50:4The Lord has given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.

5The Lord God has opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back.

6I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.

7The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not put to shame: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

8He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? let us stand together, who is my adversary? let him come near to me.

9Look the Lord God is my helper: who is the one who will condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a clothing, the moth shall eat them up.

69:8Because for your sake I have borne shame; shame has covered my face.

9I am become a stranger to my brothers and sisters, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

10For the zeal of your house has eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

21In your sight are all those who afflict me; my heart has expected shame and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

22And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

31I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.

33Let the poor see and rejoice: seek you God, and your soul shall live.

34For the Lord has heard the poor: and has not despised his prisoners.

26:14Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,

15And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

16And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.

17And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where will you that we prepare for you to eat the pasch?

18But Jesus said: Go you into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master says, My time is near at hand, with you I make the pasch with my disciples.

19And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.

20But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.

21And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.

22And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?

23But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.

24The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him: but sorrow to that man by whom the Son of Man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.

25And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Teacher? He says to him: You have said it.
