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;
It was now two days before the festival of the Pesac ·Passover· (Nissan 12), also called the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·, and the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.
2 for they were saying—Not in the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.
For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot 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.
While he was at Bethany [House of affliction], in the house of Simeon [Hearing] the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard— very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.
4 But there were some much displeased among themselves—To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
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 this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii (300 days wages), and given to the poor.” They grumbled against her.
6 But, Jesus, said—Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;
But Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for 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 you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
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 anointed my body beforehand for 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.
Most certainly 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.”
10 And, Judas Iscariot, who was one of he twelve, went away unto the High-priests, that, him, he might deliver up unto them.
Judas Iscariot [Praised Dagger-man], who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to 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.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver 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?
On the first day of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· (Nissan 14), when they sacrificed the Pesac ·Passover· lamb, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare your Seder ·Order / Passover meal·?”
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;
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,
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 wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Rabbi ·Teacher· says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Pesac ·Passover· with my disciples?”’
15 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper-room, spread ready, and, there, make ye ready for us.
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
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.
His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Seder · Order / Passover meal·.
17 And, when evening arrived, he cometh, with the twelve.
When it was evening he came 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.
As they sat and were eating, Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me— he who eats with me.”
19 They began to be grieved, and to be saying unto him, one by one, —Can it be, I?
They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
20 And, he, said unto them—One of the twelve, he that is dipping with me into the [one] bowl:
He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips matzah ·unleavened bread· with me in the dish (of bitter herbs).
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!
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.”
22 And, as they were eating, taking a loaf, he blessed and brake, and gave unto them, and said—Take! this, is, my body;
As they were eating, Yeshua [Salvation] took matzah ·unleavened bread·, and when he had blessed, he broke 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.
He took the (third) cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. 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.
He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which is poured out 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.
Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
26 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to 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;
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “All of you will be made to be scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant· because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee [District, Circuit].”
29 And, Peter, said unto him—Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly not, I.
But Peter [Rock] said to him, “Although all will feel scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, yet I will not.”
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.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will 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 all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
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.
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane [Olive oil press]. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”
33 And he taketh Peter and James and John with him, and began to be exceedingly amazed, and in great distress;
He took with him Peter [Rock], James [Surplanter], and John [Yah is gracious], and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 and he saith unto them—Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.
He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay 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;
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away 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].
He said, “Abba, Dear Dad, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter—Simon! art thou sleeping? Hadst thou not strength, one hour, to watch?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter [Rock], “Simeon [Hearing], are you sleeping? Couldn’t 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 and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 And, again, departing, he prayed, [the same thing, saying].
Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
40 And, again, coming, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were being, weighed down, —and they knew not what to answer him.
Again he teshuvah ·completely returned·, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn’t know 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.
He came the third time, and said to 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 ·devoted to missing the mark and without share in the goal·.
42 Be rousing yourselves, let us be leading on! Lo! he that is delivering me up, hath drawn near.
Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who 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.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas [Praised], one of the twelve, came— and with him a multitude with machairon ·machetes, small sword knives· and clubs, from the chief priests, the Torah-Teachers, 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.
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will phileo ·affectionate love, kiss·, he is the one. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45 And, coming, straightway, stepping forward to him, he saith—Rabbi! and openly kissed him.
When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi, Rabbi! ·Teacher, Teacher·!” and kissed him.
46 And, they, thrust their hands on him, and secured him.
They laid their hands on him, and seized him.
47 [A certain] one of the by-standers, drawing a sword, smote the servant of the High priest, and took off his, ear.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his machaira ·machete, small sword knife·, and struck the 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?
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with machairon ·machetes, small sword knives· and clubs to seize 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 you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50 And they, all, forsook, him, and fled.
They all left 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;
A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52 but, he, leaving behind the cloth, fled naked.
but 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.
They led Yeshua [Salvation] away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the Torah-Teachers came together with him.
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.
Peter [Rock] 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.
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;
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Yeshua [Salvation] 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 gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57 And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying—
Some stood up, and gave false testimony 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 in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59 And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.
Even so, their testimony did not agree.
60 And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying—Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing?
The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Yeshua [Salvation], “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify 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 stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah [Anointed one], 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)]. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
63 And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith—What, further, need have we, of witnesses?
The high priest tore his clothes, and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
64 Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, of, death.
You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy 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.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck 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;
As Peter [Rock] was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
67 and, seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, saith—And, thou, wast, with the Nazarene—with Jesus.
and seeing Peter [Rock] warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene [person from Branch, Separated one], Yeshua [Salvation]!”
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 it, saying, “I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 And, the maid-servant, seeing him, began, again, to be saying unto the by-standers—This one, is, from among them.
The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who 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.
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter [Rock], “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
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, “I don’t know this man of whom 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.
The rooster crowed the second time. Peter [Rock] remembered the word, how that Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
