馬可福音 14
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
陰謀殺害耶穌
14 過兩天就是逾越節和除酵節了。祭司長們和經文士們在圖謀怎樣用詭計拘捕耶穌,把他殺掉。 2 不過他們說:「不可在節日期間,免得民眾發生騷亂。」
在伯大尼被膏抹
3 耶穌在伯大尼,在痲瘋病人西門家裡坐席的時候,有一個女人拿著一個玉瓶進來。瓶裡盛著[a]極其貴重的純哪噠香液。她打破玉瓶,把香液澆在耶穌的頭上。 4 有些人心裡很不滿,說:「為什麼要這樣浪費香液呢? 5 這香液本來可以賣三百多個銀幣[b],分給窮人。」他們就責備那女人。
6 耶穌說:「由她吧!你們為什麼為難她呢?她為我做了一件美好的事。 7 要知道,你們總是有窮人與你們在一起,只要你們願意,隨時可以為他們做好事。但你們不總是有我。 8 她盡她所能的做了。她是為我的安葬,預先膏抹了我的身體。 9 我確實地告訴你們:在全世界,福音無論傳到什麼地方,這女人所做的事也將被述說,做為對她的記念。」
10 那時候,加略人猶大,就是十二使徒[c]中的一個,到祭司長們那裡去,要把耶穌交給他們。 11 他們聽了就歡喜,並且許諾給他銀錢。於是猶大就圖謀怎樣找機會把耶穌交出去。
預備逾越節的晚餐
12 除酵節的第一日,就是人們宰殺逾越節羔羊的那一天,耶穌的門徒們問他:「你要我們到哪裡去預備,好讓你吃逾越節的晚餐呢?」
13 於是耶穌差派了他的兩個門徒,對他們說:「你們進城去,會有一個人提著一罐水迎面而來,你們就跟著他。 14 他進哪一家,你們就對那家的主人說:『老師問:我的客房,就是我與我的門徒們一起吃逾越節晚餐的客房在哪裡呢?』 15 他會給你們看樓上一間預備好的大房間。你們就在那裡為我們預備吧。」 16 兩個門徒出去,進了城,所看到的正如耶穌對他們所說的。他們就預備了逾越節的晚餐。
在逾越節被出賣
17 到了晚上,耶穌與十二使徒一起來了。 18 他們坐著吃飯的時候,耶穌說:「我確實地告訴你們:你們當中有一個人要出賣我,他正與我一起吃飯。」
19 他們開始感到憂傷,就一個接一個地問耶穌:「不會是我吧?」
20 耶穌對他們說:「是你們十二使徒中的一個。他正與我一同在盤子裡蘸餅。 21 人子確實要離去,正如經上指著他所寫的,但是出賣人子的那個人有禍了。對他來說,沒有出生倒好。」
第一次聖餐
22 在他們吃的時候,耶穌拿起餅來,祝福了,就掰開,遞給門徒們,說:「你們領受[d]吧,這是我的身體。」
23 接著,他拿起杯來,祝謝了,遞給門徒們。他們都喝了。 24 耶穌對他們說:「這是我的血,是為立約[e]的,為許多人所流的。 25 我確實地告訴你們:我絕不再喝這葡萄汁[f],直到我在神的國裡喝新的那一天。」 26 他們唱了讚美詩[g],就出來,往橄欖山去了。
預言彼得不認主
27 耶穌對他們說:「你們都將被絆倒[h],因為經上記著:
『我將擊打牧人,
羊群就被分散。』[i]
28 但是我復活以後,要在你們之前到加利利去。」
29 彼得對耶穌說:「即使所有的人被絆倒[j],我還是不會。」
30 可是耶穌對他說:「我確實地告訴你:今天,就在今夜,雞叫兩遍以前,你會三次不認我。」
31 彼得卻堅決[k]地說:「就算我必須與你同死,我也絕不會不認你。」所有的門徒也都這麼說。
園中的禱告
32 他們來到一個名叫客西馬尼的地方。耶穌對他的門徒們說:「我禱告的時候,你們坐在這裡。」 33 他帶了彼得、雅各和約翰一起去。這時候,他開始憂懼起來,極其難過, 34 對他們說:「我的靈魂很憂傷,幾乎要死。你們留在這裡,要警醒。」 35 耶穌稍往前走,俯伏在地,禱告說,如果有可能,讓那時刻離開他。 36 他說:「阿爸!父啊!在你,沒有不可能的事,請把這杯從我這裡拿走吧!但不要照我的意願,而要照你的意願。」
37 耶穌回來,看見他們睡著了,就對彼得說:「西門,你睡著了?難道你不能警醒一個小時嗎? 38 要警醒禱告,免得陷入試探。你們心靈雖然願意,肉體卻是軟弱的。」
