Matthew 26
1 AND it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:
2 Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.
3 Then were the chief priests and scribes, and the elders of the people gathered together in the palace of the high-priest, called Caiaphas.
Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas
4 And they consulted together, how they might seize Jesus by guile, and put him to death.
and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast-day, lest there be a tumult among the people.
But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper
7 there came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious aromatic ointment, and poured it upon his head as he sat at table.
ther came vnto him a woman which had an alablaster boxe of precious oyntment and powred it on his heed as he sate at the bourde.
8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, For what end is this waste?
When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for a considerable sum, and given to the poor.
This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre.
10 Then Jesus knowing it, said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath performed a good act upon me:
When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the: why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.
11 for the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always:
For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.
12 for in pouring this odoriferous ointment on my body, she hath done it for my burial.
And in yt she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me wt all.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wherever this Gospel is preached through the whole world, what she hath done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.
Verely I saye vnto you wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached throughoute all the worlde there shall also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoriall of her.
14 Then went one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes
15 and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? Then they placed before him thirty pieces of silver.
and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.
16 And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them.
And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye him.
17 Then on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
The fyrst daye of swete breed ye disciples cam to Iesus sayinge vnto him: where wylt thou that we prepare for ye to eate ye paschall lambe?
18 And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house.
And he sayd: Go into the cite vnto soche a man and saye to him: the master sayeth my tyme is at hande I will kepe myne ester at thy housse with my disciples.
19 And his disciples did as Jesus commanded them; and they made ready the passover.
And the disciples did as Iesus had apoynted them and made redy the esterlambe.
20 And when the evening was come, he sat down at table with the twelve.
When the even was come he sate doune wt the. xii.
21 And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
And as they dyd eate he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.
22 And exceedingly grieved, they began to say to him every one of them, Lord, am I the person?
And they were excedinge sorowfull and beganne every one of the to saye vnto him: is it I master?
23 But he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me into the dish, that man shall betray me.
He answered and sayde: he yt deppeth his honde wt me in ye disshe the same shall betraye me.
24 The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.
The sonne of ma goeth as it is written of him: but wo be to yt ma by whom ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed. It had bene good for that man yf he had never bene borne.
25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, addressing him said, Master, is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast named the person.
Then Iudas wich betrayed him answered and sayde: is it I master? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayde.
26 Then as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessing, brake, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
As they dyd eate Iesus toke breed and gave thankes brake it and gave it to the disciples and sayde: Take eate this is my body.
27 And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this:
And he toke the cup and thanked and gave it them sayinge: drinke of it every one.
28 for this is my blood, that blood of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.
For this is my bloude of the new testament that shalbe shedde for many for the remission of synnes.
29 And I tell you, That I will no more henceforth drink of this produce of the vine, until that day when I drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
I saye vnto you: I will not drinke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tree vntyll that daye when I shall drinke it new with you in my fathers kyngdome.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
And when they had sayde grace they went out into mounte olyvete.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, Ye all will be offended at me this night: for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.”
Then sayd Iesus vnto them: all ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is wrytten. I will smyte ye shepe herde and the shepe of ye flocke shalbe scattered abroode.
32 But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after I am rysen ageyne I will goo before you into Galile.
33 Then Peter, taking up the word, said to him, Though all should be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.
Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by ye yet wolde I never be offended.
34 Jesus saith to him, I tell thee of a certainty, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Iesus sayde vnto him. Verely I saye vnto ye that this same night before the cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.
35 Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, never will I deny thee. In like manner also said all the disciples.
Peter sayde vnto him: Yf I shulde dye with ye yet wolde I not denye ye Lyke wyse also sayde all ye disciples.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane and sayde vnto the disciples syt ye here whyll I go and praye yonder.
37 And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection.
And he toke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to wexe sorowfull and to be in an agonye.
38 Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me.
Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche wt me.
39 And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And he went a lytell aparte and fell flat on his face and prayed sayinge: O my father yf it be possible let this cuppe passe from me: neverthelesse not as I wyll but as thou wylt.
40 And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour?
And he came vnto the disciples and founde them a slepe and sayde to Peter: what coulde ye not watche with me one houre:
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
watche and praye that ye fall not into temptacion. The spirite is willynge but the flesshe is weake.
42 Again the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it, thy will be done.
He went awaye once moare and prayed sayinge: O my father yf this cuppe can not passe away from me but yt I drinke of it thy wyll be fulfylled.
43 And coming, he found them asleep again, for their eyes were weighed down.
And he came and founde the a slepe agayne. For their eyes were hevy.
44 And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, repeating the same sentence.
And he lefte them and went agayne and prayed ye thrid tyme sayinge ye same wordes.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Then came he to his disciples and sayd vnto them: Slepe hence forth and take youre reest. Take hede the houre is at honde and ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed into ye hondes of synners.
