Mark 14
1 It was only two days before the [people] ([celebrated/started to celebrate]) [for one week the] festival [which they called] Passover. During those days they also celebrated the festival of (Unleavened Bread/[eating] bread that had no yeast in it). The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were planning how they could seize Jesus secretly. [They wanted to accuse him in front of the Roman authorities] so that they would execute him.
過兩天是逾越節，又是除酵節，祭司長和文士想法子怎麼用詭計捉拿耶穌，殺他。
2 But they were saying to one another, “We must not [do it] during the celebration, because, [if we do it then], the people will [be very angry with us and] riot!”
只是說：「當節的日子不可，恐怕百姓生亂。」
3 Jesus was at Bethany [town] in the house of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed from] leprosy. While they were eating, a woman came [to him]. [She was carrying] a stone jar that contained expensive [fragrant] perfume called nard. She opened the jar and then she poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的西門家裏坐席的時候，有一個女人拿着一玉瓶至貴的真哪噠香膏來，打破玉瓶，把膏澆在耶穌的頭上。
4 One of the people [who were present] became angry and said to the others, “([It is terrible that she] wasted that perfume!/[Why did she] waste that perfume?) [RHQ]
有幾個人心中很不喜悅，說：「何用這樣枉費香膏呢？
5 It could have been sold {[We] could have sold it} for (a huge amount of money/an amount of money for which a person works for a year), and then [the money] could have been given {[we] could have given [the money]} to poor people!” So he rebuked her.
這香膏可以賣三十多兩銀子賙濟窮人。」他們就向那女人生氣。
6 But Jesus said, “Stop [scolding] her! She has done to me what I [consider to be] very appropriate/delightful. So (you should not bother her!/why do you bother her?) [RHQ]
耶穌說：「由她吧！為甚麼難為她呢？她在我身上做的是一件美事。
7 You will always have poor people among you. So you can help them whenever you want to. But I will not [be here among] you much longer. [So it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me].
因為常有窮人和你們同在，要向他們行善隨時都可以；只是你們不常有我。
8 [It is appropriate that] she has done what she was able to do. [It is as if she knew that I was going to die soon] and has anointed my body for their burying it.
她所做的，是盡她所能的；她是為我安葬的事把香膏預先澆在我身上。
9 I will tell you this: Wherever the good message [about me] is preached {people preach the good message} throughout the world, what she has done will be told {people will tell others what she has done [to me]}, and as a result people will remember her.”
我實在告訴你們，普天之下，無論在甚麼地方傳這福音，也要述說這女人所做的，以為記念。」
10 Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) went to the chief priests in order to [talk to them about] helping them to seize Jesus. He did that [even though] he was one of the twelve [disciples]
十二門徒之中，有一個加略人猶大去見祭司長，要把耶穌交給他們。
11 When they heard [what he was willing to do for them], they were very happy. They promised that they would give him [a large amount of] money [for doing that. Judas agreed, so they gave him the money]. As a result, he [began] watching for an opportunity (to betray Jesus/to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him).
他們聽見就歡喜，又應許給他銀子；他就尋思如何得便把耶穌交給他們。
12 [Two days later], when they killed the lambs [for the] festival at the beginning of the week when [people ate] bread that had no yeast in it, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration] in order that you can eat it [with us]?”
除酵節的第一天，就是宰逾越羊羔的那一天，門徒對耶穌說：「你吃逾越節的筵席要我們往哪裏去預備呢？」
13 So he [chose] two of his disciples [to prepare everything]. He said to them, “Go into [Jerusalem] city. A man will meet you, who will be carrying a large jar full of water. Follow him.
耶穌就打發兩個門徒，對他們說：「你們進城去，必有人拿着一瓶水迎面而來，你們就跟着他。
14 When he enters [a house], say to the man who owns the house, ‘[Our] teacher wants us to prepare [the meal of] the Passover celebration so that he can eat it with us his disciples. (Please show us the room that he [arranged with you about]./Where is the room that he [arranged with you about]?) [RHQ]’
他進哪家去，你們就對那家的主人說：『夫子說：客房在哪裏？我與門徒好在那裏吃逾越節的筵席。』
15 He will show you a large room that is on the upper floor [of the house]. It will be furnished and ready [for us to eat a meal in it]. Then prepare the meal there for us.”
