1 John 3
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his
brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should
love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's
righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in
deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts
before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth
all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Mark 14
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to
betray him unto them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money.
And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his
disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou
mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into
the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow
him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The
Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my
disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make
ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had
said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you
which eateth with me shall betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?
and another said, Is it I?
20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth
with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man
by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never
been born.
22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave
to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and
they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine,
until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered.
28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in
this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not
deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his
disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore
amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye
here, and watch.
35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if
it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away
this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon,
sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is
ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were
heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take
your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
