THE FINAL PASSOVER
The Priests discuss how to arrest and kill the Lord Jesus. [Still three days to the Passover]

MATTHEW 26
¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, MARK 14 LUKE 22

²You know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. ^1aAfter two days was the feast of the passover and unleavened bread: ¹Now the feast of unleavened bread which is called the Passover drew near,

³ Then the chief priests assembled together, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas, ⁴And they consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. ^1b and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2a And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him;

⁵But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar among the people. ² But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar of the people. 2b for they feared the people.

At Bethany: The Anointing [One or two days to the Passover]

MATTHEW 26
⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, MARK 14
^3a And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, JOHN 12
²There (in Bethany) they made a supper for him; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
Luke 7 [Similar Topic]
³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. ³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is who touches him: for she is a sinner. ⁴⁰And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he said, Master, say on. ⁴¹There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? ⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶You did not anointmy head with oil: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. ⁴⁸And he said to her, your sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹And those who sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this who also forgives sins? ⁵⁰And he said to the woman, your faith has saved you; go in peace.

⁷ There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. ^3b there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. ³Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

⁸But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? ⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. ⁴And there were some who had indignation in themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? ⁵For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. ⁴Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray him said, ⁵Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? ⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.

¹⁰When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work on me. ¹¹For you always have the poor with you; but me you have not always. ⁶And Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? she has wrought a good work on me. ⁷For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you will you may do them good: but me you have not always ⁷Then said Jesus, Let her alone: she has kept this against the day of my burying. ⁸For the poor you have with you always; but you do not have me always.

¹² For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. ¹³Verily I say to you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her. . ⁸She has done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for burying. ⁹Verily I say to you, Whereever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Judas Connives With The Chief Priests

MATTHEW 26
¹⁴ Then* one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, ¹⁵And said to them, What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. [*Greek: tote] MARK 14

The Master said, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples. The Master said, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? The Master says to you, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹⁵And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. ¹²And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: make ready there.

During the Supper the Lord Washes Their Feet

JOHN 13
¹ Now before the passover's feast, Jesus knowing that his hour has come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, loving his own which are in the world, he loves them to the end. (direct translation)

² And supper being in progress,* the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; ³Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; ⁴He rose from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. ⁵After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶Then he came to Simon Peter: and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? ⁷Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now; but you shall know afterward. ⁸Peter said to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me. ⁹Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰Jesus said to him, He who is washed needs only to wash his feet, and is clean every where: and you are clean, but not all. ¹¹For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean. ¹²So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and had sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash each other's feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷If you know these things, happy are you if you do them. [*Greek: kai deipnou genomenou] Luke 22 [Compare]
²⁴And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. ²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those who exercise authority on them are called benefactors. ²⁶But you shall not be so: but he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he who is chief, as he who serves. ²⁷For which is greater, he who sits at meat, or he who serves? is not he who sits at meat? but I am among you as he who serves. ²⁸You are those who have continued with me in my temptations. ²⁹And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me; ³⁰That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁸I do not speak of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹Now I tell you before it comes, that, when it is comes to pass, you may believe that I am he. ²⁰Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me
²¹ Saying these things (Greek: tauta eipwn) Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. ²²Then the disciples looked at one another, doubting of whom he spoke.

The Passover Meal

LUKE 22
¹⁵And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: ¹⁶For I say to you, I will not eat of it any more, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: ¹⁸For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

The Last Supper

MATTHEW 26
²⁶And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, MARK 14
²²And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, LUKE 22

^23a And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: LUKE 22
^20aLikewise also the cup after supper, saying,

MATTHEW 26
^27b All of you drink from* it;

MARK 14
^23band they all drank from* it.
*[Greek ek = out of]

²⁸For this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many MARK 14
²⁴And he said to them, This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many LUKE 22

for the remission of sins.

²⁹ But I say to you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. ²⁵Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God..

Jesus Predicts The Betrayal

MATTHEW 26
²¹And as they ate he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. MARK 14
¹⁸And as they sat and ate, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you who eats with me shall betray me. LUKE 22
²¹. Moreover, perceive!^# the hand of him betraying me - with me on the table. [^#Greek: plhn idou]

MATTHEW 26
²²And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I? ²³And he answered and said, He who dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. MARK 14
¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? ²⁰And he answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, who dips with me in the dish.

MATTHEW 26
^24a The Son of man goes as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! MARK 14
^21aThe Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! LUKE 22
²²And truly the Son of man goes, as it has been determined: but woe to that man by whom he is being^#betrayed! [^#Greek: paradidotai - present passive]

MATTHEW 26
^24bit would have had been better for that man if he had not been born. MARK 14
^21bit would be better for that man if he had never been born.

LUKE 22
²³And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was who should do this thing.

MATTHEW 26
²⁵Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, You have said it.