39 耶穌又去禱告,說了同樣的話。 40 他又回來,看見他們在睡覺,因為他們的眼皮發沉,也不知道要回答耶穌什麼。 41 耶穌第三次回來,對他們說:「你們還在睡覺、休息嗎?已經夠了,時候到了!看哪,人子被交在[l]罪人的手裡了。 42 起來,我們走吧!看,那出賣我的人快到了!」
猶大親吻的暗號
43 耶穌還在說話的時候,忽然十二使徒之一的猶大來了。有一群人拿著刀劍和棍棒與他一起來,他們是祭司長們、經文士們和長老們所派來的。 44 那出賣耶穌的人已經和他們定了一個暗號,說:「我如果親吻誰,誰就是那個人。你們把他抓住,小心地帶走。」 45 猶大一到,就上前對耶穌說:「拉比!」然後親吻了他。 46 他們就下手拘捕了耶穌。 47 站在旁邊的一個門徒拔出刀來,向大祭司的奴僕砍去,削掉了他的一個耳朵。
48 耶穌對他們說:「你們帶著刀劍和棍棒出來抓我,就像對付強盜那樣嗎? 49 我天天在聖殿裡教導人,和你們在一起,而你們不抓我。不過這是為要應驗那些經文。」 50 這時候,所有的門徒都離開他逃跑了。
51 有一個年輕人,赤身披上一塊細麻布,跟在耶穌後面。那些人[m]就抓住他, 52 可是他卻丟下麻布,赤著身子逃跑了。
在議員面前受審
53 他們把耶穌帶到大祭司那裡。所有的祭司長、長老和經文士都聚在一起。 54 彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌,直到進了大祭司的院子裡。他與差役們一起坐在火邊取暖。
55 當時,祭司長們和全議會的人為了要處死耶穌,都在尋找證據來控告他。可是他們找不出什麼。 56 許多人做偽證誣告他,可是這些證詞互相矛盾。 57 有一些人站起來做偽證控告他,說: 58 「我們聽他說過『我要拆毀這座人手所造的聖所,三天內另建一座不是人手所造的。』」 59 可是他們這個證詞也是互相矛盾的。
60 於是大祭司就起來站到中間問耶穌,說:「對這些人控告你的事,你什麼都不回應嗎?」 61 耶穌沉默不語,什麼也不回答。大祭司又問他,說:「你是基督——那當受頌讚者的兒子嗎?」
62 耶穌說:「我就是。而且你們將看見人子坐在全能者的右邊,在天上的雲彩中來臨。[n]」
63 大祭司就撕裂自己的衣服,說:「難道我們還需要什麼見證人嗎? 64 你們都聽見了這褻瀆的話。你們怎麼看?」
他們都判定他是該死的。 65 接著,有些人開始向他吐唾沫,蒙住他的臉,用拳頭打他,對他說:「你說預言吧!」差役們也用手掌打他。
彼得不認主
66 彼得正在下邊院子裡的時候,大祭司的一個女僕過來了。 67 她看見彼得在取暖,就注視著他,說:「你也與那個拿撒勒人耶穌是一夥的。」
68 彼得卻否認說:「我既不明白,也不知道你在說什麼。」於是他就出去,到了門廊。這時候,雞叫了[o]。
69 那女僕看見他,又開始對站在旁邊的人說:「這個人是與他們一夥的。」
70 彼得再次否認。過了一會兒,站在旁邊的人又對彼得說:「你真的是與他們一夥的,因為你也是加利利人[p]。」
71 他就開始賭咒並起誓說:「我不認識你們所講的這個人。」
72 立時,雞叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶穌對他說過的話:「雞叫兩遍以前,你會三次不認我」,他就忍不住痛哭起來。

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
14 过两天是逾越节,又是除酵节,祭司长和文士想法子怎么用诡计捉拿耶稣杀他。 2 只是说:“当节的日子不可,恐怕百姓生乱。”
浇极贵的香膏
