THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER rs.

It
the feast of the passover, and the Son
of man is betrayed to be cruclfled.
3 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,
4 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
the people.
6 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 preci-
Gus ointment, and poured it on his
head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it.,
they had Indignation, saying, To what
purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have
been sold for much, and given to the
poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he
said unto them, Why trouble We the
woman? for she hath wrought a good
work upon me.
IL For We have the poor always with
you; but me We have not always.
II For in that she hath poured this
ointment on my body, she did it for
my burial.
Ii Verify say unto you, WheresO-
ever this gospel shall be preached in
the whole world, there shall also this,
that this woman hath done, be told
for memorial of her.
IA Then one Of the twelve, called
Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief
priests,
Is And said unto them, What will
We give me, and | will deliver him
unto you? And they cOvenanted with
him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
II Now the first day of the feast
Of unleayened bread the disciples
came TO Jesus. saying unto him,
Where wilt thou that We prepare for
tkee to eat the passover?
Is And he said, Go into the city to
such man, and say unto him, The
Master saith, My time is at hand; l
will keep the passover at thy house
with my disciples.
10 And the disciples did as Jesus
had appointed them; and they made
ready the passover.
&c Now when the even was come,
he sat down with the twelve.
81 And as they did eat, he said,
Verify l say unto you, that one of
you shall betray me.
% And they were exceeding sorrow
full, and began every one of them to
say unto him, Lord, is it /?
% And he answered and said, He
that dippeth his hand with me in the
dish, the same shall betray me.
"a The Son of man gOeth as it is
written of him: but woe unto that
man by whom the Son of man is be-
trayedl it had been good For that man
il he had not been born.
% Then Judas, which betrayed him,
answered and said, Master, is it |? He
said unto him, Thou hast said.
rs And as they were eating, Jesus
took bread, and blessed it, and brake
it, and gave it TO the disciples, and
said, Take, eat; this is my body.
q And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink We all of il;
IS For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for
the remission of sins.
% But | say unto you, / will not
drink hencefOrth OF this fruit of the
vine, until that day when | drink it
new with you in my Fathers kingdom.
so And when they had sung an
hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.
81 Then saith Jesus unto them, All
ye shall be offended because OF me
this night: for it is written, will
smite the shepherd, and the sheep of
the flock shall be scattered abroad.
30 But after | am risen again, |
will go before YOU into Galilee.
30 Peter answered and said unto
him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will i never be
offended.
81 Jesus said unto him, Verify l say
unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice.
35 Peter said unto him, Though |
should die with thee, yet will l not
deny thee. Likewise also said all the
disciples.
