The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 14
{14:1} It was now two days before the feast of the Pesach and the
[1>]matzah[<1], and the chief [2>]Kohanim[<2] and the [3>]Sofrim[<3]
sought how they might sieze him by deception, and kill him. {14:2} For
they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the
people."
{14:3} While he was at Beit-Anyah, in the house of Shim`on the
leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of
ointment of pure nard -- very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it
over his head. {14:4} But there were some who were indignant among
themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted? {14:5} For
this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and
given to the poor." They grumbled against her.
{14:6} But Yeshua said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her?
She has done a good work for me. {14:7} For you always have the poor
with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will
not always have me. {14:8} She has done what she could. She has
anointed my body beforehand for the burying. {14:9} Most assuredly I
tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole
world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a
memorial of her."
{14:10} Yehudah from K'riot, who was one of the twelve, went away to
the chief [4>]Kohanim[<4], that he might deliver him to them. {14:11}
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money.
He sought how he might conveniently deliver him. {14:12} On the first
day of [5>]matzah[<5], when they sacrificed the Pesach, his
[6>]talmidim[<6] asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready
that you may eat the Pesach?"
{14:13} He sent two of his [7>]talmidim[<7], and said to them, "Go
into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of
water. Follow him, {14:14} and wherever he enters in, tell the master
of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, where I may
eat the Pesach with my [8>]talmidim[<8]?"' {14:15} He will himself
show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us
there."
{14:16} His [9>]talmidim[<9] went out, and came into the city, and
found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Pesach.
{14:17} When it was evening he came with the twelve. {14:18} As they
sat and were eating, Yeshua said, "Most assuredly I tell you, one of
you will betray me -- he who eats with me."
{14:19} They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one,
"Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"
{14:20} He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with
me in the dish. {14:21} For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written
about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It
would be better for that man if he had not been born."
{14:22} As they were eating, Yeshua took bread, and when he had
blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is
my body."
{14:23} He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to
them. They all drank of it. {14:24} He said to them, "This is my blood
of the new covenant, which is poured out for many. {14:25} Most
assuredly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine,
until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God." {14:26}
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
{14:27} Yeshua said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble
because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.' {14:28} However, after I am raised
up, I will go before you to the Galil."
{14:29} But Rock said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I
will not."
{14:30} Yeshua said to him, "Most assuredly I tell you, that you
today, even this night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me
three times."
{14:31} But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will
not deny you." They all said the same thing.
{14:32} They came to a place which was named Gat-Shemanim. He said
to his [10>]talmidim[<10], "Sit here, while I pray." {14:33} He took
with him Rock, Ya`akov, and Yochanan, and began to be greatly troubled
and distressed. {14:34} He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly
sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."
{14:35} He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed
that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. {14:36}
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove
this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
{14:37} He came and found them sleeping, and said to Rock, "Shim`on,
are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour? {14:38} Watch and pray,
that you not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak."
{14:39} Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
{14:40} Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes
were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him. {14:41} He
came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your
rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is
betrayed into the hands of sinners. {14:42} Arise, let us be going.
Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
{14:43} Immediately, while he was still speaking, Yehudah, one of
the twelve, came -- and with him a multitude with swords and clubs,
from the chief [11>]Kohanim[<11], the [12>]Sofrim[<12], and the
Zakenim. {14:44} Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign,
saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away
safely." {14:45} When he had come, immediately he came to him, and
said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him. {14:46} They laid their hands on
him, and seized him. {14:47} But a certain one of those who stood by
drew his sword, and struck the servant of the [13>]Kohen Gadol[<13],
and cut off his ear.
{14:48} Yeshua answered them, "Have you come out, as against a
robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? {14:49} I was daily with
you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so
that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
{14:50} They all left him, and fled. {14:51} A certain young man
followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his
naked body. The young men grabbed him, {14:52} but he left the linen
cloth, and fled from them naked. {14:53} They led Yeshua away to the
[14>]Kohen Gadol[<14]. All the chief [15>]Kohanim[<15], the Zakenim,
and the [16>]Sofrim[<16] came together with him.
{14:54} Rock had followed him from a distance, until he came into
the court of the [17>]Kohen Gadol[<17]. He was sitting with the
officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. {14:55} Now
the chief [18>]Kohanim[<18] and the whole council sought witnesses
against Yeshua to put him to death, and found none. {14:56} For many
gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree
with each other. {14:57} Some stood up, and gave false testimony
against him, saying, {14:58} "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this
temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another
made without hands.'" {14:59} Even so, their testimony did not agree.
{14:60} The [19>]Kohen Gadol[<19] stood up in the midst, and asked
Yeshua, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against
you?" {14:61} But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the
[20>]Kohen Gadol[<20] asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the
Blessed?"
{14:62} Yeshua said, "I AM. You will see the Son of Man sitting at
the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
{14:63} The [21>]Kohen Gadol[<21] tore his clothes, and said, "What
further need have we of witnesses? {14:64} You have heard the
blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of
death. {14:65} Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and
to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers
struck him with the palms of their hands.
{14:66} As Rock was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the
[22>]Kohen Gadol[<22] came, {14:67} and seeing Rock warming himself,
she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Natzri, Yeshua!"
{14:68} But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand
what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the cock crowed.
{14:69} The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood
by, "This is one of them." {14:70} But he again denied it. After a
little while again those who stood by said to Rock, "You truly are one
of them, for you are from the Galil, and your speech shows it."
{14:71} But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don't know this man of
whom you speak!" {14:72} The cock crowed the second time. Rock
remembered the word, how that Yeshua said to him, "Before the cock
crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about
that, he wept.
