The Crucifixion and Resurrection
of Jesus Christ
John, Chapters 18–21
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into
the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which
betrayed him, knew the place; for Jesus ofttimes resorted
thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a
band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus
therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went
forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed
him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them,
I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then
asked he them again, Whom seek ye?
And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he; if therefore
ye seek me, let these go their way; that the saying might
be fulfilled, which he spake, of them which thou gavest me
have I lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it,
and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right
ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto
Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath; the cup which my
Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

"And he said unto them all, If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and
follow me. For whosoever will save his life, must be willing
to lose it for my sake; and whosoever will be willing to lose
his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what doth
it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and yet he receive
him not whom God hath ordained, and he lose his own soul,
and he himself be a castaway? For whosoever shall be ashamed
of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he shall come in his own kingdom, clothed in the glory
of his Father, with the holy angels" (Luke 9:23–26).

The Last Supper and Betrayal
of Christ
Matthew, Chapter 26
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings,
he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days is
the passover, and then the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might
take Jesus by subtilty and kill him. But they said, Not on
the feast day lest there be an uproar among people.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper, there came unto him a woman having an alabaster box
of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he
sat in the house. But when some saw this, they had indignation,
saying, Unto what purpose is this waste? For this ointment
might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When
they had said thus, Jesus understood them and he said unto
them, Why trouble ye the woman? For she hath wrought a good
work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me
ye have not always. For she hath poured this ointment on my
body, for my burial. And in this thing that she hath done
she shall be blessed; for verily I unto you, Wheresoever this
shall be preached in the whole world, this thing that this
woman hath done, shall also be told for a memorial of her.
