Notes that are not verse specific
a) Joseph resisted the temptation when his boss's wife made advances to him. He wouldn't commit adultery, neither would he "be with her". There would be no harm in stopping for a few minutes' chat every so often, but Joseph wouldn't do this, either. He knew that this would encourage her, and would make his life harder in the future, so he refused her completely. Joseph is an excellent example of "Lead us not into temptation".
b) The baker made bread, and the butler served wine. Here’s a wonderful instance of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection in the Old Testament. How many more instances of bread and wine can you find in the old Testament?

Reading these chapters and trying to imagine what life was like for Joseph is heart-rending - and yet all this took place that God's purpose might be fulfilled, not just for Joseph, but for all His people of all times. When God brings about these devastating changes in our lives, let us look up and thank Him for shaping us - for loving us - for caring enough to make us comply with His ways, that we might be saved by His loving chastening hand. Heb 12:11

Special dreams for ordinary people
Chapter 40 teaches us that prophetic dreams are not just confined to a special few, but that anyone can experience them if God so pleases. In Job 33:15-16 Elihu says that dreams are a method God uses to instruct us.

1. And Joseph <3130> was brought down <3381>(8717) to Egypt <4714>; and Potiphar <6318>, an officer <5631> of Pharaoh <6547>, captain <8269> of the guard <2876>, an Egyptian <376> <4713>, bought <7069>(8799) him of the hands <3027> of the Ishmeelites <3459>, which had brought him down <3381>(8689) thither.
2. And the LORD <3068> was with Joseph <3130>, and he was a prosperous <6743>(8688) man <376>; and he was in the house <1004> of his master <113> the Egyptian <4713>.
3. And his master <113> saw <7200>(8799) that the LORD <3068> was with him, and that the LORD <3068> made all that he did <6213>(8802) to prosper <6743>(8688) in his hand <3027>.
4. And Joseph <3130> found <4672>(8799) grace <2580> in his sight <5869>, and he served <8334>(8762) him: and he made him overseer <6485>(8686) over his house <1004>, and all that he had <3426> he put <5414>(8804) into his hand <3027>.
5. And it came to pass from the time <227> that he had made him overseer <6485>(8689) in his house <1004>, and over all that he had <3426>, that the LORD <3068> blessed <1288>(8762) the Egyptian's <4713> house <1004> for Joseph's <3130> sake <1558>; and the blessing <1293> of the LORD <3068> was upon all that he had <3426> in the house <1004>, and in the field <7704>.
6. And he left <5800>(8799) all that he had in Joseph's <3130> hand <3027>; and he knew <3045>(8804) not ought <3972> he had, save <518> the bread <3899> which he did eat <398>(8802). And Joseph <3130> was a goodly <8389> person, and well <3303> favoured <4758>.
7. And it came to pass after <310> these things <1697>, that his master's <113> wife <802> cast <5375>(8799) her eyes <5869> upon Joseph <3130>; and she said <559>(8799), Lie <7901>(8798) with me.
8. But he refused <3985>(8762), and said <559>(8799) unto his master's <113> wife <802>, Behold, my master <113> wotteth <3045>(8804) not what is with me in the house <1004>, and he hath committed <5414>(8804) all that he hath <3426> to my hand <3027>;
9. There is none greater <1419> in this house <1004> than I; neither <3808> hath he kept back <2820>(8804) any thing <3972> from me but thee, because <834> thou <859> art his wife <802>: how then can I do <6213>(8799) this great <1419> wickedness <7451>, and sin <2398>(8804) against God <430>?
10. And it came to pass, as she spake <1696>(8763) to Joseph <3130> day <3117> by day <3117>, that he hearkened <8085>(8804) not unto her, to lie <7901>(8800) by her <681>, or to be with her.
11. And it came to pass about this time <3117>, that Joseph went <935>(8799) into the house <1004> to do <6213>(8800) his business <4399>; and there was none of the men <376> <582> of the house <1004> there within.
12. And she caught <8610>(8799) him by his garment <899>, saying <559>(8800), Lie <7901>(8798) with me: and he left <5800>(8799) his garment <899> in her hand <3027>, and fled <5127>(8799), and got <3318>(8799) him out <2351>.
13. And it came to pass, when she saw <7200>(8800) that he had left <5800>(8804) his garment <899> in her hand <3027>, and was fled <5127>(8799) forth <2351>,
14. That she called <7121>(8799) unto the men <582> of her house <1004>, and spake <559>(8799) unto them, saying <559>(8800), See <7200>(8798), he hath brought in <935>(8689) an Hebrew <376> <5680> unto us to mock <6711>(8763) us; he came in <935>(8804) unto me to lie <7901>(8800) with me, and I cried <7121>(8799) with a loud <1419> voice <6963>:
15. And it came to pass, when he heard <8085>(8800) that I lifted up <7311>(8689) my voice <6963> and cried <7121>(8799), that he left <5800>(8799) his garment <899> with me <681>, and fled <5127>(8799), and got him <3318>(8799) out <2351>.
