| [1]Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. |
[1]And the halidai of therf looues, that is seid pask, neiyede. |
| [2]And the high Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people. |
[2]And the princis of preestis and the scribis souyten, hou thei schulden sle Jhesu, but thei dredden the puple. |
| [3]Then entered Satan into Judas, who was called Iscariot, and was of the number of the twelve. |
[3]And Sathanas entride in to Judas, that was clepid Scarioth, oon of the twelue. |
| [4]And he went his way, and communed with the high Priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. |
[4]And he wente, and spak with the princis of preestis, and with the magistratis, hou he schulde bitray hym to hem. |
| [5]So they were glad, and agreed to give him money. |
[5]And thei ioyeden, and maden couenaunt to yyue hym money. |
| [6]And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away. |
[6]And he bihiyte, and he souyte oportunyte, to bitraye hym, with outen puple. |
| [7]Â Then came the day of unleavened bread when the Passover must be sacrificed. |
[7]But the daies of therf looues camen, in whiche it was neede, that the sacrifice of pask were slayn. |
| [8]And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go, and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat it. |
[8]And he sente Petre and Joon, and seide, Go ye, and make ye redi to vs the pask, that we ete. |
| [9]And they said to him, Where wilt thou, that we prepare it? |
[9]And thei seiden, Where wolt thou, that we make redi? |
| [10]Then he said unto them, Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water: follow him into the house that he entereth in, |
[10]And he seide to hem, Lo! whanne ye schulen entre in to the citee, a man berynge a vessel of watir schal meete you; sue ye hym in to the hous, in to which he entrith. |
| [11]And say unto the good man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the lodging where I shall eat my Passover with my disciples? |
[11]And ye schulen seie to the hosebonde man of the hous, The maister seith to thee, Where is a chaumbre, where Y schal ete the pask with my disciplis? |
| [12]Then he shall show you a great high chamber trimmed: there make it ready. |
[12]And he schal schewe to you a greet soupyng place strewid, and there make ye redi. |
| [13]So they went and found as he had said unto them, and made ready the Passover. |
[13]And thei yeden, and founden as he seide to hem, and thei maden redi the pask. |
| [14]And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve Apostles with him. |
[14]And whanne the our was come, he sat to the mete, and the twelue apostlis with hym. |
| [15]Then he said unto them, I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. |
[15]And he seide to hem, With desier Y haue desirid to ete with you this pask, bifor that Y suffre; |
| [16]For I say unto you, Henceforth I will not eat of it any more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. |
[16]for Y seie to you, that fro this tyme Y schal not ete it, til it be fulfillid in the rewme of God. |
| [17]And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among you. |
[17]And whanne he hadde take the cuppe, he dide gracis, and seide, Take ye, and departe ye among you; |
| [18]For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God be come. |
[18]for Y seie to you, that Y schal not drynke of the kynde of this vyne, til the rewme of God come. |
| [19]And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he break it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in the remembrance of me. |
[19]And whanne he hadde take breed, he dide thankyngis, and brak, and yaf to hem, and seide, This is my bodi, that schal be youun for you; do ye this thing in mynde of me. |
| [20]Likewise also after supper he took the cup, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you. |
[20]He took also the cuppe, aftir that he hadde soupid, and seide, This cuppe is the newe testament in my blood, that schal be sched for you. |
| [21]Yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table. |
[21]Netheles lo! the hoond of hym that bitraieth me, is with me at the table. |
| [22]And truly the Son of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man, by whom he is betrayed. |
[22]And mannus sone goith, `aftir that it is determyned; netheles wo to that man, bi whom he schal be bitraied. |
| [23]Then they began to enquire among themselves which of them it should be, that should do that. |
[23]And thei bigunnen to seke among hem, who it was of hem, that was to do this thing. |
| [24]Â And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seem to be the greatest. |
[24]And strijf was maad among hem, which of hem schulde be seyn to be grettest. |
| [25]But he said unto them, The Kings of the Gentiles reign over them, and they that bear rule over them, are called Gracious lords. |
