And it came to pass when the days were well nigh come that Jesus should
be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he
departed from Galilee, and passed through the borders of Samaria and
Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan. And great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going
before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid.
And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that
were to happen unto them, saying, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and
the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the
scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto
the Gentiles; and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall
scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again."
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples,
"Let us also go, that we may die with him."
And he entered and passed through Jericho and went on before, going up
to Jerusalem.
Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem
out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves. They
sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in
the temple, "What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?"
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if
any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.
