Mark 14
1 Now after two days was [the feast of] the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:
And after two days, was the passover of unleavened cakes. And the chief priests and the Scribes sought how they might take him by stratagem, and kill him.

But they said: Not on the festival, lest there be commotion among the people.
3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; [and] she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.
And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined, a woman came having an alabaster box of precious ointment of spikenard, of great price; and she opened and poured upon the head of Jesus.
4 But there were some that had indignation among themselves, [saying], To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?
And there were certain of the disciples, who were dissatisfied among themselves, and said: Why was this waste of the ointment?
5 For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and been given to the poor. And they were indignant at her.
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
But Jesus said: Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath done an excellent act towards me.
7 For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.
For the poor ye have always with you; and when ye please, ye can do them kind offices: but I am not always with you.
8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
What was in her power, she hath done; and by anticipation, hath perfumed my body, as if for burial.
9 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Verily I say to you, That wherever this my gospel shall be proclaimed, in all the world, this also which she hath done shall be told in memory of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, in order to betray Jesus to them.
11 And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him [unto them].
And when they heard him, they rejoiced; and they promised to give him money. And he sought for opportunity to betray him.
12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?
And on the first day of unleavened cakes, on which the Jews slay the passover, his disciples said to him: Where wilt thou that we go, and prepare for thee to eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;
And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them: Go ye to the city, and behold, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water. Go ye after him,
14 and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
and where he entereth in, say ye to the lord of the house: Our Rabbi saith, Where is the place of refreshment, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished [and] ready: and there make ready for us.
And lo, he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

18 And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, [even] he that eateth with me.
And as they reclined and ate, Jesus said: Verily I say to you, That one of you that eateth with me, will betray me.
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?
And they began to be distressed. And they said to him, one by one, Is it I?
20 And he said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.
And he said to them: It is one of the twelve that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed. Better would it have been for that man, if he had not been born.
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave to them. And they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.
And they sang praise, and went out to the mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
And Jesus said to them: All of you will this night be stumbled in me: for it is written, " I will smite the shepherd, and his sheep will be scattered."
28 Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
And when I am risen, I will precede you into Galilee.
29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
And Cephas said to him: Though they all should be stumbled, yet I will not be.
30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, [even] this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.
Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, That this day, on this night, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt thrice deny me.
31 But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.
And he said, in addition: If I were to die with thee, I will not deny thee, my Lord. And like him, spake all the disciples.
32 And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.
And they came to the place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.
And he took with him Cephas and James and John, and began to be gloomy and distressed.
34 And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.
And he said to them: My soul hath anguish, even to death. Wait for me here, and be watchful.
35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
And he advanced a little, and fell upon the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.
And he said: Father, my Father, thou canst do all things. Let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, but thine.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?
And he came and found them sleeping. And he said to Cephas: Sleepest thou, Simon? Couldst thou not watch with me one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit is willing and ready, but the body is weak.
39 And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
And he went again and prayed, speaking the same language.
40 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.
And returning he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they knew not what to say to him.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
And he came the third time, and said to them: Sleep on now, and take rest. The end is near; the hour is come; and lo, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
Arise ye; let us go. Lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
And while he was yet speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and much people, with swords and clubs, from before the chief priests and Scribes and Elders
44 Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
And the traitor who betrayed him, had given them a sign, and said: He whom I shall kiss is the man. Seize promptly, and lead him away
45 And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.
And immediately he came up, and said to him: Rabbi, Rabbi; and kissed him.
46 And they laid hands on him, and took him.
And they laid hands on him and took him.
47 But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?
And Jesus answered and said to them: Have ye come out against me, as against a robber; with swords and clubs, to apprehend me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but [this is done] that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
I was daily with you, while I taught in the temple, and ye seized me not. But this occurs, that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

Then his disciples left him and fled.
51 And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over [his] naked [body]: and they lay hold on him;
And a young man followed after him, who was clad with a linen cloth on his naked body: and they laid hold of him.
52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
And they led away Jesus to Caiaphas the high priest. And with him were assembled all the chief priests and the Scribes and the Elders.
54 And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light [of the fire].
And Simon followed after him, at a distance; into the hall of the high priest; and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not.
And the chief priests and all the assembly sought for testimony against Jesus, to put him to death: but they found it not.
56 For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.
For while many testified against him, their testimonies were inadequate.
57 And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
And some false witnesses stood up against him, and said:
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.
We have heard him say: I will destroy this temple, which is made with hands; and in three days I will build another not made with hands.
59 And not even so did their witness agree together.
Nor even thus were their testimonies adequate.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
And the high priest arose in the midst, and interrogated Jesus and said: Returnest thou no answer? What do these testify against thee?
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
And Jesus was silent, and made no reply. And again the chief priest interrogated him, and said: Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
And Jesus said to him: I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and he will come on the clouds of heaven.
63 And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?
And the high priest rent his tunic, and said: What need of witnesses have we, any more?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Behold, from his own mouth ye have heard blasphemy. How doth it appear to you? And they all decided, that he deserved to die.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.
And some began to spit in his face, and to buffet him, saying: Prophesy thou. And the servants smote him on the cheeks.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;
And as Simon was below in the court, a maid of the high priest came,
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, [even] Jesus.
and saw him warming himself; and she looked upon him, and said to him: And thou too wast with Jesus the Nazarean.
68 But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
But he denied, and said: l know not what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.
And the maid saw him again, and she began to say to those standing by, This man also is one of them.
70 But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, Of a truth thou art [one] of them; for thou art a Galilæan.
And he again denied it. And a little after, those standing there said again to Cephas: Surely, thou art one of them; for thou art likewise a Galilean, and thy speech answers to it.
71 But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
And he began to imprecate, and swore: I know not that man, of whom ye speak.
72 And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Simon remembered the declaration of Jesus, who said to him: Before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he began to weep.
