     ^14:1 Now after two days it was the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the high-priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him if they took-hold of him in treachery; ^14:2 but they were saying, Not at the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.

     {Mar 14:3-9 & Mat 26:6-13.}

     ^14:3 And now being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, reclining at a meal, a woman came having an alabaster flask of costly undiluted perfume of nard, and she crushed the alabaster flask and poured it on his head. ^14:4 But there were some being indignant to themselves, and saying, ^*For why has the waste of this perfume happened? ^14:5 For^* this perfume was able to be sold^*for above three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they were scolding her.

     ^14:6 But Jesus said, Allow^* her. Why are you^* harassing her? She has worked a good work in me. ^14:7For^* you^* always have the poor with you^*, and whenever you^* wish, you^* are able to do^*them well, but you^* do not always have me. ^14:8What this one had, she did^*. She took upon herself beforehand to perfume my body ^*for its burial.^14:9And assuredly I am saying to you^*, Wherever this good-news is preached into the whole world, what she also did^*, will be spoken^*for her memorial.

     {Mar 14:10-11 & Mat 26:14-16 & Luk 22:3-6 & Joh 12:2-8.}

     ^14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the high-priests in order that he might give him up to them. ^14:11 Now having heard it, they rejoiced and promised to give him silver. And he was seeking how he might opportunely give him up.

     ^14:12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they were sacrificing the Passover, his disciples say to him, After we have gone, where do you wish that we should prepare in order that you may eat the Passover?

     ^14:13 And he sends two of his disciples and says to them, Proceed^* into the city and you^* will be encountering a man bearing a pitcher of water there. Follow^* him. ^14:14And wherever he enters, say^* to the householder, The Teacher says, Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? ^14:15And he will be showing you^* a big furnished upper-room, which is ready. Prepare^*it for us there.^14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city and found it just-as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. ^14:17 And after it became evening, he comes with the twelve.

     {Joh 13:1-20 Thur. Evening.}

     {Mar 14:18-21, 14:27-31 & Mat 26:21-25, 26:31-35 & Luk 22:21-23, 22:31-38 & Joh 13:21-38.}

     ^14:18 And while they are reclining and eating, Jesus said, Assuredly I am saying to you^*, One out of you^* will be giving me up to the Jews, he who is eating with me.

     ^14:19 Now they began to be sorrowful and to say to him one by one, It is not I, is it? And another, It is not I, is it?

     ^14:20 But he answered and said to them, It is one out of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish. ^14:21The Son of Man indeed proceeds away, just-as it has been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is given up! It was {i.e. would be} good for him, if that man had not been born.

     {Mar 14:22-25 & Mat 26:26-29 & Luk 22:19-20, 1Co 11:23-26.}

     ^14:22 And while they are eating, Jesus took bread and having given-thanks, he broke it and gaveit to them and said, Take^*, eat^*; this is my body.^14:23 And he took the cup and having given-thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank out of it. ^14:24 And he said to them, This is my blood, the blood of the new covenant^*, which is poured out concerning many.^14:25 Assuredly I am saying to you^*, I should never drink anymore from the fruit^* of the vine, until that day whenever I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

     {Joh 14-17 Thur. Night, Fri. to the Jews.}

     {Mar 14:26, 14:32-42 & Mat 26:30, 26:36-46 & Luk 22:39-46 & Joh 18:1 Garden between Stream of Kidron and Mountain of Olives, Late Thur. night.}

. ^14:26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

     {See Mar 14:18-21 above.}

     ^14:27 And Jesus says to them, All of you^* will be offended at me in this night, because it has been written, 'I will be striking the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.'{Zec 13:7}^14:28But after I am raised, I will be preceding you^* into Galilee.

     ^14:29 But Peter said to him, Even if all will be offended, but not I.

     ^14:30 And Jesus says to him, Assuredly I am saying to you, that today, even in this night, before the rooster is to crow twice, you will be denying me three-times.

     ^14:31 But Peter spoke rather exceptionally, If it should be essential for me to die together with you, I should never deny you! Now likewise^*, they also all were saying it.

     {See Mar 14:26 above.}

     ^14:32 And they come to a parcel of ground of which the name is Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit^* here until I should pray. ^14:33 And he takes Peter and James and John with himself, and he began to be utterly amazed and disheartened. ^14:34 And he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful until death, remain^* here and watch^*.

     ^14:35 And having gone a little further, he fell upon the earth and was praying in order that, if it was possible, the hour might pass away from him. ^14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible for you; carry this cup away from me, but not what I will, but what you will.

