28And learn the parable from the fig-tree. When its branch is already become tender, and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. 29So also ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is near, at the doors. 30Verily I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things are done. 31Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away.
32But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. 33Take heed, watch; for ye know not when the time is. 34As a man who is abroad, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, also commanded the porter that he should watch; 35watch therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning; 36lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.
XIV. Two days after, was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2For they said: Not at the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.
3And he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of pure spikenard, very precious; and she broke the box, and poured it on his head. 4And there were some that were much displeased among themselves, and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denáries, and given to the poor. And they murmured at her. 6And Jesus said: Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? She wrought a good work on me. 7For the poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always. 8She did what she could; she beforehand anointed my body for the preparation for burial. 9Verily I say to you, wherever the good news shall be preached in the whole world, this also that she did shall be told for a memorial of her.
10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to deliver him up to them. 11And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him up.
12And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples say to him: Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover? 13And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says to them: Go into the city, and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him. 14And where he shall go in, say to the master of the house: The Teacher says, Where is the guest-chamber, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples? 15And he will show you a large upper room furnished, ready; there prepare for us. 16And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he said to them; and they made ready the passover.
17And at evening he comes with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table, and eating, Jesus said: Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me, one that eats with me! 19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I? And another said: Is it I? 20And he answering said to them: It is one of the twelve, one that dips with me into the dish. 21The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born.
22And as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf, blessed, and broke, and gave it to them, and said: Take it; this is my body. 23And taking the cup, he gave thanks, and gave it to them; and they all drank of it. 24And he said to them: This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many. 25Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives. 27And Jesus says to them: All ye will be offended; because it is written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29And Peter said to him: Though all shall be offended, yet will not I. 30And Jesus says to him: Verily I say to thee, that thou this day, in this night, before a cock crows twice, wilt thrice deny me. 31But he said the more vehemently: If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also said they all.
