马可福音 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
谋害耶稣
14 再过两天就是逾越节和除酵节,祭司长和律法教师正暗暗地找机会拘捕、杀害耶稣。
2 他们说:“我们不能在节期那天下手,以免在百姓中引起骚乱。”
耶稣受膏
3 耶稣在伯大尼村患过麻风病的西门家里吃饭,有个女人带了一瓶极贵重的纯哪哒香膏进来,把玉瓶打破,将香膏倒在耶稣头上。 4 有些人生气地彼此议论说:“为什么这样浪费? 5 这瓶香膏可以卖三百多个银币[a]来周济穷人。”他们就责备那女人。
6 耶稣说:“随她吧!何必为难她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。 7 因为你们身边总会有穷人,你们随时都可以帮助他们,可是你们身边不会总有我。 8 她做了自己能做的。她是为我的安葬做准备,提前用香膏抹了我的身体。 9 我实在告诉你们,无论福音传到世界哪个角落,人们都会传扬这女人的事迹,纪念她。”
犹大出卖耶稣
10 十二门徒当中的加略人犹大去见祭司长,要把耶稣出卖给他们。 11 他们听了喜出望外,答应给他酬金。于是犹大伺机出卖耶稣。
最后的晚餐
12 除酵节的第一天,就是宰杀逾越节羔羊的那天,门徒问耶稣:“我们该到什么地方为你准备逾越节的晚餐呢?”
13 耶稣就派了两个门徒,并嘱咐他们:“你们进城会看到一个人带着一瓶水迎面而来,你们就跟着他。 14 他进哪一家,你们也跟着进去,对那家的主人说,‘我们的老师问你,祂的客房在哪里,祂要和门徒在里面吃逾越节的晚餐。’ 15 主人会带你们到楼上一间布置整齐的大房间,你们就在那里准备吧。”
16 两个门徒出去,进了城,所遇见的果然和耶稣所说的一样。他们预备了逾越节的晚餐。
17 傍晚时分,耶稣带着十二门徒来了。 18 用餐的时候,耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,你们中间有一个人要出卖我,他现在正和我同桌吃饭。”
19 他们听了都感到不安,一个一个地问耶稣:“不是我吧?” 20 耶稣说:“是你们十二个人中的一个,他现在正和我一起在盘子里蘸饼吃。 21 人子一定会受害,正如圣经的记载,但出卖人子的人有祸了,他还不如不生在这世上!”
22 他们吃的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝谢后,便掰开,分给门徒,说:“拿去吃吧!这是我的身体。” 23 接着又拿起杯来,祝谢后,递给他们,他们都喝了。 24 耶稣说:“这是我为万人所流的立约之血。 25 我实在告诉你们,从今天起,一直到我在上帝的国喝新酒的那天之前,我不会再喝这葡萄酒。”
26 他们唱完诗歌,就出门去了橄榄山。
预言彼得不认主
27 耶稣对他们说:“你们都要背弃我,因为圣经上说,
“‘我要击打牧人,
羊群将四散。’
28 但我复活后,要先你们一步去加利利。”
29 彼得说:“即使所有人都背弃你,我也决不会背弃你!”
30 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你,就在今天晚上鸡叫两次以前,你会三次不认我。”
31 彼得郑重地说:“就算要我跟你一起死,我也不会不认你。”其他门徒也都这样说。
客西马尼园的祷告
32 他们到了客西马尼园,耶稣对门徒说:“你们坐在这里,我要去祷告。”
33 于是耶稣带着彼得、雅各和约翰向前走。祂觉得极其难过,非常伤痛, 34 说:“我心里非常忧伤,几乎要死,你们留在这里警醒。” 35 耶稣往前走了不远,俯伏在地祷告,如果可以,不要让那时刻临到祂。
36 祂说:“阿爸,父啊,你无所不能,求你撤去此杯。然而,愿你的旨意成就,而非我的意愿。”
37 祂回来,见他们都睡着了,就对彼得说:“西门,你在睡觉吗?你不能警醒一时吗? 38 你们要警醒祷告,免得陷入诱惑。你们的心灵虽然愿意,肉体却很软弱。”
39 耶稣又去祷告,所祈求的跟上次一样。 40 祂回来时见他们又睡着了,因为他们困得眼皮发沉,也不知道对祂说什么。 41 祂第三次祷告回来后,对他们说:“你们还在睡觉休息吗?够了,时候到了,看啊,人子要被出卖、交在罪人的手里了。 42 起来,我们走吧。看啊,出卖我的人已经来了!”
