Mark 14
14
1And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;
2and they said, ‘Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.’
3And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;
4and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, ‘For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?
5for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;’ and they were murmuring at her.
6And Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why are ye giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me;
7for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;
8what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.
9Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of — for a memorial of her.’
10And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,
11and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.
12And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, ‘Where wilt thou, [that,] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?’
13And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, ‘Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;
14and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house — The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
15and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared — there make ready for us.’
16And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.
17And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve,
18and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, ‘Verily I say to you — one of you, who is eating with me — shall deliver me up.’
19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, ‘Is it I?’ and another, ‘Is it I?’
20And he answering said to them, ‘One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;
21the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.’
22And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’
23And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it — all;
24and he said to them, ‘This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;
25verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.’
26And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,
27and Jesus saith to them — ‘All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,
28but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.’
29And Peter said to him, ‘And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;’
30And Jesus said to him, ‘Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.’
31And he spake the more vehemently, ‘If it may be necessary for me to die with thee — I will in no wise deny thee;’ and in like manner also said they all.
32And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, ‘Sit ye here till I may pray;’
33and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,
34and he saith to them, ‘Exceeding sorrowful is my soul — to death; remain here, and watch.’
35And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,
36and he said, ‘Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.’
37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, ‘Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!
38Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.’
39And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;
40and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.
41And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, ‘Sleep on henceforth, and rest — it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;
42rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.’
43And immediately — while he is yet speaking — cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
44and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, ‘Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,’
45and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi,’ and kissed him.
46And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;
47and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.
48And Jesus answering said to them, ‘As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!
49daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me — but that the Writings may be fulfilled.’
50And having left him they all fled;
51and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,
52and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.
53And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;
54and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.
55And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony — to put him to death, and they were not finding,
56for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.
57And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying —
58‘We heard him saying — I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;’
59and neither so was their testimony alike.
60And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, ‘Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?’
61and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, ‘Art thou the Christ — the Son of the Blessed?’
62and Jesus said, ‘I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.’
63And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, ‘What need have we yet of witnesses?
64Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?’ and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,
65and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, ‘Prophesy;’ and the officers were striking him with their palms.
66And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest,
67and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, ‘And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!’
68and he denied, saying, ‘I have not known [him], neither do I understand what thou sayest;’ and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.
69And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near — ‘This is of them;’
70and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, ‘Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;’
71and he began to anathematize, and to swear — ‘I have not known this man of whom ye speak;’
72and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him — ‘Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;’ and having thought thereon — he was weeping.

The Plot to Kill Jesus
1After # Mt 26:1-5; Lk 22:1-2 two days it was the Passover # Ex 12:11 and the Festival # Jn 5:1 of Unleavened Bread. # Ex 23:15 The chief priests and the scribes # Mt 2:4 were looking for a treacherous # Ps 10:7 way to arrest and kill Him. # Jn 5:18 2“Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany
3While # Mt 26:6-13; Jn 12:2-8 He was in Bethany # Mk 11:1 at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, # Mt 11:5 as He was reclining at the table, # Lv 19:34 a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head. # Rm 12:13 4But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this fragrant oil been wasted? 5For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii # Mt 18:28 and given to the poor.” # Rm 15:26 And they began to scold her.
6Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing # 1Pt 2:12 for Me. 7You always have the poor # Dt 15:11 with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me. # Lk 10:38-42 8She has done what she could; she has anointed My body # Lk 12:4 in advance for burial. # Jn 19:40 9I assure you: # Ps 72:19; Rv 22:21 Wherever the gospel # Mk 1:1; Php 1:5 is proclaimed in the whole world, # Mt 13:38; 1Jn 2:2 what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
10Then # Mt 26:14-16; Lk 22:3-6 Judas Iscariot, # Mk 3:19 one of the Twelve, # Mk 11:11 went to the chief priests # Mt 2:4 to hand Him over # Mk 9:31 to them. 11And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him silver. # Or money ; in Mt 26:15 it is specified as 30 pieces of silver; see Zch 11:12-13 # Lk 19:15 So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray # Jn 13:21 Him.
