 <div class="p">36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, &#8220;Sit here while I go over there and pray.&#8221; 37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, &#8220;My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, &#8220;My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. &#8220;Couldn&#8217;t you men keep watch with me for one hour?&#8221; he asked Peter. 41&#8220;Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 42He went away a second time and prayed, &#8220;My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.</div><div class="p"> 45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, &#8220;Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!&#8221;</div><div class="s1">Jesus Arrested</div><div class="p"> 47While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: &#8220;The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.&#8221; 49Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, &#8220;Greetings, Rabbi!&#8221; and kissed him.</div><div class="p"> 50Jesus replied, &#8220;Do what you came for, friend.&#8221;#26:50 Or &#8220;Why have you come, friend?&#8221;</div><div class="p">Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51With that, one of Jesus&#8217; companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.</div><div class="p"> 52 &#8220;Put your sword back in its place,&#8221; Jesus said to him, &#8220;for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 55In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, &#8220;Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.&#8221; Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.</div><div class="s1">Jesus Before the Sanhedrin</div><div class="p"> 57Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.</div><div class="p"> 59The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward.</div><div class="p">Finally two came forward 61and declared, &#8220;This fellow said, &#8216;I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, &#8220;Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?&#8221; 63But Jesus remained silent.</div><div class="p">The high priest said to him, &#8220;I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 64 &#8220;You have said so,&#8221; Jesus replied. &#8220;But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.&#8221;#26:64 See Psalm 110:1; Daniel 7:13.</div><div class="p"> 65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, &#8220;He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66What do you think?&#8221;</div><div class="p">&#8220;He is worthy of death,&#8221; they answered.</div><div class="p"> 67Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him 68and said, &#8220;Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?&#8221;</div><div class="s1">Peter Disowns Jesus</div><div class="p"> 69Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. &#8220;You also were with Jesus of Galilee,&#8221; she said.</div><div class="p"> 70But he denied it before them all. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about,&#8221; he said.</div><div class="p"> 71Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, &#8220;This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 72He denied it again, with an oath: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know the man!&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 73After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, &#8220;Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 74Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know the man!&#8221;</div><div class="p">Immediately a rooster crowed. 75Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: &#8220;Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.&#8221; And he went outside and wept bitterly.</div>

 <div class="label">5</div><div class="s1">Bricks Without Straw</div><div class="p"> 1Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, &#8220;This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: &#8216;Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 2Pharaoh said, &#8220;Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 3Then they said, &#8220;The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 4But the king of Egypt said, &#8220;Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!&#8221; 5Then Pharaoh said, &#8220;Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you are stopping them from working.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 6That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 7&#8220;You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. 8But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don&#8217;t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, &#8216;Let us go and sacrifice to our God.&#8217; 9Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 10Then the slave drivers and the overseers went out and said to the people, &#8220;This is what Pharaoh says: &#8216;I will not give you any more straw. 11Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221; 12So the people scattered all over Egypt to gather stubble to use for straw. 13The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, &#8220;Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.&#8221; 14And Pharaoh&#8217;s slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers they had appointed, demanding, &#8220;Why haven&#8217;t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 15Then the Israelite overseers went and appealed to Pharaoh: &#8220;Why have you treated your servants this way? 16Your servants are given no straw, yet we are told, &#8216;Make bricks!&#8217; Your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 17Pharaoh said, &#8220;Lazy, that&#8217;s what you are&#8212;lazy! That is why you keep saying, &#8216;Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.&#8217; 18Now get to work. You will not be given any straw, yet you must produce your full quota of bricks.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 19The Israelite overseers realized they were in trouble when they were told, &#8220;You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day.&#8221; 20When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, 21and they said, &#8220;May the Lord look on you and judge you! You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.&#8221;</div><div class="s1">God Promises Deliverance</div><div class="p"> 22Moses returned to the Lord and said, &#8220;Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? 23Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.&#8221;</div>
