Mark 14
14
1 Now the feast of Passover and of Unleavened Bread was two days away. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a means by which they might deceitfully seize him and kill him.
2 But they said, "Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people."
3 And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was reclining to eat, a woman arrived having an alabaster container of ointment, of precious spikenard. And breaking open the alabaster container, she poured it over his head.
4 But there were some who became indignant within themselves and who were saying: "What is the reason for this waste of the ointment?
5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and been given to the poor." And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said: "Permit her. What is the reason that you trouble her? She has done a good deed for me.
7 For the poor, you have with you always. And whenever you wish, you are able to do good to them. But you do not have me always.
8 But she has done what she could. She has arrived in advance to anoint my body for burial.
9 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the entire world, the things she has done also shall be told, in memory of her."
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away, to the leaders of the priests, in order to betray him to them.
11 And they, upon hearing it, were gladdened. And they promised him that they would give him money. And he sought an opportune means by which he might betray him.
12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they immolate the Passover, the disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
13 And he sent two of his disciples, and he said to them: "Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
14 And wherever he will have entered, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says: Where is my dining room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
15 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And there, you shall prepare it for us."
16 And his disciples departed and went into the city. And they found it just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
17 Then, when evening came, he arrived with the twelve.
18 And while reclining and eating with them at table, Jesus said, "Amen I say to you, that one of you, who eats with me, will betray me."
19 But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one at a time: "Is it I?"
20 And he said to them: "It is one of the twelve, who dips his hand with me in the dish.
21 And indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born."
22 And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: "Take. This is my body."
23 And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it.
24 And he said to them: "This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many.
25 Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God."
26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus said to them: "You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee."
29 Then Peter said to him, "Even if all will have fallen away from you, yet I will not."
30 And Jesus said to him, "Amen I say to you, that this day, in this night, before the rooster has uttered its voice twice, you will deny me three times."
31 But he spoke further, "Even if I must die along with you, I will not deny you." And they all spoke similarly also.
32 And they went to a country estate, by the name of Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
33 And he took Peter, and James, and John with him. And he began to be afraid and wearied.
34 And he said to them: "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Remain here and be vigilant."
35 And when he had proceeded on a little ways, he fell prostrate on the ground. And he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36 And he said: "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this chalice from me. But let it be, not as I will, but as you will."
37 And he went and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: "Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to be vigilant for one hour?
38 Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.
40 And upon returning, he found them sleeping yet again, (for their eyes were heavy) and they did not know how to respond to him.
41 And he arrived for the third time, and he said to them: "Sleep now, and take rest. It is enough. The hour has arrived. Behold, the Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he who will betray me is near."
43 And while he was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders.
44 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying: "He whom I shall kiss, it is he. Take hold of him, and lead him away cautiously."
45 And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: "Hail, Master!" And he kissed him.
46 But they laid hands on him and held him.
47 Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And in response, Jesus said to them: "Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?
49 Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled."
50 Then his disciples, leaving him behind, all fled away.
51 Now a certain young man followed him, having nothing but a fine linen cloth over himself. And they took hold of him.
52 But he, rejecting the fine linen cloth, escaped from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the elders came together.
54 But Peter followed him from a distance, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.
55 Yet truly, the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death, and they found none.
56 For many spoke false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree.
57 And certain ones, rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
58 "For we heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple, made with hands, and within three days I will build another, not made with hands.' "
59 And their testimony did not agree.
60 And the high priest, rising up in their midst, questioned Jesus, saying, "Do you have nothing to say in answer to the things that are brought against you by these ones?"
61 But he was silent and gave no answer. Again, the high priest questioned him, and he said to him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?"
62 Then Jesus said to him: "I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and arriving with the clouds of heaven."
63 Then the high priest, rending his garments, said: "Why do we still require witnesses?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you?" And they all condemned him, as guilty unto death.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and to strike him with fists, and to say to him, "Prophesy." And the servants struck him with the palms their hands.
66 And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maidservants of the high priest arrived.
67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, she stared at him, and she said: "You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you saying." And he went outside, in front of the court; and a rooster crowed.
69 Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, "For this is one of them."
70 But he denied it again. And after a little while, again those standing near said to Peter: "In truth, you are one of them. For you, too, are a Galilean."
71 Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, "For I do not know this man, about whom you are speaking."
