But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
5 for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.

6 And Jesus said, 'Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.'
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

15 and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.'

29 And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'
But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
30 And Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'
Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 And he spake the more vehemently, 'If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in no wise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.
But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.

He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 'Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

45 and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, 'Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.

Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,

The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
61 and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?'
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 and Jesus said, 'I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.'

As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
67 and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
68 and he denied, saying, 'I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.
But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — 'This is of them;'

70 and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, 'Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
71 and he began to anathematize, and to swear — 'I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'
But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”

The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
