3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

<>Simon, <>meat, <>woman, <>spikenard

4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

<>it might have been sold … and have been given to the poor, <>the poor, <>murmured

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

<>vv. 10-11

12 And 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.

<>he sendeth forth two, <>he sendeth, <>the city

<>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.

<>answered

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.

<>Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave, <>Jesus took bread … and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

23 And he took the cup, and 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.

<>my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many, <>my blood, <>my blood … is shed for many, <>the new testament

25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

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.

<>Jesus saith … All ye shall be offended because of me

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

<>I am risen, <>I will go before you

29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

<>v. 29

30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

<>die

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

33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

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

<>tarry, <>watch

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.

<>went forward

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.

<>he said, Abba, Father, <>Abba, Father … not what I will, but what thou wilt., <>Father, all things are possible unto thee

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

<>findeth them sleeping

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

<>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.

<>neither wist they what to answer, <>wist

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.

<>the hour is come, <>into the hands

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

43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

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.

<>kiss, <>safely

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

<>he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him, <>straightway

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.

<>drew a sword, <>servant, <>high priest

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

<>thief

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

<>the temple, <>teaching, <>the scriptures must be fulfilled

<>v. 50

51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

<>young man … young men, <>naked

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

<>Peter followed him afar off

55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

<>v. 55

56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

<>many bare false witness against him, <>false witness

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

<>certain

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

<>him say, I will destroy this temple … and within three days I will build another

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

<>Answerest thou nothing? … these witness against thee

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

<>held his peace, <>peace, <>Art thou the Christ

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

<>I am, <>the Son of man … coming in the clouds of heaven, <>the right hand of power, <>right hand

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

<>began to spit on him, <>cover his face, <>Prophesy

66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

<>thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

<>to swear, <>I know not this man

72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

<>v. 3, <>accused, <>answered

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

<>that feast, <>released

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

<>committed murder

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

<>envy

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

<>moved the people

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

<>what evil hath he done?

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

<>willing to content the people

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

<>to salute him

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

<>said among themselves, <>He saved others

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

<>v. 32, <>Israel, <>reviled

<>My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

<>Elias

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

<>Joseph, <>honourable, <>the kingdom of God, <>the body of Jesus

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

<>dead … dead

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

<>he bought fine linen … and wrapped him in the linen, <>fine linen, <>hewn, <>stone, <>the door

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

<>young man, <>clothed, <>garment

6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

<>they went out quickly, <>trembled

9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

<>out of whom he had cast seven devils

10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

<>meat, <>upbraided, <>unbelief

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