72 And immediately the rooster crowed again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he began to weep.

Mark 14

The Plot to Kill Jesus
1Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, # 14:1 To commemorate the “passing over” of the death angel over the homes of the Hebrew people in Egypt, God instituted these days of celebration. It was an eight-day observance that began with the Passover and included the Feast of Unleavened Bread. See Ex. 12:15–20; 34:18. Some believe there could have been 250,000 pilgrims who flocked to Jerusalem to observe the celebrations. Jesus, our Passover Lamb, was killed on the day of Passover. the leading priests and religious scholars were committed to finding a way to secretly arrest Jesus and have him executed. 2They agreed that their plot could not succeed if they carried it out during the days of the feast, for they said, “There could be a riot among the people.”
Jesus Is Anointed for His Death and Burial
3Now Jesus was in Bethany, in the home of Simon, a man Jesus had healed of leprosy. # 14:3 We are all cleansed lepers, symbolized by Simon. Christ left the religious structure of the temple and went into the house of a leper. Former “lepers” are now the true temple of God. And as he was reclining at the table, # 14:3 In the time of Jesus, meals were not eaten sitting at a table, but rather while reclining on one’s side before a low table. There are two suppers mentioned in this chapter. At one, Jesus was a guest; at the other, he was the host. a woman came into the house, with an alabaster flask # 14:3 An alabaster flask would itself be considered a luxury item in that day. Alabaster was a type of gypsum, very white and possibly translucent. It was found in caves and in limestone deposits. filled with the highest quality of fragrant and expensive oil. # 14:3 This was spikenard (or nard), a spice taken from a plant that grows in northern India near the Himalayas. This costly perfume would have been carried over land to the Middle East. Many believe this jar of spikenard would have cost the average worker a year’s wages. It was a common practice among the Jews to prepare a body for burial with fragrant ointment. John records that it was about twelve ounces of perfume, which would have dripped down all of Jesus’ garments to his feet (John 12:3). She came to Jesus, and with a gesture of extreme devotion, she broke the flask and poured out the precious oil over his head. 4But some were highly indignant when they saw this, and they complained to one another, saying, “What a total waste! 5It could have been sold for a great sum, # 14:5 Or “three hundred denarii,” which is equivalent to nearly a year’s salary. Works of charity are important, but they can never replace our devotion to Christ. and the money could have benefited the poor.” So they scolded her harshly.
6Jesus said to them, “Leave her alone! Why are you so critical of this woman? She has honored me with this beautiful act of kindness. 7You will always have the poor, whom you can help whenever you want, but you will not always have me. 8When she poured the fragrant oil over me, she was preparing my body in advance of my burial. # 14:8 It is possible that when the Roman soldiers pierced Jesus’ feet and placed the crown of thorns on his head, they could have smelled this fragrant oil. She has done all that she could to honor me. 9I promise you that as this wonderful gospel spreads all over the world, the story of her lavish devotion to me will be mentioned in memory of her.” # 14:9 Jesus’ prophecy is that her sacrifice and love would be included in the Gospel account. Her act of devotion is mentioned in three of the four Gospels. You can’t read the New Testament without knowing of her passionate act of worship. The gospel will always give birth to hearts filled with passion for Jesus.
Judas Schemes to Betray Jesus
10One of the twelve apostles, Judas Iscariot, # 14:10 Or “Judas the locksmith.” Judas is the name Judah. Iscariot was not his last name. There are two possibilities for the meaning of Iscariot. Some believe it is taken from a Hebrew word that means “lock.” Judah the locksmith. He most likely was the one who locked the collection bag, which means he had the key and could pilfer the fund at will. It’s his sad history that he wanted to lock up Jesus and control him for his own ends. Other scholars see the possibility that Iscariot is actually “Ish [man] of Kerioth” (a town once situated south of Hebron). This would mean Judas was the only non-Galilean among the Twelve. went to the leading priests to inform them of his willingness to betray Jesus into their hands. 11They were delighted to hear this and agreed to pay him for it. # 14:11 This was thirty pieces of silver, the going price of a slave. See Ex. 21:32 and Matt. 26:15. So immediately Judas began to look for the right opportunity to betray him.
The Passover
12On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover Lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where would you like us to prepare the Passover meal # 14:12 That is, “the Passover seder.” for you?”
