Mark:14:1 @
It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread :
and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death :
bbe @
Mark:14:2 @
But they said ,
Not while the feast is going on ,
for fear there may be trouble among the people .
bbe @
Mark:14:3 @
And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper ,
seated at table ,
there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price ;
and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head .
bbe @
Mark:14:4 @
But some of them were angry among themselves ,
saying ,
For what purpose has this oil been wasted ?
bbe @
Mark:14:5 @
We might have got more than three hundred pence for it ,
and given the money to the poor .
And they said things against her among themselves .
bbe @
Mark:14:6 @
But Jesus said ,
Let her be ;
why are you troubling her ?
she has done a kind act to me .
bbe @
Mark:14:7 @
The poor you have ever with you ,
and whenever you have the desire you may do them good :
but me you have not for ever .
bbe @
Mark:14:8 @
She has done what she was able :
she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place .
bbe @
Mark:14:9 @
And truly I say to you ,
Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth ,
what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her .
bbe @
Mark:14:10 @
And Judas Iscariot ,
who was one of the twelve ,
went away to the chief priests ,
so that he might give him up to them .
bbe @
Mark:14:11 @
And hearing what he said ,
they were glad ,
and gave him their word to make him a payment of money .
And he took thought how he might best give him up to them .
bbe @
Mark:14:12 @
And on the first day of unleavened bread ,
when the Passover lamb is put to death ,
his disciples said to him ,
Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal ?
bbe @
Mark:14:13 @
And he sent two of his disciples ,
and said to them ,
Go into the town ,
and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water :
go after him ;
bbe @
Mark:14:14 @
And wherever he goes in ,
say to the owner of the house ,
The Master says ,
Where is my guest-room ,
where I may take the Passover with my disciples ?
bbe @
Mark:14:15 @
And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats :
there make ready for us .
bbe @
Mark:14:16 @
And the disciples went out and came into the town ,
and saw that it was as he had said :
and they made ready the Passover .
bbe @
Mark:14:17 @
And when it was evening he came with the twelve
bbe @
Mark:14:18 @
And while they were seated taking food ,
Jesus said ,
Truly I say to you ,
One of you will be false to me ,
one who is taking food with me .
bbe @
Mark:14:19 @
They were sad ,
and said to him one by one ,
Is it I ?
bbe @
Mark:14:20 @
And he said to them ,
It is one of the twelve ,
one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate .
bbe @
Mark:14:21 @
The Son of man goes ,
even as the Writings say of him :
but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up !
It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth .
bbe @
Mark:14:22 @
And while they were taking food ,
he took bread ,
and after blessing it ,
he gave the broken bread to them ,
and said ,
Take it :
this is my body .
bbe @
Mark:14:23 @
And he took a cup ,
and when he had given praise ,
he gave it to them :
and they all had a drink from it .
bbe @
Mark:14:24 @
And he said to them ,
This is my blood of the testament ,
which is given for men .
bbe @
Mark:14:25 @
Truly I say to you ,
I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God .
bbe @
Mark:14:26 @
And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives .
bbe @
Mark:14:27 @
And Jesus said to them ,
You will all be turned away from me :
for it is in the Writings ,
I will put the keeper of the sheep to death ,
and the sheep will be put to flight .
bbe @
Mark:14:28 @
But after I have come back from the dead ,
I will go before you into Galilee .
bbe @
Mark:14:29 @
But Peter said to him ,
Though the others may be turned away from you ,
I will not .
bbe @
Mark:14:30 @
And Jesus said to him ,
Truly ,
I say to you that you ,
today ,
even this night ,
before the cock '
s second cry ,
will say three times that you have no knowledge of me .
bbe @
Mark:14:31 @
But he said with passion ,
If I have to be put to death with you ,
I will not be false to you .
And they all said the same .
bbe @
Mark:14:32 @
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane :
and he said to his disciples ,
Be seated here while I say a prayer .
bbe @
Mark:14:33 @
And he took with him Peter and James and John ,
and grief and great trouble came on him .
bbe @
Mark:14:34 @
And he said to them ,
My soul is very sad ,
even to death :
be here a little time ,
and keep watch .
bbe @
Mark:14:35 @
And he went forward a little ,
and falling down on the earth ,
made request that ,
if possible ,
the hour might go from him .
bbe @
Mark:14:36 @
And he said ,
Abba ,
Father ,
all things are possible to you ;
take away this cup from me :
but even so let not my pleasure ,
but yours be done .
bbe @
Mark:14:37 @
And he came ,
and saw them sleeping ,
and said to Peter ,
Simon ,
are you sleeping ?