耶稣被捕
43 耶稣还在说话的时候,十二门徒之一的犹大已带了一群人拿着刀棍迎面而来。他们奉了祭司长、律法教师和长老之命来捉拿耶稣。 44 出卖耶稣的犹大预先和他们定了暗号,说:“我亲吻谁,谁就是耶稣,你们把祂抓起来,小心押走。”
45 犹大随即走到耶稣跟前说:“老师。”然后就亲吻耶稣。 46 其他人就下手捉拿耶稣。 47 站在旁边的一个门徒拔出刀朝大祭司的奴仆砍去,削掉了他一只耳朵。
48 耶稣问那群人:“你们像对付强盗一样拿着刀棍来抓我吗? 49 我天天和你们在一起,在圣殿里教导人,你们没有来抓我。你们现在这样做是要应验圣经的话。”
50 那时,门徒都撇下耶稣,各自逃命去了。 51 只有一个身上披着一块麻布的青年跟着耶稣。他们上去捉他, 52 他丢了那块麻布,赤身逃走了。
大祭司审问耶稣
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里,众祭司长、长老和律法教师都来了。 54 那时彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直来到大祭司的院子,与卫兵们坐在一起烤火。 55 祭司长和全公会的人正在寻找证据控告耶稣,要定祂死罪,只是找不到。 56 不少人作伪证控告祂,他们的证词却不一致。 57 后来,有几个人站起来作伪证说: 58 “我们听见祂说,‘我要拆毁这座人手建造的圣殿,三天内不靠人力另造一座。’” 59 即使这样,他们的证词也不一致。
60 最后,大祭司在众人面前站起来质问耶稣:“你不回答吗?这些人作证控告你的是什么呢?”
61 耶稣还是沉默不语,什么也不答。大祭司又问祂:“你是那当受称颂者的儿子基督吗?” 62 耶稣说:“我是!将来你们要看见人子坐在全能上帝的右边,驾着天上的云降临。”
63 大祭司便撕裂衣服,说:“我们还需要什么证人呢? 64 你们听见祂说亵渎的话了,你们看怎么办?”他们都判祂死罪。
65 有几个人向祂吐唾沫,蒙上祂的眼睛,挥拳打祂,嘲笑祂说:“你说预言吧!”卫兵押祂下去时,也打祂。
彼得三次不认耶稣
66 那时,彼得仍在院子里,大祭司的一个婢女走过来, 67 见彼得在烤火,打量了他一番,说:“你也是那个拿撒勒人耶稣的同伙。”
68 “我不知道也不明白你在说什么!”彼得一边否认,一边躲到外院去。那时,鸡叫了。
69 一会儿,那婢女又看见彼得,就对旁边的人说:“他是跟他们一伙的!” 70 彼得又加以否认。
再过了一会儿,旁观的人也指着彼得说:“你一定是跟他们一伙的,因为你也是加利利人!”
71 彼得又赌咒又发誓,说:“我根本不认识你们说的这个人。” 72 就在这时候,鸡又叫了。彼得突然想起耶稣曾对他说:“在鸡叫两次以前,你会三次不认我”,忍不住痛哭起来。

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Omukazi Asiiga Yesu Amafuta ag’Omuwendo
14 (A)Embaga ey’Okuyitako[a], kwe baliira emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, yali ebuzaayo ennaku bbiri etuuke. Bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne basala olukwe engeri gye banaakwata Yesu bamutte. 2 Ne bagamba nti, “Si mu kiseera ky’embaga y’Okuyitako, kubanga abantu bayinza okuleetawo akeegugungo.”