[25]But he seide to hem, Kyngis of hethen men ben lordis of hem, and thei that han power on hem ben clepid good doeris, but ye not so; |
| [26]But ye shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serveth. |
[26]but he that is grettest among you, be maad as yongere, and he that is bifor goere, as a seruaunt. |
| [27]For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serveth. |
[27]For who is gretter, he that sittith at the mete, or he that mynystrith? whether not he that sittith at the mete? And Y am in the myddil of you, as he that mynystrith. |
| [28]And ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. |
[28]And ye ben, that han dwellid with me in my temptaciouns; and Y dispose to you, |
| [29]Therefore I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me, |
[29]as my fadir hath disposid to me, |
| [30]That ye may eat, and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. |
[30]a rewme, that ye ete and drynke on my boord in my rewme, and sitte on trones, and deme the twelue kynredis of Israel. |
| [31]Â And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired you, to winnow you as wheat. |
[31]And the Lord seide to Symount, Symount, lo, Satanas hath axid you, that he schulde ridile as whete; but Y haue preyede for thee, |
| [32]But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: therefore when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. |
[32]that thi feith faile not; and thou sum tyme conuertid, conferme thi britheren. |
| [33]And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee into prison, and to death. |
[33]Which seide to hym, Lord, Y am redi to go in to prisoun and in to deeth with thee. |
| [34]But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou hast thrice denied that thou knewest me. |
[34]And he seide, Y seie to thee, Petir, the cok schal not crowe to dai, til thou thries forsake that thou knowist me. |
| [35]Â And he said unto them, When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. |
[35]And he seide to hem, Whanne Y sente you with outen sachel, and scrippe, and schone, whether ony thing failide to you? |
| [36]Then he said to them, But now he that hath a bag, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath none, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword. |
[36]And thei seiden, No thing. Therfor he seide to hem, But now he that hath a sachel, take also and a scrippe; and he that hath noon, selle his coote, and bigge a swerd. |
| [37]For I say unto you, That yet the same which is written, must be performed in me, Even with the wicked was he numbered: for doubtless those things which are written of me, have an end. |
[37]For Y seie to you, that yit it bihoueth that thing that is writun to be fulfillid in me, And he is arettid with wickid men; for tho thingis that ben of me han ende. |
| [38]And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. |
[38]And thei seiden, Lord, lo! twei swerdis here. And he seide to hem, It is ynowy. |
| [39]Â And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the Mount of Olives: and his disciples also followed him. |
[39]And he yede out, and wente aftir the custom in to the hille of Olyues; and the disciplis sueden hym. |
| [40]And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. |
[40]And whanne he cam to the place, he seide to hem, Preye ye, lest ye entren in to temptacioun. |
| [41]And he gate himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, |
[41]And he was taken awei fro hem, so myche as is a stonys cast; and he knelide, |
| [42]Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. |
[42]and preyede, and seide, Fadir, if thou wolt, do awei this cuppe fro me; netheles not my wille be don, but thin. |
| [43]And there appeared an Angel unto him from heaven, comforting him. |
[43]And an aungel apperide to hym fro heuene, and coumfortide hym. And he was maad in agonye, and preyede the lenger; |
| [44]But being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground. |
[44]and his swot was maad as dropis of blood rennynge doun in to the erthe. |
| [45]And he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heaviness. |
[45]And whanne he was rysun fro preier, and was comun to hise disciplis, he foond hem slepynge for heuynesse. |
| [46]And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, least ye enter into temptation. |
[46]And he seide to hem, What slepen ye? Rise ye, and preye ye, that ye entre not in to temptacioun. |
| [47]Â And while he yet spake, behold a company, and he that was called Judas one of the twelve, went before them, and came near unto Jesus to kiss him. |
[47]Yit while he spak, lo! a company, and he that was clepid Judas, oon of the twelue, wente bifor hem; and he cam to Jhesu, to kisse hym. |
| [48]And Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? |
