26 But ye, not so: but he that is great among you, must be as the least; and he that is chief, as the servitor.
But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.
27 For, which is the greater, he that reclineth, or he that serveth? Is not he that reclineth? But I am among you, as he that serveth.
For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.

35 And he said to them: When I sent you without purses, without wallets and shoes, lacked ye any thing? They say to him: Nothing.
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,
36 He said to them: Henceforth, let him that hath a purse, take it; and so likewise a wallet. And let him that hath no sword, sell his garment, and buy himself a sword.
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.

52 And Jesus said to those who had come upon him, the chief priests and Elders and military captains of the temple: Have ye come out against me, as against a robber, with swords, and with clubs, to take me?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;

But a certain maid-servant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him.
57 But he denied, and said: Woman, I have not known him.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him.
58 And a little after, another person saw him, and said to him: Thou too art one of them. And Cephas said: I am not.
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And an hour after, another contended and said: Certainly, this man also was with him, for he likewise is a Galilean.
And in about one hour's time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.
60 Cephas said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew.
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew.
61 And Jesus turned, and looked upon Cephas. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, which he spoke to him: Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me three times.
And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.
62 And Simon went out, and wept bitterly.

And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before their council, saying,
67 and said to him: If thou art the Messiah, tell us. He said to them: If I tell you, ye will not believe in me.
If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe;
68 And if I should ask you, ye will not return me an answer; nor will ye release me.
and if I ask, ye will not answer.
69 From this time, the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the majesty of God.
But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 And they all said: Thou art then, the Son of God? Jesus said to them: Ye say that I am.
Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for I am.
71 They say: What further need have we of witnesses? For we have heard from his own mouth.
And they said, What further need have we of testimony? For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.