16. And she laid up <3240>(8686) his garment <899> by her <681>, until his lord <113> came <935>(8800) home <1004>.
17. And she spake <1696>(8762) unto him according to these words <1697>, saying <559>(8800), The Hebrew <5680> servant <5650>, which thou hast brought <935>(8689) unto us, came in <935>(8804) unto me to mock <6711>(8763) me:
18. And it came to pass, as I lifted up <7311>(8687) my voice <6963> and cried <7121>(8799), that he left <5800>(8799) his garment <899> with me <681>, and fled <5127>(8799) out <2351>.
19. And it came to pass, when his master <113> heard <8085>(8800) the words <1697> of his wife <802>, which she spake <1696>(8765) unto him, saying <559>(8800), After this manner <1697> did <6213>(8804) thy servant <5650> to me; that his wrath <639> was kindled <2734>(8799).
20. And Joseph's <3130> master <113> took <3947>(8799) him, and put him <5414>(8799) into the prison <1004> <5470>, a place <4725> where the king's <4428> prisoners <615> were bound <631>(8803): and he was there in the prison <1004> <5470>.
21. But the LORD <3068> was with Joseph <3130>, and shewed <5186>(8799) him mercy <2617>, and gave <5414>(8799) him favour <2580> in the sight <5869> of the keeper <8269> of the prison <1004> <5470>.
22. And the keeper <8269> of the prison <1004> <5470> committed <5414>(8799) to Joseph's <3130> hand <3027> all the prisoners <615> that were in the prison <1004> <5470>; and whatsoever they did <6213>(8802) there, he was the doer <6213>(8802) of it.
23. The keeper <8269> of the prison <1004> <5470> looked <7200>(8802) not to any thing <3972> that was under his hand <3027>; because the LORD <3068> was with him, and that which he did <6213>(8802), the LORD <3068> made it to prosper <6743>(8688).
1. And it came to pass after <310> these things <1697>, that the butler <8248>(8688) of the king <4428> of Egypt <4714> and his baker <644>(8802) had offended <2398>(8804) their lord <113> the king <4428> of Egypt <4714>.
2. And Pharaoh <6547> was wroth <7107>(8799) against <5921> two <8147> of his officers <5631>, against the chief <8269> of the butlers <8248>(8688), and against the chief <8269> of the bakers <644>(8802).
3. And he put <5414>(8799) them in ward <4929> in the house <1004> of the captain <8269> of the guard <2876>, into the prison <1004> <5470>, the place <4725> where Joseph <3130> was bound <631>(8803).
4. And the captain <8269> of the guard <2876> charged <6485>(8799) Joseph <3130> with them, and he served <8334>(8762) them: and they continued a season <3117> in ward <4929>.
5. And they dreamed <2492>(8799) a dream <2472> both of them <8147>, each man <376> his dream <2472> in one <259> night <3915>, each man <376> according to the interpretation <6623> of his dream <2472>, the butler <8248>(8688) and the baker <644>(8802) of the king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, which were bound <631>(8803) in the prison <1004> <5470>.
6. And Joseph <3130> came in <935>(8799) unto them in the morning <1242>, and looked <7200>(8799) upon them, and, behold, they were sad <2196>(8802).
7. And he asked <7592>(8799) Pharaoh's <6547> officers <5631> that were with him in the ward <4929> of his lord's <113> house <1004>, saying <559>(8800), Wherefore look <6440> ye so sadly <7451> to day <3117>?
8. And they said <559>(8799) unto him, We have dreamed <2492>(8804) a dream <2472>, and there is no interpreter <6622>(8802) of it. And Joseph <3130> said <559>(8799) unto them, Do not interpretations <6623> belong to God <430>? tell me <5608>(8761) them, I pray you.
9. And the chief <8269> butler <8248>(8688) told <5608>(8762) his dream <2472> to Joseph <3130>, and said <559>(8799) to him, In my dream <2472>, behold, a vine <1612> was before me <6440>;
10. And in the vine <1612> were three <7969> branches <8299>: and it was as though it budded <6524>(8802), and her blossoms <5322> shot forth <5927>(8804); and the clusters <811> thereof brought forth ripe <1310>(8689) grapes <6025>:
11. And Pharaoh's <6547> cup <3563> was in my hand <3027>: and I took <3947>(8799) the grapes <6025>, and pressed <7818>(8799) them into Pharaoh's <6547> cup <3563>, and I gave <5414>(8799) the cup <3563> into Pharaoh's <6547> hand <3709>.
12. And Joseph <3130> said <559>(8799) unto him, This is the interpretation <6623> of it: The three <7969> branches <8299> are three <7969> days <3117>:
13. Yet <5750> within three <7969> days <3117> shall Pharaoh <6547> lift up <5375>(8799) thine head <7218>, and restore <7725>(8689) thee unto thy place <3653>: and thou shalt deliver <5414>(8804) Pharaoh's <6547> cup <3563> into his hand <3027>, after the former <7223> manner <4941> when thou wast his butler <8248>(8688).
