The Plot to Kill Jesus
(Matthew 26:1–5; Luke 22:1–2; John 11:45–57)

1And it was the passover and feast of unleavened bread after two days. And the high priests and scribes were seeking how they might kill Him, having taken Him by stratagem. 2For they said, Not at the feast, lest there shall be an uproar of the people.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
(Matthew 26:6–13; Luke 7:36–50; John 12:1–8)

3And He being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, He sitting at the table, a woman came having an alabaster box of myrrh of spikenard estimated very valuable; and breaking the alabastar box, she poured it on His head. 4And there were certain ones indulging in indignation among themselves (and saying), For what was this loss of the myrrh? 5For this myrrh was able to be sold for more than three hundred denaria, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you give her trouble? she hath wrought a beautiful work in me. 7For you have the poor always with you, and when you wish, you are able to do them good: but you have not me always. 8She did what she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body for the burial. 9Truly I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel may be preached in all the world, that which she did shall indeed be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
(Matthew 26:14–16; Luke 22:3–6)

10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might betray Him to them. 11And they, hearing, rejoiced, and promised to give him money. And he was seeking how he might betray Him opportunely.

Preparing the Passover
(Matthew 26:17–19; Luke 22:7–13)

12And on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they were accustomed to slay the passover, His disciples say to Him; Where do you wish, that we, having gone away may prepare that you may eat the passover? 13And He sends away two of His disciples, and says to them; Go into the city and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him, 14whithersoever he may go in, say to the landlord that the Teacher says, Where is my guest chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 15And he will show you a large upper room furnished, ready; there prepare for us. 16And His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as He said to them, and prepared the passover.

The Last Supper
(Matthew 26:20–30; Luke 22:14–23; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34)

17And it being evening, He comes with the twelve. 18And they sitting and eating, Jesus said, Truly, I say unto you, that, One of you who eateth with me shall betray me. 19And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, Whether am I the one? And another, Whether am I the one? 20And He said to them, One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish. 21Truly the Son of man goes, as has been written concerning Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It was good for him if that man had never been born.

22And they eating, Jesus having taken the bread, blessing it, broke, and gave it to them, and said, Take it: this is my body. 23And taking the cup, blessing it, He gave it to them, and all drank of it. 24And He said to them, This is my blood, which belongs to the new covenant, which is poured out for many. 25Truly I say unto you, That I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I may drink it new in the kingdom of God.

26And they having sung a hymn, went out into the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
(Matthew 26:31–35; Luke 22:31–38; John 13:36–38)

27And Jesus says to them, You will all be offended, because it has been written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29And Peter said to Him, If indeed, all shall be offended, yet not I. 30And Jesus says to him, Truly I say unto thee, That thou to-day, even this night, before the cock shall crow twice, shalt deny me thrice. 31And he continued to say the more positively, If it may behoove me to die with thee, I can never deny thee. And all continued to say likewise.

Jesus Prays at Gethsemane
(Matthew 26:36–46; Luke 22:39–46)

32And they come into the place whose name is Gethsemane. And He says to His disciples, Sit here, until I may pray. 33And He takes Peter, and John, and James with Him, and began to grieve and to be dejected. 34And He says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death: abide here, and watch. 35And having gone forward a little, He fell on the ground; and continued to pray, that if possible, the hour may pass from Him.

36And He said, Father, Father, all things are possible to thee; take this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Were you not able to watch one hour? 38Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: for the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39And again having gone away, He prayed, speaking the same word. 40And turning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what they might respond to Him. 41And He comes the third time, and says to them; Sleep on, and take your rest: it is over; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners: 42arise, let us go: behold, the one having betrayed me draws nigh.

The Betrayal of Jesus
(Matthew 26:47–56; Luke 22:47–53; John 18:1–14)

43And immediately, He still speaking, Judas Iscariot comes, being one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: seize Him and lead Him away securely. 45And having come, immediately advancing forward, he said to Him, Master, and kissed Him copiously. 46And they laid their hands on Him and arrested Him. 47And a certain one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48Jesus responding said to them, You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me: 49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me: but in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. 50And all leaving Him, fled away.

51And one certain young man followed Him, invested with a linen cloth on his unclothed body: and they take hold of him. 52And he leaving the linen cloth, fled from them in a state of nudity.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin
(Matthew 26:57–68; Luke 22:66–71; John 18:19–24)

53And they led Jesus to the high priest: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came together to Him. 54And Peter followed Him a long way off, even into the court of the high priest; and was sitting with the officers, and warming at the fire. 55And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Him to put Him to death; and they found none. 56For many were testifying falsely against Him, and their testimonies were not equal. 57And certain ones rising up, were testifying falsely against Him, saying, 58We heard Him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and will build another in three days, made without hands. 59And thus their testimony was not equal. 60And the high priest rising up in their midst, asked Jesus, saying, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you? 61And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63The high priest tearing his garments, says, Why have we yet need of witnesses? 64You heard the blasphemy: what seems to you? And all answered, He is worthy of death. 65And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.

Peter Denies Jesus
(Matthew 26:69–75; Luke 22:54–62; John 18:15–18)

66And Peter being in the court, one of the maidservants of the high priest comes down; 67and seeing Peter warming, looking upon him, says, Thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. 68And he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what you say. And he went out into the portico; and the cock crew. 69And the maidservant seeing him again, began to say to the bystanders, He is one of them. 70And again he denied: and after a little again the bystanders were saying to Peter, Truly, thou art one of them; for indeed thou art a Galilean. 71But he began to anathematize, and to swear, I know not this man of whom you speak. 72And the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus told him; That, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he continued to weep.
