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。

Marcos 14
Dios Habla Hoy
Conspiración para arrestar a Jesús(A)
14 Faltaban dos días para la fiesta de la Pascua, cuando se come el pan sin levadura. Los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley buscaban la manera de arrestar a Jesús por medio de algún engaño, y matarlo. 2 Pues algunos decían:
—No durante la fiesta, para que la gente no se alborote.
Una mujer derrama perfume sobre Jesús(B)
3 Jesús había ido a Betania, a casa de Simón, al que llamaban el leproso. Mientras estaba sentado a la mesa, llegó una mujer que llevaba un frasco de alabastro lleno de perfume de nardo puro, de mucho valor. Rompió el frasco y derramó el perfume sobre la cabeza de Jesús. 4 Algunos de los presentes se enojaron, y se dijeron unos a otros:
—¿Por qué se ha desperdiciado este perfume? 5 Podía haberse vendido por el equivalente al salario de trescientos días, para ayudar a los pobres.
Y criticaban a aquella mujer.
6 Pero Jesús dijo:
—Déjenla; ¿por qué la molestan? Ha hecho una obra buena conmigo. 7 Pues a los pobres siempre los tendrán entre ustedes, y pueden hacerles bien cuando quieran; pero a mí no siempre me van a tener. 8 Esta mujer ha hecho lo que ha podido: ha perfumado mi cuerpo de antemano para mi entierro. 9 Les aseguro que en cualquier lugar del mundo donde se anuncie la buena noticia, se hablará también de lo que hizo esta mujer, y así será recordada.
Judas traiciona a Jesús(C)
10 Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce discípulos, fue a ver a los jefes de los sacerdotes para entregarles a Jesús. 11 Al oírlo, se alegraron y prometieron darle dinero a Judas, que comenzó a buscar el momento más oportuno de entregar a Jesús.
La Cena del Señor(D)
12 El primer día de la fiesta en que se comía el pan sin levadura, cuando se sacrificaba el cordero de Pascua, los discípulos de Jesús le preguntaron:
—¿Dónde quieres que vayamos a prepararte la cena de Pascua?
13 Entonces envió a dos de sus discípulos, diciéndoles:
—Vayan a la ciudad. Allí encontrarán a un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua; síganlo, 14 y donde entre, digan al dueño de la casa: “El Maestro pregunta: ¿Cuál es el cuarto donde voy a comer con mis discípulos la cena de Pascua?” 15 Él les mostrará en el piso alto un cuarto grande, arreglado y ya listo para la cena. Prepárennos allí lo necesario.
16 Los discípulos salieron y fueron a la ciudad. Lo encontraron todo como Jesús les había dicho, y prepararon la cena de Pascua.
17 Al anochecer llegó Jesús con los doce discípulos. 18 Mientras estaban a la mesa, comiendo, Jesús les dijo:
—Les aseguro que uno de ustedes, que está comiendo conmigo, me va a traicionar.
19 Ellos se pusieron tristes, y comenzaron a preguntarle uno por uno:
—¿Acaso seré yo?
20 Jesús les contestó:
—Es uno de los doce, que está mojando el pan en el mismo plato que yo. 21 El Hijo del hombre ha de recorrer el camino que dicen las Escrituras; pero ¡ay de aquel que lo traiciona! Hubiera sido mejor para él no haber nacido.
22 Mientras comían, Jesús tomó en sus manos el pan y, habiendo pronunciado la bendición, lo partió y se lo dio a ellos, diciendo:
—Tomen, esto es mi cuerpo.
23 Luego tomó en sus manos una copa y, habiendo dado gracias a Dios, se la pasó a ellos, y todos bebieron. 24 Les dijo:
—Esto es mi sangre, con la que se confirma la alianza, sangre que es derramada en favor de muchos. 25 Les aseguro que no volveré a beber del producto de la vid, hasta el día en que beba el vino nuevo en el reino de Dios.
Jesús anuncia que Pedro lo negará(E)
26 Después de cantar los salmos, se fueron al Monte de los Olivos. 27 Jesús les dijo:
—Todos ustedes van a perder su fe en mí. Así lo dicen las Escrituras: “Mataré al pastor, y las ovejas se dispersarán.” 28 Pero cuando yo resucite, los volveré a reunir en Galilea.
29 Pedro le dijo:
—Aunque todos pierdan su fe, yo no.
30 Jesús le contestó:
—Te aseguro que esta misma noche, antes que cante el gallo por segunda vez, me negarás tres veces.