Preparation for Passover
12On # Mt 26:17-19; Lk 22:7-13 the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, # Ex 12:21 His disciples # Mt 9:10; Mk 10:10; Lk 6:1; Jn 6:3; Ac 6:1 asked Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare the Passover so You may eat it? ”
13So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him. 14Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher # Mk 4:38; Eph 4:11 says, “Where is the guest room for Me to eat the Passover with My disciples? ” ’ 15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” 16So the disciples # Mk 10:10 went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
Betrayal at the Passover
17When # Mt 26:20-25; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 evening came, He arrived with the Twelve. # Mk 11:11 18While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me — one who is eating with Me! ”
19They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I? ”
20He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve — the one who is dipping bread with Me in the bowl. 21For the Son of Man # Mk 2:10 will go just as it is written # Mk 1:2; Ac 15:15 about Him, # Dn 7:21,25; 9:26 but woe # Rv 9:12 to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
The First Lord’s Supper
22As # Mt 26:26-30; Lk 22:17-20; 1Co 11:23-25 they were eating, He took bread, # 1Co 10:16 blessed and broke # Mt 14:19; 15:36; Ac 2:46; 20:7,11; 27:35 it, gave it to them, # Lk 24:30 and said, “Take it; # Other mss add eat; this is My body.” # Lk 12:4; Jn 2:21; 6:51
23Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, # Mk 8:6 He gave it to them, and so they all drank from it. 24He said to them, “This is My blood that establishes the covenant; # Other mss read the new covenant # Ex 24:8; Zch 9:11; Heb 9:18-20; 10:29; 13:20 it is shed # Gn 4:11; Nm 35:33; Lm 4:13; Mt 23:35 for many. # Is 52:13–53:12 25I assure you: # Rv 22:21 I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine # Is 32:12; Hab 3:17; Jms 3:12 until that day when I drink it in a new # Is 25:6; Lk 13:28-29; 14:15-24 way # Or drink new wine ; lit drink it new in the kingdom of God.” # Mk 1:15 26After singing psalms, # Pss 113–118 were sung during and after the Passover meal. they went out to the Mount of Olives. # Mt 21:1
Peter’s Denial Predicted
27Then # Mt 26:31-35; Lk 22:31-38; Jn 13:31-38 Jesus said to them, “All of you will run away, # Other mss add because of Me this night # Or stumble because it is written: # Ac 15:15
I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep # Mt 7:15 will be scattered. # Zch 13:7 # Zch 13:7
28But after I have been resurrected, # 1Co 15:4 I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” # Mt 17:22
29Peter # Lk 6:14; Ac 10:32 told Him, “Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not! ”
30“I assure you,” Jesus said to him, “today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times! ” # Mk 14:72
31But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with You, I will never deny You! ” And they all said the same thing.
The Prayer in the Garden
32Then # Mt 26:36-46; Lk 22:39-46 they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, # Mk 10:10 “Sit here while I pray.” # Mt 5:44; Ac 12:12 33He took Peter, # Lk 6:14 James, # Ac 12:2 and John # Jn 21:7 with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified. 34Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrow # Or I am deeply grieved — to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.” # Rv 16:15 35Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour # Jn 2:4 might pass from Him. 36And He said, “Abba, # Rm 8:15; Gl 4:6 Father! # Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42 All things are possible # Mt 19:26; Mk 9:23 for You. Take this cup # Ps 11:6; Is 51:17,22; Lm 4:21; Ezk 23:32-34; Mk 10:38-39; Jn 18:11 away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
37Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon, # Mt 16:17 are you sleeping? ” He asked Peter. # Lk 6:14 “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour? 38Stay awake and pray # Mt 5:44 so that you won’t enter into temptation. # Mt 6:13; Lk 4:13 The spirit # Ps 51:12 is willing, but the flesh # Php 3:3 is weak.”
39Once again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. 40And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. # Lit because their eyes were weighed down They did not know what to say to Him. # Mk 4:40 41Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man # Mk 2:10 is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. # Mk 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34 42Get up; # Mk 5:41 let’s go! See — My betrayer is near.”