14. But think <2142>(8804) on me when it shall be well <3190>(8799) with thee, and shew <6213>(8804) kindness <2617>, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention <2142>(8689) of me unto Pharaoh <6547>, and bring me <3318>(8689) out of this house <1004>:
15. For indeed I was stolen away <1589>(8795) out of the land <776> of the Hebrews <5680>: and here also have I done <6213>(8804) nothing <3972> that they should put <7760>(8804) me into the dungeon <953>.
16. When the chief <8269> baker <644>(8802) saw <7200>(8799) that the interpretation <6622>(8804) was good <2896>, he said <559>(8799) unto Joseph <3130>, I also <637> was in my dream <2472>, and, behold, I had three <7969> white <2751> baskets <5536> on my head <7218>:
17. And in the uppermost <5945> basket <5536> there was of all manner <3978> of bakemeats <4639> <644>(8802) for Pharaoh <6547>; and the birds <5775> did eat <398>(8802) them out of the basket <5536> upon <5921> my head <7218>.
18. And Joseph <3130> answered <6030>(8799) and said <559>(8799), This is the interpretation <6623> thereof: The three <7969> baskets <5536> are three <7969> days <3117>:
19. Yet within three <7969> days <3117> shall Pharaoh <6547> lift up <5375>(8799) thy head <7218> from off thee, and shall hang <8518>(8804) thee on a tree <6086>; and the birds <5775> shall eat <398>(8804) thy flesh <1320> from off thee.
20. And it came to pass the third <7992> day <3117>, which was Pharaoh's <6547> birthday <3117> <3205>(8715), that he made <6213>(8799) a feast <4960> unto all his servants <5650>: and he lifted up <5375>(8799) the head <7218> of the chief <8269> butler <8248>(8688) and of the chief <8269> baker <644>(8802) among <8432> his servants <5650>.
21. And he restored <7725> <0> the chief <8269> butler <8248>(8688) unto his butlership <4945> again <7725>(8686); and he gave <5414>(8799) the cup <3563> into Pharaoh's <6547> hand <3709>:
22. But he hanged <8518>(8804) the chief <8269> baker <644>(8802): as Joseph <3130> had interpreted <6622>(8804) to them.
23. Yet did not the chief <8269> butler <8248>(8688) remember <2142>(8804) Joseph <3130>, but forgat <7911>(8799) him.
Notes that are not verse specific
It is interesting as we read through this Psalm to see the change of direction. Maybe this should be recorded as two Psalms. In the opening verses we have a joyful celebration showing the things that God has done for His people. In verse 9 everything changes "Thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame", This lament continues until the final verse, where we have an appeal to God to take them back "Redeem us for thy mercies sake"

1. To the chief Musician <5329>(8764) for the sons <1121> of Korah <7141>, Maschil <4905>(8688). We have heard <8085>(8804) with our ears <241>, O God <430>, our fathers <1> have told <5608>(8765) us, what work <6467> thou didst <6466>(8804) in their days <3117>, in the times <3117> of old <6924>.
2. How thou didst drive out <3423>(8689) the heathen <1471> with thy hand <3027>, and plantedst <5193>(8799) them; how thou didst afflict <7489>(8686) the people <3816>, and cast them out <7971>(8762).
3. For they got <3423> <0> not the land <776> in possession <3423>(8804) by their own sword <2719>, neither did their own arm <2220> save <3467>(8689) them: but thy right hand <3225>, and thine arm <2220>, and the light <216> of thy countenance <6440>, because thou hadst a favour <7521>(8804) unto them.
4. Thou art my King <4428>, O God <430>: command <6680>(8761) deliverances <3444> for Jacob <3290>.
5. Through thee will we push down <5055>(8762) our enemies <6862>: through thy name <8034> will we tread them under <947>(8799) that rise up <6965>(8801) against us.
6. For I will not trust <982>(8799) in my bow <7198>, neither shall my sword <2719> save <3467>(8686) me.
7. But thou hast saved <3467>(8689) us from our enemies <6862>, and hast put them to shame <954>(8689) that hated <8130>(8764) us.
8. In God <430> we boast <1984>(8765) all the day <3117> long, and praise <3034>(8686) thy name <8034> for ever <5769>. Selah <5542>.
9. But <637> thou hast cast off <2186>(8804), and put us to shame <3637>(8686); and goest not forth <3318>(8799) with our armies <6635>.
10. Thou makest us to turn <7725>(8686) back <268> from the enemy <6862>: and they which hate <8130>(8764) us spoil <8154>(8804) for themselves.
11. Thou hast given <5414>(8799) us like sheep <6629> appointed for meat <3978>; and hast scattered <2219>(8765) us among the heathen <1471>.
