Mark 14
1 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.
Now the passover and the [feast of] unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him.

5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;
7 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.
for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
What she could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.
9 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."
And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this [woman] has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.

But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before [the] cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.
31 But he insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
But he said [so much] exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou [wilt].
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead [him] away safely.
45 When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.
And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.
46 They laid hands on him, and seized him.

And Peter followed him at a distance, till [he was] within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light [of the fire].
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find [any].
56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.

60 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 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."
And Jesus said, I am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65 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.
And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66 Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And thou wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
68 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.
But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.
69 And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is [one] of them.
70 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."
And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art [one] of them, for also thou art a Galilean.
71 But he began to curse, and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72 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.
And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before [the] cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.
