  • 1. Now ye feast of vnleuened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passeouer.
  • 2. And the chiefe Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
  • 3. Then entred Satan into Iudas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelue.
  • 4. And he went his way, and communed with the chiefe Priests and captaines, how he might betray him vnto them.
  • 5. And they were glad, and couenanted to giue him money.
  • 6. And he promised, and sought opportunitie to betray him vnto them in the absence of the multitude.
  • 7. Then came the day of vnleauened bread, when the Passeouer must be killed.
  • 8. And he sent Peter and Iohn, saying, Goe and prepare vs the Passeouer, that we may eate.
  • 9. And they said vnto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
  • 10. And he said vnto them, Behold, when ye are entred into the citie, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he entreth in.
  • 11. And yee shall say vnto the goodman of the house, The Master saith vnto thee, Where is the ghest-chamber where I shall eate the Passeouer with my disciples?
  • 12. And he shall shew you a large vpper roume furnished, there make ready.
  • 13. And they went, and found as hee had said vnto them, and they made readie the Passeouer.
  • 14. And when the houre was come, he sate downe, and the twelue Apostles with him.
  • 15. And he said vnto them, With desire I haue desired to eate this Passeouer with you before I suffer.
  • 16. For I say vnto you, I will not any more eate thereof, vntill it be fulfilled in the kingdome of God.
  • 17. And hee tooke the cup, and gaue thanks, and said, Take this, and diuide it among your selues.
  • 18. For I say vnto you, I will not drinke of the fruit of the Uine, vntill the kingdome of God shall come.
  • 19. And hee tooke bread, and gaue thankes, and brake it, and gaue vnto them, saying, This is my body which is giuen for you, this doe in remembrance of me.
  • 20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
  • 21. But beholde, the hand of him that betrayeth mee, is with mee on the table.
  • 22. And truly the Sonne of man goeth as it was determined, but woe vnto that man by whom he is betraied.
  • 23. And they began to enquire among themselues, which of them it was that should doe this thing.
  • 24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should bee accompted the greatest.
  • 25. And hee saide vnto them, The Kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship ouer them, & they that exercise authoritie vpon them, are called benefactors.
  • 26. But ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the yonger, and he that is chiefe, as he that doeth serue.
  • 27. For whether is greater, hee that sitteth at meat, or hee that serueth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as he that serueth.
  • 28. Ye are they which haue continued with me in my temptations.
  • 29. And I appoint vnto you a kingdome, as my Father hath appointed vnto me,
  • 30. That yee may eate and drinke at my table in my kingdome, and sit on thrones iudging the twelue Tribes of Israel.
  • 31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desired to haue you, that he may sift you as wheat:
  • 32. But I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not; and when thou art conuerted, strengthen thy brethren.
  • 33. And hee said vnto him, Lord, I am ready to goe with thee both into prison, and to death.
  • 34. And hee said, I tell thee Peter, the cocke shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrise denie that thou knowest me.
  • 35. And he said vnto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
  • 36. Then saide hee vnto them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and hee that hath no sword, let him sel his garment, and buy one.
  • 37. For I say vnto you, that this that is written, must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: For the things concerning me haue an end.
  • 38. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And hee saide vnto them, It is ynough.
  • 39. And he came out, and went, as hee was wont, to the mount of Oliues, and his disciples also followed him.
  • 40. And when he was at the place, he said vnto them, Pray, that yee enter not into temptation.
  • 41. And he was withdrawen from them about a stones cast, and kneeled downe, and prayed,
  • 42. Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remooue this cup from me: neuerthelesse, not my will, but thine be done.
  • 43. And there appeared an Angel vnto him from heauen, strengthening him.
  • 44. And being in an agonie, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling downe to the ground.
  • 45. And when he rose vp from prayer, and was come to his disciples, hee found them sleeping for sorrow,
  • 46. And said vnto them, Why sleepe yee? Rise, and pray, lest yee enter into temptation.
  • 47. And while he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and hee that was called Iudas, one of the twelue, went before them, and drewe neere vnto Iesus, to kisse him.
  • 48. But Iesus said vnto him, Iudas, betrayest thou the sonne of man with a kisse?
  • 49. When they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said vnto him, Lord, shall wee smite with the sword?
  • 50. And one of them smote the seruant of the high Priest, and cut off his right eare.
  • 51. And Iesus answered, and said, Suffer ye thus farre. And he touched his eare, and healed him.
  • 52. Then Iesus said vnto the chiefe Priests, and captaines of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as against a thiefe, with swords and staues?
  • 53. When I was daily with you in the Temple, yee stretched foorth no hands against mee: but this is your houre, and the power of darkenesse.
  • 54. Then tooke they him, and led him, and brought him into the high Priests house, and Peter followed afarre off.
  • 55. And when they had kindled a fire in the middes of the hall, and were set downe together, Peter sate downe among them.
  • 56. But a certaine maide beheld him as he sate by the fire, and earnestly looked vpon him, and said, This man was also with him.
  • 57. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
  • 58. And after a little while another saw him, & said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
  • 59. And about the space of one houre after, another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a trueth this fellow also was with him; for he is a Galilean.
  • 60. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately while he yet spake, the cocke crew.
  • 61. And the Lord turned, and looked vpon Peter; and Peter remembred the word of the Lord, how he had said vnto him, Before the cocke crow, thou shalt deny me thrise.
  • 62. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
  • 63. And the men that helde Iesus, mocked him, and smote him.
  • 64. And when they had blindfolded him, they stroke him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesie, who is it that smote thee?
  • 65. And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
  • 66. And assoone as it was day, the Elders of the people, & the chiefe Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their Councell, saying,
  • 67. Art thou the Christ? Tell vs. And hee said vnto them, If I tell you, you will not beleeue.
  • 68. And if I also aske you, you will not answere me, nor let me goe.
  • 69. Hereafter shal the sonne of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
  • 70. Then said they all, Art thou then the Sonne of God? And hee said vnto them, Ye say that I am.
  • 71. And they said, What need we any further witnesse? For wee our selues haue heard of his owne mouth.