were you not able to keep watch one hour ?
bbe @
Mark:14:38 @
Keep watch with prayer ,
so that you may not be put to the test ;
the spirit truly is ready ,
but the flesh is feeble .
bbe @
Mark:14:39 @
And again he went away ,
and said a prayer ,
using the same words .
bbe @
Mark:14:40 @
And again he came and saw them sleeping ,
because their eyes were very tired ;
and they had nothing to say in answer .
bbe @
Mark:14:41 @
And he came the third time ,
and said to them ,
Go on sleeping now and take your rest :
it is enough ;
the hour has come ;
see ,
the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men .
bbe @
Mark:14:42 @
Get up ,
let us be going ;
see ,
he who gives me up is near .
bbe @
Mark:14:43 @
And straight away ,
while he was still talking ,
Judas ,
one of the twelve ,
came ,
and with him a great band with swords and sticks ,
from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority .
bbe @
Mark:14:44 @
Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign ,
saying ,
The one to whom I give a kiss ,
that is he ;
take him ,
and get him away safely .
bbe @
Mark:14:45 @
And when he had come ,
he went straight to him and said ,
Master ;
and gave him a kiss .
bbe @
Mark:14:46 @
And they put their hands on him ,
and took him .
bbe @
Mark:14:47 @
But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword ,
and gave the servant of the high priest a blow ,
cutting off his ear .
bbe @
Mark:14:48 @
And Jesus said to them ,
Have you come out as against a thief ,
with swords and sticks to take me ?
bbe @
Mark:14:49 @
I was with you every day in the Temple teaching ,
and you did not take me ;
but this is done so that the Writings may come true .
bbe @
Mark:14:50 @
And they all went away from him in fear .
bbe @
Mark:14:51 @
And a certain young man went after him ,
with only a linen cloth about his body ;
and they put their hands on him ;
bbe @
Mark:14:52 @
But he got away unclothed ,
without the linen cloth .
bbe @
Mark:14:53 @
And they took Jesus away to the high priest ;
and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes .
bbe @
Mark:14:54 @
And Peter had come after him at a distance ,
even into the house of the high priest ;
and he was seated with the captains ,
warming himself in the light of the fire .
bbe @
Mark:14:55 @
Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death ;
and they were unable to get any .
bbe @
Mark:14:56 @
For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement .
bbe @
Mark:14:57 @
Then some got up and gave false witness against him ,
saying ,
bbe @
Mark:14:58 @
He said in our hearing ,
I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands ,
and in three days I will make another without hands .
bbe @
Mark:14:59 @
And even so their witness was not in agreement .
bbe @
Mark:14:60 @
And the high priest got up in the middle of them ,
and said to Jesus ,
Do you say nothing in answer ?
what is it which these say against you ?
bbe @
Mark:14:61 @
But he kept quiet and said nothing .
Again the high priest questioning him said ,
Are you the Christ ,
the son of the Holy One ?
bbe @
Mark:14:62 @
And Jesus said ,
I am :
and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power ,
and coming with the clouds of heaven .
bbe @
Mark:14:63 @
And the high priest ,
violently parting his robes ,
said ,
What more need have we of witnesses ?
bbe @
Mark:14:64 @
His words against God have come to your ears :
what is your opinion ?
And they all said it was right for him to be put to death .
bbe @
Mark:14:65 @
And some put shame on him and ,
covering his face ,
gave him blows and said to him ,
Now say what is to come :
and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands .
bbe @
Mark:14:66 @
And while Peter was down in the open square of the building ,
one of the servant-girls of the high priest came ;
bbe @
Mark:14:67 @
And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire ,
she gave him a look ,
and said ,
You were with this Nazarene ,
even Jesus .
bbe @
Mark:14:68 @
But he said ,
I have no knowledge of him ,
or of what you are saying :
and he went out into the doorway ;
and there came the cry of a cock .
bbe @
Mark:14:69 @
And the girl saw him ,
and said again to those who were near ,
This is one of them .
bbe @
Mark:14:70 @
But again he said it was not so .
And after a little time ,
again those who were near said to Peter ,
Truly you are one of them ;
for you are a Galilaean .
bbe @
Mark:14:71 @
But ,
with curses and oaths ,
he said ,
I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking .
bbe @
Mark:14:72 @
And in the same minute ,
the cock gave a second cry .
And it came to Peter '
s mind how Jesus had said to him ,
Before the cock '
s second cry ,
you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me .
And at this thought he was overcome with weeping .
