< Mark 14 >

1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
And the Passover and the Unleavened [Bread] were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of Him, they might kill Him;
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
and they said, “Not in the celebration, lest there will be a tumult of the people.”
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at food, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
And He, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at His reclining, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, poured [it] on His head;
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, “For what has this waste of the ointment been made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
For this could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor”; and they were murmuring at her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble all of you her? she has wrought a good work on me.
And Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you giving her trouble? She worked a good work on Me;
7 For all of you have the poor with you always, and whenever all of you will all of you may do them good: but me all of you have not always.
for you always have the poor with you, and whenever you may will you are able to do them good, but you do not always have Me;
8 She has done what she could: she has come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
she did what she could, she anticipated to anoint My body for the embalming.
9 Verily I say unto you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be spoken of—for a memorial of her.”
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
And Judas the Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver Him up to 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.
and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver Him up.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where will you that we go and prepare that you may eat the passover?
And the first day of the Unleavened [Bread], when they were killing the Passover, His disciples say to Him, “Where will You, [that] having gone, we may prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”
13 And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says unto them, Go all of you into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
And He sends forth two of His disciples and says to them, “Go away into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you, follow him;
14 And where ever he shall go in, say all of you to the goodman of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest room, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
and wherever he may go in, say to the master of the house: The Teacher says, Where is the guest-chamber, where the Passover, with My disciples, I may eat?
15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
And he will show you a large upper room, furnished, prepared—make ready for us there.”
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.
And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as He said to them, and they made ready the Passover.
17 And in the evening he comes with the twelve.
And evening having come, He comes with the Twelve,
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eats with me shall betray me.
and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you who is eating with Me will deliver Me up.”
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
And He answering said to them, “One of the Twelve who is dipping with Me in the dish;
21 The Son of man indeed goes, 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.
the Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been written concerning Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; it were good to him if that man had not 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.
And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, broke, 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.
And having taken the cup, having given thanks, He gave to them, and they drank of it—all;
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
and He said to them, “This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is being poured out 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.
truly I say to you that I may drink no more of the produce of the vine until that day when I may drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the Mount of Olives,
27 And Jesus says unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
and Jesus says to them, “All of you will be stumbled at Me this night, because it has been written: I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered abroad;
28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
but after My having risen I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
And Peter said to Him, “And if all will be stumbled, yet not I.”
30 And Jesus says unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times.
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that today, this night, before a rooster will crow twice, three times you will deny Me.”
31 But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any way. Likewise also said they all.
And he spoke the more vehemently, “If it may be necessary for me to die with You—I will in no way deny You”; and in like manner also said they all.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit all of you here, while I shall pray.
And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and He says to His disciples, “Sit here until I may pray”;
33 And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
and He takes Peter, and James, and John with Him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,
34 And says unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry all of you here, and watch.
and He says to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful—to death; remain 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.
And having gone forward a little, He fell on the earth, and was praying that, if it be possible, the hour may pass from Him,
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.
and He said, “Abba, Father; all things are possible to You; make this cup pass from Me; but not what I will, but what You [will].”
37 And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says unto Peter, Simon, sleep you? could not you watch one hour?
And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, “Simon, you sleep! You were not able to watch one hour!
38 Watch all of you and pray, lest all of you enter into temptation. The spirit (pneuma) truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.”
39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words. (logos)
And again having gone away, He prayed, saying the same word;
40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy, ) neither know they what to answer him.
and having returned, He found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer Him.
41 And he comes the third time, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
And He comes the third time and says to them, “Sleep on from now on, and rest—it is over; the hour came; behold, the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of the sinful;
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrays me is at hand.
rise, we may go, behold, he who is delivering Me up has come near.”
43 And immediately, while he yet spoke, comes Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
And immediately—while He is yet speaking—Judas comes near, one of the Twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
and he who is delivering Him up had given a token to them, saying, “Whomsoever I will kiss, it is He, lay hold on Him, and lead Him away safely,”
45 And as soon as he was come, he goes immediately to him, and says, Master, master; and kissed him.
and having come, immediately, having gone near Him, he says, “Rabbi, Rabbi,” and kissed Him.
46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
And they laid on Him their hands, and kept hold on Him;
47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and stroke a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are all of you come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
And Jesus answering said to them, “As against a robber you came out, with swords and sticks, to take Me!
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and all of you took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
Daily I was with you teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hold on Me—but that the Writings may be fulfilled.”
50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
And having left Him they all fled;
51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
and a certain young man was following Him, having cast a linen cloth on [his] naked [body], and the young men lay hold on him,
52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
and he, having left the linen cloth, fled from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
And they led Jesus away to the chief priest, and all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes come together;
54 And Peter followed him far off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
and Peter followed Him far off, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
And the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus—to put Him to death, and they were not finding,
56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
for many were bearing false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not alike.
57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
“We heard Him saying, I will throw down this temple made with hands, and by three days, I will build another made without hands”;
59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
and neither so was their testimony alike.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “You do not answer anything! Why do these testify against You?”
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
And He was keeping silent and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning Him and says to Him, “Are You the Christ—the Son of the Blessed?”
62 And Jesus said, I am: and all of you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
And Jesus said, “I AM; and you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of Heaven.”
63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and says, What need we any further witnesses?
And the chief priest, having torn his garments, says, “What need have we yet of witnesses?
64 All of you have heard the blasphemy: what think all of you? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
You heard the slander, what appears to you?” And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death,
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
and certain began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to punch Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy”; and the officers were striking Him with their palms.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there comes one of the maids of the high priest:
And Peter being in the hall beneath, there comes one of the maids of the chief priest,
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And you also were with Jesus of Nazareth.
and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, “And you were with Jesus of Nazareth!”
68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
And he denied, saying, “I have not known [Him], neither do I understand what you say”; and he went forth outside to the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near, “This is of them”;
70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely you are one of them: for you are a Galilaean, and your speech agrees thereto.
and he was again denying. And after a while again, those standing near said to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean, and your speech is alike”;
71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom all of you speak.
and he began to curse, and to swear, “I have not known this Man of whom you speak”;
72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word (rhema) that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
and a second time a rooster crowed, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you may deny Me three times”; and having thought thereon—he was weeping.