46 Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth me approaches.
Ryse let vs be goinge: beholde he is at honde yt shall betraye me.
47 And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Whyll he yet spake: lo Iudas one of ye xii. came and wt him a greate multitude wt sweardes and staves sent from the chefe prestes and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: seize him.
And he that betrayed him had geven the a token sayinge: whosoever I kysse yt same is he ley hondes on him.
49 And immediately approaching to Jesus, he said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
And forth wt all he came to Iesus and sayde: hayle master and kyssed him.
50 Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him.
And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they and layed hondes on Iesus and toke him.
51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear.
And beholde one of them which were with Iesus stretched oute his honde and drue his swearde and stroke a servaunt of the hye preste and smote of his eare.
52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Return thy sword into its sheath: for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword.
Then sayde Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swearde into his sheathe. For all that ley hond on ye swearde shall perisshe with ye swearde.
53 Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Ether thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geve me moo then. xii. legions of angelles?
54 But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
But how then shuld the scriptures be fulfylled: for so must it be.
55 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid not hold upon me.
The same tyme sayd Iesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves for to take me. I sate daylie teachinge in the temple amoge you and ye toke me not.
56 But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myght be fulfilled.
57 Then they who had apprehended Jesus, brought him to Caiaphas the high-priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled.
Then all the disciples forsoke him and fleed. And they toke Iesus and leed him to Cayphas the hye preeste where the Scribes and the Elders where assembled.
58 But Peter followed him at a great distance unto the palace of the high-priest, and entering in, sat down with the servants, to see the issue.
And Peter folowed him a farre of vnto the hye prestes place: and went in and sate with the servauntes to se the ende.
59 Now the chief priests and elders and the whole sanhedrim, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;
The chefe prestes and the elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agenste Iesus for to put him to deeth
60 and found none: and though many false witnesses came, they found it not sufficient. But at the last two false witnesses stepping forth,
but founde none: in somoche that when many false witnesses cam yet founde they none. At the last came two false witnesses
61 said, This fellow said, I am able to pull down the temple of God, and to build it up in three days.
and sayd: This felowe sayde: I can distroye the temple of God and bylde it agayne in. iii. dayes.
62 And the high-priest rising up, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against thee?
And the chefe preste arose and sayde to him: answerest thou nothinge? How is it yt these beare witnes ageynst the?
63 But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him, said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.
But Iesus helde his peace: And the chefe Preeste answered and sayd to him: I charge the in the name of the lyvinge God that thou tell vs whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.
64 Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken the fact. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Iesus sayd to him: thou haste sayd. Neverthelesse I saye vnto you hereafter shall ye se the sonne of ma syttinge on the right honde of power and come in the clowddes of the skye.
65 Then the high-priest rent his garments, saying, he hath blasphemed: what farther need have we of witnesses? lo! now ye have heard his blasphemy:
Then the hye preste rent his clothes sayinge: He hath blasphemed: what nede we of eny moo witnesses? Behold now ye have hearde his blasphemy:
66 what think ye? They answered and said, He is deserving of death.
what thinke ye? They answered and sayd: he his worthy to dye.
67 Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him about; and some slapt his face with their hands,
Then spat they in his face and boffeted him with fistes. And other smote him with the palme af their hondes
68 saying, Prophesy to us, you Messiah, who it is that struck thee!
on ye face sayinge: tell vs thou Christ who is he that smote the?
69 Now Peter sat without in the hall: and there came to him a single maid-servant, saying, Thou also wert with Jesus of Galilee.
Peter sate with out in the palice. And a damsell came to him sayinge: Thou also waste wt Iesus of Galilee:
70 But he denied it before them all, asserting, I know not what thou art saying.
but he denyed before the all sayinge: I woot not what thou sayst.
71 Then as he was going out at the gate, another maid-servant saw him, and saith to those who were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.
When he was goone out into the poorche another wenche sawe him and sayde vnto them that were there: This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth.
72 Then again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
And agayne he denyed with an oothe that he knew the man.
73 But after a little while they who stood by, came up and said to Peter, Assuredly thou also art one of them: for even thy speech maketh thee manifest.
And after a whyle came vnto him they yt stode bye and sayde vnto Peter: suerly thou arte even one of the for thy speache bewreyeth ye.
74 Then began he to utter the bitterest curses, and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Then beganne he to course and to sweare that he knewe not the man. And immedyatly the cocke krewe.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said unto him, Before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And going out, he wept bitterly.
And Peter remembred the wordes of Iesu which sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe thou shalt deny me thryse: and went out at the dores and wepte bitterly.