[48]And Jhesus seide to hym, Judas, `with a coss `thou bytrayest `mannys sone. |
| [49]Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with sword? |
[49]And thei that weren aboute hym, and sayn that that was to come, seiden to hym, Lord, whether we smyten with swerd? |
| [50]And one of them smote a servant of the high Priest, and struck off his right ear. |
[50]And oon of hem smoot the seruaunt of the prince of preestis, and kittide of his riyt eere. |
| [51]Then Jesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus far: and he touched his ear, and healed him. |
[51]But Jhesus answerde, and seide, Suffre ye til hidir. And whanne he hadde touchid his eere, he heelide hym. |
| [52]Then Jesus said unto the high Priests, and captains of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as unto a thief with swords and staves? |
[52]And Jhesus seide to hem, that camen to hym, the princis of preestis, and maiestratis of the temple, and eldre men, As to a theef ye han gon out with swerdis and staues? |
| [53]When I was daily with you in the Temple, ye stretched not forth the hands against me: but this is your very hour, and the power of darkness. |
[53]Whanne Y was ech dai with you in the temple, ye streiyten not out hondis in to me; but this is youre our, and the power of derknessis. |
| [54]Â Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high Priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. |
[54]And thei token him, and ledden to the hous of the prince of prestis; and Petir suede hym afer. |
| [55]And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. |
[55]And whanne a fier was kyndelid in the myddil of the greet hous, and thei saten aboute, Petir was in the myddil of hem. |
| [56]And a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and having well looked on him, said, This man was also with him. |
[56]Whom whanne a damysel hadde seyn sittynge `at the liyt, and hadde biholdun hym, sche seide, And this was with hym. |
| [57]But he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. |
[57]And he denyede hym, and seide, Womman, Y knowe hym not. |
| [58]And after a little while, another man saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. |
[58]And aftir a litil another man siy hym, and seide, And thou art of hem. But Petir seide, A! man, Y am not. |
| [59]And about the space of an hour after a certain other affirmed, saying, Verily even this man was with him: for he is also a Galilean. |
[59]And whanne a space was maad as of on our, another affermyd, and seide, Treuli this was with hym; for also he is of Galilee. |
| [60]And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. |
[60]And Petir seide, Man, Y noot what thou seist. And anoon yit while he spak, the cok crewe. |
| [61]Then the Lord turned back, 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. |
[61]And the Lord turnede ayen, and bihelde Petre; and Petre hadde mynde on the word of Jhesu, as he hadde seid, For bifor that the cok crowe, thries thou schalt denye me. |
| [62]And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. |
[62]And Petre yede out, and wepte bittirli. |
| [63]Â And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and struck him. |
[63]And the men that helden hym scorneden hym, and smyten hym. |
| [64]And when they had blindfolded him, they smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is that smote thee. |
[64]And thei blynfelden hym, and smyten his face, and axiden hym, and seiden, Arede, thou Crist, to vs, who is he that smoot thee? |
| [65]And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. |
[65]Also thei blasfemynge seiden ayens hym many other thingis. |
| [66]And as soon as it was day, the Elders of the people, and the high Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their Council, |
[66]And as the day was come, the eldre men of the puple, and the princis of prestis, and the scribis camen togidir, and ledden hym in to her councel, |
| [67]Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe it. |
[67]and seiden, If thou art Crist, seie to vs. |
| [68]And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. |
[68]And he seide to hem, If Y seie to you, ye schulen not bileue to me; and if Y axe, ye schulen not answere to me, nethir ye schulen delyuere me. |
| [69]Hereafter shall the Son of man sit at the right hand of the power of God. |
[69]But aftir this tyme mannys sone schal be sittynge on the riyt half of the vertu of God. |
| [70]Then said they all, art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, ye say that I am. |
[70]Therfor alle seiden, Thanne art thou the sone of God? And he seide, Ye seien that Y am. |
| [71]Then said they, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard it of his own mouth. |
[71]And thei seiden, What yit desiren we witnessyng? for we vs silf han herd of his mouth. |
