8 A nd when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, For what purpose is all this waste?

But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end this waste?

9 F or this perfume might have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor.

for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.

10 B ut Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, Why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me.

But Jesus knowing said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.

11 F or you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me.

For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

Now on the first of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

18 H e said, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, The Master says: My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.

And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.

23 H e replied, He who has dipped his hand in the same dish with Me will betray Me!

But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is who shall deliver me up.

24 T he Son of Man is going just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better (more profitable and wholesome) for that man if he had never been born!

The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

25 J udas, the betrayer, said, Surely it is not I, is it, Master? He said to him, You have stated.

And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou hast said.

26 N ow as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, praising God, gave thanks and asked Him to bless it to their use, and when He had broken it, He gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

Then saith Jesus to them, All ye shall be offended in me during this night. For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 B ut after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.

But after that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

33 P eter declared to Him, Though they all are offended and stumble and fall away because of You, I will never do so.

And Peter answering said to him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

34 J esus said to him, Solemnly I declare to you, this very night, before a single rooster crows, you will deny and disown Me three times.

Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

35 P eter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And all the disciples said the same thing.

Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.

Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.

And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou.

40 A nd He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, What! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour?

And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?

41 A ll of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed ready, but the flesh weak.

42 A gain a second time He went away and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done.

Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.

43 A nd again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down with sleep.

And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44 S o, leaving them again, He went away and prayed for the third time, using the same words.

45 T hen He returned to the disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of especially wicked sinners '> whose way or nature it is to act in opposition to God].

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.

49 A nd he came up to Jesus at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him and kissed Him with warmth and devotion.

And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.

52 T hen Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.

53 D o you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions '> more than 80, 000] of angels?

Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 B ut how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must come about this way?

How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

55 A t that moment Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber to capture Me? Day after day I was accustomed to sit in the porches and courts of the temple teaching, and you did not arrest Me.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

56 B ut all this has taken place in order that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples deserted Him and, fleeing, escaped.

But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

62 A nd the high priest stood up and said, Have You no answer to make? What about this that these men testify against You?

And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

63 B ut Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, I call upon you to swear by the living God, and tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.

But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if thou art the Christ the Son of God.

64 J esus said to him, You have stated. More than that, I tell you: You will in the future see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of the sky.

Jesus says to him, Thou hast said. Moreover, I say to you, From henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

65 T hen the high priest tore his clothes and exclaimed, He has uttered blasphemy! What need have we of further evidence? You have now heard His blasphemy.

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed: what need have we any more of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy.

70 B ut he denied it falsely before them all, saying, I do not know what you mean.

But he denied before all, saying, I do not know what thou sayest.

71 A nd when he had gone out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, This fellow was with Jesus the Nazarene!

And when he had gone out into the entrance, another saw him, and says to those there, This also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

72 A nd again he denied it and disowned Him with an oath, saying, I do not know the Man!

And again he denied with an oath: I do not know the man.

73 A fter a little while, the bystanders came up and said to Peter, You certainly are one of them too, for even your accent betrays you.

And after a little, those who stood, coming to, said to Peter, Truly thou too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.

74 T hen Peter began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, I do not even know the Man! And at that moment a rooster crowed.
