The Life of Jesus

And the Lord saide, Simon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desired you, to winowe you as wheate.

But I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not: therefore when thou art conuerted, strengthen thy brethren.

And he said vnto him, Lord, I am ready to goe with thee into prison, and to death.

But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cocke shall not crowe this day, before thou hast thrise denied that thou knewest me.

And he saide vnto them, When I sent you without bagge, and scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

Then he said to them, But nowe he that hath a bagge, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and hee that hath none, let him sell his coate, and buy a sworde.

For I say vnto you, That yet the same which is written, must be perfourmed in me, Euen with the wicked was he nombred: for doubtlesse those things which are written of me, haue an ende.

And they said, Lord, beholde, here are two swordes. And he said vnto them, It is ynough.

And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the mount of Oliues: and his disciples also followed him.

And when hee came to the place, hee said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into tentation.

And he was drawen aside from them about a stones cast, and kneeled downe, and prayed,

Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cuppe from mee: neuerthelesse, not my will, but thine be done.

And there appeared an Angell vnto him from heauen, comforting him.

But being in an agonie, hee prayed more earnestly: and his sweate was like drops of blood, trickling downe to the ground.

And he rose vp from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heauinesse.

And he said vnto them, Why sleepe ye? rise and pray, least ye enter into tentation.

And while he yet spake, beholde, a companie, and he that was called Iudas one of the twelue, went before them, and came neere vnto Iesus to kisse him.

And Iesus saide vnto him, Iudas, betrayest thou the Sonne of man with a kisse?

Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said vnto him, Lord, shall we smite with sworde?

And one of them smote a seruant of the hie Priest, and strooke off his right eare.

Then Iesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus farre: and he touched his eare, and healed him.

Then Iesus said vnto the hie Priests, and captaines of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Bee ye come out as vnto a theefe with swordes and staues?

When I was dayly with you in the Temple, yee stretched not foorth the handes against mee: but this is your very houre, and the power of darkenesse.

Then tooke they him, and led him, and brought him to the hie Priestes house. And Peter followed afarre off.

And when they had kindled a fire in the middes of the hall, and were set downe together, Peter also sate downe among them.
