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 feast of the passover and unleavened bread was within two days: and the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize Him by treachery 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, least there be a tumult of the people.
3 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.
And when He was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He was at table, there came a woman with an alabaster-box of ointment of spikenard, very valuable; and she brake the box and poured it on his head.
4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?
And there were some provoked at it and said, Why was this waste made of the ointment?
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 above three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they inveighed against 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 give her uneasiness?
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.
She has done a kind office to me. For ye have the poor always with you, and may do them good, whenever ye will; but me ye have not always.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
She has done what she could: she has embalmed my body beforehand against 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."
Verily I tell you, wheresoever this gospel is preached, through all the world, what she hath done shall also be told for a memorial of her.
10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, in order to betray Him unto them.
11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
And they were glad, when they heard it, and engaged to give him money. And he sought to betray Him at a proper season.
12 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?"
And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the paschal lamb, his disciples said to Him, Where wouldst thou have us go and make preparation for thee to eat of the paschal lamb?
13 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,
And He sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water:
14 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?"'
follow him, and where he goes in, say to the man of the house, The master inquireth, Where is the room, in which 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."
And he will shew you a large upper room ready prepared, there make preparation for us.
16 The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found every thing as He told them; and so prepared the passover.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.
And in the evening He cometh with the rest of the twelve.
18 And as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
And when they were sat down and eating together, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me, who is now eating with me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
And they were grieved, and said to Him one by one, Is it I?
20 He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
Is it I? And He said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that is now dipping with me in the dish.
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 is going indeed as it is written concerning Him; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed; it had been good for him, if that man 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 as they were at table, Jesus took bread, and when He had blessed it He brake it, and gave it to them, and said, Take, eat, This is my body:
23 He took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
and He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
And He said unto them, This is an emblem of my blood the seal of the new covenant, which is to be shed for many:
25 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."
and I assure you, that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, till the day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
27 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.'
And Jesus saith unto them, Ye will all of you be made to offend on my account 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 I am risen again, 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, though all should be made to offend, 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."
And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I tell thee, that to day, even in this very night, before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice.
31 But he insisted, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.
But he said with the more vehemence, Though I should die with thee, I will never disown thee. And so likewise said they all.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
And they came to a place called Gethsemane, and He saith to his disciples, Sit here whilst I go and pray.
33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
And He taketh Peter and James and John with Him, and He began to be overwhelmed with terror and anguish.
34 He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
And He saith unto them, My Soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death, stay here and watch.
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
And going a little farther, He prostrated Himself, and prayed, if it were possible, that this hour might pass from Him.
36 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."
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 asleep, and saith to Peter, Simon, art thou sleeping? couldst thou not 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, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the body is weak.
39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
And He went away again, and prayed, after the same manner.
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 again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to say to Him.
41 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.
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Are ye sleeping still and taking your rest? It is enough, the hour is come: behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me is near."
Rise, let us go; see the traitor is at hand.
43 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.
And immediately while He was yet speaking cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders:
44 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."
(Now the traitor had given them a sign, saying, The man, whom I shall kiss, is He; lay hold of 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 came, he went directly up to Him and said, Master, Master; and kissed Him.
46 They laid hands on him, and seized him.
And they laid their hands on Him, and apprehended Him.
47 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.
And one of those that were present, drawing a sword, struck at the high priest's servant, and took off his ear.
48 Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
And Jesus said unto them, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and clubs to take me?
49 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."
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not seize me: but this is done that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
50 They all left him, and fled.
And the disciples all forsook Him and fled: but there followed Him a certain youth,
51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. And they grabbed him,
who had only a linen cloth wrapt about him, and the young men laid hold on him;
52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
and he let go the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together.
And they led Jesus away to the high priest, with whom were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54 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.
And Peter followed Him at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: and sat down among the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
Now the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence 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.
for many bare false witness against Him, and the evidences did not agree.
57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
At last there rose up some and bare false witness against Him,
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.'"
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:
59 Even so, their testimony did not agree.
but neither was their evidence consistent.
60 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus saying, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness 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 made him no answer. So the high priest asked Him again, and saith to Him, Art thou the Messiah the Son of the blessed God?
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 said, What farther need have we 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 as worthy 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 they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.
66 Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
And Peter being in the hall below, there came one of the maid-servants 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 as he was warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene:
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 it, saying, I do not know Him, nor do I understand what thou meanest. And he went out into the porch, and the 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 said to them that stood by, This is one of them: and he denied it again.
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 a little after, they that stood by, said to Peter again, Thou art certainly one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like theirs.
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 swear saying, I do not know this man of whom ye speak: And the cock crowed a second time.
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.
Then Peter called to mind the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice. And he covered his face and wept.
