ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these


  • sayings, he said unto his disciples,
  • 26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover,
  • and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
  • 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
  • and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
  • priest, who was called Caiaphas,
  • 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and
  • kill [him].
  • 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an
  • uproar among the people.
  • 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
  • leper,
  • 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of
  • very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at
  • meat].
  • 26:8 But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,
  • saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
  • 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given
  • to the poor.
  • 26:10 When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why
  • trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
  • 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
  • always.
  • 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she
  • did [it] for my burial.
  • 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
  • preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this
  • woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
  • 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto
  • the chief priests,
  • 26:15 And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will
  • deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty
  • pieces of silver.
  • 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
  • 26:17 Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread
  • the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou
  • that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
  • 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto
  • him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the
  • passover at thy house with my disciples.
  • 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and
  • they made ready the passover.
  • 26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
  • 26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that
  • one of you shall betray me.
  • 26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of
  • them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
  • 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand with
  • me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
  • 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe
  • unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been
  • good for that man if he had not been born.
  • 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master,
  • is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
  • 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
  • [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said,
  • Take, eat; this is my body.
  • 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to
  • them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
  • 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
  • for many for the remission of sins.
  • 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this
  • fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you
  • in my Father's kingdom.
  • 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the
  • mount of Olives.
  • 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended
  • because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
  • shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
  • 26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
  • Galilee.
  • 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men] shall
  • be offended because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended.
  • 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
  • night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
  • 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet
  • will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
  • 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
  • Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I
  • go and pray yonder.
  • 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
  • and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
  • 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful,
  • even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
  • 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
  • prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
  • pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
  • 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep,
  • and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
  • 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
  • spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
  • 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O
  • my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink
  • it, thy will be done.
  • 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes
  • were heavy.
  • 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
  • third time, saying the same words.
  • 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
  • Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: behold, the hour is at hand,
  • and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
  • 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth
  • betray me.
  • 26:47 And while he yet spake, 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.
  • 26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
  • Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
  • 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
  • and kissed him.
  • 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
  • Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
  • 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched
  • out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the
  • high priest's, and smote off his ear.
  • 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
  • place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the
  • sword.
  • 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
  • shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
  • 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus
  • it must be?
  • 26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye
  • come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take
  • me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
  • hold on me.
  • 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
  • prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him,
  • and fled.
  • 26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to
  • Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
  • assembled.
  • 26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's
  • palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
  • 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
  • sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
  • 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
  • [yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
  • 26:61 And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
  • temple of God, and to build it in three days.
  • 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest
  • thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?
  • 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered
  • and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou
  • tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
  • 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say
  • unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
  • right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
  • 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath
  • spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold,
  • now ye have heard his blasphemy.
  • 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
  • death.
  • 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and
  • others smote [him] with the palms of their hands,
  • 26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that
  • smote thee?
  • 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came
  • unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
  • 26:70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what
  • thou sayest.
  • 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid]
  • saw him, and said unto them that were there, This [fellow] was
  • also with Jesus of Nazareth.
  • 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
  • 26:73 And after a while came unto [him] they that stood by, and
  • said to Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy
  • speech bewrayeth thee.
  • 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not
  • the man. And immediately the cock crew.
  • 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto
  • him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he
  • went out, and wept bitterly.
