Matthew 26

1And it came to pass, when Yahusha had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 2Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4And consulted that they might take Yahusha by subtilty, and kill . 5But they said, Not on the feast , lest there be an uproar among the people. 6Now when Yahusha was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat . 8But when his disciples saw , they had indignation, saying, To what purpose this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10When Yahusha understood , he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she has wrought a good work upon me. 11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did for my burial. 13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, shall also this, that this woman has done, be told for a memorial of her. 14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15And said , What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. 17Now the first of the unleavened bread the disciples came to Yahusha, saying unto him, Where will you that we prepare for you to eat the passover? 18And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples. 19And the disciples did as Yahusha had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 20Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 21And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 23And he answered and said, He that dippeth hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 25Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, you hast said. 26And as they were eating, Yahusha took bread, and blessed , and brake , and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 31Then says Yahusha unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all shall be offended because of you, will I never be offended. 34Yahusha said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this night, before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. 35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with you, yet will I not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples. 36Then cometh Yahusha with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and says unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as you . 39And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and says unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 40Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed willing, but the flesh weak. 41He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, your will be done. 42And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 43And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 44Then cometh he to his disciples, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 45Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me. 46And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 47Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 48And forthwith he came to Yahusha, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 49And Yahusha said unto him, Friend, therefore art you come? Then came they, and laid hands on Yahusha, and took him. 50And, behold, one of them which were with Yahusha stretched out hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 51Then said Yahusha unto him, Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 52Thinkest you that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 53But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 54In that same hour said Yahusha to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 55But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 56And they that had laid hold on Yahusha led away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 57But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. 58Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Yahusha, to put him to death; 59But found none: yes, though many false witnesses came, found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 60And said, This said, I am able to destroy the temple of Elohim, and to build it in three days. 61And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest you nothing? what these witness against you? 62But Yahusha held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure you by the living Elohim, that you tell us whether you be the Messiah, the Son of Elohim. 63Yahusha says unto him, you hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 64Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 65What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 66Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote with the palms of their hands, 67Saying, Prophesy unto us, you Messiah, Who is he that smote you? 68Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, you also wast with Yahusha of Galilee. 69But he denied before all, saying, I know not what you sayest. 70And when he was gone out into the porch, another saw him, and said unto them that were there, This was also with Yahusha of Nazareth. 71And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 72And after a while came unto they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you also art of them; for your speech bewrayeth you. 73Then began he to curse and to swear, , I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 74And Peter remembered the word of Yahusha, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