12. Thou sellest <4376>(8799) thy people <5971> for nought <1952>, and dost not increase <7235>(8765) thy wealth by their price <4242>.
13. Thou makest <7760>(8799) us a reproach <2781> to our neighbours <7934>, a scorn <3933> and a derision <7047> to them that are round about <5439> us.
14. Thou makest <7760>(8799) us a byword <4912> among the heathen <1471>, a shaking <4493> of the head <7218> among the people <3816>.
15. My confusion <3639> is continually <3117> before me, and the shame <1322> of my face <6440> hath covered <3680>(8765) me,
16. For the voice <6963> of him that reproacheth <2778>(8764) and blasphemeth <1442>(8764); by reason <6440> of the enemy <341>(8802) and avenger <5358>(8693).
17. All this is come <935>(8804) upon us; yet have we not forgotten <7911>(8804) thee, neither have we dealt falsely <8266>(8765) in thy covenant <1285>.
18. Our heart <3820> is not turned <5472>(8738) back <268>, neither have our steps <838> declined <5186>(8799) from thy way <734>;
19. Though thou hast sore broken <1794>(8765) us in the place <4725> of dragons <8577>, and covered <3680>(8762) us with the shadow of death <6757>.
20. If we have forgotten <7911>(8804) the name <8034> of our God <430>, or stretched out <6566>(8799) our hands <3709> to a strange <2114>(8801) god <410>;
21. Shall not God <430> search this out <2713>(8799)? for he knoweth <3045>(8802) the secrets <8587> of the heart <3820>.
22. Yea, for thy sake are we killed <2026>(8795) all the day <3117> long; we are counted <2803>(8738) as sheep <6629> for the slaughter <2878>.
23. Awake <5782>(8798), why sleepest <3462>(8799) thou, O Lord <136>? arise <6974>(8685), cast us not off <2186>(8799) for ever <5331>.
24. Wherefore hidest <5641>(8686) thou thy face <6440>, and forgettest <7911>(8799) our affliction <6040> and our oppression <3906>?
25. For our soul <5315> is bowed down <7743>(8804) to the dust <6083>: our belly <990> cleaveth <1692>(8804) unto the earth <776>.
26. Arise <6965>(8798) for our help <5833>, and redeem <6299>(8798) us for thy mercies <2617>' sake.
Notes that are not verse specific
After Jesus instituted the Last Supper with his 12 disciples, Judas departed to carry out his evil plan. Jesus tells the 11 disciples that they will all fall away, because of him; he tells them that: "he (God) will strike the shepherd (Jesus), and the sheep (disciples) of the flock will be scattered" RSV Bible. This is familiar language to us English readers. Suppose we read the same verse in a French language Bible: This language has genders, and when we read 'sheep' the word is 'brebis' and it means feminine sheep (ewes). Jesus is talking to men, so why do the French translators use the female gender? these French translators use the same source as the RSV translators; so we need to search a bit further for more evidence for the answer. John 1:29 and 36: John saw Jesus approaching him and he said to disciples standing nearby: "Behold the lamb of God", the French version Bible says 'agneau' , agneau is the masculine word for sheep. Now there are 2 words for sheep. Readers you will see the difference between the 2 words: there can be only one person, Jesus who is "the lamb of God" . all other believers who accept this fact as a true statement, must be classed as sheep (feminine gender). Another title used of Jesus is: "the Bridegroom", and the true followers of Jesus are called "the Bride of Christ". There are numerous references in the Bible to 'the sheep', each time in the French "Segond Version of the Bible", it uses 'brebis' as the word for sheep; likewise, when it has reference to the 'lamb of God' it uses the word 'agneau' .

ANOINTED
As Jesus sat at the table in the hose of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with a very expensive jar of perfume, which she poured on his head. Jesus described this action by saying, "She has done a beautiful thing to me." None of his disciples had done anything like that for him - in fact, they complained about the waste of money in that it could have been given to the poor. But Jesus meant more to her than all the poor in the world and so she expressed her love in the best way she could and anointed him in preparation of his burial.
Jesus reply to his disciples did not excuse them (or us) from looking after the poor, but what he said put our priorities into perspective. Jesus must come first in our lives above all else. He must be the centre of our affection as he was to the woman with the ointment. And even though Jesus is in heaven and not physically with us, we can still anoint him ourselves. We anoint him by pouring out our love on him, by praying to him, by serving him the best we can, by praising him and by bringing others to him. Take a moment to feel her passion as she anointed her Lord. Now we must anoint him ourselves with all the love we can. May we too, do beautiful things for him.

1. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), when <3753> Jesus <2424> had finished <5055>(5656) all <3956> these <5128> sayings <3056>, he said <2036>(5627) unto his <848> disciples <3101>,
2. Ye know <1492>(5758) that <3754> after <3326> two <1417> days <2250> is <1096>(5736) the feast of the passover <3957>, and <2532> the Son <5207> of man <444> is betrayed <3860>(5743) to <1519> be crucified <4717>(5683).