3 (B)Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu ng’ali Besaniya mu nnyumba y’omusajja eyali amanyiddwa nga Simooni Omugenge, ng’atudde, omukazi n’ayingira ng’alina eccupa, eyalimu amafuta ag’akaloosa ag’omuwendo omungi. N’ayasa eccupa n’asiiga amafuta ku mutwe gwa Yesu. 4 Abamu ku abo abaaliwo ne basunguwalira nnyo ekikolwa ekyo, nga beebuuza nti, “Amafuta ago gafudde ki? 5 Wakiri singa gatundiddwa dinaali ezisukka mu bikumi ebisatu, ne ziweebwa abaavu!” Ne bamwemulugunyiza.
6 Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omukazi mumuleke. Lwaki mumuteganya? Ankoledde ekikolwa kirungi. 7 (C)Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, era muyinza okubakolera obulungi buli we mwagalidde, naye Nze sijja kubeera nammwe bulijjo. 8 (D)Akoze ky’asobola, omubiri gwange agusiigiddewo amafuta ag’akaloosa nga bukyali, ng’aguteekateeka okuziikibwa. 9 (E)Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli kifo kyonna Enjiri gy’eneebuulirwanga mu nsi yonna, ekikolwa ky’omukazi ono kinajjukirwanga era kinaayongerwangako okumujjukiranga.”
Yuda Alya mu Yesu Olukwe
10 (F)Awo Yuda Isukalyoti, omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu ekkumi n’ababiri, n’agenda eri bakabona abakulu alabe bw’anaalyamu Yesu olukwe amubawe. 11 Bakabona abakulu bwe baakiwulira ne basanyuka nnyo, ne bamusuubiza okumuwa ensimbi. Bw’atyo Yuda n’atandika okunoonyereza engeri entuufu w’anaaweerayo Yesu.
Ekyekiro kya Mukama Waffe
12 (G)Awo ku lunaku olusooka olw’embaga y’Abayudaaya kwe baliira emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse, nga bawaayo omwana gw’endiga ogw’Okuyitako nga ssaddaaka, abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza nti, “Oyagala tukutegekere wa gy’onooliira Embaga ey’Okuyitako.”
13 N’atuma babiri ku bayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mu kibuga munaasanga omusajja eyeetisse ensuwa y’amazzi, mumugoberere. 14 Muyingire mu nnyumba mw’anaayingira, mubuuze nnyinimu nti, ‘Ekisenge nze n’abayigirizwa bange mwe tunaalira Embaga ey’Okuyitako kiri ludda wa?’ 15 (H)Ajja kubalaga ekisenge ekinene ekya waggulu, ekiwedde okulongoosa n’okutegeka. Muteekereteekere omwo ekijjulo kyaffe.”
16 Awo abayigirizwa ababiri ne bagenda mu kibuga, ne basanga byonna nga Yesu bwe yabibagamba, ne bateekateeka Okuyitako.
17 Obudde bwe bwawungeera n’atuuka n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri. 18 Bwe baali batudde nga balya, Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omu ku mmwe alya nange anandyamu olukwe.”
19 Ennaku n’ebakwata nnyo, ne batandika okumubuuza kinnoomu nti, “Ddala ye nze?”
20 (I)N’abagamba nti, “Omu ku mmwe ekkumi n’ababiri, akoza nange mu kibya. 21 (J)Omwana w’Omuntu agenda ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe biri. Naye zimusanze alya mu Mwana w’Omuntu olukwe. Kyandibadde kirungi singa omuntu oyo teyazaalibwa.”
