22 And the holiday of therf loaves, that is said pask, approached.^[a]

² And the princes of priests and the scribes sought, how they should slay Jesus, but they dreaded the people.

³ And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.

⁴ And he went, and spake with the princes of priests, and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.

⁵ And they joyed, and made covenant to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people. [And he promised, and he sought covenability, that he should betray him, without the companies.]

⁷ But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need, that the sacrifice of pask were slain [in which it was need, that pask, that is, the sacrifice of pask, be slain].

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, and said [saying], Go ye, and make ready to us the pask, that we eat.

⁹ And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make ready?

¹⁰ And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; follow ye him into the house, into which he entereth.

¹¹ And ye shall say to the husbandman of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber [Where is the harbourgerie], where I shall eat the pask with my disciples?

¹² And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the pask.

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat to the meat [he sat to meat], and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer;

¹⁶ for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God.

¹⁷ And when he had taken the cup, he did graces [he did thankings], and said, Take ye, and part ye among you;

¹⁸ for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind of this vine [soothly I say to you, I shall not drink of the generation of this vine], till the realm of God come.

¹⁹ And when he had taken bread, he did thankings, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me. [And the bread taken, he did graces, or thankings, and brake, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which shall be given for you; do ye this thing into my commemoration, or into mind of me.]

²⁰ He took also the cup, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you. [Also and the chalice, after that he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.]

²¹ Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.

²² And [soothly] man's Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.

²³ And they began to seek among them[selves], who it was of them, that was to do this thing.

²⁴ And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.

²⁵ But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers, [Forsooth he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords, or lordship, of them, and they that have power upon them be called good doers,]

²⁶ but ye not so; but he that is greatest among you, be made as a younger [be made as the younger], and he that is [a] before-goer, as a servant.

²⁷ For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle of you [Forsooth I am in the midst of you], as he that ministereth.

²⁸ And ye [it] be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations; [Soothly ye it be that have dwelt with me in my temptations;]

²⁹ and I assign to you, as my Father hath assigned to me, a realm, [and I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a realm,]

³⁰ that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel [deeming the twelve kindreds of Israel].

³¹ And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked (for) you, that he should riddle you as wheat;

³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted [and thou converted sometime], confirm thy brethren.

³³ Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee. [Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, and into prison and into death.]

³⁴ And he said, I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to day, till thou thrice forsake that thou knowest me.

³⁵ And he said to them, When I sent you without satchel, and scrip, and shoes, whether any thing failed to you? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶ Therefore he said to them, But now he that hath a satchel, take also and a scrip; and he that hath none [and he that hath not], sell his coat, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I say to you, that yet it behooveth that thing [this thing] that is written to be fulfilled in me, And he is areckoned with wicked men; for those things that be of me have an end.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, lo! two swords here. And he said to them, It is enough.

³⁹ And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives [And he gone out, went by custom into the hill of Olives]; and the disciples followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone's cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,

⁴² and said [saying], Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine [nevertheless not my will, but thine be done].

⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him [comforting him].

⁴⁴ And he was made in agony, and prayed the longer [And he made in agony, either anguish, prayed longer]; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.

⁴⁵ And when he was risen from prayer [And when he had risen from prayer], and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.

⁴⁶ And he said to them, What sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye [Rise ye, and pray], that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷ Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came [nigh] to Jesus, to kiss him.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou man's Son with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And they that were about him, and saw that that was to come, said to him, Lord, whether we smite with sword?

⁵⁰ And one of them smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered, and said, Suffer ye till hither. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to them, that came to him, the princes of priests, and magistrates of the temple [and magistrates, or masters, of the temple], and elder men, As to a thief ye have gone out with swords and staves?

⁵³ When I was each day with you in the temple, ye stretched not out [the] hands into me; but this is your hour, and the power of darknesses.

⁵⁴ And they took him, and led to the house of the prince of priests; and Peter followed him afar.

⁵⁵ And when a fire was kindled in the middle of the great house, and they sat about, Peter was in the middle of them.

⁵⁶ Whom when a damsel had seen sitting at the light^[b], and had beheld him, she said, And this was with him.

⁵⁷ And he denied him, and said [saying], Woman, I know him not.

⁵⁸ And after a little another man saw him, and said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, A! man, I am not.

⁵⁹ And when a space was made as of one hour, [soothly] another affirmed, and said [saying], Truly this was with him; for also he is of Galilee.

⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once [And anon] yet while he spake, the cock crew.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned again [And the Lord turned], and beheld Peter; and Peter had mind of the word of Jesus, as he had said, Before that the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.

⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³ And the men that held him scorned him, and smote him.

⁶⁴ And they blindfolded him, and smote his face, and asked him, and said, Declare, thou Christ, to us, who is he that smote thee? [And they veiled him, and smote his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy thou, who is it that smote thee?]

⁶⁵ Also they blaspheming said against him many other things. [Also they blaspheming said many other things against him.]

⁶⁶ And as the day was come, the elder men of the people, and the princes of priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, and said [saying],

⁶⁷ If thou art Christ, say to us. And he said to them, If I say to you, ye will not believe to me;

⁶⁸ and if I ask, ye will not answer to me, neither ye will deliver me. [soothly and if I shall ask, ye shall not answer to me, neither ye shall let go.]

⁶⁹ But after this time man's Son shall be sitting on the right half of the virtue of God.

⁷⁰ Therefore all said, Then art thou the Son of God? And he said, Ye say that I am.

⁷¹ And they said, What yet desire we witnessing? for we ourselves have heard of his mouth.