The Judas Kiss
43While # Mt 26:47-56; Lk 22:47-53; Jn 18:1-2 He was still speaking, Judas, # Mk 3:19 one of the Twelve, # Mk 11:11 suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, # Mt 2:4 and the elders. # 3Jn 1 44His betrayer had given them a signal. “The One I kiss,” he said, “He’s the One; arrest Him and take Him away under guard.” 45So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi! ” # Jn 11:8 — and kissed Him. 46Then they took hold of Him and arrested Him. 47And one of those who stood by drew his sword, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his ear.
48But Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal, # Lit as against a criminal to capture Me? 49Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, # Ac 21:26 and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures # 2Pt 1:20 must be fulfilled.” # Mt 1:22; Mk 9:12 50Then they all deserted Him and ran away. # Mk 4:40; Jms 4:7
51Now a certain young man, # Perhaps John Mark who later wrote this Gospel having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him, 52but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked. # Am 2:16
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
53They # Mt 26:57-68; Lk 22:54,63-65; Jn 18:24 led Jesus away to the high priest, # Mt 26:3 and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes # Mt 2:4 convened. # Mk 8:31; 10:33 54Peter # Lk 6:14 followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police, # Or the officers ; lit the servants # Jn 18:18 warming himself by the fire. # Lit light
55The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin # Mk 13:9 were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, # Mt 10:21 but they could find none. 56For many were giving false testimony # Pr 6:19; 1Jn 5:10 against Him, but the testimonies did not agree. 57Some stood up and were giving false testimony against Him, stating, 58“We heard Him say, ‘I will demolish this sanctuary made by human hands, # Col 2:11 and in three days I will build another not made by hands.’ ” 59Yet their testimony did not agree # Nm 35:30; Dt 17:6; 19:15; Php 2:6 even on this.
60Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You? ” 61But He kept silent and did not answer anything. # Is 53:7; Mt 27:12,14; Mk 15:5; Lk 23:9; Jn 19:9 Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Messiah, # Mt 1:17; Eph 5:2 the Son # Jn 5:19; Heb 1:2 of the Blessed # Lk 1:68; Rm 1:25; 9:5; 2Co 1:3; 11:31; Eph 1:3; 1Pt 1:3 One? ”
62“I am,” # Ex 3:14; Ps 45:8; Jn 8:24 said Jesus, “and all of you # Lit and you will see the Son of Man # Mk 2:10; Ac 7:56 seated at the right hand # Mt 20:21 of the Power and coming with the clouds # Mt 26:64; Mk 13:26 of heaven.” # Ps 110:1; Dn 7:13 # Ps 110:1; Dn 7:13
63Then the high priest # Mt 26:3 tore his robes # Lv 10:6; 21:10; Nm 14:6; Jn 19:23 and said, “Why do we still need witnesses? # Heb 12:1 64You have heard the blasphemy! # Jn 10:33 Rv 13:6 What is your decision? ” # Lit How does it appear to you?
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. # Mk 10:33 65Then some began to spit on Him, to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, saying, “Prophesy! ” # Jn 11:51 The temple police # Jn 18:18 also took Him and slapped Him.
Peter Denies His Lord
66While # Mt 26:69-75; Lk 22:54-62; Jn 18:15-18,25-27 Peter # Lk 6:14 was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s servants came. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene, # Mk 1:24; 10:47; 16:6; Lk 4:34; 24:19 Jesus.”
68But he denied it: “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about! ” Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed. # Other mss omit and a rooster crowed
69When the servant saw him again she began to tell those standing nearby, “This man is one of them! ”
70But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean! ” # Other mss add and your speech shows it # Jn 4:45
71Then he started to curse # To call down curses on himself if what he said weren’t true and to swear with an oath, # Mt 5:34 “I don’t know this man you’re talking about! ”
72Immediately a rooster crowed a second time, # Mk 14:30 and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” When he thought about it, he began to weep. # Or he burst into tears, or he broke down