22 (K)Awo bwe baali balya, Yesu n’addira omugaati, ne yeebaza, n’agumenyaamenyamu, n’agabira abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Mutoole mulye, guno gwe mubiri gwange.”
23 (L)Ate n’addira ekikompe ne yeebaza n’akibawa; bonna ne banywa.
24 (M)N’abagamba nti, “Guno musaayi gwange ogw’endagaano, oguyiika ku lw’abangi. 25 (N)Ddala ddala mbagamba nti sigenda kuddayo kunywa ku kibala kya muzabbibu okutuusa ku lunaku luli lwe ndikinywa nga kisingawo obulungi mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
26 (O)Awo ne bayimbayo oluyimba, ne bafuluma ne bagenda ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
Yesu Ategeeza Peetero nga bw’Anaamwegaana
27 (P)Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe ajja kunjabulira, kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti,
“ ‘Ndikuba omusumba,
endiga ne zisaasaana.’
28 (Q)Naye bwe ndimala okuzuukizibwa, ndibakulembera okugenda e Ggaliraaya.”
29 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Abalala bonna ne bwe banaakwabulira, nze siikwabulire!”
30 (R)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti ekiro kya leero, enkoko eneeba tennakookolima mirundi ebiri, onooneegaana emirundi esatu.”
31 (S)Peetero n’akiggumiza nnyo ng’agamba nti, “Oba kufiira wamu naawe n’afa, naye sijja kukwegaana n’akamu kokka.” N’abalala bonna ne beerayirira bwe batyo.
Yesu mu Gesusemane
32 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne batuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gesusemane, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mugira mutuula wano, ŋŋende nsabe.” 33 (T)N’atwala Peetero, ne Yakobo ne Yokaana; n’atandika okweraliikirira n’okuteganyizibwa mu mutima. 34 (U)N’abagamba nti, “Omwoyo gwange guliko ennaku nnyingi nnyo zaagala na kunzita, kale mubeere wano mukuume.”
35 (V)Ne yeeyongerako mu maaso katono, n’agwa wansi n’asaba obanga kisoboka, essaawa eyo, ereme kutuuka. 36 (W)N’asaba nti, “Aba, Kitange, ebintu byonna bisoboka gy’oli. Nzigyako ekikompe kino. Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula nga ggwe bw’oyagala.”
37 N’akomawo gye bali, n’abasanga nga beebase. N’agamba Peetero nti, “Simooni! Weebase? Tosobodde kutunulako nange wadde essaawa emu? 38 (X)Mutunule musabe, muleme kukemebwa. Omwoyo gwagala, naye omubiri munafu.”
39 Ate n’abaleka awo n’addayo, n’asaba ebigambo bye bimu na biri bye yasaba olubereberye. 40 N’akomawo we bali, n’abasanga nga beebase, kubanga amaaso gaabwe gaali gakambira. Ne batamanya kya kumuddamu.
41 (Y)Bwe yadda gye bali omulundi ogwokusatu n’abagamba nti, “Kale mwebakire ddala. Kinaamala, laba ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abalina ebibi. 42 Musituke! Tugende, laba andyamu olukwe anaatera okutuuka.”
43 (Z)Yesu yali akyayogera, amangwago Yuda (omu ku batume be ekkumi n’ababiri) n’ajja ng’ali n’ekibiina kinene, ekyava ewa bakabona abakulu, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, nga balina ebitala era nga bakutte emiggo.
44 Yuda yali abagambye nti, “Gwe nnanywegera, ye wuuyo mumukwate, mumutwale nga mumunywezezza.” 45 (AA)Awo baali baakatuuka Yuda n’alaga eri Yesu, bwe yamutuukako n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza!” N’amugwa mu kifuba. 46 Ne bavumbagira Yesu ne bamukwata, ne bamunyweza. 47 Naye omu ku baali bayimiridde awo n’asowolayo ekitala n’asalako okutu kw’omuddu wa Kabona Asinga Obukulu.
