CHAP XIIII.

1 The Priests conspire against Christ. 3 Marie Magdalene anointeth Christ. 12 The Passeouer is 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 38 He telleth afore of the treason of Iudas. 22 The Lords sup∣per is institute. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Christ is taken. 27 Peter denyeth him.

1 ANd * two dayes after folowed (the feast of) the Pasteouer, and of vnleauened bread: and the hie Priests, and Scribes soght how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

2 But they said, Not in the feast (day,) lest there be any tumult among the people.

3 * And when he was in Bethania in the hou∣se of Simō the leper, as he sate at table, there came a woman hauing a boxe of ointment of“ spikenarde, verie costlie, and she brake the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and powred it on his head.

4 Thereforea some 〈◊〉〈◊〉 among them sel∣ues, and said, To what end is this waste of ointment?

5 For it might haue bene solde for more thenb thre hundreth pence, and bene giuen vnto the poore,c and they grudged against her.

6 But Iesus said, Let her alone: why trouble ye her? she hathe wroght a good worke on me.

7 For ye haue the poore with you alwayes, & when ye wil ye may do them good, but me ye shal not haue alwayes.

8 She hathe done that she colde: she came a∣fore hād to anoint my bodie to the burying.

9 Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Go∣spel shalbe preached throughout the whole worlde, this also that she hathe done, shalbe spoken of in remembrance of her.

10 ¶ * Thē Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelued went away vnto the high Priests, to betray him vnto them.

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they wolde giue him money: therefore he soght how he might conue∣niently betray him.

12 ¶ * Now the first day of vnleauened bread, when they sacrificed the Passeouer, his dis∣ciples said vnto him, Where wilt thou that we go the prepare, that thou maist eat the Passeouer?

13 Then he sent forthe two of his disciples, & said vnto them, Go ye into the citie, and the∣re shal a man mete you bearing a pitcher of water: folowe him.

14 And whithersoeuer he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, The Master saith, Where is the lodging where I shal eat the Passeouer with my disciples?

15 And he wil shewe you an vpper chamber (which is) large, and trimmed and prepared: there make it readie for vs.

16 So his disciples wēt forthe, and came to the citie, and founde as he had said vnto them, & made readie the Passeouer.

17 ¶ And at euen he came with the twelue.

18 * And as thei sate at table and did eat, Iesus said, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shal betray me, which eateth with me.

19 Then they began to be sorowful and to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I?

20 And he answered and said vnto them, (It is) one of the twelue thate dippeth with me in the platter.

21 * Truely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it isf written of him: but wo (be) to that man, by whome the Sōne of mā, is betrayed: it had bene good for that man, if he had ne∣uer bene borne.

22 * And as they 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Iesusg toke the bread and when he had giuen thankes, be brake it and gaue it to them, and said, * Take, eat, this is my bodie.

23 Also he toke the cup, and when he hadh gi∣uen thankes, gaue it to them: and they all dranke of it.

24 And he said vnto them, This is my blood of the new Testament, whiche is shed for ma∣nie.

25 Verely I say vnto you, I wil drinke no more of the frute of the vine, vntil that day, that I drinke it new in the kingdome of God.

26 And when they had sung a psalme, they wēt out to the mount of oliues.

27 ¶ * Then Iesus said vnto them, All ye shalbe i offended by me this night: for it is written, * I wil smite the shepherd, and the shepe shalbe scattered.

28 But after that I am risen, I wil go into * Ga∣lile before you.

29 And Peter said vnto him, Althogh all men shulde be offended, yet wolde not I.

30 Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, this day, (euen) in this night, before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie me thrise.

31 But he said more earnestly, If I shulde dye with thee, I wil not denie thee: like wise also said they all.

32 ¶ * After they came into a place named Geth semane: then he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, til I haue prayed.

33 And he toke with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and he begank to be afraied, & in great heauines,

34 And said vnto them, My soule is verie heauie, (euen) vnto the death: tary here and watch.

35 So he went forwarde a litle, and fel downe on the grounde, and prayed, that if it were possible, that houre might passe from him.