JOHN 13
²³Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it would be of whom he spoke. ²⁵He then lying on Jesus' breast said to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him, That which you do, do quickly. ²⁸Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this to him. ²⁹For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

Judas departs

³⁰He then having received the sop went out immediately: and it was night.
JOHN 13
³¹Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him. ³³Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you. Where I go, you cannot come. ³⁴A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

Peter declares his loyalty

JOHN 13
³⁶Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me afterward. ³⁷Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. ³⁸Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times. Matthew 26 [Compare]
³³Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet I will never be offended. ³⁴Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. ³⁵Peter said to him, Even if I would die with you, yet I will not deny you. Also all the disciples said likewise. Mark 14 [Compare]
²⁹But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not. ³⁰And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times. ³¹But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any way. They all also said the same. Luke 22 [Compare]
³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: ³²But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers. ³³And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death. ³⁴And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that you shall deny three times that you know me.

Who Will Be The Greatest

LUKE 22
²⁴And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. ²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those who exercise authority on them are called benefactors. ²⁶But you shall not be so: but he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he who is chief, as he who serves. ²⁷For which is greater, he who sits at meat, or he who serves? is not he who sits at meat? but I am among you as he who serves. ²⁸You are those who have continued with me in my temptations. ²⁹And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me; ³⁰That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 13 [Compare]
¹ Now before the passover's feast, Jesus knowing that his hour has come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, loving his own which are in the world, he loves them to the end. (direct translation)
² And supper being in progress,* the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; ³Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; ⁴He rose from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. ⁵After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶Then he came to Simon Peter: and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? ⁷Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now; but you shall know afterward. ⁸Peter said to him, You shall never wash my feet.

Peter's Denial Predicted

LUKE 22
³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: ³²But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers. ³³And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death. ³⁴And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that you shall deny three times that you know me. Matthew 26 [Compare]
³³Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet I will never be offended. ³⁴Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. ³⁵Peter said to him, Even if I would die with you, yet I will not deny you. Also all the disciples said likewise. Mark 14 [Compare]
²⁹But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not. ³⁰And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times. ³¹But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any way. They all also said the same. John 13 [Compare]
³⁷Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. ³⁸Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.

"He was reckoned among the transgressors"

LUKE 22
³⁵And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack any thing? And they said, Nothing. ³⁶Then he said to them, But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. ³⁷For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have a fulfillment. ³⁸And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. Mark 15 [Compare]
²⁵And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. ²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written above, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷And with him they crucified two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ²⁸And the scripture was fulfilled, which said, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Isaiah 53 [The text quoted]
¹² Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he exposed his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Let not your heart be troubled

JOHN 14
¹Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. ²In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
⁴And you know, where I go and the way you know. ⁵Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way? ⁶Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. ⁷If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him. ⁸Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us. ⁹Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long a time, and yet have you have not known me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say, Show us the Father? ¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself and the Father who dwells in me does the works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
¹²Verily, verily, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and he shall do greater works than these; because I go to my Father. ¹³And what ever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
¹⁵If you love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, so that he may abide with you for ever; ¹⁷Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, nor know him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
¹⁸I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ¹⁹Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you will see me: because I live, you shall live also. ²⁰At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me: and he who loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²²Judas said to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ²³Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴He who does not love me does not keep my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
²⁵These things I have spoken to you, being yet present with you. ²⁶But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. ²⁷Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
²⁸You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and will come again to you. If you love me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. ²⁹And now I have told you before it comes to pass, so that, when it has come to pass, you might believe. ³⁰After this I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me. ³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
The Vine
JOHN 15
¹I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ²Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, so that it may bring forth more fruit. ³Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. ⁵I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. ⁶If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
⁹As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you: continue in my love. ¹⁰If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹These things I have spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. ¹²This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴You are my friends, if you do what ever I command you. ¹⁵From now on I do not call you servants; for the servant does not know what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. ¹⁷These things I command you, that you love one another.
¹⁸If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. ²¹But they will do all these things to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me. ²²If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. ²³He who hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
²⁶But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: ²⁷And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
JOHN 16
¹These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended. ²They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God a service. ³And they will do these things to you because they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴But I have told you these things, so that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵But now I go my way to him who sent me; and no one of you asks me, Where are you going? ⁶But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
⁷Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. ⁸And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹Of sin, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will see me no more; ¹¹Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹²I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but what ever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you. ¹⁵All things that the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it to you.
¹⁶A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father. ¹⁷Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? ¹⁸They said therefore, What is this that he said, A little while? we cannot tell what he said. ¹⁹Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do you enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me? ²⁰Verily, verily, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²²And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no man takes your joy from you.
²³And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. ²⁴Till now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵These things I have spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. ²⁶At that day you shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, that I will pray the Father for you: ²⁷For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
²⁸I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹His disciples said to him, Lo, now you speak plainly, and you speak no proverb. ³⁰Now are we sure that you know all things, and do not need that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God. ³¹Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? ³²Behold, the hour comes, yes, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
His Intercessory Prayer
JOHN 17
¹These words Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you: ²As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. ³And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. ⁴I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do. ⁵And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
⁶I have manifested your name to the men who you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word. ⁷Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you. ⁸For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you sent me. ⁹I pray for them: I do not pray for the world, but for those who you have given me; for they are yours. ¹⁰And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.
¹¹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are. ¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those who you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁷Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. ¹⁸As you have sent me into the world, even so I have also sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
²⁰Neither do I pray for these alone, but for them also who shall believe in me through their word; ²¹That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. ²²And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: ²³I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. ²⁶And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Peter's denial predicted again

