Mark 14
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the High Priests and Scribes were bent on finding how to seize Him by stratagem and put Him to death.
BUT after two days was the Petscha of unleavened cakes: and the chief priests and the Sophree sought how with guile they might apprehend and kill him.
2 But they said, "Not on the Festival-day, for fear there should be a riot among the people."
And they said, Not on the festival, lest there be a commotion among the people.
3 Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.
And when he was at Bethania in the house of Shemun the leper, as he reclined, there came a woman who had with her a vase of the balsam of the choicest nard of great prices; and she opened it, and poured it upon the head of Jeshu.
4 But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, "Why has the ointment been thus wasted?
But there were men of the disciples who were displeased among themselves, and said, Why make destruction of this balsam?
5 For that ointment might have been sold for fifteen pounds or more, and the money have been given to the poor." And they were exceedingly angry with her.
for it could have been sold for more than three hundred dinoreen, and given to the poor. And they were angry with her.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone: why are you troubling her? She has done a most gracious act towards me.
But he, Jeshu, said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? A good work hath she wrought upon me.
7 For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you choose you can do acts of kindness to them; but me you have not always.
For in all time you have the poor with you, and, when you will, you can do them good; but I am not at all time with you.
8 What she could she did: she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial.
(With) that which was hers she hath done this, and beforehand as for the funeral she hath anointed my body.
9 And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her."
And Amen I say to you, That wheresoever my gospel shall be preached in the whole world, this also which she hath now done shall be told in memorial of her.
10 But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them.
But Jihuda Scarjuta, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray Jeshu to them:
11 They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.
and they when they had heard rejoiced, and promised silver to give him. And he sought to him opportunity to betray him.
12 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
And the first day of the unleavened bread, in which the Jihudoyee sacrifice the Petscha, the disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go to prepare for thee to eat the Petscha?
13 So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,
And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go to the city, and, observe, a man meeteth you bearing a vessel of waters. Go after him;
14 and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
and when he hath entered, say to the house-lord, Our Master saith, Where is the place of feasting, where I can eat with my disciples the Petscha?
15 Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us."
And, behold, he showeth you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had told them: and they prepared the Petscha.
17 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve.
And when it was evening he came with his twelve.
18 And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me."
And as they reclined and ate, Jeshu said to them, Amen I tell you, That one of you who eateth with me shall betray me.
19 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?"
But they began to be sad, and said to him one, one, Is it I?
20 "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me.
But he said to them, One of the twelve who dippeth with me in the dish.
21 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born."
And the Son of man goeth, as it is written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom is betrayed the Son of man! It had been better for that man if he had not been born.
22 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body."
And while they were eating, Jeshu took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them, and said to them, Take; this is my body.
23 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.
And he took the cup, and praised and blessed, and gave to them; and they drank of it, all of them.
24 "This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure.
And he said to them, This is my blood of the new Covenant, which for many is shed.
25 I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God."
Amen I say to you, That again I will not drink from the fruit of the vine till that day in which I will drink it newly in the kingdom of Aloha.
26 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
And they praised, and went forth to the mount of Olives.
27 Then said Jesus to them, "All of you are about to stumble and fall, for it is written, 'I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered in all directions.'
AND Jeshu said to them, All of you will be offended with me in this night: for it is written, I will strike the Shepherd, and scattered shall be his sheep.
28 But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."
But when I have arisen, I go before you into Galila.
29 "All may stumble and fall," said Peter, "yet I never will."
Kipha saith to him, If all shall be offended with thee, yet I (will) not.
30 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three times disown me."
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I tell thee, That thou, to-day, in this (very) night, before the cock shall crow, three times wilt deny me.
31 "Even if I must die with you," declared Peter again and again, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested also all the disciples.
But he the more said, If I shall die with thee, I will not deny thee, my Lord. And so also all of the disciples said.
32 So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
And they came to the place which is called Gedsimon; and he said to his disciples, Sit here until I have prayed.
33 Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,
And he took with him Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon, and began to be sorrowful and agonized.
34 and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
And he said to them, My soul is afflicted unto death; wait for me here, and be watchful.
35 Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;
And he removed a little, and fell upon the earth, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."
And he said, Father, my Father, thou canst (do) every thing, cause to pass from me this cup: but not my will, but thine.
37 Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?
And he came and found them sleeping: and he said to Kipha, Shemun, dost thou sleep? couldst thou not one hour watch?
38 Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
Be wakeful and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing and ready, but the body is infirm.
39 He again went away and prayed, using the very same words.
And he went again, prayed, and said that word.
40 When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.
And he turned again, came and found them sleeping, because their eyes were made heavy, and they knew not what to say to him.