他必指給你們擺設整齊的一間大樓，你們就在那裏為我們預備。」
16 So the [two] disciples left. They went into the city and found [everything] to be just like he had told them. They prepared the [meal for] the Passover [celebration, and then returned to Jesus and the other disciples].
門徒出去，進了城，所遇見的正如耶穌所說的。他們就預備了逾越節的筵席。
17 When it was evening, Jesus arrived [at that house] with the twelve [disciples].
到了晚上，耶穌和十二個門徒都來了。
18 As they were all sitting there [and eating], Jesus said, “Listen carefully to this: One of you will enable my enemies to seize me. Specifically, it is one of you who [will do this in spite of the fact that he] is eating with me [right now]!”
他們坐席正吃的時候，耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，你們中間有一個與我同吃的人要賣我了。」
19 The disciples became very sad and they said to him one by one, “Surely (it is not I!/I am not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
他們就憂愁起來，一個一個地問他說：「是我嗎？」
20 Then he said to them, “It is one of [you] twelve [disciples], the one who is dipping [bread] into the [sauce in the] dish along with me.
耶穌對他們說：「是十二個門徒中同我蘸手在盤子裏的那個人。
21 It is certain that [I], the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been {what [the prophets] have} written about me. But there will be terrible [punishment] for the man by whom I will be betrayed {who will (betray me/help my enemies to seize me)}! In fact, it would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
人子必要去世，正如經上指着他所寫的；但賣人子的人有禍了！那人不生在世上倒好。」
22 While they were eating, he took [a flat loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them and said to them, “This [bread represents] [MET] my body. Take it [and eat it].”
他們吃的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝了福，就擘開，遞給他們，說：「你們拿着吃，這是我的身體」；
23 Afterwards, he took a cup [that contained wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to them, and then, as they all drank from it,
又拿起杯來，祝謝了，遞給他們；他們都喝了。
24 he said to them, “This [wine represents] [MET] my blood, which is about to be shed {which is about to flow from my body} [when my enemies kill me]. With this blood I [will sign] the agreement [that God has made to forgive the sins of] many people.
耶穌說：「這是我立約的血，為多人流出來的。
25 I want you to know this: I will not drink any more wine in this way until the time when I drink it with a new [meaning] when I begin to rule as a king.”
我實在告訴你們，我不再喝這葡萄汁，直到我在上帝的國裏喝新的那日子。」
26 After they sang a hymn, they went out toward Olive [Tree] Hill.
他們唱了詩，就出來，往橄欖山去。
27 [While they were on their way], Jesus said to them, “It has been {[The prophets] have} written [in the Scriptures that God said about me], ‘I will kill the shepherd and his sheep will scatter.’ [Those words will come true. When they are about to capture me], all of you will leave me and run away.
耶穌對他們說：「你們都要跌倒了，因為經上記着說： 我要擊打牧人， 羊就分散了。
28 But after I have been made {[God] has made me} alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
但我復活以後，要在你們以先往加利利去。」
29 Then Peter said to him, “Perhaps all the [other disciples] will leave you, but not I! I will not [leave you]!”
彼得說：「眾人雖然跌倒，我總不能。」
30 Then Jesus said to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows a second time, you yourself will deny three times [that you know] me!”
耶穌對他說：「我實在告訴你，就在今天夜裏，雞叫兩遍以先，你要三次不認我。」
31 But Peter replied strongly, “Even if they kill me [as I defend] you, I will never deny [that I know] you!” And all [the other disciples] said the same thing.
彼得卻極力地說：「我就是必須和你同死，也總不能不認你。」眾門徒都是這樣說。
32 [On the way], Jesus and the disciples came to the place that [people] call Gethsemane. Then he said to [some/eight of] his disciples, “Stay here while I pray!”
他們來到一個地方，名叫客西馬尼。耶穌對門徒說：「你們坐在這裏，等我禱告。」
33 Then he took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed, and he said to them,
於是帶着彼得、雅各、約翰同去，就驚恐起來，極其難過，
34 “I [SYN] am very sorrowful. [It is as if] I were about to die. [You men] remain here and stay awake!”
對他們說：「我心裏甚是憂傷，幾乎要死；你們在這裏等候，警醒。」
35 He went a bit further and threw himself on the ground. Then he prayed that if it were possible, he would not [have to suffer] [MTY].
