Markos 14
14
1Now it was two days before Pesach, the Chag HaMatzot. And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might by ormah (cunning) do away with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
2For they were saying, Not at the Chag, for fear that a riot break out among the am haaretz.
3And he was in Beit-Anyah at the bais of Shim'on the leper, reclining at tish, and an isha (woman) came, having an alabaster flask of costly perfume, pure nard, and having broken open the alabaster flask, she poured [it on] the head of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
4Now some were there who in ka'as (anger) said to one another, For what reason has this waste of ointment taken place?
5For this was able to be sold for more than three hundred denarii and to be given to the aniyim. And they were reproaching her.
6But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Leave her alone. Why are you bringing about difficulty for the isha? Has she not performed one of the Gemilut Chasadim on me?
7For always the aniyim you have with you, and when you wish you are able to do ma'asim tovim for them, but me you do not always have.#14:7 Dt 15:11
8With what she had she did all she could. She prepared ahead of time to anoint my basar for the kevurah (burial).#14:8 Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:9
9And, omein, I say to you, wherever the Besuras HaGeulah is proclaimed in kol haaretz, also what this isha did will be spoken in her memory.
10And Yehudah from K'riot, one of the Shneym Asar, went to the Rashei Hakohanim in order that he might betray him to them.
11And there was chedvah (joy, gaiety, rejoicing) with the ones having heard and they gave the havtachah (promise) of a matnat kesef (gift of money) to Yehudah. And he was seeking how he might conveniently betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
12And at the rishon of the Chag HaMatzot, when it was customary to prepare the Pesach Korban for mo'ed zevach, his talmidim say to him, Where do you wish us to go and make the preparations for you to conduct the Seder?#14:12 Ex 12:1-11; Dt 16:1-4
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sends two of his talmidim and he says to them, Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jar of water; follow him;
14And wherever he enters, tell the Baal Bayit that the Rebbe says, Where is my mekom linah where I can conduct the Pesach Seder with my talmidim?
15And he will show you a large aliyyah having been furnished and ready. And there prepare for us.
16And the talmidim went out and they came into the city and found things just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them, and they made preparations for Pesach.
17And erev having come, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach arrives with the Shneym Asar.
18And while they were at tish in a yechidus, reclining and eating, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Omein, I say to you, that one of you will betray me, OKHEL LACHEMI (the one eating my bread).#14:18 Ps 41:9 [10]
19They began to have agmat nefesh (grief), and, one by one, to say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Surely I am not the one?
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is one of the Shneym Asar, the one dipping with me into the bowl.#14:20 Ex 12:8; Ps 41:9 [10]
21For the Bar Enosh#14:21 Moshiach, Dan 7:13 14 goes just as it has been written concerning him,#14:21 Isa 53:3; Dan 9:26; Zech 12:10 but woe to that man through whom the Bar Enosh is betrayed. [It would have been] better for him if that man had not been born.
22And at#14:22 Moshiachʼs Seudah, while they were eating, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having taken the matzah, having made the HaMotzi, broke the middle matzah, giving the afikoman to Moshiachʼs talmidim, and said, Take and eat, this is my BASAR.#14:22 Ex 12:8
23And having taken the Cup of Redemption [and] having made the bracha, he gave it to Moshiachʼs talmidim, and everyone drank of it.
24And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, HINEI DAHM HABRIT,#14:24 Ex 24:8 the dahm of me,#14:24 Moshiach, see Isa 53:7 which is being poured out lama'an RABBIM#14:24 Isa 53:11 (for the sake of MANY).
25Omein, I say to you, that no longer will I by any means drink of the p'ri hagefen (fruit of the vine) until Yom HaHu when I drink it chadash (new) in the Malchut Hashem.
26And having sung the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, All of you will fall away, for it has been written, I will strike down ES HAROEH UTEFUTEN HATZON (the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered).#14:27 Zech 13:7
28But after I am made to stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMoshiach, I will go before you into the Galil.
29But Shim'on Kefa said to him, Even if everyone will fall away, yet I will not.
30And he says to him, Omein, I say to you, that you today, balailah hazeh (during this night) before the tarnegol crows twice, you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me shalosh pe'amim (three times).
31But Kefa kept saying with vehemence, If it is necessary for me to die al kiddush ha-Shem for you, by no means will I make hakhchashah of you. And so also everyone declared.
