6 Then said Jesus, Let her alone; why give ye her uneasiness? she hath performed a laudable act towards me.
But Jesus said, Leave her be. Why do ye cause troubles for her? She performed a good work on me.
7 For the poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
For ye always have the poor with you, and whenever ye may desire ye can do them well, but ye do not always have me.
8 What was in her power she hath done; she has seized the opportunity to anoint my body beforehand for burial.
She applied what she had to anoint my body. She did it beforehand for the burial.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached through the whole world, there shall, what she hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
And truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be preached in the whole world, also what she did will be told for a memorial of her.

37 And he came and found them asleep: and saith unto Peter, Sleepest thou? hast thou not strength to watch with me a single hour?
And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, Do thou sleep? Could thou not watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39 And again he went away, and prayed, speaking the same sentence.

45 And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

And Peter followed him from a distance, as far as inside the courtyard of the high priest, and was sitting with the subordinates, and warming himself near the light.
55 Then the chief priests, and the whole sanhedrim, sought for witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; yet found none.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and did not find it.
56 For many bore false witness against him, and their attestations did not correspond.

60 So the high-priest rising up in the midst interrogated Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? What is it that these witness against thee?
And the high priest having stood up in the midst, he demanded Jesus, saying, Thou answer nothing? What is it these men testify against thee?
61 But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?
But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest demanded him, and says to him, Are thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
And Jesus said, I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.
63 Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?
And the high priest having torn his clothes, he says, What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all adjudged him to be deserving of death.
Ye have heard the blasphemy. What does it seem to you? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death.
65 And some began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants slapped him on the face with their hands.
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with a fist, and to say to him, Prophesy. And the subordinates were throwing him with slaps.
66 And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest’s maid-servants:
And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes.
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
And having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, Thou also were with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.
But he denied, saying, I know not, nor understand what thou say. And he went outside onto the porch, and a cock sounded.
69 And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, This man is one of them.
And the servant girl having seen him, she began again to say to those who stood by, This man is from them.
70 Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.
But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Surely thou are from them, for thou are a Galilean, and thy accent is similar.
71 Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye speak.
But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom ye speak.
72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
And the second time a cock sounded. And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds twice, thou will deny me thrice. And having broke down, he wept.
