&#8220;You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be handed over<n id="1" /> to be crucified.&#8221;<n id="2" />

When<n id="1" /> Jesus learned of this, he said to them, &#8220;Why are you bothering this woman? She<n id="2" /> has done a good service for me.

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.&#8221;p>

Then<n id="1" /> Judas, the one who would betray him, said, &#8220;Surely not I, Rabbi?&#8221; Jesus<n id="2" /> replied, &#8220;You have said it yourself.&#8221;p>

Jesus said to him, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.&#8221;

Peter said to him, &#8220;Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.&#8221; And all the disciples said the same thing.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, &#8220;Sit here while I go over there and pray.&#8221;

(Now the betrayer<n id="1" /> had given them a sign, saying, &#8220;The one I kiss is the man.<n id="2" /> Arrest him!&#8221;)<n id="3" />

Then Jesus said to him, &#8220;Put your sword back in its place!<n id="1" /> For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.

But Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest&#8217;s courtyard. After<n id="1" /> going in, he sat with the guards<n id="2" /> to see the outcome.

Then the high priest tore his clothes and declared,<n id="1" /> &#8220;He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Now<n id="2" /> you have heard the blasphemy!

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A<n id="1" /> slave girl<n id="2" /> came to him and said, &#8220;You also were with Jesus the Galilean.&#8221;

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: &#8220;Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.&#8221; And he went outside and wept bitterly.<n id="1" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when<n id="1" /> Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus<n id="2" /> had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders,

So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, &#8220;Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus<n id="1" /> Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?&#8221;<n id="2" />

The<n id="1" /> governor asked them, &#8220;Which of the two do you want me to release for you?&#8221; And they said, &#8220;Barabbas!&#8221;

Above<n id="1" /> his head they put the charge against him,<n id="2" /> which read:<n id="3" /> &#8220;This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.&#8221;

and placed it<n id="1" /> in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock.<n id="2" /> Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance<n id="3" /> of the tomb and went away.

But the angel said<n id="1" /> to the women, &#8220;Do not be afraid; I know<n id="2" /> that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.<n id="3" />

Then Jesus said to them, &#8220;Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.&#8221;p>
