Mark 14
NASB
Mark 14:1
&
Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill {Him;}
Mark 14:2
&
for they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people."
Mark 14:3
&
While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining {at the table,} there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; {and} she broke the vial and poured it over His head.
Mark 14:4
&
But some were indignantly {remarking} to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?
Mark 14:5
&
~"For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred (The denarius was equivalent to a day's wages) denarii, and {the money} given to the poor." And they were scolding her.
Mark 14:6
&
But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.
Mark 14:7
&
~"For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.
Mark 14:8
&
~"She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
Mark 14:9
&
~"Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."
Mark 14:10
&
Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.
Mark 14:11
&
They were glad when they heard {this,} and promised to give him money. And he {began} seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.
Mark 14:12
&
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover {lamb} was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
Mark 14:13
&
And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;
Mark 14:14
&
and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, `The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'
Mark 14:15
&
~"And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished {and} ready; prepare for us there."
Mark 14:16
&
The disciples went out and came to the city, and found {it} just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
Mark 14:17
&
When it was evening He *came with the twelve.
Mark 14:18
&
As they were reclining {at the table} and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."
Mark 14:19
&
They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"
Mark 14:20
&
And He said to them, "{It is} one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.
Mark 14:21
&
~"For the Son of Man {is to} go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! {It would have been} good for that man if he had not been born."
Mark 14:22
&
While they were eating, He took {some} bread, and after a blessing He broke {it,} and gave {it} to them, and said, "Take {it;} this is My body."
Mark 14:23
&
And when He had taken a cup {and} given thanks, He gave {it} to them, and they all drank from it.
Mark 14:24
&
And He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Mark 14:25
&
~"Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
Mark 14:26
&
After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mark 14:27
&
And Jesus *said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, `I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'
Mark 14:28
&
~"But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
Mark 14:29
&
But Peter said to Him, "{Even} though all may fall away, yet I will not."
Mark 14:30
&
And Jesus *said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."
Mark 14:31
&
But {Peter} kept saying insistently, "{Even} if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.
Mark 14:32
&
They *came to a place named Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed."
Mark 14:33
&
And He *took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.
Mark 14:34
&
And He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch."
Mark 14:35
&
And He went a little beyond {them,} and fell to the ground and {began} to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.
Mark 14:36
&
And He was saying, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will."
Mark 14:37
&
And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?
Mark 14:38
&
~"Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Mark 14:39
&
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Mark 14:40
&
And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
Mark 14:41
&
And He *came the third time, and *said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mark 14:42
&
~"Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"
Mark 14:43
&
Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, *came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, {who were} from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Mark 14:44
&
Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."
Mark 14:45
&
After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
Mark 14:46
&
They laid hands on Him and seized Him.
Mark 14:47
&
But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Mark 14:48
&
And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as {you would} against a robber?
Mark 14:49
&
~"Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but {this has taken place} to fulfill the Scriptures."
Mark 14:52
&
But he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.
Mark 14:53
&
They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes *gathered together.
Mark 14:54
&
Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.
Mark 14:55
&
Now the chief priests and the whole (Or {Sanhedrin}) Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.
Mark 14:56
&
For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.
Mark 14:57
&
Some stood up and {began} to give false testimony against Him, saying,
Mark 14:58
&
"We heard Him say, `I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands."'
Mark 14:59
&
Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.
Mark 14:60
&
The high priest stood up {and came} forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"
Mark 14:61
&
But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed {One?}"
Mark 14:62
&
And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."
Mark 14:63
&
Tearing his clothes, the high priest *said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?
Mark 14:64
&
~"You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
Mark 14:65
&
Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps {in the face.}
Mark 14:66
&
As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came,
Mark 14:67
&
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene."
Mark 14:68
&
But he denied {it,} saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are talking about." And he went out onto the porch.(Later mss add {and a rooster crowed})
Mark 14:69
&
The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is {one} of them!"
Mark 14:70
&
But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, "Surely you are {one} of them, for you are a Galilean too."
Mark 14:71
&
But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"
Mark 14:72
&
Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.