13So he sent two of his disciples ahead into Jerusalem with these instructions: “Make your way into the city and watch for a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him, 14and say to the owner of whatever house he enters, ‘The Teacher wants to ask you: “Do you have my room ready where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?” ’ 15And he will show you a large upstairs room ready and with a table set. Make preparations for us there.”
16So they went into the city and found everything to be exactly like Jesus had prophesied, and they prepared for him the Passover meal. # 14:16 This miracle account shows that Jesus had revelation knowledge and prophetic insight into the future. The disciples encountered the man, just like Jesus had said. Carrying water was a task given to women, making it easy to spot a man carrying a water jug. Also, it was somewhat of a miracle that during the feast days, with a quarter of a million pilgrims celebrating Passover in Jerusalem, there would be a large room like this unoccupied. This was the last Passover feast in God’s economy, as the shadow of Passover was fulfilled at the cross, where Jesus was crucified. Passover is now replaced for believers by the communion we share at the Lord’s Supper. See 1 Cor. 5:7–8. 17And when evening came, he entered the house and went upstairs with his twelve disciples. 18Over dinner, while they were reclining around the table, Jesus said, “Listen to the truth: One of you eating here with me is about to betray me.”
19Feeling deeply troubled by these words, one after another asked him, “Is it I?”
20He answered, “It is one of you twelve who has shared meals with me as an intimate friend. # 14:20 Or “one who dips with me in the bowl.” This is a figure of speech for an intimate friend. 21All that was prophesied of me, the Son of Man, is destined to soon take place, # 14:21 Or “The Son of Man will go where it is written that he must go.” but it will be disastrous for the one who betrays the Son of Man. It would be far better for him if he had never been born!”
Jesus Shares Communion with His Twelve
22As they were dining, Jesus took the bread and blessed it, and broke it, # 14:22 Although the Greek word klao means to “break bread,” it is better understood as tearing a round loaf of flatbread in half. The symbolism of this communion meal was fulfilled by Jesus giving us his body on the cross. Believers today now feast, not on the crucified body of Jesus, but on the substance of the glorified body of the resurrected Christ. and gave it to his disciples. He said to them, “Receive this; it is my body.” 23Then taking the cup of wine and giving thanks to the Father, he declared the new covenant with them. # 14:23 As translated from the Aramaic. And as each one drank from the cup, 24he said to them, “This is my blood, which seals the new # 14:24 A few Greek manuscripts do not have the word new. It is included in the Aramaic and the majority of Greek texts. This new covenant is a better covenant because it is established on better promises. In this new covenant, God freely gives us forgiveness, life, salvation, and every heavenly spiritual blessing. See Eph. 1:3; Heb. 8:6–13; 9:16–17. Jesus serves his disciples the bread and the cup (the blood or wine), which means he is serving us his death and resurrection. This is now our feast and our constant supply of life (John 6:51). covenant poured out for many. 25I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the day comes when we drink it together in the kingdom feast of my Father.” # 14:25 We are now in the realm of the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit brings us into the body of Christ and into the reality of God’s kingdom realm. It is growing and increasing in scope, and every time believers drink of the cup of communion, Jesus is present with us. It is the Lord’s Table, not ours. This was a prophecy of what would happen in just a matter of days from then, as believers would break bread together in remembrance of what Jesus had done for them. See Acts 2:42. Jesus now drinks it with us in a new way, and not just once a year at Passover, but every time we worship him by taking communion. 26Then they sang a psalm # 14:26 Or “a hymn.” The Aramaic is “They offered praise.” It was the custom after celebrating the Passover seder to conclude with singing one of the Hallel psalms (Pss. 115–118). and afterwards left for the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Prophesies Peter’s Denial
27Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away and desert me. # 14:27 Or “You will all fall into a trap and be ensnared.” This will fulfill the prophecy of the Scripture that says:
I will strike down the shepherd
and all the sheep will scatter. # 14:27 See Zech. 13:7.
28“But after I am risen, # 14:28 Jesus knew he would triumph over death and be raised from the dead. I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
29Then Peter spoke up and said, “Even if all the rest lose their faith and fall away, I will still be beside you!”
30Jesus said, “Mark my words, Peter. This very night, before the rooster crows twice a few hours from now, you will deny that you know me three times.”
