Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to RAheme, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith,

My time is at hand;

I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

And the disciples did as RAheme had appointed them;

and they made ready the passover.

Now when the even was come,

he sat down with the twelve.

And as they did eat,

he said,

Verily I say unto you,

that one of you shall betray me.

And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also,

O my father.

And they were exceeding sorrowful,

But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

And he answered and said,

Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

And Reuben returned unto the pit;

and,

behold,

Joseph was not in the pit;

and he rent his clothes.

And Cain talked with Ab-el his brother:

*****

And he returned unto his brethren,

and said,

The child is not;

and I, whither shall I go?

and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father;

and said, This have we found:

know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

And he knew it,

and said,

It is my son's coat;

an evil beast hath devoured him;

Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish,

the same shall betray me.

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him:

knowing good and evil.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

. . . And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said,

Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman,

Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

 knowing good and evil.

but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!

it had been good for that man - - if he had not been born.

And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.

And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them,

If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me,

mine heart shall be knit unto you:

but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies,

seeing there is no wrong in mine hands,

the God of our fathers look thereon,

and rebuke it.

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

the feast of unleavened bread

And the Lord said furthermore unto him,

Put now thine hand into thy bosom.

And he put his hand into his bosom:

and when he took it out,

behold, his hand w-as leprous as snow.

And as they were eating, RAheme took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;

this is my body.

And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.

And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

And he said,

Put thine hand into thy bosom again.

And he put his hand into his bosom again;

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth w-as an olive leaf plucked off:

And it came to pass in those days, that RAheme came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

and plucked it out of his bosom,

and,

behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

And it shall come to pass,

if they will not believe thee,

neither hearken to the voice of the first sign,

that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

The rest said,

Let be,

let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

RAheme, when he had cried again with a loud voice,

yielded up the ghost.