48 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki munzijjidde ng’omumenyi w’amateeka, n’ebitala n’emiggo okunkwata? 49 (AB)Mbadde nammwe ennaku nnyingi mu yeekaalu nga njigiriza, naye temwankwata. Naye kino kikoleddwa ebyawandiikibwa bituukirire.” 50 (AC)Bonna ne bamwabulira ne badduka.
51 Naye waaliwo omulenzi omuvubuka eyali agoberera ng’avaako ennyuma, nga yeebikkiridde olugoye, lumu lwokka, ne baagezaako okumukwata, 52 n’abeesumattulako, ne basigaza olugoye n’adduka bwereere.
Yesu mu Maaso g’Olukiiko
53 Awo Yesu n’atwalibwa eri Kabona Asinga Obukulu, bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka. 54 (AD)Peetero n’agoberera nga yeesuddeko akabanga, n’ayita mu luggya lwa Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’atuula ku kyoto n’abaweereza we baali bootera omuliro.
55 (AE)Bakabona abakulu, n’Abasaddukaayo bonna,[b] baali banoonya obujulizi kwe banaasinziira okutta Yesu, naye ne bubabula. 56 Bangi baayogera eby’obulimba ku ye, naye obujulizi bwabwe nga bukoonagana bukoonaganyi.
57 Abamu ku bo ne bamuwaayiriza nga bagamba nti, 58 (AF)“Twamuwulira ng’ayogera nti, ‘Ndizikiriza Yeekaalu eno eyazimbibwa n’emikono gy’abantu, naye oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu ndizzaawo endala etazimbiddwa na mikono gy’abantu.’ ” 59 Naye era n’olwo ebigambo byabwe tebyatereera bulungi.
60 Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayimirira, n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Tolina ky’oddamu ku bino bye bakwogerako?” 61 (AG)Yesu n’atamuddamu kintu. Ate Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kristo, Omwana w’oyo atenderezebwa?”
62 (AH)Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ye Nze, era mugenda kulaba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda Ayinzabyonna, ng’akomawo mu bire eby’eggulu.”
63 (AI)Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’agamba nti, “Ate twetaagira ki abajulizi? 64 (AJ)Muwulidde obuvvoozi. Musala mutya omusango guno?”
Bonna ne bamusalira gwa kufa. 65 (AK)Abamu ne batandika okumuwandulira amalusu, ne bamusiba kantuntunu ku maaso, ne bamukuba empi mu maaso, nga bwe bamuduulira nga bagamba nti, “Lagula.” N’abaserikale nabo ne bamukuba ebikonde nga bamufulumya.
Peetero Yeegaana Yesu
66 (AL)Peetero yali ali wabweru mu luggya, omu ku bawala abaweereza ba Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ajja. 67 (AM)Bwe yalaba Peetero n’amwetegereza ng’ayota omuliro, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe, wali ne Yesu, Omunnazaaleesi.”
68 (AN)Peetero ne yeegaana ng’agamba nti, “Simanyi wadde okutegeera by’oyogerako!” N’afuluma n’alaga ebweru mu kisasi, enkoko n’ekookolima.
69 Omuwala oli n’alengera Peetero, n’ategeeza banne abaali bayimiridde awo nti, “Ono ali omu ku bo.” 70 (AO)Peetero n’ayongera okwegaana.[c]
Bwe waayitawo akabanga, abantu abalala abaali bayimiridde awo ne bagamba Peetero nti, “Ddala ddala oli omu ku bo, kubanga oli Mugaliraaya!”
71 (AP)Peetero n’atandika, okukolima n’okulayira nga bw’agamba nti, “Omusajja ono gwe mwogerako, simumanyi.”
72 (AQ)Amangwago enkoko n’ekookolima omulundi ogwokubiri, Peetero n’ajjukira ebigambo Yesu bye yali amugambye nti, “Enkoko eneeba tennakookolima mirundi ebiri, onoonneegaana emirundi esatu.” Awo Peetero n’atulika n’akaaba amaziga.

