1When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples,

13You may be sure that wherever the good news is told all over the world, people will remember what she has done. And they will tell others.
Judas and the Chief Priests(Mark 14.10,11; Luke 22.3-6)14Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples. He went to the chief priests
15 He was very sad and troubled,
38and he said to them, “I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me.”
39Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don't make me suffer by drinking from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want.”
40He came back and found his disciples sleeping. So he said to Peter, “Can't any of you stay awake with me for just one hour?
41Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”
42Again Jesus went to pray and said, “My Father, if there is no other way, and I must suffer, I will still do what you want.”
43Jesus came back and found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open.
44He left them and prayed the same prayer once more.
45Finally, Jesus returned to his disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners.
46Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here.”
Jesus Is Arrested(Mark 14.43-50; Luke 22.47-53; John 18.3-12)47Jesus was still speaking, when Judas the betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a large mob armed with swords and clubs was with him. They had been sent by the chief priests and the nation's leaders.
48Judas had told them ahead of time, “Arrest the man I greet with a kiss.”
49Judas walked right up to Jesus and said, “Hello, teacher.” Then Judas kissed him.
50Jesus replied, “My friend, do what you came for.”
The men grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
51One of Jesus' followers pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
52But Jesus told him, “Put your sword away. Anyone who lives by fighting will die by fighting.
53Don't you know that I could ask my Father, and he would at once send me more than twelve armies of angels?
54But then, how could the words of the Scriptures come true, which say this must happen?”

60But they could not find any, even though many did come and tell lies. At last, two men came forward

of God All-Powerful
and coming on the clouds
of heaven.’ ”
65 Lv 24.15,16. The high priest then tore his robe and said, “This man claims to be God! We don't need any more witnesses! You have heard what he said.
66What do you think?”
They answered, “He is guilty and deserves to die!”
67Is 50.6. Then they spit in his face and hit him with their fists. Others slapped him
68and said, “You think you are the Messiah! So tell us who hit you!”
Peter Says He Doesn't Know Jesus(Mark 14.66-72; Luke 22.56-62; John 18.15-18,25-27)69While Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, a servant girl came up to him and said, “You were with Jesus from Galilee.”
70But in front of everyone Peter said, “That isn't so! I don't know what you are talking about!”
71When Peter had gone out to the gate, another servant girl saw him and said to some people there, “This man was with Jesus from Nazareth.”
72Again Peter denied it, and this time he swore, “I don't even know that man!”
73A little while later some people standing there walked over to Peter and said, “We know you are one of them. We can tell it because you talk like someone from Galilee.”
74Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't know that man!”
Right then a rooster crowed,
75and Peter remembered that Jesus had said, “Before a rooster crows, you will say three times you don't know me.” Then Peter went out and cried bitterly.
