Mark 14:1-42

11NowG1161 2the PassoverG3957 and Festival of UnleavenedG106 BreadG106 were twoG1417 daysG2250 awayG3326; and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 3were seekingG2212 howG4459 to arrestG2902 Him covertlyG1388 and killG615 Him; 2for they were sayingG3004, “Not duringG1722 the festivalG1859, otherwiseG3379 there will be a riotG2351 of the peopleG2992.”

34While He was in 5BethanyG963 at the homeG3614 of SimonG4613 6the LeperG3015, He was recliningG2621 at the table, and a womanG1135 cameG2064 with an alabasterG211 vialG211 of veryG4185 7expensiveG4185 perfumeG3464 of pureG4101 8nardG3487. She brokeG4937 the vialG211 and pouredG2708 the perfume overG2708 His headG2776. 4But there were someG5100 indignantlyG23 remarking to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “WhyG1519G5101 has thisG3778 perfumeG3464 beenG1096 wastedG684? 5For thisG3778 perfumeG3464 couldG1410 have been soldG4097 for overG1883 threeG5145 hundredG5145 9denariiG1220, and the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434.” And they were scoldingG1690 her. 6But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “LeaveG863 her aloneG863! WhyG5101 are you botheringG2873G3930 her? She has doneG2038 a goodG2570 deedG2041 for Me. 7For you alwaysG3842 haveG2192 10the poorG4434 with you, and wheneverG3752 you wantG2309, you canG1410 doG4160 goodG2095 to them; but you do not alwaysG3842 haveG2192 Me. 8She has doneG4160 whatG3739 she couldG2192; 11she has anointedG3462 My bodyG4983 beforehandG4301 for the burialG1780. 9TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 12whereverG3699G1437 the gospelG2098 is preachedG2784 in the entireG3650 worldG2889, whatG3588 thisG3778 womanG3778 has doneG4160 will alsoG2532 be toldG2980 in memoryG3422 of her.”

1013ThenG2532 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, 14whoG3588 was oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, wentG565 offG565 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 15betrayG3860 Him to them. 11They were delightedG5463 when they heardG191 this, and promisedG1861 to giveG1325 him moneyG694. And he began seekingG2212 howG4459 to betrayG3860 Him at an opportuneG2122 timeG2122.

1216On the firstG4413 dayG2250 of 1718UnleavenedG106 BreadG106, whenG3753 19the PassoverG3957 lamb was being 20sacrificedG2380, His disciplesG3101 saidG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226 do You wantG2309 us to goG565 and prepareG2090 for You to eatG2068 the PassoverG3957?” 13And He sentG649 twoG1417 of His disciplesG3101 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG5217 into the cityG4172, and a manG444 carryingG941 a pitcherG2765 of waterG5204 will meetG528 you; followG190 him; 14and whereverG3699G1437 he entersG1525, sayG3004 to the ownerG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617, ‘The TeacherG1320 saysG3004, “WhereG4226 is My 21guestG2646 roomG2646 in whichG3699 I may eatG2068 the PassoverG3957 with My disciplesG3101?”’ 15And he himselfG846 will showG1166 you a largeG3173 upstairsG311 roomG311 furnishedG4766 and readyG2092; prepareG2090 for us thereG1563.” 16The disciplesG3101 leftG1831 and cameG2064 to the cityG4172, and foundG2147 everything justG2531 asG2531 He had toldG3004 them; and they preparedG2090 the PassoverG3957.

1722When it was eveningG3798 He cameG2064 with the twelveG1427. 18And as they were recliningG345 at the table and eatingG2068, JesusG2424 saidG3004, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that oneG1520 of you will 23betrayG3860 Me--24one who is eatingG2068 with Me.” 19They beganG757 to be grievedG3076 and to sayG3004 to Him oneG1520 by oneG1520, “SurelyG3385 not I?” 20But He saidG3004 to them, “It is one of the twelveG1427, the one who dipsG1686 bread with Me in the bowlG5165. 21For the SonG5207 of ManG444 is goingG5217 awayG5217 justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125 aboutG4012 Him; but woeG3759 to that manG444 25by whomG3739 the SonG5207 of ManG444 is betrayedG3860! It would have been goodG2570 26for that manG444 ifG1487 he had not been bornG1080.”

