For whosoever wishes to save his soul shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his soul for My sake, the same shall save it.

And, taking the twelve aside, He said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things, written through the prophets respecting the Son of Man, will be accomplished; for He will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and kill Him; and, on the third day, He will rise again."

I speak not concerning all of you: I know whom I chose; but, that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He that eats My bread lifted up his heel against Me.'

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who receives whomsoever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me." read more.
Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me." The disciples were looking one on another, doubting about whom He was speaking. There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter, therefore, beckons to this one, and says to him, "Tell us who it is about whom He is speaking." He, leaning back as he was on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, "Lord, who is it?" Jesus, therefore, answereth, "He it is for whom I shall dip the morsel, and give it to him." Having, therefore, dipped the morsel, He taketh and giveth it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Jesus, therefore, saith to him, "What you do, do quickly."

Simon Peter says to Him, "Lord, where art Thou going?" Jesus answered, "Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow Me later." Peter says to Him, "Why can I not follow Thee even now?

And, behold, one of those with Jesus stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword; and, smiting the servant of the high priest, he struck off his ear. Then saith Jesus to him, "Return your sword to its place; for all taking a sword will perish by a sword. Or do you think that I cannot call upon My Father, and He will place beside Me, even now, more than twelve legions of angels? How, then, could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" In that hour Jesus saith to the multitudes, "Did ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to arrest Me? Daily with you, in the temple, I was wont to sit, teaching, and ye seized me not. But all this has come to pass, that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples, forsaking Him, fled. And those who seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. And Peter was following Him afar off to the court of the high priest; and, entering within, he was sitting with the attendants to see the end. And the high priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death; and they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. But afterward two false witnesses, coming forward, said, "This Man, said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'" And the high priest, standing up, said to Him, "Answerest Thou nothing? What are these testifying against Thee?" But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou art the Christ, the Son of God" Jesus saith to him, "You said it: nevertheless I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, "He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye just now heard the blasphemy! What think ye?" And they, answering, said, "He is worthy of death." Then did they spit in His face, and buffet Him. And others smote Him, saying, "Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is he that struck Thee?" And Peter was sitting without, in the court; and a certain maid-servant approached him, saying, "And you were with Jesus the Galilaean!" But he denied before them all, saying, "I know not what you are saying." And another maid saw him, when he walked out into the porch, and says to those there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene." And again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man." And after a little while, those who stood by, having come, said to Peter, "Truly you also are one of them; for even your speech makes you manifest." Then began he to curse and swear, "I do not know the Man." And straight-way a cock crowed. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, saying, "Before a cock crows, you will thrice deny Me." And, going forth without, he wept bitterly.
