< 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 dayes folowed ester and the dayes of swete breed. And the hye prestes and the Scrybes sought meanes how they myght take hym by crafte and put him to deeth.
2 for they were saying—Not in the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.
But they sayde: not in the feast daye leest eny busynes aryse amonge 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.
When he was in Bethania in the housse of Simon the leper even as he sate at meate ther came a woma hauynge an alablaster boxe of oyntment called narde that was pure and costly: and she brake the boxe and powred it on is heed.
4 But there were some much displeased among themselves—To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
And ther were some that were not content in them selves and sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment?
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 myght have bene soolde for more then thre hundred pens and bene geve vnto the poore. And they grudged agaynste hir.
6 But, Jesus, said—Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;
And Iesus sayde: let hir be in reest why trouble ye hir? She hath done a good worke 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 ye shall have poore with you all wayes: and when soever ye will ye maye do them good: but me ye shall not have alwayes.
8 What she had, she used, —She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;
She hath done that she coulde: she came a fore honde to anoynt my boddy to his buryinge warde.
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.
Verely I saye vnto you: wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached thorowout the whole worlde: thys also that she hath done shalbe rehearsed in remembraunce 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 Iudas Iscarioth one of the twelve went awaye vnto the hye prestes to betraye hym vnto 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.
When they herde that they were gladde and promised yt they wolde geve him money. And he sought howe he myght conveniently betraye 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 fyrste daye of swete breed when men offer ye pascall lambe his disciples sayd vnto him: where wilt thou that we goo and prepare that thou mayst eate the ester lambe?
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 sent forth two of his disciples and sayde vnto them: Goo ye into the cyte and ther shall a man mete you beringe a pitcher of water folowe 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 whither soever he goeth in saye ye to ye good man of ye housse: the master axeth where is the geest chambre where I shall eate ye ester lambe 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 shewe you a greate parlour paved and prepared: there make ready for vs.
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 to the cyte and founde as he had sayd vnto them: and made ready the ester lambe.
17 And, when evening arrived, he cometh, with the twelve.
And at even he came with the. xii.
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 sate at borde and ate Iesus sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: that one of you shall betraye me which eateth with me.
19 They began to be grieved, and to be saying unto him, one by one, —Can it be, I?
And they begane to morne and to saye to him one by one: ys it I? And a nother sayde: ys it I?
20 And, he, said unto them—One of the twelve, he that is dipping with me into the [one] bowl:
He answered and sayde vnto them: It ys one of the. xii. and the same deppeth with me in the platter.
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 sonne of man goeth as it ys written of him: but woo be to that man by whome the sonne of man is betrayed. Good were it for him if that man had never bene borne.
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 ate Iesus toke breede blessed and brake and gave to them and sayde: Take eate this ys my body.
23 And, taking a cup, he offered thanks, and gave unto them; and they, all, drank of it.
And he toke the cup gave thankes and gave it to them and they all dranke 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 sayde vnto them: This is my bloude of the new testament which is sheed 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.
Verely I saye vnto you: I will drinke no moore of this frute of the vyne vntyll that daye that I drinke it new in the kyngdome of God.
26 And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
And when they had sayd grace they went out to mount Olyvete.
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 Iesus sayde vnto them: All ye shalbe offended thorow me this nyght. For it is wrytte: I will smyte ye shepeherd and the shepe shalbe scattered.
28 But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
But after that I am rysen agayne I will goo into Galile before you.
29 And, Peter, said unto him—Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly not, I.
Peter sayde vnto him: And though all men shuld be offended yet wolde 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 Iesus sayd vnto him: Verely I saye vnto ye this daye even in this nyght before ye cocke crowe twyse thou shalt denye me thryse.
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.
And he spake boldlyer: no yf I shulde dye wt the I will not deny the. Lyke wyse also sayd 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 into a place named Gethsemani. And he sayde to his disciples: Syt ye here whyll I goo aparte and praye.
33 And he taketh Peter and James and John with him, and began to be exceedingly amazed, and in great distress;
And he toke with him Peter Iames and Iohn and he began to waxe abasshed and to be in an agonye
34 and he saith unto them—Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.
and sayde vnto the: My soule is very hevy even vnto the deeth tary here and watche.
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 forth a lytle and fell doune on ye grounde and prayed: that yf it were possible the houre myght passe 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 sayd: Abba father all thinges are possible vnto the take awaye this cup from me. Neverthelesse not that I will but that thou wilt be done.
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 cam and founde the slepinge and sayd to Peter: Simon slepest thou? Couldest not thou watche with me one houre?