3. Then <5119> assembled together <4863>(5681) the chief priests <749>, and <2532> the scribes <1122>, and <2532> the elders <4245> of the people <2992>, unto <1519> the palace <833> of the high priest <749>, who <3588> was called <3004>(5746) Caiaphas <2533>,
4. And <2532> consulted <4823>(5668) that <2443> they might take <2902>(5661) Jesus <2424> by subtilty <1388>, and <2532> kill <615>(5725) him.
5. But <1161> they said <3004>(5707), Not <3361> on <1722> the feast <1859> day, lest <3363> there be <1096>(5638) an uproar <2351> among <1722> the people <2992>.
6. Now <1161> when Jesus <2424> was <1096>(5637) in <1722> Bethany <963>, in <1722> the house <3614> of Simon <4613> the leper <3015>,
7. There came <4334>(5627) unto him <846> a woman <1135> having <2192>(5723) an alabaster box <211> of very precious <927> ointment <3464>, and <2532> poured it <2708>(5656) on <1909> his <846> head <2776>, as he sat <345>(5740) at meat.
8. But <1161> when his <846> disciples <3101> saw <1492>(5631) it, they had indignation <23>(5656), saying <3004>(5723), To <1519> what purpose <5101> is this <3778> waste <684>?
9. For <1063> this <5124> ointment <3464> might <1410>(5711) have been sold <4097>(5683) for much <4183>, and <2532> given <1325>(5683) to the poor <4434>.
10. When <1161> Jesus <2424> understood <1097>(5631) it, he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> trouble ye <2873> <3930>(5719) the woman <1135>? for <1063> she hath wrought <2038>(5662) a good <2570> work <2041> upon <1519> me <1691>.
11. For <1063> ye have <2192>(5719) the poor <4434> always <3842> with <3326> you <1438>; but <1161> me <1691> ye have <2192>(5719) not <3756> always <3842>.
12. For in that <1063> she <3778> hath poured <906>(5631) this <5124> ointment <3464> on <1909> my <3450> body <4983>, she did <4160>(5656) it for <4314> my <3165> burial <1779>(5658).
13. Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, Wheresoever <3699> <1437> this <5124> gospel <2098> shall be preached <2784>(5686) in <1722> the whole <3650> world <2889>, there shall also <2532> this, that this woman <3778> hath done <4160>(5656), be told <2980>(5701) for <1519> a memorial <3422> of her <846>.
14. Then <5119> one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, called <3004>(5746) Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, went <4198>(5679) unto <4314> the chief priests <749>,
15. And said <2036>(5627) unto them, What <5101> will ye <2309>(5719) give <1325>(5629) me <3427>, and <2504> I will deliver <3860>(5692) him <846> unto you <5213>? And <1161> they covenanted <2476>(5627) with him <846> for thirty <5144> pieces of silver <694>.
16. And <2532> from <575> that time <5119> he sought <2212>(5707) opportunity <2120> to <2443> betray <3860>(5632) him <846>.
17. Now <1161> the first <4413> day of the feast of unleavened bread <106> the disciples <3101> came <4334>(5656) to Jesus <2424>, saying <3004>(5723) unto him <846>, Where <4226> wilt thou <2309>(5719) that we prepare <2090>(5661) for thee <4671> to eat <5315>(5629) the passover <3957>?
18. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627), Go <5217>(5720) into <1519> the city <4172> to <4314> such a man <1170>, and <2532> say <2036>(5628) unto him <846>, The Master <1320> saith <3004>(5719), My <3450> time <2540> is <2076>(5748) at hand <1451>; I will keep <4160>(5719) the passover <3957> at <4314> thy house <4571> with <3326> my <3450> disciples <3101>.
19. And <2532> the disciples <3101> did <4160>(5656) as <5613> Jesus <2424> had appointed <4929>(5656) them <846>; and <2532> they made ready <2090>(5656) the passover <3957>.
20. Now <1161> when the even <3798> was come <1096>(5637), he sat down <345>(5711) with <3326> the twelve <1427>.
21. And <2532> as they did eat <2068>(5723), he said <2036>(5627), Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, that <3754> one <1520> of <1537> you <5216> shall betray <3860>(5692) me <3165>.
22. And <2532> they were exceeding <4970> sorrowful <3076>(5746), and began <756>(5662) every one <1538> of them <846> to say <3004>(5721) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, is <1510>(5748) it <3385> I <1473>?
23. And <1161> he answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627), He that dippeth <1686>(5660) his hand <5495> with <3326> me <1700> in <1722> the dish <5165>, the same <3778> shall betray <3860>(5692) me <3165>.