3 耶稣在伯大尼长大麻风的西门家里坐席的时候,有一个女人拿着一玉瓶至贵的真哪哒香膏来,打破玉瓶,把膏浇在耶稣的头上。 4 有几个人心中很不喜悦,说:“何用这样枉费香膏呢? 5 这香膏可以卖三十多两银子周济穷人。”他们就向那女人生气。 6 耶稣说:“由她吧!为什么难为她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。 7 因为常有穷人和你们同在,要向他们行善随时都可以,只是你们不常有我。 8 她所做的是尽她所能的,她是为我安葬的事,把香膏预先浇在我身上。 9 我实在告诉你们:普天之下,无论在什么地方传这福音,也要述说这女人所做的,以为纪念。”
犹大卖主
10 十二门徒之中有一个加略人犹大,去见祭司长,要把耶稣交给他们。 11 他们听见就欢喜,又应许给他银子,他就寻思如何得便把耶稣交给他们。
预备逾越节的筵席
12 除酵节的第一天,就是宰逾越羊羔的那一天,门徒对耶稣说:“你吃逾越节的筵席,要我们往哪里去预备呢?” 13 耶稣就打发两个门徒,对他们说:“你们进城去,必有人拿着一瓶水迎面而来,你们就跟着他。 14 他进哪家去,你们就对那家的主人说:‘夫子说:客房在哪里?我与门徒好在那里吃逾越节的筵席。’ 15 他必指给你们摆设整齐的一间大楼,你们就在那里为我们预备。” 16 门徒出去,进了城,所遇见的正如耶稣所说的,他们就预备了逾越节的筵席。
17 到了晚上,耶稣和十二个门徒都来了。 18 他们坐席正吃的时候,耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们:你们中间有一个与我同吃的人要卖我了。” 19 他们就忧愁起来,一个一个地问他说:“是我吗?” 20 耶稣对他们说:“是十二个门徒中同我蘸手在盘子里的那个人。 21 人子必要去世,正如经上指着他所写的,但卖人子的人有祸了!那人不生在世上倒好。”
设立圣餐
22 他们吃的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝了福,就掰开,递给他们,说:“你们拿着吃,这是我的身体。” 23 又拿起杯来,祝谢了,递给他们,他们都喝了。 24 耶稣说:“这是我立约的血,为多人流出来的。 25 我实在告诉你们:我不再喝这葡萄汁,直到我在神的国里喝新的那日子。”
26 他们唱了诗,就出来往橄榄山去。
预言彼得不认主
27 耶稣对他们说:“你们都要跌倒了,因为经上记着说:‘我要击打牧人,羊就分散了。’ 28 但我复活以后,要在你们以先往加利利去。” 29 彼得说:“众人虽然跌倒,我总不能。” 30 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你:就在今天夜里,鸡叫两遍以先,你要三次不认我。” 31 彼得却极力地说:“我就是必须和你同死,也总不能不认你!”众门徒都是这样说。
在客西马尼祷告
32 他们来到一个地方,名叫客西马尼,耶稣对门徒说:“你们坐在这里,等我祷告。” 33 于是带着彼得、雅各、约翰同去,就惊恐起来,极其难过, 34 对他们说:“我心里甚是忧伤,几乎要死。你们在这里等候,警醒。” 35 他就稍往前走,俯伏在地,祷告说倘若可行,便叫那时候过去。 36 他说:“阿爸,父啊!在你凡事都能,求你将这杯撤去!然而,不要从我的意思,只要从你的意思。”
主勉励门徒警醒祷告
37 耶稣回来,见他们睡着了,就对彼得说:“西门,你睡觉吗?不能警醒片时吗? 38 总要警醒祷告,免得入了迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意,肉体却软弱了。” 39 耶稣又去祷告,说的话还是与先前一样。 40 又来,见他们睡着了,因为他们的眼睛甚是困倦;他们也不知道怎么回答。 41 第三次来,对他们说:“现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧[a]!够了,时候到了。看哪,人子被卖在罪人手里了! 42 起来,我们走吧!看哪,那卖我的人近了!”
