Matthew 26 — WBMS
26Verse 1And it was done, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples,Verse 2Ye know, that after two days pask shall be made, and man’s Son shall be betaken to be crucified.Verse 3Then the princes of priests, and the elder men of the people were gathered into the hall of the prince of priests, that was said Caiaphas,Verse 4and made a counsel to hold Jesus with guile, and slay him;Verse 5but they said, Not in the holiday [or in the feast day], lest peradventure noise were made in the people.Verse 6And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,Verse 7a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him, and shedded it out on the head of him resting.Verse 8And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said, Whereto is this loss?Verse 9for it might be sold for much [or this might have been sold for much], and be given to poor men.Verse 10But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work [or she hath wrought a good work in me].Verse 11For ye shall ever[more] have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me.Verse 12For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did [for] to bury me.Verse 13Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him.Verse 14Then one of the twelve, that was called Judas Iscariot, went forth [or went] to the princes of priests,Verse 15and said to them, What will ye give to me, and I shall betake him to you? And they ordained to him thirty pieces of silver.Verse 16And from that time he sought opportunity, to betray him.Verse 17And in the first day of therf loaves the disciples came to Jesus, and said, Where wilt thou [that] we make ready to thee, to eat pask?Verse 18Jesus said, Go ye into the city to a man, and say to him, The master saith, My time is nigh; at thee I make pask with my disciples.Verse 19And the disciples did, as Jesus commanded to them; and they made the pask ready.Verse 20And when the eventide was come, he sat to [or at the] meat, with his twelve disciples.Verse 21And he said to them, as they ate, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.Verse 22And they full sorry, [or made sorrowful greatly], began each by himself to say, Lord, whether I am he?Verse 23And he answered, and said, He that putteth with me his hand in the platter, shall betray me.Verse 24Forsooth man’s Son goeth, as it is written of him; but woe to that man, by whom man’s Son shall be betrayed; it were good to him, if that man had not been born.Verse 25But Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether I am he? Jesus said to him, Thou hast said.Verse 26And while they supped, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take ye, and eat; this is my body.Verse 27And he took the cup, and did thankings, and gave to them, and said, Drink ye all thereof;Verse 28this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many, into remission of sins.Verse 29And I say to you, I shall not drink from this time, of this fruit of the vine, into that day when I shall drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father.Verse 30And when the hymn was said, they went out into the mount of Olives.Verse 31Then Jesus said to them, All ye shall suffer cause of stumbling in me, in this night; for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.Verse 32But after that I shall rise again, I shall go before you into Galilee.Verse 33Peter answered, and said to him, Though all [men] shall be caused to stumble in thee, I shall never be caused to stumble.Verse 34Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, for in this night before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.Verse 35Peter said to him, Yea, though it behooveth that I die with thee, I shall not deny thee. Also all the disciples said.Verse 36Then Jesus came with them into a town, that is said Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go thither, and pray.Verse 37And when he had taken Peter, and two sons of Zebedee, he began to be heavy and sorry [or to be sorrowful and heavy in heart].Verse 38Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful to the death; abide ye here, and wake ye with me.Verse 39And he went forth a little, and felled down on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, pass this cup from me [or this cup pass from me]; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.Verse 40And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, So, whether ye might not one hour wake with me? [or might ye not one hour wake with me?]Verse 41Wake ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation; for the spirit is ready, but the flesh is sick, [or unstable, or unsteadfast].Verse 42Again the second time he went, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass, but I drink it, thy will be done.Verse 43And again he came, and found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavied.Verse 44And he left them, and went again, and prayed the third time, and said the same word.Verse 45Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep ye now, and rest ye; lo! the hour hath nighed, and man’s Son shall be betaken [or be betrayed] into the hands of sinners;Verse 46rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall take me, is nigh.Verse 47Yet while he spake, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great company, with swords and bats [or staves], sent from the princes of priests, and from the elder men of the people.Verse 48And he that betrayed him, gave to them a token, and said, Whomever I shall kiss, he it is; hold ye him.Verse 49And anon he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master; and he kissed him.Verse 50And Jesus said to him, Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came nigh, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.Verse 51And lo! one of them that were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew out his sword; and he smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his ear.Verse 52Then Jesus said to him, Turn thy sword into his place; for all that take sword, shall perish by sword.Verse 53Whether guessest thou, that I may not pray my Father, and he shall give to me now more than twelve legions of angels?Verse 54How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled? for so it behooveth to be done.Verse 55In that hour Jesus said to the people, As to a thief ye have gone out, with swords and bats [or staves], to take me; day by day I sat among you, and taught in the temple, and ye held me not.Verse 56But all this thing was done, that the scriptures of prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, and left him.Verse 57And they held Jesus, and led him to Caiaphas, the prince of priests, where the scribes and the Pharisees, and the elder men of the people were come together [or where the scribes and the elder men of the people had come together].Verse 58But Peter pursued him afar, into the hall of the prince of priests; and he went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.Verse 59And the prince of priests, and all the council sought false witnessing against Jesus, that they should [be] take him to death;Verse 60and they found not, when many false witnesses were come. But at the last, two false witnesses came,Verse 61and said, This said, I may destroy the temple of God, and after the third day [or three days] build it again.Verse 62And the prince of priests rose, and said to him, Answerest thou nothing to those things, that these witness against thee?Verse 63But Jesus was still. And the prince of priests said to him, I conjure thee by the living God, that thou say to us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God.Verse 64Jesus said to him, Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see man’s Son sitting at the right half of the virtue of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.Verse 65Then the prince of priests rent his clothes, and said, He hath blasphemed; what yet have we need to witnesses? lo! now ye have heard blasphemy;Verse 66what seemeth to you? And they answered, and said, He is guilty of death.Verse 67Then they spat in his face, and smote him with buffets; and others gave strokes with the palm of their hands in[to] his face,Verse 68and said, Thou Christ, declare [or prophesy] to us, who is he that smote thee?Verse 69And Peter sat without in the hall; and a damsel [or an handmaid] came to him, and said, Thou were with Jesus of Galilee.Verse 70And he denied before all [men], and said, I know not what thou sayest.Verse 71And when he went out at the gate, another damsel [or handmaid] saw him, and said to them that were there, And this was with Jesus of Nazareth.Verse 72And again he denied with an oath, For I knew not the man.Verse 73And a little after, they that stood came, and said to Peter, Truly and thou art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.Verse 74Then he began to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And anon the cock crew.Verse 75And Peter bethought on the word of Jesus, that he had said, Before the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
