Mark 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Now the feast of Passover and of Unleavened Bread was two days away. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking a means by which they might deceitfully seize him and kill him.	1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 But they said, “Not on the feast day, lest perhaps there may be a tumult among the people.”	2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was reclining to eat, a woman arrived having an alabaster container of ointment, of precious spikenard. And breaking open the alabaster container, she poured it over his head.	3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 But there were some who became indignant within themselves and who were saying: “What is the reason for this waste of the ointment?	4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and been given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.	5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said: “Permit her. What is the reason that you trouble her? She has done a good deed for me.	6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For the poor, you have with you always. And whenever you wish, you are able to do good to them. But you do not have me always.	7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 But she has done what she could. She has arrived in advance to anoint my body for burial.	8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Amen I say to you, wherever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the entire world, the things she has done also shall be told, in memory of her.”	9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away, to the leaders of the priests, in order to betray him to them.	10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
11 And they, upon hearing it, were gladdened. And they promised him that they would give him money. And he sought an opportune means by which he might betray him.	11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they immolate the Passover, the disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?”	12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sent two of his disciples, and he said to them: “Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.	13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wherever he will have entered, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: Where is my dining room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’	14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will show you a large cenacle, fully furnished. And there, you shall prepare it for us.”	15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples departed and went into the city. And they found it just as he had told them. And they prepared the Passover.	16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 Then, when evening came, he arrived with the twelve.	17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And while reclining and eating with them at table, Jesus said, “Amen I say to you, that one of you, who eats with me, will betray me.”	18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
19 But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one at a time: “Is it I?”	19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 And he said to them: “It is one of the twelve, who dips his hand with me in the dish.	20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 And indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”	21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22 And while eating with them, Jesus took bread. And blessing it, he broke it and gave it to them, and he said: “Take. This is my body.”	22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it.	23 And 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 covenant, which shall be shed for many.	24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God.”	25 Verily I say unto 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 having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.	26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus said to them: “You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’	27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28 But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee.”	28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 Then Peter said to him, “Even if all will have fallen away from you, yet I will not.”	29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
30 And Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to you, that this day, in this night, before the rooster has uttered its voice twice, you will deny me three times.”	30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
31 But he spoke further, “Even if I must die along with you, I will not deny you.” And they all spoke similarly also.	31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
32 And they went to a country estate, by the name of Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”	32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he took Peter, and James, and John with him. And he began to be afraid and wearied.	33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Remain here and be vigilant.”	34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
35 And when he had proceeded on a little ways, he fell prostrate on the ground. And he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.	35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 And he said: “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this chalice from me. But let it be, not as I will, but as you will.”	36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he went and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to be vigilant for one hour?	37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”	38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.	39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
40 And upon returning, he found them sleeping yet again, (for their eyes were heavy) and they did not know how to respond to him.	40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
41 And he arrived for the third time, and he said to them: “Sleep now, and take rest. It is enough. The hour has arrived. Behold, the Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of sinners.	41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he who will betray me is near.”	42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 And while he was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders.	43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying: “He whom I shall kiss, it is he. Take hold of him, and lead him away cautiously.”	44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
45 And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: “Hail, Master!” And he kissed him.	45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 But they laid hands on him and held him.	46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
47 Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.	47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And in response, Jesus said to them: “Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?	48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
49 Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled.”	49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 Then his disciples, leaving him behind, all fled away.	50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
51 Now a certain young man followed him, having nothing but a fine linen cloth over himself. And they took hold of him.	51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
52 But he, rejecting the fine linen cloth, escaped from them naked.	52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the elders came together.	53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54 But Peter followed him from a distance, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.	54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 Yet truly, the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death, and they found none.	55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
56 For many spoke false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree.	56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
57 And certain ones, rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:	57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58 “For we heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple, made with hands, and within three days I will build another, not made with hands.’ ”	58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
59 And their testimony did not agree.	59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
60 And the high priest, rising up in their midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do you have nothing to say in answer to the things that are brought against you by these ones?”	60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61 But he was silent and gave no answer. Again, the high priest questioned him, and he said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?”	61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 Then Jesus said to him: “I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and arriving with the clouds of heaven.”	62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Then the high priest, rending his garments, said: “Why do we still require witnesses?	63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. How does it seem to you?” And they all condemned him, as guilty unto death.	64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and to strike him with fists, and to say to him, “Prophesy.” And the servants struck him with the palms their hands.	65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66 And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maidservants of the high priest arrived.	66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, she stared at him, and she said: “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”	67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you saying.” And he went outside, in front of the court; and a rooster crowed.	68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 Then again, when a maidservant had seen him, she began to say to the bystanders, “For this is one of them.”	69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
70 But he denied it again. And after a little while, again those standing near said to Peter: “In truth, you are one of them. For you, too, are a Galilean.”	70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
71 Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, “For I do not know this man, about whom you are speaking.”	71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72 And immediately the rooster crowed again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he began to weep.	72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