盗卖和捉拿
43 说话之间,忽然那十二个门徒里的犹大来了,并有许多人带着刀棒,从祭司长和文士并长老那里与他同来。 44 卖耶稣的人曾给他们一个暗号,说:“我与谁亲嘴,谁就是他。你们把他拿住,牢牢靠靠地带去。” 45 犹大来了,随即到耶稣跟前,说:“拉比!”便与他亲嘴。 46 他们就下手拿住他。 47 旁边站着的人,有一个拔出刀来,将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀,削掉了他一个耳朵。 48 耶稣对他们说:“你们带着刀棒出来拿我,如同拿强盗吗? 49 我天天教训人,同你们在殿里,你们并没有拿我。但这事成就,为要应验经上的话。” 50 门徒都离开他逃走了。
51 有一个少年人赤身披着一块麻布,跟随耶稣,众人就捉拿他。 52 他却丢了麻布,赤身逃走了。
在公会前受审
53 他们把耶稣带到大祭司那里,又有众祭司长和长老并文士都来和大祭司一同聚集。 54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直进入大祭司的院里,和差役一同坐在火光里烤火。 55 祭司长和全公会寻找见证控告耶稣,要治死他,却寻不着。 56 因为有好些人作假见证告他,只是他们的见证各不相合。 57 又有几个人站起来作假见证告他,说: 58 “我们听见他说:‘我要拆毁这人手所造的殿,三日内就另造一座不是人手所造的。’” 59 他们就是这么作见证,也是各不相合。 60 大祭司起来站在中间,问耶稣说:“你什么都不回答吗?这些人作见证告你的是什么呢?” 61 耶稣却不言语,一句也不回答。大祭司又问他说:“你是那当称颂者的儿子基督不是?” 62 耶稣说:“我是。你们必看见人子坐在那权能者的右边,驾着天上的云降临。” 63 大祭司就撕开衣服,说:“我们何必再用见证人呢? 64 你们已经听见他这僭妄的话了。你们的意见如何?”他们都定他该死的罪。 65 就有人吐唾沫在他脸上,又蒙着他的脸,用拳头打他,对他说:“你说预言吧!”差役接过他来,用手掌打他。
彼得三次不认主
66 彼得在下边院子里,来了大祭司的一个使女, 67 见彼得烤火,就看着他说:“你素来也是同拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的。” 68 彼得却不承认,说:“我不知道,也不明白你说的是什么。”于是出来,到了前院,鸡就叫了。 69 那使女看见他,又对旁边站着的人说:“这也是他们一党的。” 70 彼得又不承认。过了不多的时候,旁边站着的人又对彼得说:“你真是他们一党的,因为你是加利利人。” 71 彼得就发咒起誓地说:“我不认得你们说的这个人!” 72 立时鸡叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他所说的话:“鸡叫两遍以先,你要三次不认我。”思想起来,就哭了。

Mark 14
Common English Bible
Preparation for burial
14 It was two days before Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and legal experts through cunning tricks were searching for a way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 But they agreed that it shouldn’t happen during the festival; otherwise, there would be an uproar among the people.
3 Jesus was at Bethany visiting the house of Simon, who had a skin disease. During dinner, a woman came in with a vase made of alabaster and containing very expensive perfume of pure nard. She broke open the vase and poured the perfume on his head. 4 Some grew angry. They said to each other, “Why waste the perfume? 5 This perfume could have been sold for almost a year’s pay[a] and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
6 Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you make trouble for her? She has done a good thing for me. 7 You always have the poor with you; and whenever you want, you can do something good for them. But you won’t always have me. 8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body ahead of time for burial. 9 I tell you the truth that, wherever in the whole world the good news is announced, what she’s done will also be told in memory of her.”
Passover meal
10 Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to give Jesus up to them. 11 When they heard it, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So he started looking for an opportunity to turn him in.
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, the disciples said to Jesus, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?”