2227While they were eatingG2068, He tookG2983 some breadG740, and 28after a 29blessingG2127 He brokeG2806 it, and gaveG1325 it to them, and saidG3004, “TakeG2983 it; thisG3778 is My bodyG4983.” 23And when He had takenG2983 a cupG4221 and givenG2168 thanksG2168, He gaveG1325 it to them, and they allG3956 drankG4095 from it. 24And He saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 is My 30bloodG129 of the 31covenantG1242, whichG3588 is being pouredG1632 outG1632 for manyG4183. 25TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, I will not drinkG4095 of the fruitG1079 of the vineG288 againG3765, untilG2193 that dayG2250 whenG3752 I drinkG4095 it, newG2537, in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”

2632And after singingG5214 aG5214 33hymnG5214, they wentG1831 outG1831 to 34the MountG3735 of OlivesG1636.

2735And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “You will allG3956 36fallG4624 awayG4624, becauseG3754 it is writtenG1125: ‘37I will strikeG3960 the shepherdG4166, and the sheepG4263 will be scatteredG1287.’ 28But afterG3326 I am raisedG1453, 38I will goG4254 aheadG4254 of you to GalileeG1056.” 29But PeterG4074 saidG5346 to Him, “EvenG2532 ifG1487 they allG3956 39fallG4624 awayG4624, yetG235 I will not!” 30And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that 4041thisG3778 veryG4594 nightG3571, beforeG4250 42a roosterG220 crowsG5455 twiceG1364, you yourselfG4771 will denyG533 Me threeG5151 timesG5151.” 31But 43Peter repeatedly saidG2980 insistentlyG1600, “Even ifG1437 I have to dieG4880 with You, I will not denyG533 You!” And they allG3956 were sayingG3004 the sameG5615 thingG5615 asG2532 wellG2532.

3244They cameG2064 to a placeG5564 namedG3686 45GethsemaneG1068; and He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “SitG2523 hereG5602 untilG2193 I have prayedG4336.” 33And He tookG3880 with Him PeterG4074, 46JamesG2385, and JohnG2491, and beganG757 to be veryG1568 47distressedG1568 and troubledG85. 34And He saidG3004 to them, “48My soulG5590 is deeplyG4036 grievedG4036, toG2193 theG2193 pointG2193 of deathG2288; remainG3306 hereG5602 and 49keepG1127 watchG1127.” 35And He wentG4281 a littleG3398 beyondG4281 them, and fellG4098 to the groundG1093 and began prayingG4336 that ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, 50the hourG5610 might 51passG3928 Him by. 36And He was sayingG3004, “52AbbaG5! 53FatherG3962! AllG3956 thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 for You; removeG3911 thisG3778 cupG4221 from Me; 54yetG235 not whatG5101 I willG2309, but whatG5101 You will.” 37And He cameG2064 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2518, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “SimonG4613, are you asleepG2518? CouldG2480 you not 55keepG1127 watchG1127 for oneG1520 hourG5610? 385657KeepG1127 watchingG1127 and prayingG4336, soG2443 thatG2443 you will not comeG2064 into temptationG3986; the spiritG4151 is willingG4289, but the fleshG4561 is weakG772.” 39And againG3825 He wentG565 awayG565 and prayedG4336, sayingG3004 the sameG846 58wordsG3056. 40And againG3825 He cameG2064 and foundG2147 them sleepingG2518, for their eyesG3788 were heavyG2599; and they did not knowG3609 whatG5101 to sayG611 inG611 replyG611 to Him. 41And He cameG2064 the thirdG5154 timeG5154, and saidG3004 to them, “Are you stillG3062 sleepingG2518 and restingG373? That is enoughG568. 59The hourG5610 has comeG2064; beholdG2400, the SonG5207 of ManG444 is being 60betrayedG3860 into the handsG5495 of sinnersG268. 42GetG1453 upG1453, let’s goG71; beholdG2400, the one who is betrayingG3860 Me is nearG1448!”
