"[To prepare for the Passover meal,] Jesus sent two of [his disciples] into Jerusalem with these instructions: "As you go into the city, a man carrying..."

"But Peter denied [being with Jesus] again. A little later some of the other bystanders confronted Peter and said, "You must be one of them,..."

"Finally, some men stood up and gave this false testimony [against Jesus]: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made with human hands, and in..."

"And [Jesus] said to [the Twelve], "This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many...."

"The traitor, Judas, had given [the armed men] a prearranged signal: "You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss. Then you can take..."

"Then the high priest stood up before the others and asked Jesus, "Well, aren't you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for..."

"Dear Friend, Can you remember your Christmas gifts from last year? ... five years ago? ... ten years ago? You probably don't remember most of your..."

"Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, Peter — this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me." ...."

"When [Jesus] returned to [the disciples] the third time, he said, "Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But no — the time has come. The Son of Man is....."

"[Jesus and the disciples] went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, "Sit here while I go and pray." He took Peter, James, and John..."

"One young man following behind [when Jesus was arrested] was clothed only in a long linen shirt. When the mob tried to grab him, he slipped out of his..."

"Then [Jesus] returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour? Keep watch....."

"Inside [the high priest's home], the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find evidence against Jesus, so they could put him to...."

"Then the high priest stood up before the others and asked Jesus, "Well, aren't you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for..."

"When the servant girl saw [Peter] standing [outside while Jesus was being abused by the guards], she began telling the others, "This man is definitely..."

"In the evening Jesus arrived with the Twelve. As they were at the table eating [the Passover meal], Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you..."

"[After people said the money for the expensive perfume the woman poured on Jesus' head should have gone to the poor, he said,] "You will always have....."

"It was now two days before Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law were still looking for..."

"Some of those at the table were indignant [that the woman poured the perfume over Jesus' head]. "Why waste such expensive perfume?" they asked. "It..."

"And [Jesus] took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to [the Twelve], and they all drank from it. And he said to them, "This is my..."

"Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests to arrange to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted when they heard...."

"[When Jesus said, "I Am,"] the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, "Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his..."

"[The soldiers and Temple guards who arrested Jesus, took him] to the high priest's home where the leading priests, the elders, and the teachers of..."

"[When the guards took Jesus away], Peter was in the courtyard below. One of the servant girls who worked for the high priest came by and noticed Peter..."

"[After the high council said that Jesus deserved to die,] some of them began to spit at him, and they blindfolded him and beat him with their fists......"

"On the way, Jesus told [the Twelve], "All of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, 'God will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be..."

"Jesus asked [the armed crowd], "Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?""

"Greatly distressed [when Jesus said one of the Twelve would betray him], each one asked in turn, "Am I the one?""

"On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go to..."

"Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While [Jesus] was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful..."

"Then [Jesus] returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour?""

"[Jesus said,] "But after I am raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.""

"[Jesus] went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by."

"And immediately, even as Jesus said [to Peter, James, and John that his betrayer had arrived], Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a..."

"[When Jesus was arrested,] all his disciples deserted him and ran away."

"As [Jesus and the Twelve] were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take..."

"But Peter denied [having been with Jesus]. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, and he went out into the entryway. Just then, a rooster...."

"Peter said to [Jesus], "Even if everyone else deserts you, I never will.""

"[Jesus] replied, "[The one who will betray me] is one of you twelve who is eating from this bowl with me.""

"Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, Peter — this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.""

"Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

"[After Judas betrayed Jesus to the mob,] one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's slave, slashing off his ear."

"[After Jesus found Peter, James, and John sleeping rather than praying, he] left them again and prayed the same prayer as before."

"It has been thought by some that as long as Peter lived, the fountain of his tears began to flow whenever he remembered his denying his Lord. It is..."

"Jerusalem at the time of the passover was one great inn; each householder had invited his own friends, but no one had invited the Saviour, and he had...."

"[Jesus] told [Peter, James, and John], "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.""

"[Jesus continued,] "For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It..."

"It was now two days before Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law were still looking for..."

"When [Jesus] returned to [the disciples] again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn't keep their eyes open. And they didn't know what to say."

"[After the woman had poured expensive perfume on Jesus' head, he said,] "I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the..."

"[To the armed mob that came to arrest him, Jesus said,] "Why didn't you arrest me in the Temple? I was there among you teaching every day. But these....."

"But Jesus replied, "Leave [the woman who poured perfume on my head] alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me?""

""Abba, Father," [Jesus] cried out, "everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done,....."
