Mark 14

¹Now the feast of the pasch and of the Azymes was after two days: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him and kill him.

²But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people.

³And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard. And breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head.

⁴Now there were some that had indignation within themselves and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made?

⁵For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

⁶But Jesus said: Let her alone. Why do You molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me.

⁷For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always.

⁸She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for the burial.

⁹Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memorial of her.

¹⁰And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.

¹¹Who hearing it were glad: and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

¹²Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee to eat the pasch?

¹³And he sendeth two of his disciples and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him.

¹⁴And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?

¹⁵And he will shew you a large dining room furnished. And there prepare ye for us.

¹⁶And his disciples went their way and came into the city. And they found as he had told them: and they prepared the pasch.

¹⁷And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.

¹⁸And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me.

¹⁹But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is it I?

²⁰Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish.

²¹And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born.

²²And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body.

²³And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.

²⁴And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.

²⁵Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶And when they had sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives.

²⁷And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed.

²⁸But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, yet not I.

³⁰And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to-day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³¹But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.

³²And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray.

³³And he taketh Peter and James and John with him: and he began to fear and to be heavy.

³⁴And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch.

³⁵And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground: and he prayed that, if it might be, the hour might pass from him.

³⁶And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.

³⁷And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour?

³⁸Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him.

⁴¹And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴²Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.

⁴³And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

⁴⁴And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away carefully.

⁴⁵And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail, Rabbi! And he kissed him.

⁴⁶But they laid hands on him and held him.

⁴⁷And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?

⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

⁵⁰Then his disciples, leaving him, all fled away.

⁵¹And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body. And they laid hold on him.

⁵²But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.

⁵³And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.

⁵⁴And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none.

⁵⁶For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were not agreeing.

⁵⁷And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:

⁵⁸We heard him say, I Will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.

⁵⁹And their witness did not agree.

⁶⁰And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?

⁶¹But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?

⁶²And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?

⁶⁴You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.

⁶⁵And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet him and to say unto him: Prophesy. And the servants struck him with the palms their hands.

⁶⁶Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.

⁶⁷And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁶⁸But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.

⁶⁹And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.

⁷⁰But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.

⁷¹But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.

⁷²And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep,

Mark 14

¹After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

²But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

³And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

⁴And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

⁵For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

⁶And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

⁷For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

⁸She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

⁹Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

¹⁰And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

¹¹And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

¹²And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

¹³And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

¹⁴And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹⁵And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

¹⁶And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

¹⁷And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

¹⁸And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

²⁰And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

²¹The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

²²And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

²³And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

²⁴And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

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

²⁶And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

²⁷And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

²⁸But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

³⁰And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³¹But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

³²And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

³³And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

³⁴And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

³⁵And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

³⁶And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

³⁷And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

³⁸Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

⁴⁰And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

⁴¹And 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.

⁴²Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

⁴³And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

⁴⁴And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁵And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

⁴⁶And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

⁴⁷And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

⁵⁰And they all forsook him, and fled.

⁵¹And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

⁵²And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

⁵³And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

⁵⁴And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

⁵⁶For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

⁵⁷And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

⁵⁸We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

⁵⁹But neither so did their witness agree together.

⁶⁰And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

⁶¹But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto 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 power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶³Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

⁶⁴Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

⁶⁵And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

⁶⁶And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

⁶⁷And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁶⁸But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

⁶⁹And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

⁷⁰And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

⁷¹But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

⁷²And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