32And they come to a place of which the name [was] Gat-Shmanim and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to his talmidim, Sit down here while I daven.
33And he takes Kefa and Ya'akov and Yochanan with him and he began to be distressed and to be troubled.
34And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My agmat nefesh (grief) is great, even to the point of mavet (death). Remain here and stay awake and shomer (on guard).
35And having gone forth a little, he was falling on the ground and was davening that, if it is possible, this shaah (hour) might pass from him.
36And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, Abba, Avi, all things [are] possible for you. Take away this KOS#14:36 Isa 51:17; 53:12 from me. But not what I will, but what you [will].
37And he comes and finds them sleeping, and he says to Shim'on Kefa, Are you sleeping? Did you not have chozek (strength) to stay awake one hour?
38Stay shomer and daven that you may not enter into nisayon (trial, temptation). Indeed the ruach ready but the basar [is] weak.
39And again he went away and davened the same devarim (words) as before.#14:39 14:36
40And once again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were falling shut, and they did not have daas of what they might answer him.
41And he comes the shlishit (third) time and says to them, Sleep [for] the remainder and take your rest. It is enough. The shaah (hour) has come. Hinei, the Bar Enosh#14:41 Moshiach is betrayed into the hands of chote'im (sinners).
42Get up, let us go. Hinei, the one betraying me has drawn near.
43And, ofen ort, bishas maise (at the same time) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is speaking, Yehudah arrives, one of the Shneym Asar, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs with Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim and the Zekenim.
44Now the one betraying Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had given a signal to them, saying, Whomever I may give the neshikah (kiss), he is [the one], chap (seize) him! And lead [him] away under guard.
45And when he came, he ofen ort approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and says, Rebbe. And he gave him the neshikah (kiss).
46And they laid their hands on Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and arrested him.
47But one of those standing by drew his cherev and struck the servant of the Kohen Gadol and cut off his ear.
48And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, Do you come out with swords and clubs as against a shoded (robber) to arrest me?
49Every day I was with you in the Beis HaMikdash teaching Torah and you did not arrest me; but let the Kitvei Hakodesh be fulfilled.#14:49 Isa 53:7-12
50And, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, everyone fled.
51And a certain bocher was following along with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and the bocher was wearing nothing but a linen garment around his naked body, and they seized the bocher.
52But the bocher ran away naked, leaving the linen garment behind.
53And they led away Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Kohen Gadol. And all the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim and the Sofrim were assembled.
54And Shim'on Kefa from a distance followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach right into the courtyard of the Kohen Gadol. And Kefa was sitting together with the servants and warming himself near the ohr of the hadlakah (bonfire).
55And the Rashei Hakohanim and [the] whole Sanhedrin were seeking edut against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in order to have him under the onesh mavet, and they were not finding any.
56For many gave edut sheker against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and the eduyot were not in agreement.
57And some, taking the stand, were giving edut sheker (false testimony) against him:
58We heard him saying, I will bring churban to this Beis HaMikdash made with human hands, and, after shlosha yamim, another, not made with hands, I will build.
59So their eduyot were not in agreement.
60And having stood up in their midst, the Kohen Gadol questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Do you not answer anything to what these bear solemn edut (testimony) against you?
61But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was silent and did not answer anything.#14:61 Isa 53:7-8 Again the Kohen Gadol was questioning him and says to him, Are you the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, HaBen Hamevorakh?
62And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Ani hu, and you will see the BAR ENOSH#14:62 Dan 7:13-14 YOSHEV LIMIN HaGevurah#14:62 Ps 110:1 UVA IM ANENEI HASHOMAYIM (the Bar Enosh [Moshiach] sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven).
63And the Kohen Gadol, making the keriah (ritual tearing) of his tunic, says, What further need do we have of edim (witnesses)?#14:63 Lv 10:6; 21:10; 24:16; Num 14:6
64You heard him commit Chillul Hashem gidduf (blasphemy). How does it seem to you? And they all condemned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to be deserving of mishpat mavet.#14:64 Lv 24:16
65And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him and to say to him, Letʼs hear a dvar nevuah (word of prophecy)! And the shomrim (guards) took custody of him by slapping Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
66And Shim'on Kefa being below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the Kohen Gadol comes by.
67And having seen Kefa warming himself, having looked him over, she says, You also were with the one from Natzeret, Yehoshua!
