John 18:1-19
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them,“ Who are you looking for?”They answered him,“ Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them,“ I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.When therefore he said to them,“ I am he,” they went backward, and fell to the ground.Again therefore he asked them,“ Who are you looking for?” They said,“ Jesus of Nazareth.”Jesus answered,“ I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke,“ Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.Jesus therefore said to Peter,“ Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,and led him to Annas first, for he was father- in- law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter,“ Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said,“ I am not.”Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Psalms 22:1-21
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,“ He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.

Mark 14:1-15
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.For they said,“ Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard— very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying,“ Why has this ointment been wasted?For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.But Jesus said,“ Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him,“ Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”He sent two of his disciples, and said to them,“ Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house,‘ The Teacher says,“ Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