38 Be watching and praying, that ye enter not into temptation: the, spirit, indeed, is willing, but, the flesh, weak.
watche ye and praye leest ye entre into temptacion: ye sprete is redy but ye flessh is weeke.
39 And, again, departing, he prayed, [the same thing, saying].
And agayne he went awaye and prayde and spake ye same wordes.
40 And, again, coming, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were being, weighed down, —and they knew not what to answer him.
And he returned and founde them a slepe agayne for their eyes were hevy: nether wist they what to answere 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 cam the thyrde tyme and sayd vnto the: slepe hens forth and take youre ease it is ynough. The houre is come beholde ye sonne of man shalbe delyvered into ye hondes of synners.
42 Be rousing yourselves, let us be leading on! Lo! he that is delivering me up, hath drawn near.
Ryse vp let vs goo. Loo he that betrayeth me is at hande.
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 immediatly whyll he yet spake came Iudas one of the twelve and with him a greate nomber of people with sweardes and staves from the hye prestes and scribes and 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 geven them a generall toke sayinge: whosoever I do kisse he it is: take him and leade him awaye warely.
45 And, coming, straightway, stepping forward to him, he saith—Rabbi! and openly kissed him.
And assone as he was come he went streyght waye to him and sayd vnto him: master master and kissed him.
46 And, they, thrust their hands on him, and secured him.
And they layde their hondes on him and toke 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 stode by drue out a swearde and smote a servaunt of the hye preste and cut of his eare.
48 And Jesus, answering, said unto them—As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me?
And Iesus answered and sayd vnto the: ye be come out as vnto a thefe wt sweardes and with staves for 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 dayly with you in ye temple teachinge and ye toke me not: but yt the scriptures shuld be fulfilled.
50 And they, all, forsook, him, and fled.
And they all forsoke him and ranne awaye.
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 ther folowed him a certeyne yonge man cloothed in lynnen apon ye bare and the yongemen caught him
52 but, he, leaving behind the cloth, fled naked.
and he lefte his lynnen and fleed 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 leed Iesus awaye to ye hyest preste of all and to him came all the hye prestes 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 folowed him a greate waye of even into the pallys of the hye preste and sat with the servauntes and warmed him sylfe at the fyre.
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 hye prestes and all ye counsell sought for witnes agaynste Iesu to put him to death and founde noone.
56 for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed.
Yet many bare falce witnes agaynste him but their witnes aggreed not to geder.
57 And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying—
And ther aroose certayne and brought falce witnes agaynste him sayinge.
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 herde him saye: I will destroye this temple made with hondes and with in thre dayes I will bylde another made with out hondes.
59 And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.
But their witnes agreed not to geder.
60 And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying—Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing?
And the hyeste preste stode up amongest them and axed Iesus sayinge: answerest thou nothinge? How is it that these beare witnes agaynst the?
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?
And he helde his peace and answered noothinge. Agayne the hyeste Preste axed him and sayde vnto him: Arte thou Christ the sonne 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 Iesus sayde: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man syt on the ryght honde of power and come in the cloudes of heven.
63 And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith—What, further, need have we, of witnesses?
Then the hyest preste rent his cloothes and sayd: what nede we eny further of witnes?
64 Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, of, death.
Ye have herde the blasphemy what thinke ye? And they all gave sentence yt he was worthy of deeth.
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 begane to spit at him and to cover his face and to bete him with fistes and to saye vnto him arede vnto vs. And the servauntes boffeted him on the face.
66 And, Peter, being, below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the High-priest;
And as Peter was beneeth in ye pallys ther came one of ye weches of ye hyest preste:
67 and, seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, saith—And, thou, wast, with the Nazarene—with Jesus.
and whe she saw Petre warmynge him sylfe she loked on him and sayd: wast not thou also wt Iesus 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.
And he denyed it sayinge: I knowe him not nether wot I what thou sayest. And he went out into ye poorche and the cocke crewe.
69 And, the maid-servant, seeing him, began, again, to be saying unto the by-standers—This one, is, from among them.
And a damsell sawe him and agayne beganne to saye to the that stode by this is one of the.
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 denyed it agayne. And anone after they that stode by sayde agayne to Peter: suerly thou arte one of the for thou arte of Galile and thy speache agreth therto.
71 And, he, began to be cursing and swearing—I know not this man, of whom ye are speaking!
And he beganne to cursse and to sweare sayinge: I knowe not this man of whom ye speake.
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 agayne the cocke krewe and Peter remembred the worde that Iesus sayd vnto him: before the cocke crowe twyse thou shalt deny me thryse and beganne to wepe.
