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.
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.
2 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar of the people.
For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, 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.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?
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 ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done 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.

12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us.
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. 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.
The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
And as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
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, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
20 And he answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, 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.
For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he 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.
As they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take; 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.

24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed 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 tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
Jesus said to them, "All of you will fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet [will] not I.
But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."
30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, [even] in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."
31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
But he insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye 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.

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy, ) neither wist they what to answer him.

41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh 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.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, 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.
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."
45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.
46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and [with] staves to take me?
Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.
57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

Even so, their testimony did not agree.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?
The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye 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 at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" 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.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy." And the officers took him and beat him.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out into the forecourt, 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 servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art [one] of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth [thereto].
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your accent shows it."
71 But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this man of whom ye speak.
But he began to curse, and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
