(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
2
You know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
3
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
4
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
5
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
7
There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
8
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
9
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
10
When Jesus understood it, he said to them, Why trouble you the woman? for she has worked a good work on me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
11
For you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
12
For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
13
Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
14
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
15
And said to them, What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
16
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
17
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where will you that we prepare for you to eat the passover?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
18
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master said, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
19
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
20
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
21
And as they did eat, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
22
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
23
And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
24
The Son of man goes as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
25
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, You have said.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
26
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
27
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink you all of it;
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
29
But I say to you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
30
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
31
Then said Jesus to them, All you 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.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
32
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
33
Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
34
Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, That this night, before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
35
Peter said to him, Though I should die with you, yet will I not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
36
Then comes Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, Sit you here, while I go and pray yonder.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
37
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
38
Then said he to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry you here, and watch with me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
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 you will.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
40
And he comes to the disciples, and finds them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
41
Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
(AKJV)
Matthew
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, your will be done.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
43
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
44
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
45
Then comes he to his disciples, and said to 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.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
46
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
47
And while he yet spoke, see, 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.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
48
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
49
And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
50
And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are you come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
(AKJV)
Matthew
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.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
52
Then said Jesus to him, Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
53
Think you that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
54
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
55
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are you come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you laid no hold on me.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
56
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
(AKJV)
Matthew
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.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
58
But Peter followed him afar off to the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
59
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
60
But found none: yes, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
61
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
62
And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
63
But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you be the Christ, the Son of God.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
64
Jesus said to him, You have said: nevertheless I say to you, Hereafter shall you see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
65
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
66
What think you? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
67
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
68
Saying, Prophesy to us, you Christ, Who is he that smote you?
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
69
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
70
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what you say.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
71
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
72
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
73
And after a while came to him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech denudes you.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
74
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
(AKJV)
Matthew
26
:
75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said to him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
