But when the disciples saw it they were indignant and angry, saying, "Why all this waste [of money]?

But Jesus, aware [of the malice] of this [remark], said to them, "Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a good thing to Me.

"For you always have the poor with you; but you will not always have Me.

"The Son of Man is to go [to the cross], just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe (judgment is coming) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

"But after I am raised [to life], I will go ahead of you [leading the way] to Galilee."

And after going a little farther, He fell face down and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible [that is, consistent with Your will], let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

"Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

"But all this has taken place so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

But Peter followed Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the [elegant home of the Jewish] high priest, and went inside, and sat with the guards to see the outcome.

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I call on You to swear a binding oath by the living God, that you tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."

Jesus said to him, "You have [in fact] said it; but more than that I tell you [regardless of what you do with Me now], in the future you will see [Me revealed as] THE SON OF MAN SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."

But when the charges were brought against Him by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

But Jesus did not reply to him, not even to a single accusation, so that the governor was greatly astonished.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

And he said, "Why, what has He done that is evil?" But they continued shouting all the louder, "Let Him be crucified!"

So when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather that a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands [to ceremonially cleanse himself of guilt] in the presence of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this [righteous] Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

So he set Barabbas free for them; but after having Jesus severely whipped (scourged), he handed Him over to be crucified.

they offered Him wine mixed with gall (myrrh, a bitter-tasting narcotic) to drink; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.
