<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;

When<n id="1" /> he went out to the gateway, another slave girl<n id="2" /> saw him and said to the people there, &#8220;This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.&#8221;

<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,

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>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While<n id="1" /> they were going, some<n id="2" /> of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.

Then<n id="1" /> he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples,<n id="2" /> who in turn gave them to the crowds.<n id="3" />

<p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<i><b>Andb> <b>you, Bethlehem,b> in the land of Judah,i>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>are in no way least among the rulers of Judah,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israelb>.i>&#8217;&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues<n id="1" /> and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;When<n id="1" /> you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive<n id="2" /> so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth,<n id="3" /> they have their reward.
