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.
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.
2 For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people."
But they said, Not on the feast -[day], lest there should be an uproar of the people.

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on 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 with you always, and whenever ye will ye may 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.
She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
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."
Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her.

And wherever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there."

21 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."
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written concerning 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.
22 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."

And Jesus saith to them, All ye will be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."
But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet [will] not I.
30 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 insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible to thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless, 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 cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldst not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.
39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

40 Again he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.
And when he returned, he found them asleep again (for their eyes were heavy: ) neither knew they what to answer him.

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.
45 When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.
And as soon as he was come, he goeth immediately to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 They laid hands on him, and seized him.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.

58 "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.'"

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 stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which 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 held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him, Art thou 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 on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further 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 on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants 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 as Peter was below in the palace, there cometh 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 when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
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, neither do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed.
69 And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them 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 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 Galilean, and thy speech agreeth [thereto].
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, [saying], 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 the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
