Markus 14
1 Und nach zwei Tagen war Ostern und die Tage der süßen Brote. Und die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten suchten, wie sie ihn mit List griffen und töteten.
It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
2 Sie sprachen aber: Ja nicht auf das Fest, daß nicht ein Aufruhr im Volk werde!
But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
3 Und da er zu Bethanien war in Simons, des Aussätzigen, Hause und saß zu Tische, da kam ein Weib, die hatte ein Glas mit ungefälschtem und köstlichem Nardenwasser, und sie zerbrach das Glas und goß es auf sein Haupt.
Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
4 Da waren etliche, die wurden unwillig und sprachen: Was soll doch diese Vergeudung?
One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
5 Man könnte das Wasser um mehr denn dreihundert Groschen verkauft haben und es den Armen geben. Und murrten über sie.
It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
6 Jesus aber sprach: Laßt sie mit Frieden! Was bekümmert ihr sie? Sie hat ein gutes Werk an mir getan.
But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
7 Ihr habt allezeit Arme bei euch, und wenn ihr wollt, könnt ihr ihnen Gutes tun; mich aber habt ihr nicht allezeit.
You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
8 Sie hat getan, was sie konnte; sie ist zuvorgekommen, meinen Leib zu salben zu meinem Begräbnis.
[It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
9 Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wo dies Evangelium gepredigt wird in aller Welt, da wird man auch das sagen zu ihrem Gedächtnis, was sie jetzt getan hat.
I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
10 Und Judas Ischariot, einer von den Zwölfen, ging hin zu den Hohenpriestern, daß er ihn verriete.
Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
11 Da sie das hörten, wurden sie froh und verhießen, ihm Geld zu geben. Und er suchte, wie er ihn füglich verriete.
When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
12 Und am ersten Tage der süßen Brote, da man das Osterlamm opferte, sprachen seine Jünger zu ihm: Wo willst du, daß wir hingehen und bereiten, daß du das Osterlamm essest?
[Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
13 Und er sandte seiner Jünger zwei und sprach zu ihnen: Gehet hin in die Stadt, und es wird euch ein Mensch begegnen, der trägt einen Krug mit Wasser; folget ihm nach,
So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
14 und wo er eingeht, da sprechet zu dem Hauswirt: Der Meister läßt dir sagen: Wo ist das Gasthaus, darin ich das Osterlamm esse mit meinen Jüngern?
When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
15 Und er wird euch einen großen Saal zeigen, der mit Polstern versehen und bereit ist; daselbst richtet für uns zu.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
16 Und die Jünger gingen aus und kamen in die Stadt und fanden's, wie er ihnen gesagt hatte, und bereiteten das Osterlamm.
So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
17 Am Abend aber kam er mit den Zwölfen.
When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
18 Und als sie zu Tische saßen und aßen, sprach Jesus: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Einer unter euch, der mit mir isset, wird mich verraten.
As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
19 Und sie wurden traurig und sagten zu ihm, einer nach dem anderen: Bin ich's? und der andere: Bin ich's?
The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
20 Er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Einer aus den Zwölfen, der mit mir in die Schüssel taucht.
Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
21 Zwar des Menschen Sohn geht hin, wie von ihm geschrieben steht; weh aber dem Menschen, durch welchen des Menschen Sohn verraten wird. Es wäre demselben Menschen besser, daß er nie geboren wäre.
It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 Und indem sie aßen, nahm Jesus das Brot, dankte und brach's und gab's ihnen und sprach: Nehmet, esset; das ist mein Leib.
While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
23 Und nahm den Kelch, dankte und gab ihnen den; und sie tranken alle daraus.
Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
24 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Das ist mein Blut des neuen Testamentes, das für viele vergossen wird.
he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
25 Wahrlich, ich sage euch, daß ich hinfort nicht trinken werde vom Gewächs des Weinstocks bis auf den Tag, da ich's neu trinke in dem Reich Gottes.
I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
26 Und da sie den Lobgesang gesprochen hatten, gingen sie hinaus an den Ölberg.
After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
27 Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Ihr werdet euch in dieser Nacht alle an mir ärgern; denn es steht geschrieben: “Ich werde den Hirten schlagen, und die Schafe werden sich zerstreuen.”
[While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
28 Wenn ich aber auferstehe, will ich vor euch hingehen nach Galiläa.
But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
29 Petrus aber sagte zu ihm: Und wenn sie sich alle ärgerten, so wollte doch ich mich nicht ärgern.
Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
30 Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, ich sage dir: Heute, in dieser Nacht, ehe denn der Hahn zweimal kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen.
Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
31 Er aber redete noch weiter: Ja, wenn ich mit dir auch sterben müßte, wollte ich dich doch nicht verleugnen. Desgleichen sagten sie alle.
But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
32 Und sie kamen zu einem Hofe mit Namen Gethsemane. Und er sprach zu seinen Jüngern: Setzet euch hier, bis ich hingehe und bete.
[On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
33 Und nahm Petrus und Jakobus und Johannes und fing an, zu zittern und zu zagen.
Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
34 Und sprach zu ihnen: Meine Seele ist betrübt bis an den Tod; bleibet hier und wachet!
“I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
35 Und ging ein wenig weiter, fiel auf die Erde und betete, daß, wenn es möglich wäre, die Stunde vorüberginge,
He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
36 und sprach: Abba, mein Vater, es ist dir alles möglich; überhebe mich dieses Kelchs; doch nicht, was ich will, sondern was du willst!
