Mark 14:26-52

261And after singing a 2hymn, they went out to 3the Mount of Olives.

274And Jesus said to them, “You will all 5fall away, because it is written: ‘6I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28But after I am raised, 7I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29But Peter said to Him, “Even if they all 8fall away, yet I will not!” 30And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that 910this very night, before 11a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31But 12Peter repeatedly said insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing as well.

3213They came to a place named 14Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.” 33And He took with Him Peter, 15James, and John, and began to be very 16distressed and troubled. 34And He said to them, “17My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and 18keep watch.” 35And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began praying that if it were possible, 19the hour might 20pass Him by. 36And He was saying, “21Abba! 22Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; 23yet not what I will, but what You will.” 37And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not 24keep watch for one hour? 382526Keep watching and praying, so that you will not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39And again He went away and prayed, saying the same 27words. 40And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say in reply to Him. 41And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough. 28The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being 29betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”

4330And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, 31accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who were from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. 44Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him and lead Him away 32under guard.” 45And after coming, Judas immediately went to Him and said, “33Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 46And they laid hands on Him and arrested Him. 47But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and 34cut off his ear. 48And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a man inciting a revolt? 49Every day I was with you 35within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me; but this has taken place so that the Scriptures will be fulfilled.” 50And 36His disciples all left Him and fled.

51A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they seized him. 52But he 37pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.