24. <3303> The Son <5207> of man <444> goeth <5217>(5719) as <2531> it is written <1125>(5769) of <4012> him <846>: but <1161> woe <3759> unto that <1565> man <444> by <1223> whom <3739> the Son <5207> of man <444> is betrayed <3860>(5743)! it had been <2258>(5713) good <2570> for that <1565> man <846> if <1487> he <444> had <1080> <0> not <3756> been born <1080>(5681).
25. Then <1161> Judas <2455>, which <3588> betrayed <3860>(5723) him <846>, answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627), Master <4461>, is <1510>(5748) it <3385> I <1473>? He said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Thou <4771> hast said <2036>(5627).
26. And <1161> as they <846> were eating <2068>(5723), Jesus <2424> took <2983>(5631) bread <740>, and <2532> blessed <2127>(5660) it, and <2532> brake <2806>(5656) it, and <2532> gave <1325>(5707) it to the disciples <3101>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627), Take <2983>(5628), eat <5315>(5628); this <5124> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> body <4983>.
27. And <2532> he took <2983>(5631) the cup <4221>, and <2532> gave thanks <2168>(5660), and gave <1325>(5656) it to them <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Drink ye <4095>(5628) all <3956> of <1537> it <846>;
28. For <1063> this <5124> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> blood <129> of the new <2537> testament <1242>, which <3588> is shed <1632>(5746) for <4012> many <4183> for <1519> the remission <859> of sins <266>.
29. But <1161> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, I will <4095> <0> not <3754> <3364> drink <4095>(5632) henceforth <575> <737> of <1537> this <5127> fruit <1081> of the vine <288>, until <2193> that <1565> day <2250> when <3752> I drink <4095>(5719)(5725) it <846> new <2537> with <3326> you <5216> in <1722> my <3450> Father's <3962> kingdom <932>.
30. And <2532> when they had sung an hymn <5214>(5660), they went out <1831>(5627) into <1519> the mount <3735> of Olives <1636>.
31. Then <5119> saith <3004>(5719) Jesus <2424> unto them <846>, All <3956> ye <5210> shall be offended <4624>(5701) because <1722> of me <1722> <1698> this <5026> night <3571>: for <1063> it is written <1125>(5769), I will smite <3960>(5692) the shepherd <4166>, and <2532> the sheep <4263> of the flock <4167> shall be scattered abroad <1287>(5701).
32. But <1161> after <3326> I <3165> am risen again <1453>(5683), I will go before <4254>(5692) you <5209> into <1519> Galilee <1056>.
33. Peter <4074> answered <611>(5679) and <1161> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, <2532> Though <1499> all <3956> men shall be offended <4624>(5701) because <1722> of thee <4671>, yet will I <1473> never <3763> be offended <4624>(5701).
34. Jesus <2424> said <5346>(5713) unto him <846>, Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, That <3754> this <1722> <5026> night <3571>, before <4250> the cock <220> crow <5455>(5658), thou shalt deny <533>(5695) me <3165> thrice <5151>.
35. Peter <4074> said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Though <2579> I <3165> should <1163>(5753) die <599>(5629) with <4862> thee <4671>, yet <3364> <0> will I <533> <0> not <3364> deny <533>(5695) thee <4571>. Likewise <3668> also <2532> said <2036>(5627) all <3956> the disciples <3101>.
36. Then <5119> cometh <2064>(5736) Jesus <2424> with <3326> them <846> unto <1519> a place <5564> called <3004>(5746) Gethsemane <1068>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto the disciples <3101>, Sit ye <2523>(5657) here <847>, while <2193> I go <565>(5631) and pray <4336>(5667) yonder <1563>.
37. And <2532> he took with him <3880>(5631) Peter <4074> and <2532> the two <1417> sons <5207> of Zebedee <2199>, and began <756>(5662) to be sorrowful <3076>(5745) and <2532> very heavy <85>(5721).
38. Then <5119> saith he <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, My <3450> soul <5590> is <2076>(5748) exceeding sorrowful <4036>, even unto <2193> death <2288>: tarry ye <3306>(5657) here <5602>, and <2532> watch <1127>(5720) with <3326> me <1700>.
39. And <2532> he went <4281> <0> a little <3397> further <4281>(5631), and <2532> fell <4098>(5627) on <1909> his <848> face <4383>, and <2532> prayed <4336>(5740), saying <3004>(5723), O my <3450> Father <3962>, if <1487> it be <2076>(5748) possible <1415>, let <3928> <0> this <5124> cup <4221> pass <3928>(5628) from <575> me <1700>: nevertheless <4133> not <3756> as <5613> I <1473> will <2309>(5719), but <235> as <5613> thou <4771> wilt.
40. And <2532> he cometh <2064>(5736) unto <4314> the disciples <3101>, and <2532> findeth <2147>(5719) them <846> asleep <2518>(5723), and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto Peter <4074>, What <3779>, could ye <2480>(5656) not <3756> watch <1127>(5658) with <3326> me <1700> one <3391> hour <5610>?
