The Betrayal and ArrestMMLJ

Judas kisses Jesus. Peter cuts off the ear of the high priest's servant.

MatthäusMatt 26:47-56

47While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, and with him a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.

48The betrayer had given them a sign: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."

49He went straight up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.

50Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you came for." Then they came forward, laid hands on Jesus, and arrested him.

51Suddenly one of those with Jesus reached out, drew his sword, and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

52Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place, for all who take up the sword will perish by the sword.

53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he would at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

54But then how would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say it must happen this way?"

55At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to capture me as though I were a robber? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me.

56But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

43Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, and with him a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard."

45Going straight to Jesus, he said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him.

46Then they laid hands on him and arrested him.

47But one of those standing nearby drew his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

48Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to capture me, as though I were a bandit?

49Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."

50Then everyone deserted him and fled.

51A young man, wearing nothing but a linen cloth, was following him. When they seized him,

52he left the cloth behind and fled naked.

Lukas(du leser)

47While he was still speaking, a crowd arrived, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him,

48but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49When those around him saw what was coming, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

50And one of them struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

51But Jesus answered, "Stop! No more of this." And he touched the man's ear and healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the temple officers, and the elders who had come against him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit?

53Day after day I was with you in the temple, and you never laid a hand on me. But this is your hour — and the power of darkness."

JohannesJohn 18:2-12

2Judas, who was betraying him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.

3So Judas came there with a detachment of soldiers and with officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Jesus, knowing everything that was coming upon him, went out and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

5"Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who was betraying him, was standing there with them.

6When he said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

7So he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go."

9This was to fulfill the word he had spoken: "Of those you gave me, I have not lost one."

10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back in its sheath. Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"

12Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officers arrested Jesus and bound him.

GethsemaneMMLJ

Jesus prays in Gethsemane. Luke mentions the angel who strengthens him and his sweat like blood.

MatthäusMatt 26:36-46

36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and he began to be grieved and distressed.

38Then he said to them, "My soul is crushed with sorrow, to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."

39Going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

40Then he came back to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for even one hour?

41Keep watch and pray that you may not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done."

43And he came back again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44So he left them and went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

45Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is here."

32They came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled.

34He said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch."

35Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36"Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want."

37Then he came back and found them sleeping. "Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Couldn't you keep watch for one hour?

38Watch and pray that you may not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

39Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

40When he came back, he found them sleeping again, because their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to say to him.

41He came a third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Get up, let us go. See, my betrayer is here."

Lukas(du leser)

39Then he went out and made his way, as usual, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

40When he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."

41Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed,

42"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me. Yet not my will, but yours be done."

43An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

44And in his anguish he prayed still more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them asleep, worn out by grief.

46"Why are you sleeping?" he said to them. "Get up and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation."

JohannesJohn 18:1

1When Jesus had said all this, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

The Trial Before the Jewish CouncilMMLJ

Jesus before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin.

57Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

58Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. He went inside and sat down with the guards to see how it would end.

59Meanwhile the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death,

60but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

61and said, "This man said, 'I can tear down the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'"

62The high priest stood up and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this testimony they bring against you?"

63But Jesus remained silent. So the high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."

64Jesus said to him, "You have said it. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

65Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? You have just heard the blasphemy.

66What is your verdict?" They answered, "He deserves death."

67Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him

68and said, "Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who hit you?"

53They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes assembled.

54Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards, warming himself at the fire.

55The chief priests and the whole council were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they found none.

56Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

57Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:

58"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

59Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

60Then the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus: "Have you no answer? What is this testimony these men bring against you?"

61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest questioned him: "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

62"I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."

63At this the high priest tore his garments and said, "Why do we need any more witnesses?

64You have heard the blasphemy. What is your judgment?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards beat him.

Lukas(du leser)

54They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.

55When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56A servant girl saw him sitting there in the firelight, looked closely at him, and said, "This man was with him too."

57But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know him."

58A little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." "Man, I am not," Peter said.

59About an hour later another insisted, "This man certainly was with him — after all, he is a Galilean."

