The Life of Jesus

So his disciples went foorth, and came to the citie, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer.

And at euen he came with the twelue.

And as they sate at table and did eate, Iesus said, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me.

Then they began to be sorowful and to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I?

And he answered and sayde vnto them, It is one of the twelue that dippeth with mee in the platter.

Truely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe bee to that man, by whome the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had beene good for that man, if hee had neuer beene borne.

And as they did eate, Iesus tooke the bread, and when hee had giuen thankes, he brake it and gaue it to them, and sayde, Take, eate, this is my bodie.

Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thankes, gaue it to them: and they all dranke of it.

And he saide vnto them, This is my blood of that newe Testament, which is shed for many.

Verely I say vnto you, I wil drinke no more of the fruit of ye vine vntill that day, that I drinke it newe in the kingdome of God.

And when they had sung a Psalme, they went out to the mount of Oliues.

Then Iesus said vnto them, Al ye shall be offended by mee this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepheard, and the sheepe shall be scattered.

But after that I am risen, I will goe into Galile before you.

And Peter saide vnto him, Although all men should be offended at thee, yet would not I.

Then Iesus saide vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, this day, euen in this night, before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie me thrise.

But he saide more earnestly. If I shoulde die with thee, I will not denie thee: likewise also saide they all.

After, they came into a place named Gethsemane: then hee saide to his disciples, Sit yee here, till I haue praied.

And hee tooke with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and hee began to be troubled, and in great heauinesse,

And saide vnto them, My soule is very heauie, euen vnto the death: tarie here, and watch.

So he went forward a litle, and fell downe on the ground, and praied, that if it were possible, that houre might passe from him.

And he saide, Abba, Father, all things are possible vnto thee: take away this cup from me: neuertheles not that I will, but that thou wilt, be done.

Then hee came, and founde them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watche one houre?

Watch ye, and pray, that ye enter not into tentation: the spirite in deede is ready, but the flesh is weake.

And againe hee went away, and praied, and spake the same wordes.

And he returned, and founde them a sleepe againe: for their eyes were heauie: neither knewe they what they should answere him.
