Mateus 26 - Bíblia Online

And when Jesus had finished all these discourses, he said to his disciples, 
Ye know that after two days is the Passoever, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 
Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled together, at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. 
And consulted, how they might apprehend Jesus by subtlety and kill him.

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came to him a woman; 
having an alabaster box of very costly ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at table.

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 
Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? 
She hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she hath done it for my burial. 
Verily I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, this also which she hath done shall be spoken for a memorial of her.

Lord, Is it I? 
And he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me. 
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed: it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 
Then Judas who betrayed him answering said, Master, Is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast said. 
And after they had eaten, Jesus took bread and blessed and brake and gave it to his disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 
And he took the cup, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.

And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith to Peter, What! Could ye not watch with me one hour? 
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing; but the flesh is weak. 
Again the second time he went away and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup cannot pass from me, unless I drink it, thy will be done. 
And he came and found them asleep again; for their eyes were weighed down. 
And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council sought false witness against Jesus, 
to put him to death, But found none; yea, tho' many false witnesses came, yet found they none. 
At last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 
And the high priest rising up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee? 
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, to tell us, if thou art the Christ, the Son of God?

And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man. 
And after a while they that stood by, came and said to Peter, Surely thou art also one of them; for thy speech discovereth thee. 
Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. 
And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before cock-crowing thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out and wept bitterly.