60But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about." At that very moment, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

62And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63The men holding Jesus mocked him and beat him.

64They blindfolded him and kept demanding, "Prophesy! Who hit you?"

65And they hurled many other insults at him.

66At daybreak the council of the elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they brought him before their Sanhedrin.

67"If you are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." He answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me;

68and if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

70They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He answered, "You say that I am."

71Then they said, "Why do we need any further testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."

13They brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to die for the people.

15Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,

16but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman at the door, and brought Peter in.

17The servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?" "I am not," he said.

18The servants and officers were standing there, warming themselves at a charcoal fire they had made, because it was cold. Peter was standing with them, warming himself as well.

19Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.

21Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Look, these men know what I said.

22When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus in the face and said, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

23Jesus replied, "If I said something wrong, testify to what was wrong. But if I spoke rightly, why do you strike me?"

24Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

Judas arranges to betray JesusMML

Judas receives thirty pieces of silver.

MatthäusMatt 26:14-16

14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.

16And from then on he watched for an opportunity to betray him.

10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to hand him over to them.

11They were delighted to hear it and promised to give him money. So he began looking for a good opportunity to betray him.

Lukas(du leser)

3Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4He went off and discussed with the chief priests and the temple officers how he might hand Jesus over to them.

5They were delighted, and agreed to pay him money.

6So he consented and began looking for an opportunity to hand him over to them when no crowd was around.

The Last SupperMMLJ

The institution of the Lord's Supper. John includes the washing of feet.

MatthäusMatt 26:20-30

20When evening came, he reclined at the table with the twelve disciples.

21And while they were eating he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."

22Deeply grieved, they began to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?"

23He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

24The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had never been born."

25Then Judas, the one who was betraying him, spoke up and said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "You have said it."

26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

27Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,

28for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

17When evening came, he arrived with the Twelve.

18While they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me."

19They began to grieve, and one after another they said to him, "Surely not I?"

20He said to them, "It is one of the Twelve, the one who dips bread into the bowl with me.

21The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to the man who betrays the Son of Man. It would be better for that man if he had never been born."

22While they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body."

23Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Lukas(du leser)

14When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.

15And he said to them, "I have longed with all my heart to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."

17Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves.

18For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

19And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

21But look — the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me at this table.

22For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed."

23And they began to question among themselves which of them it could possibly be who was going to do this.

JohannesJohn 13:1-30

1Before the Passover festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the very end.

2During supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.

3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

4rose from the meal, laid aside his outer garments, took a towel, and tied it around his waist.

5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

7Jesus answered him, "Right now you do not understand what I am doing, but later you will understand."

8Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me."

9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, then not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

10Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean—though not all of you."

11For he knew who was going to betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean."

12When he had washed their feet, he put on his garments again, took his place at the table, and said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.

14So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15I have given you an example, so that you also should do as I have done for you.

16Truly, truly, I tell you: no servant is greater than his master, and no messenger is greater than the one who sent him.

17If you know these things, you are blessed when you do them.

18I am not speaking of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: 'The one who eats my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

19I am telling you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.

20Truly, truly, I tell you: whoever receives anyone I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."

21After saying this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, "Truly, truly, I tell you: one of you will betray me."

22The disciples looked at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.

23Reclining next to Jesus was one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.

24Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who it was he meant.

25So he leaned back against Jesus and asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

26Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." Then he dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

27As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "Do quickly what you are going to do."

28No one at the table understood why he said this to him.

29Since Judas kept the money box, some thought Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or that he should give something to the poor.

30So Judas took the bread and went out at once. And it was night.

Preparation for the Passover mealMML

The disciples are sent out to make preparations.

MatthäusMatt 26:17-19

17On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?"

18He answered, "Go into the city, to a certain man, and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My time is near. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"

19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

12On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

13So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,

14and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

15He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there."

16The disciples set out, went into the city, and found everything just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

Lukas(du leser)

7Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."

9"Where do you want us to prepare it?" they asked.

10He said to them, "Listen: as you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters,

11and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you: Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

12He will show you a large upstairs room, already furnished. Prepare it there."