他就稍往前走，俯伏在地，禱告說：「倘若可行，便叫那時候過去。」
36 He said, “O my Father, [because] you are able to do everything, rescue me so that I do not have to suffer [now] [MTY]! But do not [do] what I want. Instead, [do] what you want!”
他說：「阿爸！父啊！在你凡事都能；求你將這杯撤去。然而，不要從我的意思，只要從你的意思。」
37 Then he returned and found his [disciples] sleeping. He [woke them up and] said, “Simon! ([I am disappointed that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just a short time!/[Why is it that] you fell asleep and that you were not able to stay awake for just one hour?) [RHQ]”
耶穌回來，見他們睡着了，就對彼得說：「西門，你睡覺嗎？不能警醒片時嗎？
38 [And he said to them], “You want [to do what I say], but you are not strong enough [MTY] [to actually do it]. So keep awake and pray in order that you can resist when [something like this] tempts you!”
總要警醒禱告，免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意，肉體卻軟弱了。」
39 Then he went away again and prayed again what he prayed before.
耶穌又去禱告，說的話還是與先前一樣，
40 When he returned, he found that they were sleeping again because they were [so] sleepy that they could not keep their eyes open. [Because they were ashamed], they did not know what to say to him [when he awakened them].
又來見他們睡着了，因為他們的眼睛甚是困倦；他們也不知道怎麼回答。
41 [Then he went and prayed again]. He returned a third time; [and he found them sleeping again]. He [woke] all of [them and] said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] sleeping again!/[Why are you] sleeping again?) [RHQ] [You have slept] enough. The time [for me to suffer] is about to begin. Look! Someone is about to enable sinful men to seize me, the one who came from heaven.
第三次來，對他們說：「現在你們仍然睡覺安歇吧！夠了，時候到了。看哪，人子被賣在罪人手裏了。
42 [So] get up! Let’s go [toward him] Look! Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
起來！我們走吧。看哪，那賣我的人近了！ 」
43 While he was still speaking, Judas [arrived]. [Even though he was] one of [Jesus’] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A crowd who carried swords and clubs was with him. The [leaders of] the Jewish Council had sent them.
說話之間，忽然那十二個門徒裏的猶大來了，並有許多人帶着刀棒，從祭司長和文士並長老那裏與他同來。
44 [Judas], who was (betraying Jesus/helping Jesus’ enemies to seize him), had [previously] told this crowd, “The man whom I kiss is the one [whom you want. When I kiss him], seize him and lead him away [while you guard him] carefully.”
賣耶穌的人曾給他們一個暗號，說：「我與誰親嘴，誰就是他。你們把他拿住，牢牢靠靠地帶去。」
45 So, when Judas arrived, he immediately went to Jesus and said, “My teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on his neck/cheek].
猶大來了，隨即到耶穌跟前，說：「拉比」，便與他親嘴。
46 Then [the crowd] seized Jesus.
他們就下手拿住他。
47 But one of the [disciples] who was standing nearby drew his short sword. He struck the servant of the high priest with it [to kill him, but he only] cut off his ear.
旁邊站着的人，有一個拔出刀來，將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀，削掉了他一個耳朵。
48 Jesus said to them, “([It is ridiculous that] you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit!/Have you come [here to seize] me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit [RHQ]?) Day after day I was with you in the Temple [courtyard] teaching [the people] Why did you not seize me then? [But this is happening] in order that [what the prophets have written in] the Scriptures [about me] may be fulfilled {may happen}.”
耶穌對他們說：「你們帶着刀棒出來拿我，如同拿強盜嗎？
我天天教訓人，同你們在殿裏，你們並沒有拿我。但這事成就，為要應驗經上的話。」
50 All [the disciples at once] left him and ran away.
門徒都離開他，逃走了。
51 At that time, (a young man/I) was following Jesus. He/[I was] wearing only a linen cloth around his/my body. The crowd seized him/me.
有一個少年人，赤身披着一塊麻布，跟隨耶穌，眾人就捉拿他。
52 But, [as he/I pulled away from them], he/I left behind the linen cloth [in their hands], and then he/I ran away naked.
他卻丟了麻布，赤身逃走了。
53 The men [who had seized] Jesus led him away to [the house where] the supreme priest [lived]. All of the Jewish Council were gathering [there].