31But Peter was insistent and replied emphatically, “I will absolutely not! Under no circumstances will I ever deny you—even if I have to die with you!” And all the others repeated the same thing.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
32Then Jesus led his disciples to an orchard called “The Oil Press.” # 14:32 Or “Gethsemane,” the Aramaic word for (olive) “oil press.” This was located on the lower slope of the Mount of Olives near the brook Kidron. King David left Jerusalem weeping as he crossed the Kidron Valley and went up the Mount of Olives (2 Sam. 15:23). Now the Son of David comes into that valley with great sorrow on his way into Jerusalem to be crucified. Kidron comes from the Hebrew verb qadar, which means “to grow dark” or “to mourn.” He told them, “Sit here while I pray awhile.” 33He took Peter, Jacob, and John with him. # 14:33 Peter, Jacob (James), and John were the three disciples who were witnesses of Christ’s glory when he was transfigured before their eyes. On the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus longed to have his three closest disciples nearby. An intense feeling of great horror plunged his soul into deep sorrow. 34And he said to them, “My heart is overwhelmed with anguish and crushed with grief. # 14:34 The Greek words used here in vv. 33–34 are unusual. The terms are extraordinarily emotional and expressive, describing the deepest feelings a person could experience. It feels as though I’m dying. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
35He walked a short distance away, and being overcome with grief, he threw himself facedown on the ground. He prayed that if it were possible, he would not have to experience this hour of suffering. 36He prayed, “Abba, my Father, all things are possible for you. Please—remove this cup of suffering! # 14:36 The cup becomes a metaphor of the great suffering that Jesus had to endure that night in the garden. However, Jesus was not asking the Father for a way around the cross. Rather, he was asking God to keep him alive through this night of suffering so that he could carry the cross and take away our sins. According to the prophecies of the Old Testament, Jesus was to be pierced on a cross. We learn from Heb. 5:7 that Jesus’ prayer was answered that night as the cup was indeed taken from him. An angel of God came to strengthen him and deliver him from premature death (Matt. 26:39). The “cup” he was asking God to let pass from him was the cup of premature death that Satan was trying to make him drink in the garden, not the death he would experience the next day on the cross. He had already sweat drops of blood (Luke 22:44), but the prophecies had to be fulfilled of being pierced on a cross for our transgressions. God answered his cry and he lived through the agony of Gethsemane so that he could be our sacrifice for sin on Calvary. Jesus did not waver in the garden. We have a brave Savior. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill your plan for me.”
37Then he came back to his three disciples and found them all sound asleep. He awakened Peter and said to him, “Simon, are you asleep? Do you lack the strength to stay awake with me for even just an hour? 38Keep alert and pray that you’ll be spared from this time of testing. For your spirit is eager enough, but your humanity is feeble.” # 14:38 The Aramaic is “the flesh is failing.”
39Then he left them a second time and went to pray the same thing. 40Afterward, he came back to the disciples and found them sound asleep, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open and they didn’t know what to say to him.
41After praying for the third time, he returned to his disciples and awoke them again, saying, “Do you plan on sleeping and resting indefinitely? That’s enough sleep! The end has come and the hour has arrived # 14:41 Or “It is received in full; the hour has come.” Although this clause is not found in the most reliable Greek texts, it is included in the Aramaic and a few Greek manuscripts (Codex D). for the Son of Man to be handed over to the authority of sinful men. 42Get up and let’s go. Don’t you see? My betrayer draws near.”
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest
43At that moment Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, along with a large crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent to arrest Jesus by order of the ruling priests, the religious scholars, and the Jewish leaders. 44Now, Judas, the traitor, had arranged to give them a signal that would identify Jesus, for he had told them, “Jesus is the man I will kiss. So arrest him and take him away.” 45Judas quickly stepped up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, my teacher!” # 14:45 Notice what Judas did not call Jesus. He did not call him “Lord,” but “teacher.” and he kissed him on both cheeks.
46Then the armed men seized Jesus to arrest him. 47One of the disciples # 14:47 Or “bystanders,” which we know to have included Peter. See John 18:10. pulled out a sword # 14:47 This was a small sword or dagger. and swung it at the servant of Caiaphas, the high priest, slashing off his ear.
48Jesus said to the mob, “Why would you arrest me with swords and clubs as though I were an outlaw? # 14:48 Or “revolutionary.” 49Day after day I sat with you in the temple courts, teaching the people, yet you didn’t arrest me then. But all of this fulfills the prophecies of the Scriptures.” 50At that point all of his disciples ran away and abandoned him.
