1AND when Jeshu had finished all these discourses, he said to his disciples, 2You know not that after two days is the Petzcha, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. 3Then assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, in the hall of the chief of the priests, who was called Kaiapha. 4And they held counsel concerning Jeshu, how that by artifice they might apprehend and kill him. 5And they said, Let it not be on the festival, lest there be a tumult among the people. 6And when Jeshu was at Bethania, in the house of Shemun the leper, 7there drew near to him a woman who carried a vase of aromatic balsam, great of price, and she poured it upon the head of Jeshu as he reclined. 8But his disciples saw and were displeased, and said, For what is this destruction? 9For this could have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10But Jeshu knew, and said to them, Why grieve you the woman? a good work hath she wrought upon me. 11For in all time the poor you have with you, but me you have not in all time with you. 12For this (woman) who hath poured this balsam upon my body, as unto my funeral hath done . 13And Amen I say unto you, Wheresoever this my Gospel shall be proclaimed, in all the world, this also which she hath done shall be told for her memorial. 14Then went one from the twelve, named Jihuda S'carjuta, unto the chief priests, 15and said to then, What are you willing to give me, and I will deliver him to you? But they settled to him thirty of silver. 16And from that time he sought to him opportunity to betray him. 17BUT in the first day of the (Phatiree) unleavened-bread days, the disciples came to Jeshu, and said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18But he said to them, Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, Our master saith, My time hath come! with thee will I perform the passover with my disciples. 19And the disciples did as Jeshu had commanded, and prepared the passover. 20And when it was evening, he reclined with his twelve disciples. 21And while they were eating, he said, Amen I say unto you, that one from you betrayeth me. 22And they were very sad, and began to say to him, one by one of them, My Lord, is it I? 23But he answered and said, One who dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. 24And the Son of man goeth as it is written concerning him; but woe to him, to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Better had it been for that man if he had not been born. 25Then Jihuda the traitor answered and said, Am not I (he), Rabi? Jeshu replieth to him, Thou hast said! 26But while they were eating, Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take, eat, this (is) my body. 27And he took the cup, and offered thanks, and gave to them, and said, Take, drink of this all of you: 28this (is) my blood of the new covenant, which for multitudes is shed for the remission of sins. 29But I say to you, that I will not drink from henceforth of this product of the vines, until the day in which I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of Aloha. 30And they sang praises, and went forth unto the mount of Olives. 31THEN said Jeshu unto them, You all shall be offended in me this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and scattered shall be the sheep of his flock. 32But after that I am risen I am before you in Galila. 33Kipha answered and said to him, Though every man should be offended in thee, I never will be offended in thee. 34Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, that in this night, before the cock shall crow, three times thou wilt deny me. 35Kipha saith to him, If I am to die with thee, I will not deny thee. The same also all the disciples said. 36Then cometh Jeshu with them unto the place which is called Gedsiman; and he said to his disciples, Sit here while I go and pray. 37And he took Kipha and the two sons of Zabdai; and he began to be sorrowful, and to be vehemently agonized. 38And he said to them, My soul is afflicted unto death; wait for me here, and watch with me. 39And he removed a little, and fell upon his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as thou. 40Then he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Kipha, How, could you not for one hour watch with me? 41Be watchful and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is infirm. 42Again he went the second time, and prayed, and said, My Father, if it be not possible for this cup to pass, unless I drink it, be done thy will! 43And he came again, and found them asleep; for their eyes had become heavy. 44And he left them, and went again, and prayed the third time, and said the same word. 45Then he came to the disciples, and said to them, Sleep on now, and be at rest; lo, the hour cometh, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Arise, let us go: behold, he cometh who betrayeth me. 47And while he was speaking, behold, Jihuda the traitor, one from the twelve, came, and a great multitude with him, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48And Jihuda the traitor had given to them a sign, and said, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him. 49And immediately he approached Jeshu, and said, Peace, my master! and kissed him. 50But he, Jeshu, said to him, (Is it) for that thou hast come, my companion? Then they came on, and laid their hands upon Jeshu, and took him. 51And, behold, one from those who were with Jeshu stretched forth his hand, and unsheathed a sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and took off his ear. 52Then said Jeshu to him, Return thy sword to his place; for every one of them who take swords, by swords shall die. 53Or thinkest thou that I cannot request from my Father, and he shall appoint to me now more than twelve legions of angels? 54(But) how, then, would the scripture be accomplished, that thus it ought to be? 55In that hour Jeshu said to the multitudes, As against a robber are you come out, with swords, and with clubs, to seize me? Every day with you in the temple I sat and taught, and you did not apprehend me. 56But this was done that what is written in the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all deserted him, and fled. 57And they who apprehended Jeshu led him unto Kaiapha, chief of the priests, where the jurists and elders were assembled. 58But Shemun Kipha went after him from afar unto the court of the chief of the priests, and entered and sat within with the attendants, that he might see the end. 59But the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole assembly, sought against Jeshu witnesses, that they might put him to death; 60but they found not (any). And many witnesses of falsehood came. But, last, two came near, 61declaring, This said, I can destroy the temple of Aloha, and in three days rebuild it. 62And the chief of the priests arose, and said to him, Dost thou return no word? What are these witnessing against thee? 63But Jeshu was silent. And the chief of the priests answered and said to him, I swear thee, by Aloha the Living, that thou declare to us whether thou be the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha? 64Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, That hereafter ye shall see him, the Son of man, sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 65Then the chief of the priests tore his robes, and said, Behold, he hath blasphemed! what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now we have heard his blasphemy. 66What will you? They answered saying, He deserves death. 67Then did they spit in his face, and smote him; and others struck him, 68saying, Prophesy to us, Meshicha! Who is he that smiteth thee? 69But Kipha was sitting without, in the hall, and a certain female domestic approached him, saying to him, Thou also wast with Jeshu Natsroia. 70But he denied before all, and said, I know not what thou sayest. 71And when he had gone out into the vestibule, another saw him, and said to them, This also was there with Jeshu Natsroia. 72And again he denied with oaths, I know not the man. 73But, after a little while, they who were standing drew near, and said to Kipha, Assuredly thou art of them; for thy speech also makes thee known. 74Then began he to imprecate and to swear, I know not the man! And in that hour the cock crowed. 75And Kipha remembered the word of Jeshu, who had said to him, That before the cock shall crow, three times wilt thou have denied me. And he went without, and wept bitterly.
