riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

riversident@Mark:14:2 @ For they said, "Not at the feast; there might be a popular outbreak."

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

riversident@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said,

riversident@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the high priests to betray him to them.

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:13 @ So he sent two of his disciples, telling them,

riversident@Mark:14:14" />

riversident@Mark:14:15" />

riversident@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went and entered the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Mark:14:17 @ In the evening Jesus came with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:14:18 @ As they were reclining and eating, he said,

riversident@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sad and to say one to another, "It cannot be I?"

riversident@Mark:14:20 @ He said,

riversident@Mark:14:21" />

riversident@Mark:14:22 @ While they were eating, he took a loaf and blessed it and broke it and gave to them, saying,

riversident@Mark:14:23 @ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

riversident@Mark:14:24 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:25" />

riversident@Mark:14:26 @ After singing a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.

riversident@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:28" />

riversident@Mark:14:29 @ Peter said to him, "Though all should fail, yet I will not."

riversident@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Mark:14:31 @ But he kept saying more earnestly, "Though I have to die with you, I will not disown you." Just so they all said.

riversident@Mark:14:32 @ They came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples,

riversident@Mark:14:33 @ He took Peter and James and John with him and began to be in terror and distress.

riversident@Mark:14:34 @ He said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:36 @ He said,

riversident@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

riversident@Mark:14:38" />

riversident@Mark:14:39 @ Then he went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

riversident@Mark:14:40 @ Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to answer him.

riversident@Mark:14:41 @ He came back the third time and said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:42" />

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

riversident@Mark:14:44 @ The traitor had given them a sign, "The man I kiss, that is he. Seize him and take him safely away."

riversident@Mark:14:45 @ So when he came, he immediately advanced to Jesus and said, "Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

riversident@Mark:14:46 @ They laid their hands on him and held him.

riversident@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Mark:14:48 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:49" />

riversident@Mark:14:50 @ Then all his friends left him and fled.

riversident@Mark:14:51 @ There was a young man following him who had thrown a linen cloth around his naked body. They seized him,

riversident@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and fled naked.

riversident@Mark:14:53 @ They led Jesus away to the High Priest, and all the high priests and elders and scribes assembled.

riversident@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance and came inside the court of the High Priest and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself in the light of the fire.

riversident@Mark:14:55 @ The high priests and all the council tried to get testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any.

riversident@Mark:14:56 @ Many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree.

riversident@Mark:14:57 @ Then some rose and testified falsely against him,

riversident@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this Temple made by hands and in three days I will build another not made by hands.'

riversident@Mark:14:59 @ But their testimony did not agree even regarding this.

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:62 @ Jesus said,

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

riversident@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his impious words. How does it appear to you?" They all condemned him as deserving of death.

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:66 @ While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the High Priest came,

riversident@Mark:14:67 @ and when she saw Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, this Jesus."

riversident@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it and said, "I do not know nor understand what you are saying." Then he went out into the outer courtyard.

riversident@Mark:14:69 @ There the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood around, "This man is one of them."

riversident@Mark:14:70 @ But he again denied. Again after a little the men who were standing by said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilaean."

riversident@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are speaking of."

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.
