The plot and the supper

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread was near, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes looked for a way to kill him, because they were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. And he went and talked with the chief priests and the officers of the temple about how he might betray him to them. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. And he promised, and looked for an opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd wasn't there. Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb had to be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and get the Passover ready for us to eat. And they said to him, Where do you want us to get it ready? And he said to them, Look — when you have gone into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he goes into. And you will say to the owner of the house, The Master says to you, Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples? And he will show you a large upper room, furnished. Get it ready there. And they went and found it as he had told them, and they got the Passover ready. And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them, I have longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. Because I tell you, I won't eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup and gave thanks, and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves. Because I tell you, I won't drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. And likewise the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But look — the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table. And truly the Son of man goes as it was determined. But trouble is coming to that man by whom he is betrayed. And they began to ask among themselves which of them it was who was going to do this.

Now the feast of unleavened bread was close, called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes looked for how they could kill him. Because they were frightened of the people. Then Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way and talked with the chief priests and captains, how he could hand him over to them. And they were glad and promised to give him money. And he promised and looked for a chance to hand him over to them when the crowd wasn't there. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover had to be killed. And he sent Peter and John: Go and get the Passover ready for us, so we can eat. And they said to him: Where do you want us to get it ready? And he said to them: Look — when you've gone into the town, a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house where he goes in. And you'll say to the master of the house: The Teacher says to you: Where's the guest room, where I'll eat the Passover with my disciples? And he'll show you a big upper room furnished. Get it ready there. And they went and found it the way he'd said to them. And they got the Passover ready. And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them: I've very much wanted to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. Because I say to you, I won't eat of it any more till it's carried out in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup and gave thanks and said: Take this and divide it among yourselves. Because I say to you, I won't drink of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God comes. And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave to them: This is my body, that's given for you. Do this in memory of me. The same way the cup too after supper: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that's poured out for you. But look — the hand of the one who hands me over is with me on the table. And truly the Son of Man goes the way it was settled. But trouble is coming to that man who he's handed over by. And they started to ask among themselves which of them it was who'd do this thing.

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

And there was an argument among them as well, about which of them should be counted the greatest. And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors. But you won't be like that. Let the greatest among you be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. Because which is greater — the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. You are the ones who have stayed with me in my trials. And I appoint a kingdom to you, just as my Father appointed one to me, so you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, look — Satan has asked to have you, to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith won't fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death. And he said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster won't crow today before you have three times denied that you know me. And he said to them, When I sent you out with no purse or bag or shoes, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. Then he said to them, But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and his bag as well. And whoever has no sword, let him sell his coat and buy one. Because I tell you that this that is written must still be carried out in me: And he was counted among the lawless. Because the things about me are coming to an end. And they said, Lord, look — here are two swords. And he said to them, That is enough.

And there was an argument among them too, which of them should be counted the greatest. And he said to them: The kings of the nations lord it over them. And the ones who use authority on them are called benefactors. But you won't be like that. But the one who's greatest among you, let him be like the younger. And the one who's chief like the one who serves. Because which is greater, the one who sits at table or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at table? But I'm among you as the one who serves. You're the ones who've stayed with me in my testings. And I set a kingdom for you, the way my Father has set one for me.

And he said to them: When I sent you without purse and bag and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said: Nothing. Then he said to them: But now the one who's got a purse, let him take it, and his bag too. And the one who hasn't got a sword, let him sell his coat and buy one. Because I say to you that this that's written still has to be carried out in me: And he was counted among the ones who stepped over the line. Because the things about me have an end. And they said: Lord, look — here are two swords. And he said to them: It's enough.

And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

24

But you won't be like that. Let the greatest among you be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

Plain English

But you won't be like that. But the one who's greatest among you, let him be like the younger. And the one who's chief like the one who serves.

King James Version, 1611

But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

27

Because which is greater — the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Plain English

Because which is greater, the one who sits at table or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who sits at table? But I'm among you as the one who serves.

King James Version, 1611

28

You are the ones who have stayed with me in my trials.

Plain English

You're the ones who've stayed with me in my testings.

King James Version, 1611

Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29

And I appoint a kingdom to you, just as my Father appointed one to me,

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered, Let it go this far. And he touched his ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and the officers of the temple and the elders who had come to him, Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though against a robber? When I was with you daily in the temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then they took him and led him away and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance. And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain servant girl saw him as he sat by the fire, and looked hard at him and said, This man was with him too. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I don't know him.

And about an hour later another man insisted, saying, This fellow was certainly with him too, because he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I don't know what you are talking about. And straight away, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times. And Peter went out and wept bitterly. And the men who held Jesus mocked him and struck him. And when they had blindfolded him they hit him on the face and asked him, saying, Prophesy — who was it that hit you? And they said many other blasphemous things against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together and led him into their council, saying, Are you the Christ? Tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, you won't believe. And if I ask you, you won't answer me or let me go. From now on the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the power of God. Then they all said, Are you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that I am. And they said, What further witness do we need? Because we have heard it ourselves from his own mouth.

And while he was still speaking, look — a crowd, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, went in front of them and came near Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to him: Judas, do you hand over the Son of Man with a kiss? When the ones about him saw what would follow, they said to him: Lord, should we strike with the sword? And one of them struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered: Let it be this far. And he touched his ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and the elders who'd come to him: Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was with you daily in the temple, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then they took him and led him and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed a long way off. And when they'd lit a fire in the middle of the hall and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain servant girl saw him as he sat by the fire and looked at him hard: This man was with him too. And he denied him: Woman, I don't know him.

And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he'd said to him: Before the cock crows, you'll deny me three times. And Peter went out and wept bitterly. And the men who held Jesus made fun of him and struck him. And when they'd covered his eyes, they struck him on the face and asked him: Prophesy, who is it who struck you? And plenty of other things they spoke against him, insulting him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together and led him into their council: Are you the Christ? Tell us. And he said to them: If I tell you, you won't believe. And if I ask you too, you won't answer me or let me go. From now on the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.

And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
