謀害耶穌
1再過兩天就是逾越節和除酵節，祭司長和律法教師正暗暗地找機會拘捕、殺害耶穌。
2他們說：「我們不能在節期那天下手，以免在百姓中引起騷亂。」
耶穌受膏
3耶穌在伯大尼村患過痲瘋病的西門家裡吃飯，有個女人帶了一瓶極貴重的純哪噠香膏進來，把玉瓶打破，將香膏倒在耶穌頭上。 4有些人生氣地彼此議論說：「為什麼這樣浪費？ 5這瓶香膏可以賣三百多個銀幣14·5 「三百多個銀幣」相當於當時人們一年的工錢。來賙濟窮人。」他們就責備那女人。
6耶穌說：「隨她吧！何必為難她呢？她在我身上做的是一件美事。 7因為你們身邊總會有窮人，你們隨時都可以幫助他們，可是你們身邊不會總有我。 8她做了自己能做的。她是為我的安葬做準備，提前用香膏抹了我的身體。 9我實在告訴你們，無論福音傳到世界哪個角落，人們都會傳揚這女人的事蹟，紀念她。」
猶大出賣耶穌
10十二門徒當中的加略人猶大去見祭司長，要把耶穌出賣給他們。 11他們聽了喜出望外，答應給他酬金。於是猶大伺機出賣耶穌。
最後的晚餐
12除酵節的第一天，就是宰殺逾越節羔羊的那天，門徒問耶穌：「我們該到什麼地方為你準備逾越節的晚餐呢？」
13耶穌就派了兩個門徒，並囑咐他們：「你們進城會看到一個人帶著一瓶水迎面而來，你們就跟著他。 14他進哪一家，你們也跟著進去，對那家的主人說，『我們的老師問你，祂的客房在哪裡，祂要和門徒在裡面吃逾越節的晚餐。』 15主人會帶你們到樓上一間布置整齊的大房間，你們就在那裡準備吧。」
16兩個門徒出去，進了城，所遇見的果然和耶穌所說的一樣。他們預備了逾越節的晚餐。
17傍晚時分，耶穌帶著十二門徒來了。 18用餐的時候，耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，你們中間有一個人要出賣我，他現在正和我同桌吃飯。」
19他們聽了都感到不安，一個一個地問耶穌：「不是我吧？」 20耶穌說：「是你們十二個人中的一個，他現在正和我一起在盤子裡蘸餅吃。 21人子一定會受害，正如聖經的記載，但出賣人子的人有禍了，他還不如不生在這世上！」
22他們吃的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝後，便掰開，分給門徒，說：「拿去吃吧！這是我的身體。」 23接著又拿起杯來，祝謝後，遞給他們，他們都喝了。 24耶穌說：「這是我為萬人所流的立約之血。 25我實在告訴你們，從今天起，一直到我在上帝的國喝新酒的那天之前，我不會再喝這葡萄酒。」
26他們唱完詩歌，就出門去了橄欖山。
預言彼得不認主
27耶穌對他們說：「你們都要背棄我，因為聖經上說，
『我要擊打牧人，
羊群將四散。』
28但我復活後，要先你們一步去加利利。」
29彼得說：「即使所有人都背棄你，我也決不會背棄你！」
30耶穌說：「我實在告訴你，就在今天晚上雞叫兩次以前，你會三次不認我。」
31彼得鄭重地說：「就算要我跟你一起死，我也不會不認你。」其他門徒也都這樣說。
客西馬尼園的禱告
32他們到了客西馬尼園，耶穌對門徒說：「你們坐在這裡，我要去禱告。」
33於是耶穌帶著彼得、雅各和約翰向前走。祂覺得極其難過，非常傷痛， 34說：「我心裡非常憂傷，幾乎要死，你們留在這裡警醒。」 35耶穌往前走了不遠，俯伏在地禱告，如果可以，不要讓那時刻臨到祂。
36祂說：「阿爸，父啊，你無所不能，求你撤去此杯。然而，願你的旨意成就，而非我的意願。」
37祂回來，見他們都睡著了，就對彼得說：「西門，你在睡覺嗎？你不能警醒一時嗎？ 38你們要警醒禱告，免得陷入誘惑。你們的心靈雖然願意，肉體卻很軟弱。」
39耶穌又去禱告，所祈求的跟上次一樣。 40祂回來時見他們又睡著了，因為他們睏得眼皮發沉，也不知道對祂說什麼。 41祂第三次禱告回來後，對他們說：「你們還在睡覺休息嗎？夠了，時候到了，看啊，人子要被出賣、交在罪人的手裡了。 42起來，我們走吧。看啊，出賣我的人已經來了！」
耶穌被捕
43耶穌還在說話的時候，十二門徒之一的猶大已帶了一群人拿著刀棍迎面而來。他們奉了祭司長、律法教師和長老之命來捉拿耶穌。 44出賣耶穌的猶大預先和他們定了暗號，說：「我親吻誰，誰就是耶穌，你們把祂抓起來，小心押走。」
45猶大隨即走到耶穌跟前說：「老師。」然後就親吻耶穌。 46其他人就下手捉拿耶穌。 47站在旁邊的一個門徒拔出刀朝大祭司的奴僕砍去，削掉了他一隻耳朵。
48耶穌問那群人：「你們像對付強盜一樣拿著刀棍來抓我嗎？ 49我天天和你們在一起，在聖殿裡教導人，你們沒有來抓我。你們現在這樣做是要應驗聖經的話。」
50那時，門徒都撇下耶穌，各自逃命去了。 51只有一個身上披著一塊麻布的青年跟著耶穌。他們上去捉他， 52他丟了那塊麻布，赤身逃走了。
大祭司審問耶穌
53他們把耶穌押到大祭司那裡，眾祭司長、長老和律法教師都來了。 54那時彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌，一直來到大祭司的院子，與衛兵們坐在一起烤火。 55祭司長和全公會的人正在尋找證據控告耶穌，要定祂死罪，只是找不到。 56不少人作偽證控告祂，他們的證詞卻不一致。 57後來，有幾個人站起來作偽證說： 58「我們聽見祂說，『我要拆毀這座人手建造的聖殿，三天內不靠人力另造一座。』」 59即使這樣，他們的證詞也不一致。
60最後，大祭司在眾人面前站起來質問耶穌：「你不回答嗎？這些人作證控告你的是什麼呢？」
61耶穌還是沉默不語，什麼也不答。大祭司又問祂：「你是那當受稱頌者的兒子基督嗎？」 62耶穌說：「我是！將來你們要看見人子坐在全能上帝的右邊，駕著天上的雲降臨。」
63大祭司便撕裂衣服，說：「我們還需要什麼證人呢？ 64你們聽見祂說褻瀆的話了，你們看怎麼辦？」他們都判祂死罪。
65有幾個人向祂吐唾沫，蒙上祂的眼睛，揮拳打祂，嘲笑祂說：「你說預言吧！」衛兵押祂下去時，也打祂。
彼得三次不認耶穌
66那時，彼得仍在院子裡，大祭司的一個婢女走過來， 67見彼得在烤火，打量了他一番，說：「你也是那個拿撒勒人耶穌的同夥。」
68「我不知道也不明白你在說什麼！」彼得一邊否認，一邊躲到外院去。那時，雞叫了。
69一會兒，那婢女又看見彼得，就對旁邊的人說：「他是跟他們一夥的！」 70彼得又加以否認。
再過了一會兒，旁觀的人也指著彼得說：「你一定是跟他們一夥的，因為你也是加利利人！」
71彼得又賭咒又發誓，說：「我根本不認識你們說的這個人。」 72就在這時候，雞又叫了。彼得突然想起耶穌曾對他說：「在雞叫兩次以前，你會三次不認我」，忍不住痛哭起來。
1After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3¶ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, 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. 4And there were some that had indignation within 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. 6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10¶ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12¶ And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? 13And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 14And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 16And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 17And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 18And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. 19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 20And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 21The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22¶ And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 25Verily I say unto 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.
26¶ And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 27And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 30And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 31But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. 32And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 33And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 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 unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 38Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 39And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. 40And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. 41And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43¶ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 45And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46¶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 47And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 50And they all forsook him, and fled. 51And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: 52And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53¶ And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 55And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59But neither so did their witness agree together. 60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66¶ And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 68But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 71But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