51There was a young man # 14:51 Traditionally, this young man was thought to be Mark, the author of this Gospel. Mark may be using the common literary device of allusion when speaking of himself. The Greek text uses the word neaniskos, which would mean that the young man was a teenager or in his early twenties. there following Jesus, wearing only a linen sheet wrapped around him. # 14:51 This linen sheet is from the Greek word sindon and occurs in the Synoptic Gospels to describe the linen sheet used for burial cloth. Sindon is also used for the young man (neaniskos) dressed in linen who announced to the women at the tomb that Jesus was alive (Mark 16:5–7). This event can be seen as a foreshadowing of the resurrection, with the symbolism of the burial cloth and the escape from their clutches (in the next verse). Some believe that this young man wrapped in a burial cloth could have been resurrected in the nearby graveyard when Jesus spoke the words “I Am.” 52They tried to arrest him also, but he slipped from their grasp and ran off naked, # 14:52 Or “he was nearly naked,” for in the Jewish culture, if you were in your undergarment, you were considered to be naked. The linen garment (tunic) would point to a family of wealth. We know the weather was somewhat cold that night, for in just a few hours Peter would be standing by a fire, warming his hands. leaving his linen cloth in their hands.
Jesus Condemned by the Religious Leaders
53Those who arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, to a meeting where the religious scholars and Jewish leaders were assembled. 54Now, Peter had followed him from a distance all the way to the chief priest’s courtyard. He sat with the guards and was warming himself by the fire.
55The chief priests and the Jewish council of leaders were doing their best to find false charges that they could bring against Jesus and condemn him to death, but they could not find any. 56Many false witnesses came forward, but the evidence could not be corroborated. 57Some came forward and testified against him, saying, 58“We heard him say, ‘I can destroy this temple made with hands and then build another one again in three days not made with hands!’ ” 59Yet even on this point the witnesses did not agree.
60Finally, the chief priest stood up in the middle of them and said to Jesus, “Have you nothing to say about these allegations? Is what they’re saying about you true?”
61But Jesus remained silent before them and did not answer. So the chief priest said to him, “Are you the anointed Messiah, the Son of the Blessed God?”
62Jesus answered him, “I am. And more than that, you are about to see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming in the heavenly clouds!” # 14:62 See Dan. 7:13.
63Then, as an act of outrage, the high priest # 14:63 What a dramatic scene! Two high priests are facing each other: the high priest of the Jewish system and the true High Priest. One is of the order of Aaron; the other of the order of Melchizedek (Heb. 7:11–28). One a sinful man; the other, the sinless Son of God. It is clear from Lev. 21:10 that if a high priest tears his robe he is disqualified from his office. Indeed, Caiaphas is now stepping aside and God’s true High Priest is taking his place. tore his robe and shouted, “No more witnesses are needed, 64for you’ve heard this grievous blasphemy.” Turning to the council he said, “Now, what is your verdict?”
“He’s guilty and deserves the death penalty!” they all answered.
65Then they spat on his face # 14:65 See Isa. 50:6. and blindfolded him. Others struck him over and over with their fists and taunted him by saying, “Prophesy to us! Tell us which one of us is about to hit you next?” And the guards took him and beat him.
Peter’s Denials
66Meanwhile, Peter was sitting below in the courtyard when a girl, a servant of the high priest, came near the fire. 67When she saw Peter there warming himself, she said to him, “I recognize you. You were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”
68But Peter denied it, saying, “I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.” Then he went out to the gateway of the courtyard and the rooster crowed. # 14:68 Some manuscripts leave out the last phrase, “and the rooster crowed.”
69When the servant girl noticed him, she said to all the bystanders, “I know this man is one of his followers!”
70Once again, Peter denied it. A short time later, the bystanders said to him, “You must be one of them. You’re a Galilean, like he is, for your accent proves it!” # 14:70 Or “You are also a Galilean.” As a Galilean, Peter spoke a northern dialect of Aramaic that would pronounce certain words slightly differently, much like English is spoken with different accents around the world.
71Peter cursed and said, “I tell you, I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”
72At the same moment Peter spoke those words, the sound of a rooster crowing pierced the night for the second time. And Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken to him earlier: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” With his heart shattered, Peter broke down and sobbed with bitter tears.
