <2532> took <2983> him <846> and <2532> beat <2852> him <846>.
66Now <2532> while <1510> Peter <4074> was <1510> below <2736> in <1722> the courtyard <833>, one <1520> of the high priest’s <749> slave girls <3814> came by <2064>.
67When <2532> she saw <1492> Peter <4074> warming <2328> himself, she looked directly <1689> at him <846> and <2532> said <3004>, “You <4771> also were <1510> with <3326> that Nazarene <3479>, Jesus <2424>.”
68But <1161> he denied <720> it: “I <1492> don’t even <3777> understand <1492> what <5101> you’re talking <3004> about!” Then <2532> he went <1831> out <1854> to <1519> the gateway <4259>, and a rooster crowed.
69When <2532> the slave girl <3814> saw <1492> him <846>, she began <756> again <3825> to say <3004> to the bystanders <3936>, “This man <3778> is <1510> one of <1537> them <846>.”
70But <1161> he denied <720> it again <3825>. A short time <3397> later <3326> the bystanders <3936> again <3825> said <3004> to Peter <4074>, “You must be <230> one of <1537> them <846>, because <1063> you are <1510> also <2532> a Galilean <1057>.”
71Then <1161> he began <756> to curse <332>, and <2532> he swore <3660> with an oath, “I do <1492> not <3756> know <1492> this <5126> man <444> you are talking <3004> about!”
72Immediately <2117> a rooster <220> crowed <5455> a second time <1208>. Then <2532> Peter <4074> remembered <363> what Jesus <2424> had said <2036> to him <846>: “Before <4250> a rooster <220> crows <5455> twice <1364>, you will deny <533> me <3165> three times <5151>.” And he broke down <1911> and <2532> wept <2799>.
