Mark 14
1 Now it was the Passover and the Unleavened [cakes], after two days. And the High-priests and Scribes were seeking, how, with guile, they might secure, and lay 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 were saying—Not in the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down [the perfume], upon 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 much displeased among themselves—To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with 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—Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble all of you her? she has wrought a good work on me.
7 For, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, [at any time] do well! But, me, not, always, have ye.
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 What she had, she used, —She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;
She has done what she could: she has come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 And, verily, say unto you—Wheresoever the glad-message shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world, —also what she did, will be told 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 And, Judas Iscariot, who was one of he twelve, went away unto the High-priests, that, him, he might deliver up unto them.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
11 Now, when they heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him, silver; and he was seeking how, at a favourable opportunity, he might, deliver him up.
And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And, on the first day of the unleavened cakes, when, the passover, they were slaying, his disciples say unto him—Where wilt thou, we depart and make ready, that thou mayest 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 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them—Go your way into the city, and there will meet you a man, a jar of water, bearing, —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, wheresoever he shall enter, say ye unto the householder—The teacher, saith, Where is my lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
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 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper-room, spread ready, and, there, make ye ready for us.
And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found, according as he had said unto them, —and they made ready 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 And, when evening arrived, he cometh, with the twelve.
And in the evening he comes with the twelve.
18 And, as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said—Verily, I say unto you—One from among you, will deliver me up, he that is eating 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 They began to be grieved, and to be saying unto him, one by one, —Can it be, 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 And, he, said unto them—One of the twelve, he that is dipping with me into the [one] bowl:
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
21 Because, the Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, —according as it is written concerning him; but alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man is being delivered up, —Well for him, if that man, 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 And, as they were eating, taking a loaf, he blessed and brake, and gave unto 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 And, taking a cup, he offered thanks, and gave unto them; and 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 And he said unto them—This, is, my blood of the covenant, that is to be poured out in behalf of many.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Verily, I say unto you—No more, will I in anywise drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall be drinking it new, 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 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus saith unto them—Ye, all, will find cause of stumbling, because it is written, —I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep, will be scattered abroad;
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 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 And, Peter, said unto him—Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly not, I.
But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
30 And Jesus saith unto him—Verily, I say unto thee, thou, this day, in this night, before that twice a cock crow, thrice, will deny me.
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, most vehemently, was saying—Even though I must needs die with thee, in nowise, will I, deny thee. Likewise, indeed, were, all besides, saying.
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 And they come into an estate the name of which is Gethsemane, and he saith unto his disciples—Sit ye 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 And he taketh Peter and James and John with him, and began to be exceedingly amazed, and in great distress;
And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 and he saith unto them—Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.
And says unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry all of you here, and watch.
35 And, going forward a little, he fell upon the ground, and was praying that, if it were possible, the hour might pass 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 and was saying—Abba! O Father! All things, are possible to thee: Bear aside this cup from me; but not what, I, will, but what, thou, [wilt].
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 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter—Simon! art thou sleeping? Hadst thou not strength, one hour, to watch?
And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says unto Peter, Simon, sleep you? could not you watch one hour?
38 Be watching and praying, that ye enter not into temptation: the, spirit, indeed, is willing, but, the flesh, 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 And, again, departing, he prayed, [the same thing, saying].
And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words. (logos)
40 And, again, coming, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were being, weighed down, —and they knew not 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 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them—Ye are sleeping the remaining time and taking your rest: —It is enough! the hour hath come! Lo! the Son of Man is being delivered up 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 Be rousing yourselves, let us be leading on! Lo! he that is delivering me up, hath drawn near.
Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrays me is at hand.
43 And, straightway, while yet he is speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, cometh near, and, with him, a multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and 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 He that is delivering him up hath given an agreed sign unto them, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is! Secure him, and be leading 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 And, coming, straightway, stepping forward to him, he saith—Rabbi! and openly kissed him.
And as soon as he was come, he goes immediately to him, and says, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 And, they, thrust their hands on him, and secured him.
And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
47 [A certain] one of the by-standers, drawing a sword, smote the servant of the High priest, and took 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 And Jesus, answering, said unto them—As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest 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 Daily, was I with you, in the temple, teaching; and ye secured me not. But, that, the Scriptures, may 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 And they, all, forsook, him, and fled.
And they all forsook him, and fled.
51 And, a certain young man, was following with him, having cast about himself a fine Indian cloth, over his naked body, —and they are securing 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, leaving behind the cloth, fled naked.
And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 And they led away Jesus unto the High-priest; and all the High-priests and the Elders and the Scribes gather 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 And, Peter, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High-priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light.
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 High-priest, and all the High-council, were seeking, against Jesus, testimony, with the intent to put him to death, —and were not finding any;
And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
56 for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed.
For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
57 And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying—
And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58 We, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise.
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 And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.
But neither so did their witness agree together.
60 And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying—Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing?
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, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High-priest was questioning him, and saith unto him—Art, thou, the Christ the Son of the Blessed?
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 Jesus said—I, am; and ye shall see the Son of Man—sitting, on the right hand, of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
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 And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith—What, further, need have we, of witnesses?
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and says, What need we any further witnesses?
64 Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And 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 And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him—Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took 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 And, Peter, being, below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the High-priest;
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there comes one of the maids of the high priest:
67 and, seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, saith—And, thou, wast, with the Nazarene—with Jesus.
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, saying—I neither know [him], nor do I well understand what, thou, sayest; and went out into the porch.
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 maid-servant, seeing him, began, again, to be saying unto the by-standers—This one, is, from among 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, was denying. And, after a little again, the by-standers, were saying unto Peter—Truly, thou, art, from among them; for thou art, a Galilaean, also.
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 And, he, began to be cursing and swearing—I know not this man, of whom ye are speaking!
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom all of you speak.
72 And, straightway, a second time, a cock, crowed; and Peter was reminded of the declaration, how Jesus had said to him—Before a cock, twice, crow, thrice, wilt thou deny me. And, when he thought thereon, he began to weep.
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.