31 Pero él insistía:
—Aunque tenga que morir contigo, no te negaré.
Y todos decían lo mismo.
Jesús ora en Getsemaní(F)
32 Luego fueron a un lugar llamado Getsemaní. Jesús dijo a sus discípulos:
—Siéntense aquí, mientras yo voy a orar.
33 Y se llevó a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, y comenzó a sentirse muy afligido y angustiado. 34 Les dijo:
—Siento en mi alma una tristeza de muerte. Quédense ustedes aquí, y permanezcan despiertos.
35 En seguida Jesús se fue un poco más adelante, se inclinó hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, y pidió a Dios que, de ser posible, no le llegara ese momento. 36 En su oración decía: «Abbá, Padre, para ti todo es posible: líbrame de este trago amargo; pero que no se haga lo que yo quiero, sino lo que quieres tú.»
37 Luego volvió a donde ellos estaban, y los encontró dormidos. Le dijo a Pedro:
—Simón, ¿estás durmiendo? ¿Ni siquiera una hora pudiste mantenerte despierto? 38 Manténganse despiertos y oren, para que no caigan en tentación. Ustedes tienen buena voluntad, pero son débiles.
39 Se fue otra vez, y oró repitiendo las mismas palabras. 40 Cuando volvió, encontró otra vez dormidos a los discípulos, porque sus ojos se les cerraban de sueño. Y no sabían qué contestarle. 41 Volvió por tercera vez, y les dijo:
—¿Siguen ustedes durmiendo y descansando? Ya basta, ha llegado la hora en que el Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los pecadores. 42 Levántense, vámonos; ya se acerca el que me traiciona.
Arrestan a Jesús(G)
43 Todavía estaba hablando Jesús cuando Judas, uno de los doce discípulos, llegó acompañado de mucha gente armada con espadas y con palos. Iban de parte de los jefes de los sacerdotes, de los maestros de la ley y de los ancianos. 44 Judas, el traidor, les había dado una contraseña, diciéndoles: «Al que yo bese, ése es; arréstenlo y llévenselo bien sujeto.» 45 Así que se acercó a Jesús y le dijo:
—¡Maestro!
Y lo besó. 46 Entonces le echaron mano a Jesús y lo arrestaron.
47 Pero uno de los que estaban allí sacó su espada y le cortó una oreja al criado del sumo sacerdote. 48 Y Jesús preguntó a la gente:
—¿Por qué han venido ustedes con espadas y con palos a arrestarme, como si yo fuera un bandido? 49 Todos los días he estado entre ustedes enseñando en el templo, y nunca me arrestaron. Pero esto sucede para que se cumplan las Escrituras.
50 Todos los discípulos dejaron solo a Jesús, y huyeron. 51 Pero un joven lo seguía, cubierto sólo con una sábana. A éste lo agarraron, 52 pero él soltó la sábana y escapó desnudo.
Jesús ante la Junta Suprema(H)
53 Llevaron entonces a Jesús ante el sumo sacerdote, y se juntaron todos los jefes de los sacerdotes, los ancianos y los maestros de la ley. 54 Pedro lo siguió de lejos hasta dentro del patio de la casa del sumo sacerdote, y se quedó sentado con los guardianes del templo, calentándose junto al fuego.
55 Los jefes de los sacerdotes y toda la Junta Suprema buscaban alguna prueba para condenar a muerte a Jesús; pero no la encontraban. 56 Porque aunque muchos presentaban falsos testimonios contra él, se contradecían unos a otros. 57 Algunos se levantaron y lo acusaron falsamente, diciendo:
58 —Nosotros lo hemos oído decir: “Yo voy a destruir este templo que hicieron los hombres, y en tres días levantaré otro no hecho por los hombres.”
59 Pero ni aun así estaban de acuerdo en lo que decían.
60 Entonces el sumo sacerdote se levantó en medio de todos, y preguntó a Jesús:
—¿No contestas nada? ¿Qué es esto que están diciendo contra ti?
61 Pero Jesús se quedó callado, sin contestar nada. El sumo sacerdote volvió a preguntarle:
—¿Eres tú el Mesías, el Hijo del Dios bendito?
62 Jesús le dijo:
—Sí, yo soy. Y ustedes verán al Hijo del hombre sentado a la derecha del Todopoderoso, y viniendo en las nubes del cielo.