41. Watch <1127>(5720) and <2532> pray <4336>(5737), that <3363> <0> ye enter <1525>(5632) not <3363> into <1519> temptation <3986>: the spirit <4151> indeed <3303> is willing <4289>, but <1161> the flesh <4561> is weak <772>.
42. He went away <565>(5631) again <3825> the <1537> second time <1208>, and prayed <4336>(5662), saying <3004>(5723), O my <3450> Father <3962>, if <1487> this <5124> cup <4221> may <1410>(5736) not <3756> pass away <3928>(5629) from <575> me <1700>, except <3362> I drink <4095>(5632) it <846>, thy <4675> will <2307> be done <1096>(5676).
43. And <2532> he came <2064>(5631) and found <2147>(5719) them <846> asleep <2518>(5723) again <3825>: for <1063> their <846> eyes <3788> were <2258>(5713) heavy <916>(5772).
44. And <2532> he left <863>(5631) them <846>, and went away <565>(5631) again <3825>, and prayed <4336>(5662) <1537> the third time <5154>, saying <2036>(5631) the same <846> words <3056>.
45. Then <5119> cometh he <2064>(5736) to <4314> his <848> disciples <3101>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Sleep on <2518>(5719)(5720) now <3063>, and <2532> take your rest <373>(5731)(5732): behold <2400>(5628), the hour <5610> is at hand <1448>(5758), and <2532> the Son <5207> of man <444> is betrayed <3860>(5743) into <1519> the hands <5495> of sinners <268>.
46. Rise <1453>(5728), let us be going <71>(5725): behold <2400>(5628), he is at hand <1448>(5758) that doth betray <3860>(5723) me <3165>.
47. And <2532> while <2089> <0> he <846> yet <2089> spake <2980>(5723), lo <2400>(5628), Judas <2455>, one <1520> of the twelve <1427>, came <2064>(5627), and <2532> with <3326> him <846> a great <4183> multitude <3793> with <3326> swords <3162> and <2532> staves <3586>, from <575> the chief priests <749> and <2532> elders <4245> of the people <2992>.
48. Now <1161> he that betrayed <3860>(5723) him <846> gave <1325>(5656) them <846> a sign <4592>, saying <3004>(5723), Whomsoever <3739> <302> I shall kiss <5368>(5661), that same <846> is <2076>(5748) he <846>: hold <2902> <0> him <846> fast <2902>(5657).
49. And <2532> forthwith <2112> he came <4334>(5631) to Jesus <2424>, and said <2036>(5627), Hail <5463>(5720), master <4461>; and <2532> kissed <2705>(5656) him <846>.
50. And <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Friend <2083>, wherefore <1909> <3739> art thou <3739> come <3918>(5748)? Then <5119> came they <4334>(5631), and laid <1911>(5627) hands <5495> on <1909> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> took <2902>(5656) him <846>.
51. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), one <1520> of them which were with <3326> Jesus <2424> stretched out <1614>(5660) his hand <5495>, and drew <645>(5656) his <848> sword <3162>, and <2532> struck <3960>(5660) a servant <1401> of the high priest's <749>, and smote off <851>(5627) his <846> ear <5621>.
52. Then <5119> said <3004>(5719) Jesus <2424> unto him <846>, Put up again <654>(5657) thy <4675> sword <3162> into <1519> his <846> place <5117>: for <1063> all they <3956> that take <2983>(5631) the sword <3162> shall perish <622>(5698) with <1722> the sword <3162>.
53. <2228> Thinkest thou <1380>(5719) that <3754> I cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) now <737> pray <3870>(5658) to my <3450> Father <3962>, and <2532> he shall presently give <3936>(5692) me <3427> more <4119> than <2228> twelve <1427> legions <3003> of angels <32>?
54. But how <4459> then <3767> shall the scriptures <1124> be fulfilled <4137>(5686), that <3754> thus <3779> it must <1163>(5748) be <1096>(5635)?
55. In <1722> that same <1565> hour <5610> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> to the multitudes <3793>, Are ye come out <1831>(5627) as <5613> against <1909> a thief <3027> with <3326> swords <3162> and <2532> staves <3586> for to take <4815>(5629) me <3165>? I sat <2516>(5711) daily <2250> <2596> with <4314> you <5209> teaching <1321>(5723) in <1722> the temple <2411>, and <2532> ye laid <2902> <0> no <3756> hold <2902>(5656) on me <3165>.
56. But <1161> all <3650> this <5124> was done <1096>(5754), that <2443> the scriptures <1124> of the prophets <4396> might be fulfilled <4137>(5686). Then <5119> all <3956> the disciples <3101> forsook <863>(5631) him <846>, and fled <5343>(5627).
57. And <1161> they that had laid hold <2902>(5660) on Jesus <2424> led him away <520>(5627) to <4314> Caiaphas <2533> the high priest <749>, where <3699> the scribes <1122> and <2532> the elders <4245> were assembled <4863>(5681).