68But he denied [it], saying, I do not have daas (knowledge) or binah (understanding) of what you are saying. And he walked away and went outside into the entryway. And a tarnegol crowed.
69And the maid, having seen him, began again to say to the ones standing by, This is one of them!
70But again he made hakhchashah (denial). And after a little [while], again the ones having stood by were saying to Kefa, You are one of them, for indeed you are a Gelili (inhabitant of the Galil).
71And Kefa began to speak a klalah (curse) and to swear, I do not have daas of this man I don't know the one of whom you speak!
72And ofen ort for a second time, a tarnegol crowed. And then Kefa remembered the dvar that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had spoken to him, Before a tarnegol crows twice, shalosh pe'amim (three times) you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me.#14:72 Mk 14:30 And having broken down, Kefa was weeping.

Mark 14
14
A plot to kill Jesus
(Matthew 26.1-5; Luke 22.1,2; John 11.45-53)
1It was now two days before Passover and the Festival of Thin Bread. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were secretly planning to have Jesus arrested and put to death.#Ex 12.1-27. 2They were saying, “We must not do it during the festival, because the people will riot.”
At Bethany
(Matthew 26.6-13; John 12.1-8)
3Jesus was eating in Bethany at the home of Simon, who once had leprosy,#14.3 leprosy: In biblical times the word “leprosy” was used for many different skin diseases. when a woman came in with a very expensive bottle of sweet-smelling perfume.#14.3 sweet-smelling perfume: The Greek text has “perfume made of pure spikenard”, a plant used to make perfume. After breaking it open, she poured the perfume on Jesus' head.#Lk 7.37,38. 4This made some of the guests angry, and they complained, “Why such a waste? 5We could have sold this perfume for more than three hundred silver coins and given the money to the poor!” So they started saying cruel things to the woman.
6But Jesus said:
Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me. 7You will always have the poor with you. And whenever you want to, you can give to them. But you won't always have me here with you.#Dt 15.11. 8She has done all she could by pouring perfume on my body to prepare it for burial. 9You may be sure that wherever the good news is told all over the world, people will remember what she has done. And they will tell others.
Judas and the chief priests
(Matthew 26.14-16; Luke 22.3-6)
10Judas Iscariot#14.10 Iscariot: See the note at 3.19. was one of the twelve disciples. He went to the chief priests and offered to help them arrest Jesus. 11They were glad to hear this, and they promised to pay him. So Judas started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus.
Jesus eats with his disciples
(Matthew 26.17-25; Luke 22.7-14,21-23; John 13.21-30)
12It was the first day of the Festival of Thin Bread, and the Passover lambs were being killed. Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal?”
13Jesus said to two of the disciples, “Go into the city, where you will meet a man carrying a jar of water.#14.13 a man carrying a jar of water: A male slave carrying water could mean that the family was rich. Follow him, 14and when he goes into a house, say to the owner, ‘Our teacher wants to know if you have a room where he can eat the Passover meal with his disciples.’ 15The owner will take you upstairs and show you a large room furnished and ready for you to use. Prepare the meal there.”
16The two disciples went into the city and found everything just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.
17-18While Jesus and the twelve disciples were eating together that evening, he said, “The one who will betray me is now eating with me.”#Ps 41.9.
19This made the disciples sad, and one after another they said to Jesus, “Surely you don't mean me!”
20He answered, “It is one of you twelve men who is eating from this dish with me. 21The Son of Man will die, just as the Scriptures say. But it is going to be terrible for the one who betrays me. That man would be better off if he had never been born.”
The Lord's Supper
(Matthew 26.26-30; Luke 22.14-23; 1 Corinthians 11.23-25)
22During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this. It is my body.”
23Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He gave it to his disciples, and said, “Drink it!” So they all drank some. 24Then he said, “This is my blood, which is poured out for many people, and with it God makes his agreement.#Ex 24.8; Jr 31.31-34. 25From now on I will not drink any wine, until I drink new wine in God's kingdom.” 26Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Peter's promise
(Matthew 26.31-35; Luke 22.31-34; John 13.36-38)
27Jesus said to his disciples, “All of you will reject me, as the Scriptures say,#Zec 13.7.
‘I will strike down
the shepherd,
and the sheep
will be scattered.’
28But after I am raised to life, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”#Mt 28.16.
29Peter spoke up, “Even if all the others reject you, I never will!”
