Marqos (Mark) 14
14
1Now the Pĕsaḥ#Passover. and the Festival of Matzot#Unleavened Bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to take Him through treachery and put Him to death.
2And they said, “Not at the festival, lest there shall be an uproar of the people.”
3And while He was in Bĕyth Anyah in the house of Shim‛on the leper, and sitting at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of perfume, genuine nard, very costly. And breaking the flask she poured it on His head.
4But there were some who were much displeased among themselves, and said, “Why was this perfume wasted?
5For it could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they were scolding her.
6But יהושע said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
7“For you have the poor with you always, and you are able do good to them, whenever you wish. But you do not always have Me.
8“What she had, she used. She took it beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.
9Truly, I say to you, wherever this Good News is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman did shall also be spoken of, to her remembrance.
10And Yehuḏah from Qerioth, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to deliver Him up to them.
11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him silver. And he was seeking how to deliver Him up, conveniently.
12And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they were slaughtering the Pĕsah#Passover. lamb, His taught ones said to Him, “Where do You wish us to go and prepare, for You to eat the Pĕsaḥ?”
13And He sent out two of His taught ones and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man bearing a jar of water shall meet you, follow him.
14And wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is the guest room in which I am to eat the Pĕsaḥ with My taught ones?” ’
15And he shall show you a large upper room, furnished, ready. Prepare for us there.
16And His taught ones went out and came into the city, and found it as He said to them, and they prepared the Pĕsaḥ.
17And evening having come, He came with the twelve.
18And as they sat and ate, יהושע said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you who is eating with Me shall deliver Me up.”
19And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
20And He answering, said to them, “It is one of the twelve, he who is dipping with Me in the dish.
21The Son of Aḏam is indeed going, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Aḏam is delivered up! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.
22And as they were eating, יהושע took bread, having blessed, broke it, gave it to them and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.”
23And taking the cup, giving thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24And He said to them, “This is My blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many.
25Truly, I say to you, I shall certainly no more drink of the fruit of the vine till that day when I drink it anew in the reign of Elohim.
26And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27And יהושע said to them, “All of you shall stumble in Me this night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’# Zech. 13:7
28But after I am raised, I shall go before you to Galil.
29And Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if all shall stumble, yet not I.”
30And יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that today, this night, before the cock shall crow twice, you shall deny Me three times.”
31But he spoke more strongly, “If I have to die with You, I shall not deny You!” And they all said the same.
32And they came to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to His taught ones, “Sit here while I pray.”
33And He took with Him Kĕpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and He began to be greatly amazed, and to be deeply distressed.
34And He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35And He went on a little, and fell on the ground, and was praying that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36And He said, “Abba, Father, all is possible for You. Make this cup pass from Me. Yet not what I desire, but what You desire.”
37And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Kĕpha, “Shim‛on, are you sleeping? You were not able to watch one hour!
38Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.
39And again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
40And having returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41And He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. See, the Son of Aḏam is being delivered up into the hands of the sinners.
42Rise up, let us go. See, he who is delivering Me up has drawn near.
43And immediately, while He was still speaking, Yehuḏah, one of the twelve, with a large crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44And the one who was delivering Him up had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He – seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45And coming, going straight up to Him, he said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46And they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.
47And one of those standing by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48And יהושע answering, said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take Me?
49Daily I was with you in the Set-apart Place teaching, and you did not seize Me. But let the Scriptures be filled.
50And they all left Him and fled.
51And a certain young man was following Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And when they seized him,
52he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53And they led יהושע away to the high priest. And all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes came together to Him.
54And Kĕpha followed Him at a distance, even into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.
55And the chief priests and all the council were seeking witness against יהושע to put Him to death, and they were finding none.
56For many bore false witness against Him, but their evidences did not agree.
57And some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,
58We heard Him saying, ‘I shall destroy this Dwelling Place that is made with hands, and within three days I shall build another made without hands.’
59And not even then did their witness agree.
60Then the high priest stood up in the centre and asked יהושע, saying, “Have You no answer to make? What do these witness against You?”
61But He remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?”
62And יהושע said, “I am, and you shall see the Son of Aḏam sitting at the right hand of the Power,# Psa. 110:1 and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”#Dan. 7:13
63And tearing his garments, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think? And they all condemned Him to be liable to death.
65And some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.
66And as Kĕpha was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
67and seeing Kĕpha warming himself, she looked at him and said, “And you were with יהושע of Natsareth.”
68But he denied it, saying, “I do not know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out onto the porch, and a cock crowed.
69And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
70And again he was denying it. And after a little while those who stood by again said to Kĕpha, “Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too, and your speech is alike.”
71And he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
72And a second time the cock crowed. And Kĕpha remembered the word that יהושע had said to him, “Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.” And thinking on it, he wept.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
1Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 2“But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.”
3While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
4Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5It could have been sold for more than a yearʼs wages#14:5 Greek than three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7The poor you will always have with you,#14:7 See Deut. 15:11. and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. 9Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. 11They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper
12On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesusʼ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
13So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me — one who is eating with me.”
19They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you donʼt mean me?”
20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the#14:24 Some manuscripts the new covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25“Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peterʼs Denial
27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:
“ ‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’#14:27 Zech. 13:7
28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today — yes, tonight — before the rooster crows twice#14:30 Some early manuscripts do not have twice. you yourself will disown me three times.”
31But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Gethsemane
32They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36“Abba, #14:36 Aramaic for father Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
37Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldnʼt you keep watch for one hour? 38Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested
43Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” 50Then everyone deserted him and fled.
51A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
53They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
55The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’ ” 59Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
63The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64“You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
Peter Disowns Jesus
66While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.
68But he denied it. “I donʼt know or understand what youʼre talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.#14:68 Some early manuscripts entryway and the rooster crowed
69When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70Again he denied it.
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”
71He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I donʼt know this man youʼre talking about.”
72Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.#14:72 Some early manuscripts do not have the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice#14:72 Some early manuscripts do not have twice. you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