Luke 22 [Compare]
³¹And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: ³²But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers. ³³And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death. ³⁴And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that you shall deny three times that you know me.

John 13 [Compare]
³⁷Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. ³⁸Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.

³⁴Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. ³⁰And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times.

³⁵Peter said to him, Even if I would die with you, yet I will not deny you. ³¹But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any way.

Also all the disciples said likewise . They all also said the same.

GETHSEMANE

Psalm 22 [The text quoted]
¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring?
[Note verse 24]²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard. [compare 2.Corintians 5:19, Hebrews 5:7]

³⁹And he went a little further, 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. MARK 14
³⁵And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. ³⁶And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will. LUKE 22

Betrayal and arrest

MATTHEW 26
⁴⁷And whilst he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whom ever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. ⁴⁹And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. ⁵⁰And Jesus said to him, Friend, why have you come? Then they came , and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. ⁵¹And, behold, one of those who was with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest and struck off his ear. ⁵²Then Jesus said to him, Put up again your sword into its place: for all those who take the sword shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? ⁵⁵In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Are you come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you laid no hold on me. ⁵⁶But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. MARK 14
⁴³And immediately, while he yet spoke, Judas, one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴And he who betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. ⁴⁵And as soon as he was come, he went immediately to him, and said, Master, master; and kissed him. ⁴⁶And they laid their hands on him, and took him. ⁴⁷And one of those who stood by drew a sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸And Jesus answered and said to them, Are you come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? ⁴⁹I was with you daily teaching in the temple, and you did not take me: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. ⁵⁰And they all forsook him, and fled. LUKE 22
⁴⁷And while he still spoke, behold a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? ⁴⁹When those who were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? ⁵⁰And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹And Jesus answered and said, Allow it this far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. ⁵²Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who were come to him, Have you come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? ⁵³When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch out hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. JOHN 18
²And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted there with his disciples. ³Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come on him, went out, and said to them, Whom do you seek? ⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. ⁶ Then as soon as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. ⁸Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore you seek me, let these go their way: ⁹That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of those whom you gave me I have lost no one. ¹⁰Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it? ¹²Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

MATTHEW 26 ¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,	MARK 14	LUKE 22
²You know that *after two days is the feast of* the passover,** and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.	^1aAfter two days was the feast of the passover and unleavened bread:	¹Now the feast of unleavened bread which is called the Passover drew near,
³ Then the chief priests assembled together, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas, ⁴And they consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.	^1b and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.	2a And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him;
⁵But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.	² But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.	2b for they feared the people.

MATTHEW 26 ⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,	MARK 14 ^3a And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat,	JOHN 12 ²There (in Bethany) they made a supper for him; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.	Luke 7 [Similar Topic] ³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. ³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is who touches him: for she is a sinner. ⁴⁰And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he said, Master, say on. ⁴¹There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? ⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶You did not anointmy head with oil: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. ⁴⁸And he said to her, your sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹And those who sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this who also forgives sins? ⁵⁰And he said to the woman, your faith has saved you; go in peace.
⁷ There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.	^3b there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.	³Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
⁸But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? ⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.	⁴And there were some who had indignation in themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? ⁵For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.	⁴Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray him said, ⁵Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? ⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.
¹⁰When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work on me. ¹¹For you always have the poor with you; but me you have not always.	⁶And Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? she has wrought a good work on me. ⁷For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you will you may do them good: but me you have not always	⁷Then said Jesus, Let her alone: she has kept this against the day of my burying. ⁸For the poor you have with you always; but you do not have me always.
¹² For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. ¹³Verily I say to you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.	. ⁸She has done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for burying. ⁹Verily I say to you, Whereever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

JOHN 13 ¹ Now before the passover's feast, Jesus knowing that his hour has come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, loving his own which are in the world, he loves them to the end. (direct translation)
² And supper being in progress,* the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; ³Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; ⁴He rose from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. ⁵After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶Then he came to Simon Peter: and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? ⁷Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now; but you shall know afterward. ⁸Peter said to him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me. ⁹Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰Jesus said to him, He who is washed needs only to wash his feet, and is clean every where: and you are clean, but not all. ¹¹For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean. ¹²So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and had sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash each other's feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
