11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

(14.22-24) Jesus tells his disciples to eat his body and drink his blood.

, and blessed, and brake it,
and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

(14.22)

when he had given thanks, he
gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

24
And he said
unto them,
This is my blood
of the new testament, which is shed for many.

I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

(14.30)
“Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.”
379 Did Jesus say before the cock crow or before the cock crow twice?

32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

(14.35-36)
381 Did Jesus ask God to save him from crucifixion?

35 And
he
went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and
prayed that
, if it were possible,
the hour might pass from him.

(14.35)
“He … prayed that … the hour might pass from him.”

36 And
he said, Abba, Father
, all things are possible unto thee;
take away this cup from me:
nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

(14.36)
“He said, Abba, Father … take away this cup from me.”

37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

(14.43-45)
382 Did Judas identify Jesus with a kiss?

, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

(14.43)
“While he yet spake, cometh Judas.”

44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token,
saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he
; take him, and lead him away safely.

(14.44)
“Saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he.”

45 And as soon as he was come,
he
goeth straightway to him, and
saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

(14.45)
“He … saith, Master, master; and kissed him.”

46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

(14.51-52) One of the followers of Jesus was a young, nearly naked man who dropped his linen cloth and “fled from them naked” when the priests came to arrest Jesus.