63 Entonces el sumo sacerdote se rasgó las ropas en señal de indignación, y dijo:
—¿Qué necesidad tenemos de más testigos? 64 Ustedes lo han oído decir palabras ofensivas contra Dios. ¿Qué les parece?
Todos estuvieron de acuerdo en que era culpable y debía morir.
65 Algunos comenzaron a escupirlo, y a taparle los ojos y golpearlo, diciéndole:
—¡Adivina quién te pegó!
Y los guardianes del templo le pegaron en la cara.
Pedro niega conocer a Jesús(I)
66 Pedro estaba abajo, en el patio. En esto llegó una de las sirvientas del sumo sacerdote; 67 y al ver a Pedro, que se estaba calentando junto al fuego, se quedó mirándolo y le dijo:
—Tú también andabas con Jesús, el de Nazaret.
68 Pedro lo negó, diciendo:
—No lo conozco, ni sé de qué estás hablando.
Y salió fuera, a la entrada. Entonces cantó un gallo. 69 La sirvienta vio otra vez a Pedro y comenzó a decir a los demás:
—Éste es uno de ellos.
70 Pero él volvió a negarlo. Poco después, los que estaban allí dijeron de nuevo a Pedro:
—Seguro que tú eres uno de ellos, pues también eres de Galilea.
71 Entonces Pedro comenzó a jurar y perjurar, diciendo:
—¡No conozco a ese hombre de quien ustedes están hablando!
72 En aquel mismo momento cantó el gallo por segunda vez, y Pedro se acordó de que Jesús le había dicho: «Antes que cante el gallo por segunda vez, me negarás tres veces.» Y se echó a llorar.
Mark 14
Modern English Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
14 Now the feasts of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread were two days away. And the chief priests and the scribes looked for a way to seize Him secretly and kill Him. 2 But they said “Not on the feast day, lest there will be an uproar among the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany(B)
3 While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at supper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured the ointment on His head.
4 There were some with indignation within themselves, saying, “Why was this ointment wasted? 5 It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii[a] and given to the poor.” And they grumbled against her.
6 Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish, you may do good to them. But you will not always have Me. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel will be preached throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.”
Judas’ Agreement to Betray Jesus(C)
10 Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them. 11 When they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he looked for how he might conveniently betray Him.
The Passover With the Disciples(D)
12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
13 So He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you there. Follow him. 14 Wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it as He had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
17 In the evening He came with the twelve. 18 As they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” and another, “Is it I?”
20 He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread in the dish with Me. 21 The Son of Man indeed goes as it is written concerning Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”
The Lord’s Supper(E)
22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “Take and eat it. This is My body.”
23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them. And they all drank from it.
24 He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, 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 when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Peter’s Denial Foretold(F)
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’[b]
28 But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31 But he said more vehemently, “If I must die with You, I will not deny You.” They all said the same thing.
The Prayer in Gethsemane(G)
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. And He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter and James and John with Him and began to be greatly distressed and very troubled. 34 And He said to them, “My soul is deeply sorrowful unto death. Remain here and keep watch.”
35 He went a little farther and fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Then He came and found them sleeping and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again He went away and prayed the same words. 40 When He returned, He again found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41 When He returned a third time, He said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise up, let us go. Look! He who betrays Me is at hand.”
The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus(H)
43 Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 Now he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One. Seize Him and lead Him away safely.” 45 So as soon as he came, he went to Him immediately and said, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 46 They laid hands on Him and seized Him. 47 Then one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would a thief? 49 Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” 50 Then they all deserted Him and fled.
The Young Man Who Fled
51 A young man followed Him, wearing a linen cloth around himself. And the young men laid hold of him, 52 so he left the linen cloth, and fled from them unclothed.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(I)
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled with him. 54 Peter followed Him at a distance into the courtyard of the high priest. He sat with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin requested testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 Many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.
57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.’ ” 59 But still their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Do You answer nothing? What is it which these men testify against You?” 61 But He kept silent and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63 The high priest tore his robes, saying, “What need do we have of any further witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned Him as guilty unto death. 65 Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to strike Him, saying to Him, “Prophesy!” And the guards struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Peter’s Denial of Jesus(J)
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” Then he went out to the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again, he denied it.
A little while later, those who stood by said again to Peter, “Surely, you are one of them. For you are a Galilean, and your speech confirms it.”
71 Peter began to invoke a curse on himself, and to swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak.”
72 And the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought on this, he wept.

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.

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.