他們把耶穌帶到大祭司那裏，又有眾祭司長和長老並文士都來和大祭司一同聚集。
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance. He went into the courtyard [of the house] where the supreme priest [lived], and sat there with the men who guarded [the house of the supreme priest]. He was warming himself beside a fire.
彼得遠遠地跟着耶穌，一直進入大祭司的院裏，和差役一同坐在火光裏烤火。
55 The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council [had already] tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus [in order that they could convince the Roman authorities] to execute him. But they did not succeed,
祭司長和全公會尋找見證控告耶穌，要治死他，卻尋不着。
56 because, although many people spoke lies about him, they contradicted each other.
因為有好些人作假見證告他，只是他們的見證各不相合。
57 [Finally], some stood up and accused him falsely by saying,
又有幾個人站起來作假見證告他，說：
58 “We heard him when he said, ‘I will destroy this Temple that was built by men, and then within three days I will build another temple (without help from anyone else/that human hands will not build).’”
「我們聽見他說：『我要拆毀這人手所造的殿，三日內就另造一座不是人手所造的。』」
59 But, what [some of] these men said also did not agree with [what others of them said].
他們就是這麼作見證，也是各不相合。
60 Then the supreme priest [himself] stood up in front of them and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] all the things that they are saying in order to accuse you?”
大祭司起來站在中間，問耶穌說：「你甚麼都不回答嗎？這些人作見證告你的是甚麼呢？」
61 But Jesus was silent and did not reply [DOU]. Then the supreme priest [tried again]. He asked him, “Are you the Messiah? [Do you say that you are] (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
耶穌卻不言語，一句也不回答。大祭司又問他說：「你是那當稱頌者的兒子基督不是？」
62 Jesus said, “I am. Furthermore, you will see me, the one who came from heaven, [ruling] beside God, who is completely powerful. [You will also see me] coming down through the clouds in the sky!”
耶穌說：「我是。你們必看見人子坐在那權能者的右邊，駕着天上的雲降臨。」
63 [In response to Jesus’ words], the supreme priest tore his outer garment. [That was their custom to show that he was shocked that Jesus had said that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “We certainly do not [RHQ] need any [more] people who will testify [against this man],
大祭司就撕開衣服，說：「我們何必再用見證人呢？
64 [because] you have heard what he said against God! [He claimed to be equal with God] Therefore, what have you decided?” They all said that Jesus was guilty and deserved (to be executed/that they should kill him).
你們已經聽見他這僭妄的話了。你們的意見如何？」他們都定他該死的罪。
65 Then some of them began spitting on Jesus. They put a blindfold on him, and then they began striking him and saying to him, “[If you are] a prophet, tell us [who hit you]!” And those who were guarding Jesus struck him with their hands.
就有人吐唾沫在他臉上，又蒙着他的臉，用拳頭打他，對他說：「你說預言吧！」差役接過他來，用手掌打他。
66 While Peter was outside in the courtyard [of the supreme priest’s house], one of the girls who worked for the supreme priest came [near him].
彼得在下邊院子裏；來了大祭司的一個使女，
67 When she saw Peter warming himself [beside the fire], she looked at him [closely]. Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth [town]!”
見彼得烤火，就看着他，說：「你素來也是同拿撒勒人耶穌一夥的。」
68 But he denied it by saying, “I do not know or understand [DOU] what you are talking about!” Then he went away [from there] to the gate [of the courtyard].
彼得卻不承認，說：「我不知道，也不明白你說的是甚麼。」於是出來，到了前院， 雞就叫了。
69 [The] servant girl saw him there and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of [those who have been with that man they arrested].”
那使女看見他，又對旁邊站着的人說：「這也是他們一黨的。」
70 But he denied it again. After a little while, one of those who were standing there said to Peter again, “[The way you speak shows that] you also are from Galilee [district]. So it is certain that you are one of those [who accompanied Jesus!]”
彼得又不承認。過了不多的時候，旁邊站着的人又對彼得說：「你真是他們一黨的！因為你是加利利人。」
71 But he began to exclaim, “I do not know the man that you are talking about! Because God knows that I am speaking truthfully, may he punish me [if I am lying]!”
彼得就發咒起誓地說：「我不認得你們說的這個人。」
72 Immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him [before], “Before the rooster crows a second time, you will deny three times [that you know me.” When he realized that he had denied it three times], he started crying.
立時雞叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶穌對他所說的話：「雞叫兩遍以先，你要三次不認我。」思想起來，就哭了。
