AND it came to pass, when Yahusha had finished all these sayings את, he said unto his Talmidiym,
Ye know that after two days is the Feast of the Pecach, and the Son of A'dam is betrayed to be crucified.
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 Qayapha,
And consulted that they might take Yahusha by subtilty, and kill him.
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Now when Yahusha was in Bethany, in the house of Shim`on the jar maker,
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat to eat.
But when his Talmidiym saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
When Yahusha understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she has wrought a good work upon me.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
Amein I say unto you, Wheresoever this Besorah shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her.
Then one of the twelve, called Yahudah Iyshqiryot, went unto the chief priests,
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.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
But before the Feast of Matstsah drew on, the Talmidiym came to Yahusha saying to him, where will you that we prepare for you to eat the Pecach?
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Rabbi says, My time is at hand; I will keep the Pecach at your house with my Talmidiym.
And the Talmidiym did as Yahusha had appointed them; and they made ready the Pecach.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
And as they did eat, he said, Amein I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began everyone of them to say unto him, Adonai, is it I?
And he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
The Son of A'dam goes as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of A'dam is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Then Yahudah, which betrayed him, answered and said, Rabbi, is it I? He said unto him, You have said.
And as they were eating, Yahusha took the bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the Talmidiym, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the Renewed Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
Then said Yahusha 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.
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galiyl.
Kepha answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.
Yahusha said unto him, Amein I say unto you, That this night, before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice.
Kepha said unto him, Though I should die with you, yet will I not deny you. Likewise also said all the Talmidiym.
Then came Yahusha with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and said unto the Talmidiym, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
And he took with him Kepha and the two sons of Zavdiy, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Then said he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
And he went a little further, 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.
And he came unto the Talmidiym, and found them asleep, and said unto Kepha, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the ruach indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
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.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Then came he to his Talmidiym, and said unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of A'dam is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrays me.
And while he yet spoke, lo, Yahudah, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
And forthwith he came to Yahusha, and said, Hail, Adonai; and kissed him.
And Yahusha said unto him, Friend, wherefore are you come? Then came they, and laid hands on Yahusha, and took him.
And, behold, one of them which were with Yahusha stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
Then said Yahusha unto him, Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Think you that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
In that same hour said Yahusha 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.
But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the Talmidiym forsook him, and fled.
And they that had laid hold on Yahusha led him away to Qayapha the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
But Kepha followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Yahusha, to put him to death;
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the Temple of Elohiym, and to build it in three days.
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
But Yahusha held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure you by the living El, that you tell us whether you be Ha'mashiach, the Son of Elohiym.
Yahusha said unto him, You have said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of A'dam sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Saying, Prophesy unto us, Mashiach, Who is he that smote you?
Now Kepha sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, You also were with Yahusha of Galiyl.
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what you say.
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 Yahusha the Netseriy.
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Kepha, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech bewrays you.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
And Kepha remembered the word of Yahusha, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