13They went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Peter's DenialMMLJ

Peter denies Jesus three times before the rooster crows.

69Meanwhile Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him and said, "You too were with Jesus of Galilee."

70But he denied it in front of them all: "I don't know what you're talking about."

71When he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and said to those standing there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

72Again he denied it with an oath: "I do not know the man."

73A little later those standing there came up to Peter and said, "You really are one of them; your accent gives you away."

74Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.

75Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

66While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's servant girls came by.

67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene."

68But he denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about—I don't understand." And he went out into the entryway. Then a rooster crowed.

69When the servant girl saw him there, she began again to say to those standing around, "This man is one of them."

70Again he denied it. After a little while, those standing nearby said to Peter, "You certainly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your accent sounds just like theirs."

71Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"

72Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

Lukas(du leser)

54They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.

55When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56A servant girl saw him sitting there in the firelight, looked closely at him, and said, "This man was with him too."

57But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know him."

58A little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." "Man, I am not," Peter said.

59About an hour later another insisted, "This man certainly was with him — after all, he is a Galilean."

60But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about." At that very moment, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

62And he went outside and wept bitterly.

15Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,

16but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman at the door, and brought Peter in.

17The servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?" "I am not," he said.

18The servants and officers were standing there, warming themselves at a charcoal fire they had made, because it was cold. Peter was standing with them, warming himself as well.

19Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.

21Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Look, these men know what I said.

22When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus in the face and said, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

23Jesus replied, "If I said something wrong, testify to what was wrong. But if I spoke rightly, why do you strike me?"

24Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

25Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing there warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

26One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"

27Again Peter denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.

Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was drawing near,
and the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to do away with him, because they were afraid of the people.
Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
He went off and discussed with the chief priests and the temple officers how he might hand Jesus over to them.
They were delighted, and agreed to pay him money.
So he consented and began looking for an opportunity to hand him over to them when no crowd was around.
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it."
"Where do you want us to prepare it?" they asked.
He said to them, "Listen: as you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters,
and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you: Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
He will show you a large upstairs room, already furnished. Prepare it there."
They went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
And he said to them, "I have longed with all my heart to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves.
For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
But look — the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me at this table.
For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed."
And they began to question among themselves which of them it could possibly be who was going to do this.
A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was to be considered the greatest.
But he said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those in authority are called benefactors.
It is not to be that way with you. Instead, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the one who leads be as the one who serves.
For who is greater, the one reclining at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
You are the ones who have stood by me in my trials,
and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
"Simon, Simon, listen: Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat.
But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
But Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."
Then he said to them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they said.
He said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse should take it, and a bag as well; and whoever has none should sell his cloak and buy a sword.
For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the lawless.' Indeed, what concerns me is reaching its fulfillment."
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." "That is enough," he told them.
Then he went out and made his way, as usual, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
When he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."
Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed,
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me. Yet not my will, but yours be done."
An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
And in his anguish he prayed still more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them asleep, worn out by grief.
"Why are you sleeping?" he said to them. "Get up and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation."
While he was still speaking, a crowd arrived, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him,
but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
When those around him saw what was coming, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
And one of them struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.
But Jesus answered, "Stop! No more of this." And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the temple officers, and the elders who had come against him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit?
Day after day I was with you in the temple, and you never laid a hand on me. But this is your hour — and the power of darkness."
They seized him, led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.
When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
A servant girl saw him sitting there in the firelight, looked closely at him, and said, "This man was with him too."
But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know him."
A little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." "Man, I am not," Peter said.
About an hour later another insisted, "This man certainly was with him — after all, he is a Galilean."
But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about." At that very moment, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."
And he went outside and wept bitterly.
The men holding Jesus mocked him and beat him.
They blindfolded him and kept demanding, "Prophesy! Who hit you?"
And they hurled many other insults at him.
At daybreak the council of the elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they brought him before their Sanhedrin.
"If you are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." He answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me;
and if I ask you a question, you will not answer.
But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He answered, "You say that I am."
Then they said, "Why do we need any further testimony? We have heard it from his own lips."
