When Yahusha had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
19 refs

They took counsel together that they might take Yahusha by deceit, and kill him.
7 refs
5
But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

Now when Yahusha was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6 refs
7
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
9 refs
8
But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9 refs
9
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
7 refs
10
However, knowing this, Yahusha said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
21 refs
11
For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.
15 refs
12
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
6 refs
13
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
18 refs
14
Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
12 refs
15
and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
14 refs
16
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
2 refs
17
Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Yahusha, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
11 refs
18
He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ ”
17 refs
19
The disciples did as Yahusha commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
5 refs
20
Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
5 refs
21
As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
8 refs
22
They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
4 refs
23
He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
4 refs
24
The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
33 refs
25
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
8 refs
26
As they were eating, Yahusha took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
14 refs
27
He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
9 refs
28
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
21 refs
29
But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
29 refs
30
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
9 refs
31
Then Yahusha said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
15 refs
32
But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
12 refs
33
But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
13 refs
34
Yahusha said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
4 refs
35
Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
9 refs
36
Then Yahusha came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
9 refs
37
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
8 refs
38
Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”
15 refs
39
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
24 refs
40
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
11 refs
41
Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
34 refs
42
Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
8 refs
43
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
6 refs
44
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
4 refs
45
Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
10 refs
46
Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
6 refs
47
While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
6 refs
48
Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
5 refs
49
Immediately he came to Yahusha, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
11 refs
50
Yahusha said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Yahusha, and took him.
6 refs
51
Behold, one of those who were with Yahusha stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
8 refs
52
Then Yahusha said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
12 refs
53
Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
8 refs
54
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
10 refs
55
In that hour Yahusha said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
8 refs
56
But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
16 refs
57
Those who had taken Yahusha led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
7 refs
58
But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
4 refs
59
Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Yahusha, that they might put him to death;
10 refs
60
and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,
7 refs
61
and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of Elohim, and to build it in three days.’ ”
19 refs
62
The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
5 refs
63
But Yahusha held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living Elohim, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim.”
38 refs
64
Yahusha said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
20 refs
65
Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
11 refs
66
What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
5 refs
67
Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
23 refs
68
saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?”
10 refs
69
Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Yahusha, the Galilean!”
17 refs
70
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
14 refs
71
When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Yahusha of Nazareth.”
3 refs
72
Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
9 refs
73
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
4 refs
74
Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
16 refs
75
Peter remembered the word which Yahusha had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
