1 And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these discourses, He said to His disciples,
2 Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.
You know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is delivered to be crucified.
3 Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas
Then the chief priests, and scribes, and elders of the people, were assembled in the hall of the high priest, called Caiaphas.
4 and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.
And they immediately passed the verdict that they would take Jesus by stratagem, and kill Him.
5 But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.
But they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper
And Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 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.
a woman having an alabaster box of myrrh, very valuable, came to Him and poured it on His head, while sitting at the table.
8 When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?
And His disciples, seeing, were indignant, saying, For what was this waste?
9 This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre.
For this was able to be sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the: why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.
And Jesus knowing, said to them, Why do you give the woman trouble? because she hath wrought a beautiful work in me.
11 For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.
For you have the poor with you always; but you have not me always.
12 And in yt she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me wt all.
For she pouring this myrrh on my body, did it in order to my burial.
13 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.
Truly I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel may be preached in all the world, that which she did shall indeed be spoken of for a memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, going to the chief priests,
15 and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.
said, What do you wish to give me, and I will deliver Him to you? And they offered him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye him.
And from that time he was seeking opportunity that he might betray Him.
17 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?
On the first day of the unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him; Where do you wish that we may prepare for you to eat the passover?
18 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.
And He said; Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him; The Teacher says; My time is nigh; I make the passover with you along with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Iesus had apoynted them and made redy the esterlambe.
And the disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and prepared the passover.
20 When the even was come he sate doune wt the. xii.
And it being evening, He sat down at the table with the twelve.
21 And as they dyd eate he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.
And they eating, He said; Truly, I say unto you, that one of you will betray me.
22 And they were excedinge sorowfull and beganne every one of the to saye vnto him: is it I master?
And they being exceedingly sorrowful, began each one of them to say to Him, Lord, whether am I the one?
23 He answered and sayde: he yt deppeth his honde wt me in ye disshe the same shall betraye me.
And responding He said, The one dipping his hand in the dish with me, the same shall betray me.
24 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.
Indeed the Son of man goeth, as has been written concerning Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It was good for him if that man had never been born.
25 Then Iudas wich betrayed him answered and sayde: is it I master? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayde.
But Judas, the one betraying Him, responding said, Master, whether am I the one? He says to him, Thou hast said it.
26 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.
And they eating, Jesus taking the bread, and blessing it, broke, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he toke the cup and thanked and gave it them sayinge: drinke of it every one.
Also taking the cup, and blessing it, He gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all, of it;
28 For this is my bloude of the new testament that shalbe shedde for many for the remission of synnes.
for this is my blood which belongs to the new covenant, which is shed for many unto the remission of sin.
29 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.
And I say unto you, that I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I may drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
30 And when they had sayde grace they went out into mounte olyvete.
Having sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
31 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.
Then Jesus says to them, You will all be offended in me this night: for it has been written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.
32 But after I am rysen ageyne I will goo before you into Galile.
And after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by ye yet wolde I never be offended.
But Peter responding said to Him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
34 Iesus sayde vnto him. Verely I saye vnto ye that this same night before the cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.
Jesus said to him, Truly I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter sayde vnto him: Yf I shulde dye with ye yet wolde I not denye ye Lyke wyse also sayde all ye disciples.
And Peter says to Him, If it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also all the disciples said.
36 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.
Then Jesus comes with them into a place called Gethsemane, and He says to His disciples, Sit here, until I having gone may pray there.
37 And he toke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to wexe sorowfull and to be in an agonye.
And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to grieve and to be dejected.
38 Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche wt me.
Then He says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death: abide here, and pray with me.
39 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.
And having gone forward a little, He fell on His face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: moreover not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he came vnto the disciples and founde them a slepe and sayde to Peter: what coulde ye not watche with me one houre:
And He comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Were you not able to watch with me one hour?
41 watche and praye that ye fall not into temptacion. The spirite is willynge but the flesshe is weake.
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 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.
