³² Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

^{33 [1]} Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

³⁴ ¶ And ^[2] take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

³⁵ For ^[3] as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

^{36 [4]} Watch ye therefore, and ^[5] pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and ^[6] to stand before the Son of man.

^{37 [7]} And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and ^[8] at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

³⁸ And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

CHAP.XXII.

1 The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ: 3 Judas covenanteth to betray him. 7 The apostles sent to prepare the passover: Christ eateth it with them; 19 and instituteth his last supper: 21 he covertly pointeth out the traitor: 24 checketh the ambitious strife of his disciples, and promiseth them a share in his kingdom: 31 he telleth Peter of Satan's desire to sift him; but that his faith should be supported; and yet he should thrice deny him: 35 he adviseth his disciples to provide necessaries and a sword: 39 his agony and prayer in the garden: 47 he is betrayed; 50 healeth a servant of the high priest, whose ear was cut off; 54 is led to the high priest's house; Peter thrice denieth him. 63 Christ is scornfully used; 66 and brought before the council, where confessing himself to be the son of God, he is pronounced guilty of blasphemy.

NOW ^[9] the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

² And ^[10] the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³ ¶ ^[11] Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

⁴ And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

⁵ And they were glad, and ^[12] covenanted to give him money.

⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them ‖‖ Or, without tumult. in the absence of the multitude.

⁷ ¶ ^[13] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

⁹ And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ 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?

¹² And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

¹³ And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

^{14 [14]} And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, ‖‖ Or, I have heartily desired. With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, ^[15] until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ For ^[16] I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ ¶ ^[17] And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: ^[18] this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, ^[19] This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ ¶ ^[20] But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

^{22 [21]} And truly the Son of man goeth, ^[22] as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

^{23 [23]} And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

²⁴ ¶ ^[24] And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

^{25 [25]} And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

^{26 [26]} But ye shall not be so: ^[27] but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the
