and said - What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

and, as they were eating, he said - Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.

And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one - Can it be, I, Lord?

And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, - and, giving to his disciples, said - Take, eat! This, is, my body.

And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.

But, Jesus, said unto him - Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.

And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.

Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;

Then, was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, as the value of him whom they had valued, whom they had valued, of Israel's sons, -

But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.

and, plaiting a crown out of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, - and, kneeling before him, began to mock him, saying - Joy to thee, King of the Jews!

And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.

And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying.