And again the second time, having gone away, He prayed, saying, My Father, if it is possible that this cup pass from me, if I shall not drink it, let thy will be done.
43 And he came and founde the a slepe agayne. For their eyes were hevy.
And having come He finds them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he lefte them and went agayne and prayed ye thrid tyme sayinge ye same wordes.
And leaving them, having gone away, He prayed again the third time, speaking the same word.
45 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.
Then He comes to His disciples, and says to them, Sleep on, and take your rest, behold, the hour is nigh, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners:
46 Ryse let vs be goinge: beholde he is at honde yt shall betraye me.
arise, let us go: behold, the one having betrayed me is nigh.
47 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.
And He still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 And he that betrayed him had geven the a token sayinge: whosoever I kysse yt same is he ley hondes on him.
And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: hold Him fast.
49 And forth wt all he came to Iesus and sayde: hayle master and kyssed him.
And immediately coming forward to Jesus, he said, Hail, Master; and kissed Him copiously.
50 And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they and layed hondes on Iesus and toke him.
And Jesus said to him, Comrade, unto what do you come? Then having come forward they laid hands on Him, and bound Him.
51 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.
And behold, one of those along with Jesus, reaching out his hand, drew his sword, and smiting the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
52 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.
Then Jesus says to him, Turn away thy sword into its place; for all taking the sword shall perish by the sword.
53 Ether thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geve me moo then. xii. legions of angelles?
Whether do you think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shuld the scriptures be fulfylled: for so must it be.
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, because it is necessary thus to be done?
55 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.
And at that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, You have come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to take me: daily did I sit with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me:
56 All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myght be fulfilled.
but all this took place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving Him, fled away.
57 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.
Taking Jesus they led Him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the chief priests and elders were assembled together.
58 And Peter folowed him a farre of vnto the hye prestes place: and went in and sate with the servauntes to se the ende.
And Peter followed Him a long way off, into the court of the high priest, and having come in, was sitting with the officers, to see the end.
59 The chefe prestes and the elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agenste Iesus for to put him to deeth
And the high priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking false testimony against Jesus, in order that they might kill Him.
60 but founde none: in somoche that when many false witnesses cam yet founde they none. At the last came two false witnesses
And they found none. And many false witnesses having come forward, they found none.
61 and sayd: This felowe sayde: I can distroye the temple of God and bylde it agayne in. iii. dayes.
And afterwards two false witnesses having come forward, said, He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and build it in three days.
62 And the chefe preste arose and sayde to him: answerest thou nothinge? How is it yt these beare witnes ageynst the?
And the high priest rising, said to Him, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you?
63 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.
And Jesus was silent; and the high priest responding said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
64 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.
Jesus says to him, Thou didst say it. Moreover I say unto you, that, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65 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:
Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, He blasphemed: why have we yet need of witnesses? behold, now you heard His blasphemy:
66 what thinke ye? They answered and sayd: he his worthy to dye.
what seems to you? They responding said, He is worthy of death.
67 Then spat they in his face and boffeted him with fistes. And other smote him with the palme af their hondes
They spat in His face, and buffeted Him: and they slapped Him,
68 on ye face sayinge: tell vs thou Christ who is he that smote the?
saying, Prophesy unto us, who is the one smiting thee?
69 Peter sate with out in the palice. And a damsell came to him sayinge: Thou also waste wt Iesus of Galilee:
And Peter was sitting without in the court. And a certain maidservant came to him, saying, Truly, thou wast with Jesus the Galilean.
70 but he denyed before the all sayinge: I woot not what thou sayst.
And he denied before all, I know not what you say.
71 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.
And another maidservant saw him, having come to the gate, and says to them there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 And agayne he denyed with an oothe that he knew the man.
And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.
73 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.
And after a little the bystanders coming to Peter, said, Truly, thou art also one of them, for indeed thy speech betrays thee.
74 Then beganne he to course and to sweare that he knewe not the man. And immedyatly the cocke krewe.
Then he began to anathematize and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75 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.
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus having spoken to him, That before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
