1And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:

2Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.

3Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas

4and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.

5But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.

6When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper

7ther came vnto him a woman which had an alablaster boxe of precious oyntment and powred it on his heed as he sate at the bourde.

8When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?

9This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre. When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the:

10why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.

11For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.

12And in that she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me with all.

13Verely I saye vnto you wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached throughoute all the worlde there shall also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoriall of her.

14Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes

15and sayd: what will ye geve me and I will deliver him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto him thirty peces of sylver.

16And from that tyme he sought oportunite to betraye him.

17The fyrst daye of swete breed the disciples cam to Iesus sayinge vnto him: where wylt thou that we prepare for the to eate the paschall lambe?

18And he sayd: Go into the cite vnto soche a man and saye to him: the master sayeth my tyme is at hande I will kepe myne ester at thy housse with my disciples.

19And the disciples did as Iesus had apoynted them and made redy the esterlambe.

20When the even was come he sate doune with the .xii.

21And as they dyd eate he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me.

22And they were excedinge sorowfull and beganne every one of the to saye vnto him: is it I master?

23He answered and sayde: he that deppeth his honde with me in the disshe the same shall betraye me.

24The sonne of man goeth as it is written of him: but wo be to that man by whom the sonne of man shalbe betrayed. It had bene good for that man yf he had never bene borne.

25Then Iudas wich betrayed him answered and sayde: is it I master? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayde.

26As they dyd eate Iesus toke breed and gave thankes brake it and gave it to the disciples and sayde: Take eate this is my body.

27And he toke the cup and thanked and gave it them sayinge: drinke of it every one.

28For this is my bloude of the new testament that shalbe shedde for many for the remission of synnes.

29I saye vnto you: I will not drinke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tree vntyll that daye when I shall drinke it new with you in my fathers kyngdome.

30And when they had sayde grace they went out into mounte olyvete.

31Then sayd Iesus vnto them: all ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is wrytten. I will smyte the shepe herde and the shepe of the flocke shalbe scattered abroode.

32But after I am rysen ageyne I will goo before you into Galile.

33Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by the yet wolde I never be offended.

34Iesus sayde vnto him. Verely I saye vnto the that this same night before the cocke crowe thou shalt denye me thryse.

35Peter sayde vnto him: Yf I shulde dye with the yet wolde I not denye the Lyke wyse also sayde all the disciples.

36Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane and sayde vnto the disciples syt ye here whyll I go and praye yonder.

37And he toke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to wexe sorowfull and to be in an agonye.

38Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche with me.

39And he went a lytell aparte and fell flat on his face and prayed sayinge: O my father yf it be possible let this cuppe passe from me: neverthelesse not as I wyll but as thou wylt.

40And he came vnto the disciples and founde them a slepe and sayde to Peter: what coulde ye not watche with me one houre:

41watche and praye that ye fall not into temptacion. The spirite is willynge but the flesshe is weake.

42He went awaye once moare and prayed sayinge: O my father yf this cuppe can not passe away from me but that I drinke of it thy wyll be fulfylled.

43And he came and founde the a slepe agayne. For their eyes were hevy.

44And he lefte them and went agayne and prayed the thrid tyme sayinge the same wordes.

45Then came he to his disciples and sayd vnto them: Slepe hence forth and take youre reest. Take hede the houre is at honde and the sonne of man shalbe betrayed into the hondes of synners.

46Ryse let vs be goinge: beholde he is at honde that shall betraye me.

47Whyll he yet spake: lo Iudas one of the xii. came and with him a greate multitude with sweardes and staves sent from the chefe prestes and elders of the people.

48And he that betrayed him had geven the a token sayinge: whosoever I kysse that same is he ley hondes on him.

49And forth with all he came to Iesus and sayde: hayle master and kyssed him.

50And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they and layed hondes on Iesus and toke him.

51And beholde one of them which were with Iesus stretched oute his honde and drue his swearde and stroke a servaunt of the hye preste and smote of his eare.

52Then sayde Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swearde into his sheathe. For all that ley hond on the swearde shall perisshe with the swearde.

53Ether thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geve me moo then .xii. legions of angelles?

54But how then shuld the scriptures be fulfylled: for so must it be.

55The same tyme sayd Iesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves for to take me. I sate daylie teachinge in the temple amonge you and ye toke me not.

56All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myght be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsoke him and fleed.

57And they toke Iesus and leed him to Cayphas the hye preeste where the Scribes and the Elders where assembled.

58And Peter folowed him a farre of vnto the hye prestes place: and went in and sate with the servauntes to se the ende.

59The chefe prestes and the elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agenste Iesus for to put him to deeth

60but founde none: in somoche that when many false witnesses cam yet founde they none. At the last came two false witnesses and sayd:

61This felowe sayde: I can distroye the temple of God and bylde it agayne in .iii. dayes.

62And the chefe preste arose and sayde to him: answerest thou nothinge? How is it that these beare witnes ageynst the?

63But Iesus helde his peace: And the chefe Preeste answered and sayd to him: I charge the in the name of the lyvinge God that thou tell vs whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.

64Iesus sayd to him: thou haste sayd. Neverthelesse I saye vnto you hereafter shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right honde of power and come in the clowddes of the skye.

65Then the hye preste rent his clothes sayinge: He hath blasphemed: what nede we of eny moo witnesses? Behold now ye have hearde his blasphemy:

66what thinke ye? They answered and sayd: he his worthy to dye.

67Then spat they in his face and boffeted him with fistes. And other smote him with the palme af their hondes on the face

68sayinge: tell vs thou Christ who is he that smote the?

69Peter sate with out in the palice. And a damsell came to him sayinge: Thou also waste with Iesus of Galilee:

70but he denyed before the all sayinge: I woot not what thou sayst.

71When he was goone out into the poorche another wenche sawe him and sayde vnto them that were there: This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth.

72And agayne he denyed with an oothe that he knew the man.

73And after a whyle came vnto him they that stode bye and sayde vnto Peter: suerly thou arte even one of the for thy speache bewreyeth the.

74Then beganne he to course and to sweare that he knewe not the man. And immedyatly the cocke krewe.

75And Peter remembred the wordes of Iesu which sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe thou shalt deny me thryse: and went out at the dores and wepte bitterly.
