Mark 14

¹And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.

²For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.

³And when he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster bottle of ointment of pure spikenard, very precious; and breaking the bottle, she poured it on his head.

⁴And there were some that were much displeased, [and said] among themselves, Why is this waste of the ointment made?

⁵For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor. And they chid her harshly.

⁶But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? A good deed hath she done for me.

⁷For the poor ye have always with you, and whenever ye will, ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always.

⁸She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for its burial.

⁹And truly do I say to you, Wherever the glad tidings shall be published throughout the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her.

¹⁰And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, that he might deliver him up to them.

¹¹And they when they heard it were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.

¹²And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?

¹³And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him;

¹⁴and wherever he goeth in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

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

¹⁶And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had told them; and they made ready the passover.

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

¹⁸And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me,—one that is eating with me.

¹⁹They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?

²⁰And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one that is dipping with me in the dish.

²¹For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it for that man if he had not been born.

²²And as they were eating, he took a loaf, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is my body.

²³And he took a cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.

²⁴And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.

²⁵Truly do I say to you, I shall not drink hereafter of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁷And Jesus saith to them, Ye will all fall away from me; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered."

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

²⁹But Peter said to him, Even if all shall fall away, yet will not I.

³⁰And Jesus saith to him, Truly do I say to thee, that even thou, to-day, on this night, before a cock crow twice, wilt thrice deny me.

³¹But he spoke the more vehemently: If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And so also said they all.

³²And they come to a place called Gethsemane; and he saith to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.

³³And he taketh with him Peter and James and John; and began to be in great consternation and anguish.

³⁴And he saith to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.

³⁵And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.

³⁶And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee! take away this cup 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 not thou watch one hour?

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

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

⁴⁰And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

⁴¹And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, Sleep on, and take your rest! It is enough! the hour is come: lo! the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

⁴²Rise, let us be going; lo! he that delivereth me up is at hand.

⁴³And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and elders.

⁴⁴And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him, and lead him away securely.

⁴⁵And on coming he immediately went up to him, and said, Rabbi! and kissed him.

⁴⁶And they laid hands on him and seized him.

⁴⁷And one of those who stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸And Jesus answering said to them, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me.

⁴⁹I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [thus it is], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.

⁵⁰And all forsook him and fled.

⁵¹And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him.

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

⁵³And they led Jesus away to the high-priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.

⁵⁴And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the high-priest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.

⁵⁵And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.

⁵⁶For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together.

⁵⁷And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

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

⁵⁹And not even so did their testimony agree.

⁶⁰And the high-priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee?

⁶¹But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high-priest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

⁶²And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶³Then the high-priest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶⁴Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death.

⁶⁵And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge.

⁶⁶And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the high-priest;

⁶⁷and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.

⁶⁸But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crew.

⁶⁹And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them.

⁷⁰And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

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

⁷²And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

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.
