Mark 14
1 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;
It was two days before the Passover and the Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for an underhanded way to seize and kill Him.
2 and they said, “Not in the celebration, lest there will be a tumult of the people.”
But they said, “Not during the feast, or the people may riot.”
3 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;
Being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining at a meal, a woman came having an alabaster vase of very costly perfume of pure nard. Then she broke the vase and began to pour it over His head.
4 and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, “For what has this waste of the ointment been made?
But there were some who were expressing indignation to one another and saying: “To what purpose was this perfume wasted?
5 For this could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor”; and they were murmuring at her.
It could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor!” And they started censuring her.
6 And Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you giving her trouble? She worked a good work on Me;
But Jesus said: “Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done something useful to me.
7 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;
You will always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 she did what she could, she anticipated to anoint My body for the embalming.
She did what she could. She has perfumed my body for the burying before the fact.
9 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.”
Assuredly I tell you, wherever this Gospel may be proclaimed throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
10 And Judas the Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver Him up to them,
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests, so as to betray Him to them.
11 and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver Him up.
Well upon hearing it they rejoiced and promised to give him silver coins. So he started figuring how he might conveniently betray Him.
12 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?”
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they would sacrifice the Paschal lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare, so that you may eat the Passover?”
13 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;
So He sent two of His disciples, saying to them: “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a clay jar of water; follow him.
14 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?
Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The teacher says, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
15 And he will show you a large upper room, furnished, prepared—make ready for us there.”
He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready; there prepare for us.”
16 And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as He said to them, and they made ready the Passover.
So His disciples set out and came into the city and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.
17 And evening having come, He comes with the Twelve,
When it was evening He came with the twelve.
18 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.”
Now as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Assuredly I tell you, one of you who is eating with me will betray me.”
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
So they began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another, “Surely not I?”
20 And He answering said to them, “One of the Twelve who is dipping with Me in the dish;
He answered and said to them: “It is one of the twelve, the one dipping with me in the bowl.
21 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.”
The Son of the Man is indeed going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of the Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man not to have been born.”
22 And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, broke, and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
23 And having taken the cup, having given thanks, He gave to them, and they drank of it—all;
Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank it.
24 and He said to them, “This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is being poured out for many;
And He said to them: “This is my blood, that of the new covenant, that is being shed for many.
25 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.”
I tell you assuredly that I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
26 And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the Mount of Olives,
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 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;
Then Jesus said to them: “All of you will be caused to stumble because of me this night, because it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 but after My having risen I will go before you to Galilee.”
But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 And Peter said to Him, “And if all will be stumbled, yet not I.”
But Peter said to Him, “Even if all are caused to stumble, yet not I.”
30 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.”
Jesus said to him, “I tell you assuredly that you, today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 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.
But he insisted even more vehemently, “If I have to die with you, I will absolutely not deny you!” And all the others said the same.
32 And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and He says to His disciples, “Sit here until I may pray”;
Then they came to a place that was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 and He takes Peter, and James, and John with Him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,
But He took with Him Peter, James and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 and He says to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful—to death; remain here, and watch.”
And He said to them: “My soul is overwhelmed with grief, to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
35 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,
Going on a little, He fell to the ground and started praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from Him.
36 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].”
And He said: “Abba (Father), all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what you will.”
37 And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, “Simon, you sleep! You were not able to watch one hour!
Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter: “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you keep watch for even one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.”
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 And again having gone away, He prayed, saying the same word;
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40 and having returned, He found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer Him.
And when He returned He found them sleeping again, because their eyes were being weighed down; and they did not know how to answer Him.
41 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;
Then He came the third time and said to them: “You are still sleeping and resting! It is enough, the hour has come; yes, the Son of the Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 rise, we may go, behold, he who is delivering Me up has come near.”
Get up, let's be going. See, my betrayer has approached.”
43 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;
And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him a considerable crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 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,”
Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, he it is; seize him and take him away securely.”
45 and having come, immediately, having gone near Him, he says, “Rabbi, Rabbi,” and kissed Him.
So upon arriving he went directly to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46 And they laid on Him their hands, and kept hold on Him;
So they laid their hands on Him and secured Him.
47 and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took 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 answering said to them, “As against a robber you came out, with swords and sticks, to take Me!
Then Jesus reacted by saying to them: “You have come out with swords and clubs to arrest me, as if I were a bandit.
49 Daily I was with you teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hold on Me—but that the Writings may be fulfilled.”
I was with you daily in the temple, teaching, and you did not seize me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 And having left Him they all fled;
Then they all deserted Him and ran away.
51 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,
Now a certain young man had followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52 and he, having left the linen cloth, fled from them naked.
so leaving the linen cloth he fled from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus away to the chief priest, and all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes come together;
They led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.
54 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.
Well Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the operatives and warming himself at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus—to put Him to death, and they were not finding,
Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Jesus so as to kill Him, but were not finding any.
56 for many were bearing false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not alike.
To be sure, many were testifying falsely against Him, but their statements did not agree.
57 And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,
Then some stood up and started testifying falsely against Him, saying,
58 “We heard Him saying, I will throw down this temple made with hands, and by three days, I will build another made without hands”;
“We heard him saying: ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59 and neither so was their testimony alike.
But not even then did their testimony agree.
60 And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “You do not answer anything! Why do these testify against You?”
Then the high priest stood up in the center and questioned Jesus, saying: “Are you not going to answer? What are these testifying against you?”
61 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?”
But He remained silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest questioned Him and said to Him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 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.”
So Jesus said: “I am, and you will see the Son of the Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”
63 And the chief priest, having torn his garments, says, “What need have we yet of witnesses?
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said: “What further need do we have of witnesses?
64 You heard the slander, what appears to you?” And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death,
You heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
65 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.
Then some began to spit on Him, to cover His face, punch Him and say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the operatives started slapping Him.
66 And Peter being in the hall beneath, there comes one of the maids of the chief priest,
Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by.
67 and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, “And you were with Jesus of Nazareth!”
And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Natsarene!”
68 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.
But Peter denied, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out into the entryway, and a rooster crowed.
69 And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near, “This is of them”;
But that servant girl saw him again and began to say to those standing by, “This guy is one of them.”
70 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”;
But again he kept denying it. Again, after a little while, those who were standing by said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them; because you really are a Galilean, and your accent agrees!”
71 and he began to curse, and to swear, “I have not known this Man of whom you speak”;
Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you are speaking!”
72 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.
And for the second time a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” He broke down and started to cry.
