But he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag; and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

He came out, and went to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and his disciples followed him.

An angel appeared to him from heaven, and strengthened him.

While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

When those around him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.

And a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, looked at him, and said, "This man also was with him."

But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."

And a little later some one else saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

Then after about an hour had passed, another insisted, saying, "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean."

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

Now the men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him.

They blindfolded him and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?"

And they spoke many other things against him, blaspheming.

As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people came together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council chamber, saying,

Then the whole body of them arose and led him to Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "It is as you say."

And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was in Jerusalem at that time.

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned him with many words, but he gave him no answer.

The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then, dressing him in a gorgeous robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

and said to them, "You have brought this man to me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those charges which you make against him;

neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;

I will therefore chastise him and release him."

But they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!"

Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

And a great multitude of the people followed him, and women who also mourned and lamented him.

Two others, criminals, were also led with him to be put to death.

And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

And the people stood watching; but even the rulers sneered at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."

The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him wine vinegar,

There was also an inscription written over him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

One of the criminals who were hanged there hurled insults at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."

but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.

They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
