Mark 14
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Matzah, and the chief cohanim 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 be an uproar of the people.
3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Shim'on ha-Metzora, 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 being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at food, 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.
4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?
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 Yeshua 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 all of you her? she has 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 all of you have the poor with you always, and whenever all of you will all of you may do them good: but me all of you 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 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 unto you, Where ever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 Judah the Iskriot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief cohanim, that he might deliver him to them.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, 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 when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 On the first day of matzah, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his talmidim asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where will you that we go and prepare that you may eat the passover?
13 He sent two of his talmidim, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says unto them, Go all of you into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
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 talmidim?"'
And where ever he shall go in, say all of you to the goodman of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest room, where I shall 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 show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 The talmidim 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 forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.
And in the evening he comes with the twelve.
18 And as they were reclining and eating, Yeshua said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eats with me shall betray 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 began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dips 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 indeed goes, 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.
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 did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave 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 my blood of the new testament, which is 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."
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.
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 into the mount of Olives.
27 Yeshua 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 says unto them, All you shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galil."
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 unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
30 Yeshua 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 says unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, you shall 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 you, I will not deny you in any way. Likewise also said they all.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his talmidim, "Sit here, while I pray."
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit all of you here, while I shall pray.
33 He took with him Peter, Jacob, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
And says unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry all of you 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 he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the 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 unto you; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Shim'on, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says unto Peter, Simon, sleep you? could not you 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 all of you and pray, lest all of you enter into temptation. The spirit (pneuma) truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words. (logos)
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 know they what to answer 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 comes the third time, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour has 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 up, let us go; lo, he that betrays me is at hand.
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judah, one of the twelve, came—and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief cohanim, the scribes, and the elders.
And immediately, while he yet spoke, comes 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.
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."
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 goes immediately to him, and says, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 They laid hands on him, and seized him.
And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the cohen hagadol, and cut off his ear.
And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and stroke a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Yeshua answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are all of you come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves 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 all of you took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 They all left him, and fled.
And they all forsook him, and fled.
51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. And they grabbed him,
And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 They led Yeshua away to the cohen hagadol. All the chief cohanim, the elders, and the scribes came together.
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him 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 cohen hagadol. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
And Peter followed him far off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 Now the chief cohanim and the whole council sought witnesses against Yeshua to put him to death, and found none.
And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness 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, but their witness agreed not together.
57 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
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.'"
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
59 Even so, their testimony did not agree.
But neither so did their witness agree together.
60 The cohen hagadol stood up in the midst, and asked Yeshua, "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, Answer you nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the cohen hagadol asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Yeshua 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 all of you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 The cohen hagadol tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and says, 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.
All of you have heard the blasphemy: what think all of you? 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 unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66 Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the cohen hagadol came,
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, 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 Yeshua of Natzeret."
And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And you also were 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 understand I what you say. 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 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 you are one of them: for you are a Galilaean, and your speech agrees 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 all of you speak.
72 And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Yeshua 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 crew. And Peter called to mind the word (rhema) that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
