2 The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.

4 He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
They asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare for it?”
10 He said to them, "Look, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
He replied, “When you enter the city you'll meet a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him and go into the house he enters.
11 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
Tell the owner of the house that the Teacher asks you, ‘Where is the dining room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?’
12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there."
He'll show you a large upstairs room that already has the necessary furniture. Prepare the meal there.”
13 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
They went and found that everything was just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
14 When the hour had come, he reclined at the table, and the apostles joined him.
When the time came, he sat down at the table with his apostles. He told them,
15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
“I've been really looking forward to eating this Passover meal with you before my sufferings begin.
16 for I say to you, I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
I tell you I shall not eat it again until the time is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves,
Jesus took the cup, and after he had given thanks, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
18 for I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes."
I tell you that I won't drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

He picked up some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it into pieces and gave it to them. “This is my body which is given for you; do this in order to remember me,” Jesus told them.

In the same way after they had finished supper, he picked up the cup and said, “This cup is the new agreement in my blood which is poured out for you.”
21 But look, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
“In spite of this, my betrayer is sitting right here with me at the table.
22 The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed."
For it has been determined that the Son of man will die, yet how disastrous it will be for his betrayer!”
23 They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
They began to argue among themselves as to who this might be and who could do this.
24 There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
At the same time they also got into a quarrel about which of them was the most important.
25 He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
Jesus told them, “Foreign kings lord it over their subjects, and those having power even want people to call them ‘benefactors.’
26 But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.
But it should not be so with you! Whoever is highest among you should be like the lowest, and the leader should be like a servant.
27 For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.
Who is greater—the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.
28 But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.
You have stayed with me throughout my trials.
29 I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,
And I grant to you authority to rule, just as my Father granted it to me,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, look, Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
“Simon, Simon—Satan has asked to have all of you to sift like wheat,
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith would not fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."
but I have prayed for you that your trust in me may not fail. And when you have returned, encourage your brothers.”
33 He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
Peter said, “Lord, I'm ready to go with you to prison, and to die with you!”
34 He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."
Jesus replied, “I'm telling you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without money bag, and pack, and shoes, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without money, without a bag, and without an extra pair of sandals, did you lack anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.
36 Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a money bag must take it, and likewise a pack. Whoever has none, must sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
“But now, if you have money you should take it, as well as a bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
37 For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."
I tell you that this statement in Scripture about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted with the wicked.’ What was said about me is now being fulfilled.”
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."
“Look, Lord, here are two swords,” they said. “That's enough,” he replied.
39 He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

40 When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
When he arrived he said to them, “Pray that you don't give in to temptation.”
41 He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
Then he left them and walked about a stone's throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
“Father,” he prayed, “if you're willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want.”
43 And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.
44 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,
He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief.
46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
“Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you won't fall into temptation.”
47 While he was still speaking, look, a crowd came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

49 When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
Jesus' followers asked him, “Lord, should we attack them with our swords?”
50 A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
And one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered and said, "No more of this." Then he touched his ear and healed him.
“Stop! No more of this!” said Jesus. He touched the man's ear and healed him.
52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Then Jesus spoke to the chief priests, and the officers of the Temple guard, and the elders. “Am I some kind of criminal that you had to come with swords and clubs?” he asked.
53 When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
“You didn't arrest me before, even though I was with you in the Temple every day. But this is your moment now, the time when darkness is in power.”
54 They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.
They arrested him and led him away, taking him to the chief priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

56 A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him."
As he sat there, a servant girl noticed him in the firelight, and stared directly at him and said,
57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
“This man was with him.” But Peter denied it. “Woman, I don't know him!” he said.
58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."
A little later someone else looked at him and said, “You're also one of them.” “No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
59 After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
About an hour later, another person insisted, “I'm sure he was with him too—he's a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
“I've no idea what you're talking about!” Peter replied. Right then, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
61 The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how he said to him, "Before the rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
And Peter remembered what the Lord had said, how he'd told him: “Before the cock crows today, you'll deny me three times.”
62 And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Peter went out and wept bitterly.
63 The men who held him began mocking and beating him.

64 And having blindfolded him, they were striking his face and kept asking him, saying, "Prophesy, who is the one who struck you?"
They put a blindfold on him, and then asked him, “If you can prophesy, tell us who hit you that time!”
65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.
and shouted many other insults at him.
66 As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

67 "If you are the Messiah, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
“If you really are the Messiah, then tell us,” they said. “Even if I were to tell you, you wouldn't believe me,” Jesus replied.
68 and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.
“And if I were to ask you a question, you wouldn't answer.
69 From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
But from now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the mighty God.”
70 They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
They all asked, “So are you the son of God?” “You say that I am,” Jesus replied.
71 They said, "Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
“Why do we need any more witnesses?” they said. “We've heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”
