Matthew 26 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,

2Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is

delivered up to be crucified.

3Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;

4and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

5But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.

6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7there came unto him a woman having

8But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

12For in that she

14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

17Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

18And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

19And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

22And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?

30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

31Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written,

offended.

34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

35Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

36Then cometh Jesus with them unto

a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.

38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me.

39And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

42Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

43And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

45Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them,

Or, Do ye sleep on, then, and take your rest?

Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is

47And 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.

48Now he that

49And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and

kissed him.

50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

51And 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.

52Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

54How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55In 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.

56But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

57And 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.

58But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.

59Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

60and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

61and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the

temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63But 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.

64Jesus saith 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.

65Then 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:

66what think ye? They answered and said, He is

worthy of death.

67Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him

with the palms of their hands,

68saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

69Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

71And 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.

72And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

73And 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.

74Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

75And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