36 And he said,l Abba, Father, all things are possible vnto thee: toke away this cup from me: neuertheles not that I wil, but that thoum wilt, (be done.)

37 Then he came and founde them sleping, & said to Peter, Simon, slepest thou? coldest not thou watch one houre?

38 ¶ Watch ye, and pray, that ye entre not into tentacion: the spirit in dede is readie, but the flesh is weake.

39 And againe he went awaye, and prayed, and spake the same wordes.

40 And he returned, and founde them aslepe againe: for their eyes were heauie: nether knewe they what they shulde answer him.

41 And he came the thirde time, and said vnto them,n Slepe hence forthe, and take your rest: it is ynough: the houre is come: behold, the Sonne of man is deliuered into the hāds of sinners.

42 Rise vp: let vs go: lo, he that betrayeth me, is at hand.

43 * And immediatly while he yet spake, came Iudas that was one of the twelue, and with him a great multitude with swordes & staues from the hie Priests, and Scribes and Elders.

44 And he that betrayed him, had giuen thē a token, saying, Whomesoeuero I shal kisse, he it is: take him and leade him awaye safely.

45 And assone as he was come, he went straight waye to him, and said,p Master, Master, and kissed him.

46 Then they layed their hands on him, & toke him.

47 Andq one of them that stode by, drewe out a sworde, and smote ar seruant of the hie Priest, and cut of his eare.

48 And Iesus answered and said vnto thē, Ye become out as vnto a thefe with swordes & with staues to take me.

49 I was daiely with you teaching in the Tē∣ple, and yes toke me not: but (this is done) that the Scriptures shulde be fulfilled.

50 Then theyt all forsoke him, and fled.

51 And there folowed him a certeine yong mā clothed in linnen vpon his bare (bodie,) and the yong men caught him.

52 But he left his linnen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 * So thei led Iesus away to the hie Priest, and to him came all theu hie Priests, and the Elders, and the Scribes.

54 And Peter followed him ax farre of, euen in to the hall of the Priest, and sate with the ser uants, and warmed (him self) at the“ fyre.

55 And the * hie Priests, and all the Council soght for witnes against Iesus, to put him to death, but founde none.

56 For manie bare false witnes against him, but

their witnes“ agreed not together.

57 Then there arose certeine, and bare false witnes against him, saying,

58 We heard him say, * Iy wil destroy this Tē∣ple made with hands, and with in thre dayes I wil buylde another, made without hands.

59 But their witnes yet agreed not together.

60 Then the hie Priest stode vp amongs them, and asked Iesus, saying, Answerest thou no∣thing? what is the matter that these beare witnes against thee?

61 But he held his peace, & answered nothing Againe the hie Priest askest him, and said vn∣to him, Art thou Christ the Sonne of thez Blessed?

62 And Iesus said, I am (he,) * and ye shal se thea Sonne of man sit at the right hand of the power of (God,) and come in the cloudes of heauen.

63 Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, and said What haue we anie more nede of witnes∣ses?

64 Ye haue heard the blasphemie: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be wor∣thie of death.

65 And some began to spit at him, and to couer his face, and to beate him with fystes, and to say vnto him, Prophecie. And theb sergeants smote him with (their) rods.

66 * And as Peter was beneath in the hall, there came one of the maides of the hie Priest.

67 And when she sawe Peter warming (him self,) she loked on him, and said, Thou wast also with Iesus of Nazaret.

68 Butc he denied it, saying, I knowe him not, nether wot I what thou saiest. Then he wēt out into the“d porche, and the cocke crewe

69 * Then a maide sawe him againe, and began to say to them that stode by, This is (one) of them.

70 But he denied it againe, & anone after, they that stodeby, said againe to Peter, Surely thou art (one) of them: for thou art of Galile, and thy speache is like.

71 And he began to curse, & sweare, (saying,) I knowe not this man of whome ye speake.

72 * Then the seconde time the cocke crewe, and Peter remembred the worde that Iesus had said vnto him, Before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie my thrise, &“ waying that with him self, he wept.
