⁸ She do what all she cudda do an' she prepare my body to get bury. ⁹ Ta tell ya da trute, wheneva da gospel get preach all ova da world, what she do ga be talk bout an' she ga be rememba fa dat.

¹³ He sen two uh he disciples an' tell dem,"When ya go ta da city one man wit a jug uh wata ga meet ya.

³⁰ Jesus say, "Ta tell ya da trute, today--yeah dis same night--before da roosta crow two times you ga play like you een know me tree times." ³¹ Peter say wit conviction, " Even if I gatta dead wit you, I een ga play like I een know you." Alla dem promise da same ting.

³² Dey come ta a place what name Gethsemane an' Jesus tell he disciples, " Yall sit right here an' I ga go pray." ³³ He take Peter, James an' John wit him an' he start ta worry an' fret. ³⁴ He say, " My soul in deep mournin', where I feel like I ga dead'. Stay right here an' watch out."

³⁵ He gone lil ways from dem an' Jesus fall on da groun' an' he pray fa da --da sufferin' ta get take from him if dat cudda happen. ³⁶ He say, "Abba, Fadda, all tings possible wit you. Take dis cup from me. But don' do what I wan do, do what you want." ³⁷ When he come back dey was done sleepin' an' he tell Peter. "Simon, you sleepin'? You cud'n even keep watch fa one hour?

³⁸ Keep watch an' pray you don' fall in temptation. Da spirit willin' but da flesh weak." footnote ³⁹ He gone away again ta pray an' use da same words. ⁴⁰ When he come back again dey was sleepin' cuz dey cudn keep dey eye open. Dey een know how ta explain deyself.

⁴¹ He come back ta dem da tird time an' say, "Yall still sleepin' an restin'? Das enuff a dat! Da hour fa me ta suffer done reach. Look! Da Son uh Man gettin' betray inta da hands uh sinners. ⁴² Get up an less go. Da one who ga betray me close by."

⁵¹ One young man who was wearin' some linen clothes was followin' Jesus. When da man dem grab him, ⁵² he lef da linen clothes behine an' he run away ball naked.

⁵³ Dey take Jesus ta da high priest. All da chief priests, eldas an' scribes was gatherin' roun' Jesus. ⁵⁴ Nah Peter was followin' lil ways behin' Jesus, an' he gone far as the high priest yard. He sit wit da officers, keepin' heself warm by da fire.

⁵⁵ Nah da chief priest dem an' da Jewish council was lookin' for evidence against Jesus so dey cudda kill him. But dey een fin' none. ⁵⁶ Some people was tellin' lies on him but dey lies wasn' even makin' sense. ⁵⁷ Some a dem stan up an' lie on he name; dey say,

⁵⁸ "We did hear him say, ' I ga break up dis temple what make wit hands, an' in tree days I guh buil' anudda one what no hands een make." ⁵⁹ Still dey evidence agains' him een make no sense.

⁶⁰ Da high priest stan' up an' aks Jesus, " You een have no answer aye? You een gat nuttin' ta say bout what dese people talkin' bout' you?' ⁶¹ But he keep quiet an' he een say nuttin'. Da high priest aks him again an' say, "You is da Christ, da Son uh da Bless One?" ⁶² Jesus say, " I is; an' you ga see da Son uh Man when he sit in da place uh honour an' come in da heavenly clouds."

⁶³ Da high priest tear up he clothes an' say," We still need any witness? ⁶⁴ Ya'll done hear da blasphemy. What yinna ga do?" All uh dem say he deserve ta get kill. ⁶⁵ Some uh da people start ta spit on him an' cover up he face an' hit him wit dey fis' an' say, "Prophesy!" Da officers carry him an' beat him.

Den he gone out da gate an' da rooster crow. ¹

⁶⁹ But da servant girl see him an' she start tellin' da people roun' dere, "Dis man is one uh dem!" ⁷⁰ But Peter say it wasn' true again. Afta lil while da people who was standin' dere was tellin' Peter, " You is one a dem fa true, cause you is a Galilean." ⁷¹ But he start cussin' an' swearin, " I don' even know dis man yall talkin' bout' ".
