They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It isn't me, is it, Lord?"

And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."

Then he came to the disciples, and said: "Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Hark! my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

Now the man who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him.

But Jesus said to him, My friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.

The governor said to them, “Which of the two do you wish me to set free for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”

So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!"
