1BUT the feast of the Phatiree, which is called Petscha, drew on. 2And the chief priests and the Sophree sought how they might kill him; for they feared from the people. 3But Satana entered into Jihuda called Scarjuta, who was of the number of the twelve. 4And he went, and spoke with the chief priests, and the Sophree, and the chief authorities of the temple, how he would deliver him to them. 5And they were glad, and confirmed to give him silver. 6And he promised to them, and sought him opportunity to betray him apart from the multitude. 7And the day of unleavened bread came, on which it was the custom to slay the petscha. 8And Jeshu sent Kipha and Juchanon, and said to them, Go prepare for us the petscha, that we may eat. 9But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10He saith to them, When, you have entered into the city, a man meeteth you, bearing a pitcher of waters; go after him, and when he hath gone in, 11say to the lord of the house, Our Master saith, Is there a dining-place where I may eat the petscha with my disciples? 12And he will show you a certain large upper chamber which is furnished: there make ready. 13And they went, and found as he had told them: and they prepared the petscha. 14And when it was time, Jeshu came and reclined, and the twelve apostles with him. 15And he said to them, With desire have I desired to eat this petscha with you before I suffer: 16for I tell you that from henceforth I shall not eat it, until it shall have been fulfilled in the kingdom of Aloha. 17And he took the cup, and praised, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18for I tell you that I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Aloha shall have come. 19And he took bread, and praised, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body which for you is given: this do in my memory. 20And thus also respecting the cup, when, after they had supped, he said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which for you is shed. 21Nevertheless, the hand of him who betrayeth me is on the table. 22And the Son of man goeth, as he was set apart: nevertheless woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! 23And they began to inquire among themselves, who it was of them who this should do. 24But there was also a contention among them, who of them was the greatest. 25And Jeshu said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are their lords; and they who exercise authority over them, doers of good are called. 26But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth. 27For who is greatest, he who reclineth, or he who serveth? Is not he who reclineth? But I am among you as he who serveth. 28You are they who have remained with me in my temptations. 29And I promise to you, as hath promised to me my Father, a kingdom; 30that you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Isroel. 31AND Jeshu said to Shemun, Shemun, behold, Satana, demandeth to sift thee as wheat; 32but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and thou also, in the time that thou art converted, confirm thy brethren. 33But Shemun said to him, My Lord, with thee I am prepared, and for the house of the bound, and for death. 34Jeshu saith to him, I tell thee, Shemun, that the cock will not crow to-day, till three times thou hast denied that thou knowest me. 35And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or shoes, was any thing wanting to you? They say to him, Nothing. 36He saith to them, Henceforth, he who hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip also; and he who hath not a sword, let him sell his garment and buy a sword. 37For I tell you also, that what is written must be fulfilled in me, that with the transgressors he was numbered: for all which concerns me must be accomplished. 38And they say to him, Our Lord, behold, here are two swords. He saith to them, They suffice. 39And he came forth, and went, as he was used, to the mount of the Place of Olives; and his disciples also went after him. 40And when come unto the spot, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation. 41And he removed from them as (about the distance of) a stone's throw, and bowed the knee, and prayed, 42and said, Father, if thou wilt, let this cup pass: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. 43And an angel appeared to him from heaven, who strengthened him. 44And being in terror, more vehemently he prayed, and his sweat was as drops of blood, and fell upon the ground. 45And he arose from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them asleep, from sorrow. 46And he said to them, Why sleep you? arise and pray, that you enter not into temptation. 47And as he was speaking, behold a multitude, and behold him who was called Jihuda, one of the twelve, coming before them, and he came nigh to Jeshu, and kissed him: for this was the sign he had given to them, He whom I shall kiss is he. 48Jeshu saith to him, Jihuda, with the kiss betrayest thou the Son of man? 49But when they who were with him saw what was done, they say to him, Our Lord, shall we strike with the sword? 50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear. 51Jeshu answered and said, It sufficeth until this; and he touched his ear which he had struck, and healed it. 52And Jeshu said to them who had come against him, the chief priests, and elders, and the chiefs of the forces of the temple, As against a thief are you come forth against me, with swords and clubs to take me? 53Every day with you have I been in the temple, and you did not stretch forth upon me (your) hands; but this is your hour and the power of darkness. 54And they took (and) brought him to the house of the chief of the priests; and Shemun came after him from afar. 55Now they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting around it, and Shemun also sat with them. 56And a certain damsel saw him as he sat by the fire, and, looking at him, she said, This also was with him. 57But he denied, and said, Woman, I know him not. 58And after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou also art of them. But Kipha said, I am not. 59And after one hour another contended and said, Assuredly this also was with him, for he is also a Galiloya. 60Kipha saith, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once, while he was speaking, the cock crew. 61And Jeshu turned, and looked upon Kipha; and Shemun remembered his word which our Lord had spoken to him, that before the cock shall crow thou wilt have denied me three times. 62And Shemun went without and wept bitterly. 63And the men who held Jeshu mocked him, 64and veiled him, and they struck him upon the face, saying, Prophesy, who struck thee. 65And many other things they blasphemed and spake against him. 66AND when it dawned, the elders and chief priests and the Sophree came together, and took him into the house of their assembly; saying to him, 67Art thou the Meshicha? tell us. He saith to them, Should I tell you, you would not believe me; 68and were I to ask you, you would not return me a word, nor release me. 69Henceforth the Son of man sitteth at the right hand of the power of Aloha. 70Then said they all, Thou art, then, the Son of Aloha? Jeshu saith to them, You say that I am. 71They say, Why yet need we witnesses? for we have heard from his mouth.