30Jesus replied, “This very night before a cock crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
31But Peter was so sure of himself that he said, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never say that I don't know you!”
All the others said the same thing.
Jesus prays
(Matthew 26.36-46; Luke 22.39-46)
32Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he told them, “Sit here while I pray.”
33Jesus took along Peter, James, and John. He was sad and troubled and 34told them, “I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me.”
35-36Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt down on the ground and prayed, “Father,#14.35,36 Father: The Greek text has “Abba”, which is an Aramaic word meaning “father”. if it is possible, don't let this happen to me! Father, you can do anything. Don't make me suffer by making me drink from this cup.#14.35,36 by making me drink from this cup: See the note at 10.38. But do what you want, and not what I want.”
37When Jesus came back and found the disciples sleeping, he said to Simon Peter, “Are you asleep? Can't you stay awake for just one hour? 38Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”
39Jesus went back and prayed the same prayer. 40But when he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to say.
41When Jesus returned to the disciples the third time, he said, “Are you still sleeping and resting?#14.41 Are you still sleeping and resting?: Or “You may as well keep on sleeping and resting.” Enough of that! The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. 42Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here.”
Jesus is arrested
(Matthew 26.47-56; Luke 22.47-53; John 18.3-12)
43Jesus was still speaking, when Judas the betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a mob of men armed with swords and clubs were with him. They had been sent by the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses. 44Judas had told them beforehand, “Arrest the man I greet with a kiss.#14.44 greet with a kiss: It was the custom for people to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. Tie him up tight and lead him away.”
45Judas walked right up to Jesus and said, “Teacher!” Then Judas kissed him, 46and the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
47Someone standing there pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48Jesus said to the mob, “Why do you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like a criminal? 49Day after day I was with you and taught in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. But what the Scriptures say must come true.”#Lk 19.47; 21.37.
50All Jesus' disciples ran off and left him. 51One of them was a young man who was wearing only a linen cloth. And when the men grabbed him, 52he left the cloth behind and ran away naked.
Jesus is questioned by the council
(Matthew 26.57-68; Luke 22.54,55,63-71; John 18.13,14,19-24)
53Jesus was led off to the high priest. Then the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses all met together. 54Peter had followed at a distance. And when he reached the courtyard of the high priest's house, he sat down with the guards to warm himself beside a fire.
55The chief priests and the whole council tried to find someone to accuse Jesus of a crime, so they could put him to death. But they could not find anyone to accuse him. 56Many people did tell lies against Jesus, but they did not agree on what they said. 57Finally, some men stood up and lied about him. They said, 58“We heard him say he would tear down this temple that we built. He also claimed that in three days he would build another one without any help.”#Jn 2.19. 59But even then they did not agree on what they said.
60The high priest stood up in the council and asked Jesus, “Why don't you say something in your own defence? Don't you hear the charges they are making against you?” 61But Jesus kept quiet and did not say a word. The high priest asked him another question, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the glorious God?”#14.61 Son of the glorious God: “Son of God” was one of the titles used for the kings of Israel.
62“Yes, I am!” Jesus answered.#Dn 7.13.
“Soon you will see
the Son of Man
sitting at the right side#14.62 right side: See the note at 12.36.
of God All-Powerful,
and coming with the clouds
of heaven.”
63At once the high priest ripped his robe apart and shouted, “Why do we need more witnesses? 64You heard him claim to be God! What is your decision?” They all agreed that he should be put to death.#Lv 24.16.
65Some of the people started spitting on Jesus. They blindfolded him, hit him with their fists, and said, “Tell us who hit you!” Then the guards took charge of Jesus and beat him.
Peter says he doesn't know Jesus
(Matthew 26.69-75; Luke 22.56-62; John 18.15-18,25-27)
66While Peter was still in the courtyard, a servant girl of the high priest came up 67and saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She stared at him and said, “You were with Jesus from Nazareth!”
68Peter replied, “That isn't true! I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have any idea what you mean.” He went out to the gate, and a cock crowed.#14.68 a cock crowed: These words are not in some manuscripts.
69The servant girl saw Peter again and said to the people standing there, “This man is one of them!”
70“No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
A little while later some of the people said to Peter, “You certainly are one of them. You're a Galilean!”
71This time Peter began to curse and swear, “I don't even know the man you're talking about!”
72Straight away the cock crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered that Jesus had told him, “Before a cock crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.” So Peter started crying.
