And after two days was the Passover of unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by deceit and kill him.
܀
And they were saying, Not at the feast, lest there be a disturbance among the people.
܀
And when he was in Beth-Anya in the house of Shimon the leper, as he reclined, a woman came who had on her an alabaster flask of nard perfume, pure, of great price; and she opened it and poured it on the head of Y'shua.
܀
But there were some of the disciples who were displeased in themselves and said, Why was this waste of the perfume?
܀
For it could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they were angry with her.
܀
But Y'shua said, Leave her alone. Why are you troubling her? She has done a beautiful deed for me.
܀
For the poor are always with you, and whenever you want you can do what is good for them. But I am not always with you.
܀
What she had she has done, and she has gone ahead and anointed my body as for burial.
܀
Truly I say to you that wherever this good news of mine is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.
܀
But Yehuda Sakaryota, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to hand Y'shua over to them.
܀
And when they heard, they rejoiced and promised to give him money. And he was seeking an opportunity to hand him over.
܀
And on the first day of unleavened bread, on which the Yehudaye sacrifice the passover, his disciples said to him: Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the passover?
܀
And he sent two of his disciples and said to them: Go to the city, and look, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Go after him.
܀
And wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: Our Rabbi says, Where is the lodging place where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?
܀
And look, he will show you a large upper room that is furnished and prepared. There make ready for us.
܀
And his disciples went out and came into the city and found it as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
܀
And when it was evening, he came with his twelve.
܀
And as they were reclining and eating, Y'shua said: Amen, I say to you that one of you who eats with me will betray me.
܀
And they began to be distressed, and they said to him one by one, Is it I?
܀
And he said to them, It is one of the twelve who dips with me in the dish.
܀
And the Son of man goes as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whose hand the Son of man is delivered up. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.
܀
And as they were eating, Y'shua took bread and blessed and broke and gave to them, and said to them, Take; this is my body.
܀
And he took the cup and gave thanks and blessed and gave to them, and they all drank from it.
܀
And he said to them, This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
܀
Truly I say to you, that I will not drink again of the produce of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of Elohim.
܀
And they sang praise and went out to the mount of Olives.
܀
And Y'shua said to them: All of you will be stumbled in me this night, for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and his sheep will be scattered.
܀
But when I have risen, I will go before you to Galila.
܀
Keefa said to him: Even if all of them are stumbled, yet I will not.
܀
Y'shua said to him: Truly I say to you, that today, in this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.
܀
But he was saying all the more: If it should be for me to die with you, I will not deny you, my Master. And like him, they also all said.
܀
And they came to the place which is called Gadsaman, and he said to his disciples, Sit here while I pray.
܀
And he took with him Keefa and Ya'akov and Yochanan, and began to be gloomy and distressed.
܀
And he said to them: My soul is in anguish even to death. Stay here and be watchful.
܀
And he drew near a little and fell on the ground, and was praying that if it is possible the hour might pass from him.
܀
And he said: Abba, my Father, you can do all things. Let this cup pass from me. Yet not my will, but yours.
܀
And he came and found them sleeping. And he said to Keefa, Shimon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
܀
Watch and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing and ready, but the body is weak.
܀
And he went again and prayed, and said the same word.
܀
And he returned and came again and found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to say to him.
܀
And he came the third time and said to them, Sleep on now and take your rest. The end has come, and the hour has come, and look, the Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
܀
Get up, let us go. Look, the one who hands me over is near.
܀
And while he was still speaking, Yehuda Skaryota, one of the twelve, came, and a large crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
܀
And the betrayer who was handing him over had given them a sign and said, The one I kiss is he. Seize him carefully and lead him away.
܀
And at once he came near and said to him, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.
܀
But they laid hands on him and seized him.
܀
But one of those standing by drew a sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
܀
But Y'shua answered and said to them, Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me?
܀
Every day I was with you while I taught in the temple, and you did not seize me. But this has happened so that the writings may be fulfilled.
܀
Then his disciples left him and fled.
܀
And a certain young man followed after him, wrapped in a linen cloth on his naked body, and they seized him.
܀
But he left the linen cloth and fled naked.
܀
And they led Y'shua away to Qayapa the high priest, and all the chief priests and the scribes and the elders assembled to him.
܀
But Shimon followed after him from a distance as far as inside the courtyard of the high priest, and he sat with the servants and warmed himself opposite the fire.
܀
But the chief priests and all their assembly were seeking testimony against Y'shua to put him to death, and they did not find it.
܀
For many were testifying against him, but their testimonies were not equal.
܀
But some false witnesses stood up against him and said:
܀
We heard him say, I will tear down this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another that is not made with hands.
܀
And not even so was their testimony equal.
܀
And the chief priest stood up in the middle and asked Y'shua and said, Do you not return an answer? What are these testifying against you?
܀
But he was silent and answered him nothing. And again the high priest asked him and said, Are you the Mashiyach, the Son of the Blessed?
܀
But Y'shua said to him, I am. And you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.
܀
Then the high priest tore his tunic and said, What further need do we have of witnesses?
܀
Look, from his mouth you have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you? And they all judged that he is guilty of death.
܀
And some began to spit in his face and to cover his face and strike him and say, Prophesy! And the servants were hitting him on his cheeks.
܀
And while Shimon was below in the courtyard, one maid of the high priest came,
܀
and saw him warming himself; and she looked at him and said to him: And you also were with Y'shua the Natsraya.
܀
But he denied and said: I do not know what you are saying. And he went out outside to the porch; and the rooster crowed.
܀
And the maid saw him again, and she began to say to those standing by: This one also is one of them.
܀
But he again denied it. And a little after, those standing there said again to Keefa: Truly you are one of them; for you are also a Galilaya, and your speech is like it.
܀
And he began to curse and swear: I do not know this man of whom you speak.
܀
And at that hour the rooster crowed a second time. And Shimon remembered the word of Y'shua, who had said to him: Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times. And he began to weep.