58. But <1161> Peter <4074> followed <190>(5707) him <846> afar off <575> <3113> unto <2193> the high priest's <749> palace <833>, and <2532> went <1525>(5631) in <2080>, and sat <2521>(5711) with <3326> the servants <5257>, to see <1492>(5629) the end <5056>.
59. Now <1161> the chief priests <749>, and <2532> elders <4245>, and <2532> all <3650> the council <4892>, sought <2212>(5707) false witness <5577> against <2596> Jesus <2424>, to <3704> put <2289> <0> him <846> to death <2289>(5661);
60. But <2532> found <2147>(5627) none <3756>: yea <2532>, though many <4183> false witnesses <5575> came <4334>(5631), yet found they <2147>(5627) none <3756>. <1161> At the last <5305> came <4334>(5631) two <1417> false witnesses <5575>,
61. And said <2036>(5627), This <3778> fellow said <5346>(5713), I am able <1410>(5736) to destroy <2647>(5658) the temple <3485> of God <2316>, and <2532> to build <3618>(5658) it <846> in <1223> three <5140> days <2250>.
62. And <2532> the high priest <749> arose <450>(5631), and said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Answerest thou <611>(5736) nothing <3762>? what <5101> is it which these <3778> witness against <2649>(5719) thee <4675>?
63. But <1161> Jesus <2424> held his peace <4623>(5707). And <2532> the high priest <749> answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, I adjure <1844>(5719) thee <4571> by <2596> the living <2198>(5723) God <2316>, that <2443> thou tell <2036>(5632) us <2254> whether <1487> thou <4771> be <1488>(5748) the Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
64. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Thou <4771> hast said <2036>(5627): nevertheless <4133> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, Hereafter <737> <575> shall ye see <3700>(5695) the Son <5207> of man <444> sitting <2521>(5740) on <1537> the right hand <1188> of power <1411>, and <2532> coming <2064>(5740) in <1909> the clouds <3507> of heaven <3772>.
65. Then <5119> the high priest <749> rent <1284>(5656) his <848> clothes <2440>, saying <3004>(5723), <3754> He hath spoken blasphemy <987>(5656); what <5101> further <2089> need <5532> have we <2192>(5719) of witnesses <3144>? behold <2396>, now <3568> ye have heard <191>(5656) his <846> blasphemy <988>.
66. What <5101> think <1380>(5719) ye <5213>? They answered <611>(5679) and <1161> said <2036>(5627), He is <2076>(5748) guilty <1777> of death <2288>.
67. Then <5119> did they spit <1716>(5656) in <1519> his <846> face <4383>, and <2532> buffeted <2852>(5656) him <846>; and <1161> others smote him with the palms of their hands <4474>(5656),
68. Saying <3004>(5723), Prophesy <4395>(5657) unto us <2254>, thou Christ <5547>, Who <5101> is he <2076>(5748) that smote <3817>(5660) thee <4571>?
69. Now <1161> Peter <4074> sat <2521>(5711) without <1854> in <1722> the palace <833>: and <2532> a <3391> damsel <3814> came <4334>(5627) unto him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Thou <4771> also <2532> wast <2258>(5713) with <3326> Jesus <2424> of Galilee <1057>.
70. But <1161> he denied <720>(5662) before <1715> them all <3956>, saying <3004>(5723), I know <1492>(5758) not <3756> what <5101> thou sayest <3004>(5719).
71. And <1161> when he <846> was gone out <1831>(5631) into <1519> the porch <4440>, another <243> maid saw <1492>(5627) him <846>, and <2532> said <3004>(5719) unto them that were there <1563>, This <3778> fellow was <2258>(5713) also <2532> with <3326> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3480>.
72. And <2532> again <3825> he denied <720>(5662) with <3326> an oath <3727>, <3754> I do <1492> <0> not <3756> know <1492>(5758) the man <444>.
73. And <1161> after <3326> a while <3397> came unto him they <4334>(5631) that stood by <2476>(5761), and said <2036>(5627) to Peter <4074>, Surely <230> thou <4771> also <2532> art <1488>(5748) one of <1537> them <846>; for <1063> <2532> thy <4675> speech <2981> bewrayeth <1212> thee <4571> <4160>(5719).
74. Then <5119> began he <756>(5662) to curse <2653>(5721) and <2532> to swear <3660>(5721), saying, <3754> I know <1492>(5758) not <3756> the man <444>. And <2532> immediately <2112> the cock <220> crew <5455>(5656).
75. And <2532> Peter <4074> remembered <3415>(5681) the word <4487> of Jesus <2424>, which <3588> said <2046>(5761) unto him <846>, Before <3754> <4250> the cock <220> crow <5455>(5658), thou shalt deny <533>(5695) me <3165> thrice <5151>. And <2532> he went out <1854>, and <1831>(5631) wept <2799>(5656) bitterly <4090>.
