Then said Jesus to them, "All of you are about to stumble and fall, for it is written, 'I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered in all directions.'

But Peter said to Him, “Even if they all fall away [and desert You, ashamed and afraid of being associated with You], yet I will not [do so]!”

But Peter kept saying insistently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing as well.

He said to them, "My soul is extremely grieved, even to the point where I could die. Stay here and be alert [i.e., in prayer]."

And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Were you unable to keep watch for one hour?

And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.

And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

I was daily among you, teaching in the temple, and you did not then seize upon me. but the scriptures are thereby accomplished.

And, a certain young man, was following with him, having cast about himself a fine Indian cloth, over his naked body, - and they are securing him;

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

Peter followed him at a distance till he got inside the courtyard of the high priest, where he sat down with the attendants to warm himself at the fire.

And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying --

He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

The high priest stood up and came forward and asked Jesus, “Have You no answer to give [in response] to what these men are testifying against You?”

But Jesus kept silent and gave no answer at all. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the Blessed One?”

You have heard the blasphemy [that is, His claim to be the Son of God]. What is your decision?” And they all condemned Him to be [guilty and] deserving of death.

and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, 'Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

Now when Peter was in the courtyard downstairs [i.e., from where the Sanhedrin was having its meeting. See verse 55], one of the head priest's servant girls came in,

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him and said, “You were with Jesus the Nazarene, too.”

But he denied it: “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed.

And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.

But again he denied it. After a little while, the bystanders again said to Peter, “You are in fact one of them, for [it is clear from your accent, that] you are a Galilean, too.”

But he began to invoke a curse [on himself] and to swear [an oath], “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He replied to him, “It is as you say.”

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.

Then Pilate again asked Him, “Have You no answer [to give]? See how many charges they are bringing against You!”

"See, how many accusations they are making." But Jesus no longer made any answer, at which Pilate wondered.

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection.

And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

For he was aware that the chief priests had turned Jesus over to him because of envy and resentment.

But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.

Pilate asked them again, "And what am I to do with your so-called king of the Jews?"

Then the soldiers led Jesus away to the courtyard of the governor's headquarters, where they assembled the entire battalion.

and they array him in purple, and set upon him, when they have plaited it; a crown of thorns, -

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

save your self, and come down from the cross.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!

Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

or the day before the sabbath,) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.

And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?

(for it was very great.) but when they were near in view, they perceiv'd that the stone was roll'd away.

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

She went and brought word to those that had been with him, who were grieving and weeping.

But they, when they were told that He was alive and that she had seen Him, could not believe it.

And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form,

Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

These are the signs that will accompany those who believe: In my name they'll drive out demons, they'll speak in new languages,

They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.

So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them He was taken up to heaven, where He sat down at the right side of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