     ^14:37 And he comes and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Were you not strong-enough to watch one hour? ^14:38Watch^* and pray^*, in order that you^* may not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed eager, but the flesh is weak.

     ^14:39 And again he went away and prayed, and said the same speech.

     ^14:40 And having returned, he found them sleeping again, for^* their eyes were heavy, and they did not know what they should answer him.

     ^14:41 And having come the third-time, he says to them, Furthermore, are you^* sleeping and resting yourselves? It is adequate. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is given up into the hands of sinners. ^14:42Arise^*, we should proceed. Behold, he who is giving me up has drawn near.

     {Mar 14:43-52 & Mat 26:47-56 & Luk 22:47-53 & Joh 18:2-11 Gethsemane, Fri. a few hours before dawn.}

     ^14:43 And immediately, as he is still speaking, Judas, being one of the twelve, comes^* and with him, a large crowd with swords and clubs from the high-priests, and the scribes and the elders.^14:44 Now he who is giving him up had given them a predefined gesture, saying, Whomever I kiss, that is he; take-hold^* of him and securely lead^* him away. ^14:45 And having gone to the place, he went immediately to him and says to him, Rabbi, rabbi, and kissed him. ^14:46 Now they put hands upon him and took-hold of him.

     ^14:47 But a certain one of those standing beside him, pulled his sword, and struck the bondservant of the high-priest and took off his ear.

     ^14:48 And Jesus answered and said to them, Did you^* come out, as against a robber with swords and clubs to take me?^14:49I was with you^* daily teaching in the temple and you^* did not take-hold of me, but this is done in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.

     ^14:50 And they all left him and fled. ^14:51 And one, a certain young-man followed with him, having been dressed in a linen cloth over his naked body, and the young-men take-hold of him;^14:52 but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

     {Joh 18:12-14, 19-23 Fri. before dawn.}

     {Mar 14:53 & Mat 26:57 & Luk 22:54a & Joh 18:24 Palace of Caiaphas, before dawn.}

     ^14:53 And they led Jesus away to the high-priest, and all the high-priests and the elders and the scribes come together with him there.

     {Mar 14:54 & Mat 26:58 & Luk 22:54b-62 & Joh 18:15-18 Courtyard of High Priest's residence, Fri. around dawn.}

     ^14:54 And Peter followed him from afar, until he was inside, into the courtyard of the high-priest, and he was sitting together with the attendants and warming himself in the light of the fire.

     {Mar 14:55-65 & Mat 26:59-68 & Luk 22:63-65.}

     ^14:55 Now the high-priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Jesus, ^*that^*they might slay him, and they were not finding it. ^14:56 For^* many were falsely testifying against him, and yet their testimonies were not equal. ^14:57 And some, having stood up, were falsely testifying against him, saying, ^14:58 We heard him say, I will be tearing-down this temple, the onemade^* with hands, and I will be building another through three days not made^* with hands. ^14:59And thus, neither was their testimony equal.

     ^14:60 And the high-priest stood up in the midst of them and asked Jesus, saying, Are you answering nothing? What are these witnesses testifying against you? ^14:61 But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high-priest asked him and says to him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Gracious^*One?

     ^14:62 But Jesus said, I am, and you^* will be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven.

     ^14:63 But the high-priest, having ripped his tunics, says, Why do we still have need of witnesses? ^14:64 You^*have heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you^*? Now they all condemned him to be liable for death. ^14:65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to batter him, and to say to him, Prophesy! And the attendants were casting him around with slaps on the cheek.

     {Mar 14:66-72 & Mat 26:69-75 & Luk 22:55-62 & Joh 18:25-27.}

     ^14:66 And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the maidservants of the high-priest comes.^14:67 And having seen Peter warming himself, she looked at him and says, You were also with Jesus, the Nazarene.

     ^14:68 But he denied it, saying, I neither know him, nor know what you are saying, and he went outside into the forecourt, and the rooster crowed.

     ^14:69 And the maidservant saw him and began again to say to those standing beside her, Thisone is from them. ^14:70 But he again was denying it. And after a little while, those standing besidethem were again saying to Peter, You truly are from them. For^* you are a Galilean and your speech is similar.

     ^14:71 But he began to curse and swear, I do not know this man of whom you^* are speaking of.^14:72 And the rooster crowed the second-time. And Peter was reminded of the declaration that Jesus said to him, Before the rooster is to crow twice, you will be denying me three-times. And having put his thoughts on it, he was weeping.
