Mark 14
Revised Geneva Translation
14 And two days before the Feast of the Passover, and of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and scribes sought how they might take Jesus secretly, and put Him to death.
2 “But,” they said, “Not on the feast day, or else there may be unrest among the people.”
3 And when He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at table, there came a woman with a box of ointment (of spikenard, very costly). And she broke the box and poured it on His head.
4 Therefore some whispered angrily among themselves, and said, “To what end is this waste of ointment?
5 “For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denari, and the money given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble yourselves with her? She has done a good work for Me.
7 “For you have the poor with you always. And when you will you may do them good. But Me you shall not have always.
8 “She has done what she could. She came beforehand to anoint My body for the burying.
9 “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done, shall be spoken of in remembrance of her.”
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, to betray Him to them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. Therefore, he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
12 Now the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, His disciples said to Him, “Where will You have us go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”
13 Then He sent forth two of His disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man shall meet you bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him.
14 “And wherever he goes in, say to the good man of the house, ‘The Master says, “Where is the lodging where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
15 “And he will show you an upper chamber, which is large, trimmed and prepared. Make it ready for us there.”
16 So His disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found all as He had said to them, and made ready the Passover.
17 And in the evening, He came with the twelve.
18 And as they sat at table and ate, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you who eats with Me shall betray Me.”
19 Then they began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
20 And He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve who dips with Me in the platter.
21 “Truly the Son of Man goes His way, as it is written of Him. But woe be to that man, by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for that man if he had never been born.”
22 And as they ate, Jesus took the bread. And when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them and said, “Take. Eat. This is My body.”
23 Also, He took the cup. And when He had given thanks, He gave it to them. And they all drank of it.
24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many.
25 “Truly I say to 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.”
26 And when they had sung a Psalm, they went out to the mount of Olives.
27 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you shall desert Me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’
28 “But after I am risen, I will go into Galilee before you.”
29 And Peter said to Him, “Although all men should desert You, yet would not I!”
30 Then Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, this day, even this night, before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.”
31 But he said more earnestly, “If I should die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said they all.
32 Afterward, they came into a place named Gethsemane. Then He said to His disciples, “Sit here, till I have prayed.”
33 And He took with him Peter, and James, and John. And He began to be troubled and in great heaviness.
34 And He said to them, “My soul is very heavy, even to the death. Wait here, and watch.”
35 So He went forward a little, and fell down on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible that hour might pass from Him.
36 And He said, “Abba, Father. All things are possible for You. Take away this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that You will, be done.”
37 Then He came, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon! Asleep? Could you not watch one hour!?
38 “Watch. And pray. So that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh is weak.”
39 And again He went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words.
40 And He returned and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy, nor did they know what they should answer Him.
41 And 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 delivered into the hands of sinners.
42 “Rise up! Let us go! Lo, he who betrays Me is here!”
43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, came Judas (who was one of the twelve) and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priests and scribes and elders.
44 And he who betrayed Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whoever I shall kiss, it is He. Take Him and lead Him away safely.”
45 And as soon as he had come, he went immediately to Him, and said, “Hail, Master,” and kissed Him.
46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him.
47 And one of them who stood by drew out a sword and struck a servant of the High Priest and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said to them, “You’ve come out as against a thief, with swords and with clubs, to take Me.
49 “I was with you daily, teaching in the Temple, and you did not take Me. But this is done so that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”
50 Then they all deserted Him and fled.
51 And a certain young man followed Him, clothed in linen upon his bare body. And they seized him.
52 But he left his linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53 So they led Jesus away to the High Priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together to Him.
54 And Peter followed Him at a distance, even into the hall of the High Priest, and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put Him to death but found none.
56 For many bore false witness against Him. But their testimonies did not agree.
57 Then some of them arose and bore false witness against Him, saying,
58 “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple made with hands. And within three days I will build another, made without hands.’”
59 But their testimonies did not agree.
60 Then the High Priest stood up amongst them and asked Jesus, saying, “Answer You nothing? Why should these bear witness against You?”
61 But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again, the High Priest asked Him and said to Him, “Are you the Christ; the Son of the Blessed?”
62 And Jesus said, “I am He. And you shall see the Son of Man sit at the right hand of power, coming in the clouds of Heaven.”
63 Then the High Priest tore his clothes, and said, “What have we anymore need of witnesses?!
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think!?” And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death.
65 And some began to spit at Him, and to cover His face, and to beat Him with fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the sergeants slapped Him.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the hall, one of the maids of the High Priest came.
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I do not know Him. Nor do I understand what you say.” Then he went out onto the porch. And the cock crew.
69 Then another maid saw him and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
70 But he denied it again. And soon after, those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them! For you are of Galilee! And your speech is similar!”
71 And he began to curse, and swear, saying, “I do not know this Man of Whom you speak!”
72 Then the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.’ And feeling the weight of that, he wept.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany(A)(B)(C)
14 Now the Passover(D) and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.(E) 2 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.”
3 While he was in Bethany,(F) reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.(G)
4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages[a] and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will always have with you,[b] and you can help them any time you want.(H) But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.(I) 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world,(J) what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve,(K) went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.(L) 11 They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper(M)(N)
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb,(O) Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs,(P) furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”
20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me.(Q) 21 The Son of Man(R) will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(S) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.(T)
24 “This is my blood of the[c] covenant,(U) which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”(V)
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(W)
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(X)
27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:
28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(Z)
29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[e] you yourself will disown me three times.”(AA)
31 But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you,(AB) I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Gethsemane(AC)
32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John(AD) along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,”(AE) he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour(AF) might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[f] Father,”(AG) he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup(AH) from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”(AI)
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AJ) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(AK)
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour(AL) has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested(AM)
43 Just as he was speaking, Judas,(AN) one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!”(AO) and kissed him. 46 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts,(AP) and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”(AQ) 50 Then everyone deserted him and fled.(AR)
51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(AS)(AT)
53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest.(AU) There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.(AV)
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(AW) were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,(AX) not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.(AY)
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”(AZ)
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”(BA)
63 The high priest tore his clothes.(BB) “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death.(BC) 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.(BD)
Peter Disowns Jesus(BE)
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard,(BF) one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself,(BG) she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,”(BH) she said.
68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,”(BI) he said, and went out into the entryway.[g]
69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.(BJ)
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”(BK)
71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”(BL)
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[h] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[i] you will disown me three times.”(BM) And he broke down and wept.
