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
Mt 26:1–5; Lk 22:1–2; Jn 11:45–53
1#Lk 22:1–2; Jn 13:1Now the feasts of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread were two days away. And the chief priests and the scribes looked for a way to seize Him secretly and kill Him. 2But they said “Not on the feast day, lest there will be an uproar among the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany
Mt 26:6–13; Jn 12:1–8
3#Mt 21:17; Lk 7:37–39While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at supper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured the ointment on His head.
4There were some with indignation within themselves, saying, “Why was this ointment wasted? 5#Jn 13:29It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii#A year’s wages. and given to the poor.” And they grumbled against her.
6Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7#Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish, you may do good to them. But you will not always have Me. 8#2Co 8:12She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9#Mk 16:15Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel will be preached throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.”
Judas’ Agreement to Betray Jesus
Mt 26:14–18; Lk 22:3–6
10#Jn 13:2; Mt 26:14–16Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them. 11When they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he looked for how he might conveniently betray Him.
The Passover With the Disciples
Mt 26:17–28; Lk 22:7–14, 21–23; Jn 13:21–30
12#Ex 12:6; 12:8On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
13So He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you there. Follow him. 14#Jn 11:28Wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ 15#Ac 1:13He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it as He had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
17#Lk 22:14In the evening He came with the twelve. 18#Ps 41:9; Jn 6:70As they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
19They began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” and another, “Is it I?”
20#Jn 13:26He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread in the dish with Me. 21#Mk 14:49The Son of Man indeed goes as it is written concerning 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 never been born.”
The Lord’s Supper
Mt 26:26–30; Lk 22:15–20; 1Co 11:23–25
22#Mt 26:26–29; 14:19As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “Take and eat it. This is My body.”
23#1Co 10:16Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them. And they all drank from it.
24#Ex 24:8; Zec 9:11He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. 25#Mt 26:29Truly I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26#Mt 26:30; 21:1When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Peter’s Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31–35; Lk 22:31–34; Jn 13:36–38
27#Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’#Zec 13:7.
28#Mt 28:16; Mk 16:7But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30#Mk 14:66–72; Jn 13:38Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31But he said more vehemently, “If I must die with You, I will not deny You.” They all said the same thing.
The Prayer in Gethsemane
Mt 26:36–46; Lk 22:39–46
32#Mt 26:36–46; Mk 14:36They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. And He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33#Mk 5:37; 9:2He took Peter and James and John with Him and began to be greatly distressed and very troubled. 34#Jn 12:27And He said to them, “My soul is deeply sorrowful unto death. Remain here and keep watch.”
35#Mk 14:41; Heb 5:7He went a little farther and fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36#Gal 4:6; Jn 5:30He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37Then He came and found them sleeping and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch one hour? 38#Mt 26:41; Mk 14:34Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39Again He went away and prayed the same words. 40When He returned, He again found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41#Mk 9:31; 14:35When He returned a third time, He said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Rise up, let us go. Look! He who betrays Me is at hand.”
The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
Mt 26:47–56; Lk 22:47–53; Jn 18:3–12
43#Ac 1:16Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44Now he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One. Seize Him and lead Him away safely.” 45So as soon as he came, he went to Him immediately and said, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 46They laid hands on Him and seized Him. 47Then one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would a thief? 49#Mk 12:35; Jn 8:2Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” 50#Mk 14:27; Ps 38:11Then they all deserted Him and fled.
The Young Man Who Fled
51A young man followed Him, wearing a linen cloth around himself. And the young men laid hold of him, 52so he left the linen cloth, and fled from them unclothed.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Mt 26:57–68; Lk 22:54–55, 63–71; Jn 18:13–14, 19–24
53#Mt 26:57–68They led Jesus away to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled with him. 54#Jn 18:18; Mt 26:3Peter followed Him at a distance into the courtyard of the high priest. He sat with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
55Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin requested testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56Many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.
57#Mt 26:60–61Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58#Mk 15:29; Jn 2:19“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.’ ” 59But still their testimony did not agree.
60Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Do You answer nothing? What is it which these men testify against You?” 61#Isa 53:7; Mt 16:16But He kept silent and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62#Ps 110:1; Heb 1:3Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63#Nu 14:6The high priest tore his robes, saying, “What need do we have of any further witnesses? 64#Lev 24:16You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned Him as guilty unto death. 65#Isa 50:6; Mt 26:67–68Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to strike Him, saying to Him, “Prophesy!” And the guards struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Peter’s Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:69–75; Lk 22:56–62; Jn 18:15–18, 25–27
66#Mk 14:54While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67#Mk 14:54When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” Then he went out to the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by, “This man is one of them.” 70#Ac 2:7But again, he denied it.
A little while later, those who stood by said again to Peter, “Surely, you are one of them. For you are a Galilean, and your speech confirms it.”
71Peter began to invoke a curse on himself, and to swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak.”
72#Mk 14:30; 14:68And the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought on this, he wept.