13 He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city. A man carrying a water jar will meet you. Follow him. 14 Wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The teacher asks, “Where is my guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?”’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs already furnished. Prepare for us there.” 16 The disciples left, came into the city, found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.
17 That evening, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 During the meal, Jesus said, “I assure you that one of you will betray me—someone eating with me.”
19 Deeply saddened, they asked him, one by one, “It’s not me, is it?”
20 Jesus answered, “It’s one of the Twelve, one who is dipping bread with me into this bowl. 21 The Human One[b] goes to his death just as it is written about him. But how terrible it is for that person who betrays the Human One![c] It would have been better for him if he had never been born.”
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 I assure you that I won’t drink wine again until that day when I drink it in a new way in God’s kingdom.” 26 After singing songs of praise, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Predictions about disciples leaving Jesus
27 Jesus said to them, “You will all falter in your faithfulness to me. It is written, I will hit the shepherd, and the sheep will go off in all directions.[d] 28 But after I’m raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 Peter said to him, “Even if everyone else stumbles, I won’t.”
30 But Jesus said to him, “I assure you that on this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31 But Peter insisted, “If I must die alongside you, I won’t deny you.” And they all said the same thing.
Jesus in prayer
32 Jesus and his disciples came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to them, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John along with him. He began to feel despair and was anxious. 34 He said to them, “I’m very sad. It’s as if I’m dying. Stay here and keep alert.” 35 Then he went a short distance farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if possible, he might be spared the time of suffering. 36 He said, “Abba, Father, for you all things are possible. Take this cup of suffering away from me. However—not what I want but what you want.”
37 He came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Couldn’t you stay alert for one hour? 38 Stay alert and pray so that you won’t give in to temptation. The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again, he left them and prayed, repeating the same words. 40 And, again, when he came back, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open, and they didn’t know how to respond to him. 41 He came a third time and said to them, “Will you sleep and rest all night? That’s enough! The time has come for the Human One[e] to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Get up! Let’s go! Look, here comes my betrayer.”
Arrest
43 Suddenly, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came with a mob carrying swords and clubs. They had been sent by the chief priests, legal experts, and elders. 44 His betrayer had given them a sign: “Arrest the man I kiss, and take him away under guard.”
45 As soon as he got there, Judas said to Jesus, “Rabbi!” Then he kissed him. 46 Then they came and grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
47 One of the bystanders drew a sword and struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his ear. 48 Jesus responded, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me, like an outlaw? 49 Day after day, I was with you, teaching in the temple, but you didn’t arrest me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And all his disciples left him and ran away. 51 One young man, a disciple, was wearing nothing but a linen cloth. They grabbed him, 52 but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.
A hearing before the Sanhedrin
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and legal experts gathered. 54 Peter followed him from a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the guards, warming himself by the fire. 55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they couldn’t find any. 56 Many brought false testimony against him, but they contradicted each other. 57 Some stood to offer false witness against him, saying, 58 “We heard him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple, constructed by humans, and within three days I will build another, one not made by humans.’” 59 But their testimonies didn’t agree even on this point.
60 Then the high priest stood up in the middle of the gathering and examined Jesus. “Aren’t you going to respond to the testimony these people have brought against you?” 61 But Jesus was silent and didn’t answer. Again, the high priest asked, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the blessed one?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Human One[f] sitting on the right side of the Almighty[g] and coming on the heavenly clouds.”
63 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “Why do we need any more witnesses? 64 You’ve heard his insult against God. What do you think?”
They all condemned him. “He deserves to die!”
65 Some began to spit on him. Some covered his face and hit him, saying, “Prophesy!” Then the guards took him and beat him.
Peter denies Jesus
66 Meanwhile, Peter was below in the courtyard. A woman, one of the high priest’s servants, approached 67 and saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She stared at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t understand what you’re saying.” And he went outside into the outer courtyard. A rooster crowed.
69 The female servant saw him and began a second time to say to those standing around, “This man is one of them.” 70 But he denied it again.
A short time later, those standing around again said to Peter, “You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean.”
71 But he cursed and swore, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.” 72 At that very moment, a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered what Jesus told him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down, sobbing.

New International Version
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.
