Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

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

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

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

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

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

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

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

Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Then he came to the disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."

Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him."

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.

The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God."

What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."

saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah. Who hit you?"

saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Messiah?"

Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

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

As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull."

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

About the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jewish people, and continues until this day.