41 A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.
And he came three times (the third time), and said to them, Sleep on, and be at rest. The end approacheth, and the hour cometh, and, behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."
Arise, we will go; behold, he draweth nigh who betrayeth me.
43 Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.
And while he was speaking, Jihuda Scarjuta, one of the twelve, came, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the Sophree and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away."
And the traitor who betrayed had given to them a sign, and said, He whom I shall kiss is He: take him carefully and lead him.
45 So he came, and going straight to Jesus he said, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him with seeming affection;
And immediately he approached, and said to him, Rabi, Rabi, and kissed him.
46 whereupon they laid hands on Him and held Him firmly.
Then they laid on him their hands and seized him.
47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck a blow at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.
But one of those who stood drew a sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and took off his ear.
48 "Have you come out," said Jesus, "with swords and cudgels to arrest me, as if you had to fight with a robber?
But Jeshu answered and said to them, As against a robber are you come out against me, with swords and with staves to apprehend me?
49 Day after day I used to be among you in the Temple teaching, and you never seized me. But this is happening in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.'
Every day with you was I teaching in the temple, and ye did not take me; but to fulfil the scriptures this is done.
50 Then His friends all forsook Him and fled.
Then his disciples forsook him and fled.
51 One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,
But a certain youth followed him, and he was covered (with) a linen cloth, naked; and they laid hold on him:
52 but he left the linen cloth in their hands and fled without it.
but he left the linen cloth, and escaped naked.
53 So they led Jesus away to the High Priest, and with him there assembled all the High Priests, Elders, and Scribes.
And they led Jeshu to Kaiapha, chief of the priests: and were gathered together to him all the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance, as far as the outer court of the High Priest's palace. But there he remained sitting among the officers, and warming himself by the fire.
But Shemun from afar came after him, until within the court of the chief of the priests: and he sat with the servants, and warmed (himself) at the fire.
55 Meanwhile the High Priests and the entire Sanhedrin were endeavouring to get evidence against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but could find none;
But the chief priests and all the assembly of them sought against Jeshu testimony to put him to death, but they found not.
56 for though many gave false testimony against Him, their statements did not tally.
For when many bore witness against him, their testimonies were not equal.
57 Then some came forward as witnesses and falsely declared,
But men rose up against him, witnesses of falsehood, and said,
58 "We have heard him say, 'I will pull down this Sanctuary built by human hands, and three days afterwards I will erect another built without hands.'"
We heard him say, I dissolve this temple which is made with hands, and in three days I build another not made with hands.
59 But not even in this shape was their testimony consistent.
But neither so was their testimony equal.
60 At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"
And the chief of the priests arose in the midst, and questioned Jeshu, and said, Returnest thou no answer? what witness against thee these?
61 But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" he said.
But Jeshu was silent, and answered him nothing. And again the chief of the priests demanded, and said, Art thou the Meshicha, the Son of the Blessed?
62 "I am," replied Jesus, "and you and others will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the divine Power, and coming amid the clouds of the sky."
And he, Jeshu, said to him, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
63 Rending his garments the High Priest exclaimed, "What need have we of witnesses after that?
Then the chief of the priests tore his robe, and said, Why now seek we witnesses?
64 You all heard his impious words. What is your judgement?" Then with one voice they condemned Him as deserving of death.
Behold, from his own lips you have heard the blasphemy: how is it seen by you? And they all judged that he was guilty of death.
65 Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, "Prove that you are a prophet." The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.
And some began to spit on his person, and they struck him on his face, and did buffet him, saying, Prophesy! and the servitors struck him upon his cheeks.
66 Now while Peter was below in the quadrangle, one of the High Priest's maidservants came,
And Shemun being below in the court, there came a certain damsel of the chief of the priests.
67 and seeing Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Nazarene."
She saw him as he warmed (himself), and knew him, saying to him, Thou also wast with Jeshu Natsroia.
68 But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.
But he denied, and said, I know not what thou sayest. And he went without into the vestibule; and the cock crew.
69 Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."
And again that damsel saw him, and she began to say to those who were standing, This man is also of them.
70 A second time he repeatedly denied it. Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, "You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean."
But he again denied. And after a little while those who stood said to Kipha, Assuredly thou art from them, for thou art also a Galiloia, and thy speech is similar.
71 But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, "I know nothing of the man you are talking about."
But he began to imprecate and to swear, I know not this man of whom thou speakest. And in the hour the cock crew the second time.
72 No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, "Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me." And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.
And Shemun remembered the word that Jeshu had spoken to him, That before the cock should crow twice, three times thou shalt deny me. And he began to weep.