He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
37 Und kam und fand sie schlafend und sprach zu Petrus: Simon, schläfst du? Vermochtest du nicht eine Stunde zu wachen?
Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
38 Wachet und betet, daß ihr nicht in Versuchung fallet! Der Geist ist willig; aber das Fleisch ist schwach.
[And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
39 Und ging wieder hin und betete und sprach dieselben Worte.
Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
40 Und kam wieder und fand sie abermals schlafend; denn ihre Augen waren voll Schlafs, und sie wußten nicht, was sie ihm antworteten.
When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
41 Und er kam zum drittenmal und sprach zu ihnen: Ach, wollt ihr nun schlafen und ruhen? Es ist genug; die Stunde ist gekommen. Siehe, des Menschen Sohn wird überantwortet in der Sünder Hände.
[Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
42 Stehet auf, laßt uns gehen. Siehe, der mich verrät, ist nahe!
[So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
43 Und alsbald, da er noch redete, kam herzu Judas, der Zwölf einer, und eine große Schar mit ihm, mit Schwertern und mit Stangen von den Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten und Ältesten.
While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
44 Und der Verräter hatte ihnen ein Zeichen gegeben und gesagt: Welchen ich küssen werde, der ist's; den greifet und führet ihn sicher.
[Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
45 Und da er kam, trat er alsbald zu ihm und sprach zu ihm: Rabbi, Rabbi! und küßte ihn.
So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
46 Die aber legten ihre Hände an ihn und griffen ihn.
Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
47 Einer aber von denen, die dabeistanden, zog sein Schwert aus und schlug des Hohenpriesters Knecht und hieb ihm ein Ohr ab.
But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
48 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Ihr seid ausgegangen wie zu einem Mörder mit Schwertern und Stangen, mich zu fangen.
Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
49 Ich bin täglich bei euch im Tempel gewesen und habe gelehrt, und ihr habt mich nicht gegriffen, aber auf daß die Schrift erfüllt werde.
50 Und die Jünger verließen ihn alle und flohen.
All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
51 Und es war ein Jüngling, der folgte ihm nach, der war mit Leinwand bekleidet auf der bloßen Haut; und die Jünglinge griffen ihn.
At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
52 Er aber ließ die Leinwand fahren und floh bloß von ihnen.
But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
53 Und sie führten Jesus zu dem Hohenpriester, dahin zusammengekommen waren alle Hohenpriester und Ältesten und Schriftgelehrten.
The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
54 Petrus aber folgte ihm nach von ferne bis hinein in des Hohenpriesters Palast; und er war da und saß bei den Knechten und wärmte sich bei dem Licht.
Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
55 Aber die Hohenpriester und der ganze Rat suchten Zeugnis wider Jesum, auf daß sie ihn zum Tode brächten, und fanden nichts.
The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
56 Viele gaben falsch Zeugnis wider ihn; aber ihr Zeugnis stimmte nicht überein.
because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
57 Und etliche standen auf und gaben falsch Zeugnis wider ihn und sprachen:
[Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
58 Wir haben gehört, daß er sagte: Ich will den Tempel, der mit Händen gemacht ist, abbrechen und in drei Tagen einen anderen bauen, der nicht mit Händen gemacht sei.
“We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
59 Aber ihr Zeugnis stimmte noch nicht überein.
But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
60 Und der Hohepriester stand auf, trat mitten unter sie und fragte Jesum und sprach: Antwortest du nichts zu dem, was diese wider dich zeugen?
Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
61 Er aber schwieg still und antwortete nichts. Da fragte ihn der Hohepriester abermals und sprach zu ihm: Bist du Christus, der Sohn des Hochgelobten?
But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
62 Jesus aber sprach: Ich bin's; und ihr werdet sehen des Menschen Sohn sitzen zur rechten Hand der Kraft und kommen mit des Himmels Wolken.
Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
63 Da zerriß der Hohepriester seinen Rock und sprach: Was bedürfen wir weiter Zeugen?
[In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
64 Ihr habt gehört die Gotteslästerung. Was dünkt euch? Sie aber verdammten ihn alle, daß er des Todes schuldig wäre.
[because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
65 Da fingen an etliche, ihn zu verspeien und zu verdecken sein Angesicht und ihn mit Fäusten zu schlagen und zu ihm zu sagen: Weissage uns! Und die Knechte schlugen ihn ins Angesicht.
Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
66 Und Petrus war unten im Hof. Da kam eine von des Hohenpriesters Mägden;
While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
67 und da sie sah Petrus sich wärmen, schaute sie ihn an und sprach: Und du warst auch mit Jesus von Nazareth.
When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
68 Er leugnete aber und sprach: Ich kenne ihn nicht, weiß auch nicht, was du sagst. Und er ging hinaus in den Vorhof; und der Hahn krähte.
But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
69 Und die Magd sah ihn und hob abermals an, zu sagen denen, die dabeistanden: Dieser ist deren einer.
[The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
70 Und er leugnete abermals. Und nach einer kleinen Weile sprachen abermals zu Petrus, die dabeistanden: Wahrlich, du bist deren einer; denn du bist ein Galiläer, und deine Sprache lautet gleich also.
But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
71 Er aber fing an, sich zu verfluchen und zu schwören: Ich kenne den Menschen nicht, von dem ihr sagt.
But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
72 Und der Hahn krähte zum andernmal. Da gedachte Petrus an das Wort, das Jesus zu ihm sagte: Ehe der Hahn zweimal kräht, wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen. Und er hob an, zu weinen.
Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