Mark 14
New Living Translation
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
14 It was now two days before Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law were still looking for an opportunity to capture Jesus secretly and kill him. 2 “But not during the Passover celebration,” they agreed, “or the people may riot.”
3 Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating,[a] a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume over his head.
4 Some of those at the table were indignant. “Why waste such expensive perfume?” they asked. 5 “It could have been sold for a year’s wages[b] and the money given to the poor!” So they scolded her harshly.
6 But Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me? 7 You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time. 9 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests to arrange to betray Jesus to them. 11 They were delighted when they heard why he had come, and they promised to give him money. So he began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
The Last Supper
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
13 So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem with these instructions: “As you go into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 At the house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ 15 He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.” 16 So the two disciples went into the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
17 In the evening Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 As they were at the table[c] eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here will betray me.”
19 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one?”
20 He replied, “It is one of you twelve who is eating from this bowl with me. 21 For the Son of Man[d] must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.”
23 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood, which confirms the covenant[e] between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many. 25 I tell you the truth, I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
26 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
27 On the way, Jesus told them, “All of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say,
‘God will strike[f] the Shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 But after I am raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”
29 Peter said to him, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I never will.”
30 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
31 “No!” Peter declared emphatically. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the others vowed the same.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
32 They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed. 34 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
35 He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. 36 “Abba, Father,”[g] he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
37 Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? 38 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39 Then Jesus left them again and prayed the same prayer as before. 40 When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open. And they didn’t know what to say.
41 When he returned to them the third time, he said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But no—the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!”
Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
43 And immediately, even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders. 44 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss. Then you can take him away under guard.” 45 As soon as they arrived, Judas walked up to Jesus. “Rabbi!” he exclaimed, and gave him the kiss.
46 Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 47 But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, slashing off his ear.
48 Jesus asked them, “Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? 49 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there among you teaching every day. But these things are happening to fulfill what the Scriptures say about me.”
50 Then all his disciples deserted him and ran away. 51 One young man following behind was clothed only in a long linen shirt. When the mob tried to grab him, 52 he slipped out of his shirt and ran away naked.
Jesus before the Council
53 They took Jesus to the high priest’s home where the leading priests, the elders, and the teachers of religious law had gathered. 54 Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and went right into the high priest’s courtyard. There he sat with the guards, warming himself by the fire.
55 Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council[h] were trying to find evidence against Jesus, so they could put him to death. But they couldn’t find any. 56 Many false witnesses spoke against him, but they contradicted each other. 57 Finally, some men stood up and gave this false testimony: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple made with human hands, and in three days I will build another, made without human hands.’” 59 But even then they didn’t get their stories straight!
60 Then the high priest stood up before the others and asked Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?” 61 But Jesus was silent and made no reply. Then the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Jesus said, “I am.[i] And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand[j] and coming on the clouds of heaven.[k]”
63 Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Why do we need other witnesses? 64 You have all heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?”
“Guilty!” they all cried. “He deserves to die!”
65 Then some of them began to spit at him, and they blindfolded him and beat him with their fists. “Prophesy to us,” they jeered. And the guards slapped him as they took him away.
Peter Denies Jesus
66 Meanwhile, Peter was in the courtyard below. One of the servant girls who worked for the high priest came by 67 and noticed Peter warming himself at the fire. She looked at him closely and said, “You were one of those with Jesus of Nazareth.[l]”
68 But Peter denied it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, and he went out into the entryway. Just then, a rooster crowed.[m]
69 When the servant girl saw him standing there, she began telling the others, “This man is definitely one of them!” 70 But Peter denied it again.
A little later some of the other bystanders confronted Peter and said, “You must be one of them, because you are a Galilean.”
71 Peter swore, “A curse on me if I’m lying—I don’t know this man you’re talking about!” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed the second time.
Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he broke down and wept.

Mark 14
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.
