It was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a cunning way to arrest Jesus and kill him.
“Not during the festival,” they said, “so that there won’t be a riot among the people.”
While he was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,[fn] as he was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured it on his head.
But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this perfume been wasted?
“For this perfume might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii[fn] and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her.
Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for me.
“You always have the poor with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have me.
“Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.
And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him money. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray him.
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover so that you may eat it? ”
So he sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.
“Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? ” ’
He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.”
So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me — one who is eating with me.”
He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve — the one who is dipping bread in the bowl with me.
“For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had not been born.”
As they were eating, he took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant,[fn] which is poured out for many.
“Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new[fn] in the kingdom of God.”
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away,[fn] because it is written:
I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to him, “today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” And they all said the same thing.
Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he told his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled.
He said to them, “I am deeply grieved[fn] to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”
He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
And he said, “Abba,[fn] Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will.”
Then he came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?
“Stay awake and pray so that you won’t enter into temptation.[fn] The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
And again he came and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to him.
Then he came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. See, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
His betrayer had given them a signal. “The one I kiss,” he said, “he’s the one; arrest him and take him away under guard.”
So when he came, immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi! ” and kissed him.
One of those who stood by drew his sword, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.
Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal,[fn] to capture me?
“Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple, and you didn’t arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
Now a certain young man, wearing nothing but a linen cloth, was following him. They caught hold of him,
They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes assembled.
Peter followed him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the servants,[fn] warming himself by the fire.
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they could not find any.
For many were giving false testimony against him, and the testimonies did not agree.
“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another not made by hands.’ ”
Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, “Don’t you have an answer to what these men are testifying against you? ”
But he kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One? ”
“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
“You have heard the blasphemy. What is your decision? ” They all condemned him as deserving death.
Then some began to spit on him, to blindfold him, and to beat him, saying, “Prophesy! ” The temple servants also took him and slapped him.
While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s maidservants came.
When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus, the man from Nazareth.”
When the maidservant saw him again, she began to tell those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”
But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean.”[fn]
