glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might
conveniently deliver him up.

(12)And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they
killed the passover, his disciples say to him: Where wilt thou that we
go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover? (13)And he sends
forth two of his disciples, and says to them: Go into the city, and
there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him.
(14)And where he shall go in, say to the master of the house: The
Teacher says, Where is the guest-chamber, in which I may eat the
passover with my disciples? (15)And he will show you a large upper
room furnished, ready; there prepare for us. (16)And his disciples
went forth, and came into the city, and found as he said to them; and
they made ready the passover.

(17)And at evening he comes with the twelve. (18)And as they were
reclining at table, and eating, Jesus said: Verily I say to you, that
one of you will betray me, one that eats with me! (19)And they began
to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I? And another
said: Is it I? (20)And he answering said to them: It is one of the
twelve, one that dips with me into the dish. (21)The Son of man indeed
goes, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the
Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been
born.

(22)And as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf, blessed, and broke,
and gave it to them, and said: Take it; this is my body. (23)And
taking the cup, he gave thanks, and gave it to them; and they all
drank of it. (24)And he said to them: This is my blood of the
covenant, which is shed for many. (25)Verily I say to you, I will
drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it
new in the kingdom of God.

(26)And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives.
(27)And Jesus says to them: All ye will be offended; because it is
written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
(28)But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

(29)And Peter said to him: Though all shall be offended, yet will not
I. (30)And Jesus says to him: Verily I say to thee, that thou this
day, in this night, before a cock crows twice, wilt thrice deny me.
(31)But he said the more vehemently: If I should die with thee, I will
not deny thee. Likewise also said they all.

(32)And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane. And he says
to his dis
