Matthew

Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:42

Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Matthew 26:43

And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

Matthew 26:44

And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

Matthew 26:45

Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Matthew 26:46

Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

Matthew 26:47

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

Matthew 26:48

Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

Matthew 26:49

And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

Matthew 26:50

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Matthew 26:51

And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

Matthew 26:52

Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Matthew 26:53

Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

Matthew 26:54

How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

Matthew 26:55

In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

Matthew 26:56

But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

Matthew 26:57

And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

Matthew 26:58

But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.

Matthew 26:59

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

Matthew 26:60

and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

Matthew 26:61

and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

Matthew 26:62

And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

Matthew 26:63

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

Matthew 26:64

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

Matthew 26:65

Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

Matthew 26:66

what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

Matthew 26:67

Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,

Matthew 26:68

saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

Matthew 26:69

Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

Matthew 26:70

But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

Matthew 26:71

And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

Matthew 26:72

And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

Matthew 26:73

And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.

Matthew 26:74

Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

Matthew 26:75

And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Matthew 27:1

Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Matthew 27:2

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

Matthew 27:3

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Matthew 27:4

saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it] .

Matthew 27:5

And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

Matthew 27:6

And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.

Matthew 27:7

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

Matthew 27:8

Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.

Matthew 27:9

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price;

Matthew 27:10

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

Matthew 27:11

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

Matthew 27:12

And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

Matthew 27:13

Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

Matthew 27:14

And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

Matthew 27:15

Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.
