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。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
商議怎樣殺害耶穌(A)
14 過兩天，就是逾越節和除酵節了，祭司長和經學家設法怎樣用詭計逮捕耶穌，把他殺害。 2 不過他們說：“不可在節期下手，免得引起民眾暴動。”
伯大尼婦人用香膏膏主(B)
3 耶穌在伯大尼，在患痲風的西門家裡吃飯的時候，有一個女人來了，拿著一瓶珍貴的純哪噠香膏。她打破了瓶，把香膏澆在耶穌的頭上。 4 有幾個人很生氣，彼此說：“為甚麼這樣浪費香膏呢？ 5 這香膏可以賣三百多個銀幣，用來賙濟窮人。”他們就向她發怒。 6 但耶穌說：“由她吧！為甚麼難為她呢？她在我身上作的是一件美事。 7 你們常常有窮人跟你們在一起，只要你們願意，隨時都可以向他們行善，然而你們卻不常有我。 8 她已經盡她所能的作了。她預先用香膏膏了我的身體，是為了我的安葬。 9 我實在告訴你們，福音無論傳到世界上甚麼地方，都要傳講這女人所作的來記念她。”
猶大出賣耶穌(C)
10 十二門徒中的一個，就是加略人猶大，去見祭司長，要把耶穌交給他們。 11 他們聽見了就很歡喜，答應給他銀子。於是猶大就找機會出賣耶穌。
最後的晚餐(D)
12 除酵節的第一天，就是宰殺逾越節羊羔的那一天，門徒問耶穌：“你要我們到哪裡去，為你預備逾越節的晚餐呢？” 13 他就差派兩個門徒，對他們說：“你們到城裡去，必有一個拿著水瓶的人，向你們迎面而來，你們就跟著他， 14 無論他進入哪一家，你們要對那家主說，老師說：‘我的客廳在哪裡？我和門徒好在那裡吃逾越節的晚餐。’ 15 他必指給你們樓上一間布置整齊、預備妥當的大房間，你們就在那裡為我們預備。” 16 門徒出去，進了城，所遇見的正如耶穌所說的，就預備好了逾越節的晚餐。
17 到了晚上，耶穌和十二門徒來了。 18 他們坐著吃飯的時候，耶穌說：“我實在告訴你們，你們中間有一個跟我一起吃飯的人要出賣我。” 19 他們就很憂愁，一個一個地問他：“是我嗎？” 20 耶穌對他們說：“他是十二門徒裡的一個，和我一同把手蘸在盤子裡的。 21 正如經上指著人子所說的，他固然要離世，但出賣人子的那人有禍了！他沒有生下來還好。”
22 他們吃的時候，耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝了，就擘開，遞給門徒，說：“你們拿去吃吧，這是我的身體。” 23 又拿起杯來，祝謝了就遞給門徒，他們都喝了。 24 耶穌說：“這是我的血，是為立約的，為許多人流出來的。 25 我實在告訴你們，我決不再喝這葡萄酒，直到我在 神的國裡喝新酒的那一天。”
26 他們唱完了詩，就出來，往橄欖山去。
預言彼得不認主(E)
27 耶穌對他們說：“你們都要後退，因為經上記著：
‘我要擊打牧人，
羊群就分散了。’
28 但我復活以後，要比你們先到加利利去。” 29 彼得對他說：“就算所有的人都後退，我卻不會。” 30 耶穌對他說：“我實在告訴你，就在今天晚上，雞叫兩遍以前，你會三次不認我。” 31 彼得更堅決地說：“就算必須與你一同死，我也決不會不認你！”眾人也都這樣說。
在客西馬尼禱告(F)
32 他們來到一個地方，名叫客西馬尼；耶穌對門徒說：“你們坐在這裡，我去禱告。” 33 他帶了彼得、雅各、約翰一起去，就驚懼起來，非常難過。 34 於是對他們說：“我的心靈痛苦得快要死了；你們要留在這裡，也要警醒。” 35 耶穌稍往前走，俯伏在地上禱告：如果可能的話，使那時刻不要臨到他。 36 他說：“阿爸、父啊，你凡事都能作，求你叫這杯離開我。但不要照我的意思，只要照你的旨意。” 37 耶穌回來，看見門徒睡著了，就對彼得說：“西門，你睡覺嗎？你連一個小時也不能警醒嗎？ 38 應當警醒、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，說的也是同樣的話。 40 他再回來的時候，看見門徒睡著了；因為他們十分疲倦，不知道該怎樣回答他。 41 耶穌第三次回來，對他們說：“你們還在睡覺休息嗎？夠了，時候到了，看哪，人子要被交在罪人手裡了。 42 起來，我們走吧！出賣我的人來了。”
耶穌被捕(G)
43 耶穌還在說話的時候，十二門徒中的猶大和一群拿著刀棒的人來到了；他們是祭司長、經學家和長老派來的。 44 出賣耶穌的人給他們一個暗號，說：“我跟誰親吻，誰就是他。你們把他逮捕，小心帶去。” 45 猶大來到，立刻上前對耶穌說：“拉比！”就跟他親吻。 46 他們就動手拿住耶穌，逮捕了他。 47 站在旁邊的人中有一個拔出刀來，砍了大祭司的僕人一刀，削掉了他的一隻耳朵。 48 耶穌對他們說：“你們帶著刀棒出來，把我當作強盜捉拿嗎？ 49 我天天在殿裡教導人，跟你們在一起，你們卻沒有捉拿我；但這是為了要應驗經上的話。” 50 門徒都離開他逃跑了。
51 有一個青年，赤身披著一塊麻布，跟著耶穌。眾人捉住他的時候， 52 他就丟掉麻布，赤身逃跑了。
大祭司審問耶穌(H)
53 他們把耶穌押到大祭司那裡，所有的祭司長、長老和經學家都聚集在一起。 54 彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌，直到大祭司的官邸，和差役一同坐著烤火。 55 祭司長和公議會全體都尋找證據控告耶穌，要把他處死，卻沒有找著。 56 有許多人作假證供控告他，但他們的證供各不相符。 57 有幾個人站起來，作假證供控告他說： 58 “我們聽他說過：‘我要拆毀這座人手所造的聖所，三日之內要另建一座不是人手所造的聖所。’” 59 就是這樣的見證，他們也不一致。 60 大祭司站起來，走到中間，問耶穌：“這些人作證控告你的是甚麼呢？你怎麼不回答呢？” 61 耶穌卻不作聲，甚麼也不回答。大祭司又問他：“你是那受稱頌者的兒子基督嗎？” 62 耶穌說：“我是。你們要看見人子，坐在權能者的右邊，駕著天上的雲降臨。” 63 大祭司就撕開自己的衣服，說：“我們還要甚麼證人呢？ 64 你們都聽見這褻瀆的話了。你們認為怎麼樣？”眾人都定他該死的罪。 65 於是有些人就向他吐唾沫，蒙住他的臉。用拳頭打他，對他說：“你說預言吧！”差役把他拉去，用手掌打他。
彼得三次不認主(I)
66 彼得在下邊院子的時候，大祭司的一個婢女來了， 67 看見彼得烤火，就瞪著他說：“你也是和拿撒勒人耶穌一夥的！” 68 彼得卻否認說：“我不知道，也不明白你在說甚麼！”他就走出去，到了前院，雞就叫了（有些抄本無“雞就叫了”一句）。 69 那婢女看見他，又對站在旁邊的人說：“這個人也是他們一夥的。” 70 彼得還是不承認。過了一會，站在旁邊的人也對彼得說：“你真是他們一夥的，因為你也是加利利人。” 71 彼得就發咒起誓說：“我不認得你們說的這個人！” 72 立刻雞就叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶穌對他說過的話：“雞叫兩遍以前，你要三次不認我。”他一想起來，就哭了（“他一想起來，就哭了”或譯：“他就奪步而出，痛哭起來”）。
Mark 14
King James Version
14 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 there be an uproar of the people.
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 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
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 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
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 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
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 unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
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 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 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 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 shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
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 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
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 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 answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
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 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 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 unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
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 when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
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 that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
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 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 came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
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 unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
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 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; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
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 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 as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
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 Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
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 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
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 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 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
57 And there arose certain, and bare 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 made without hands.
59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
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 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 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 rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
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 buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
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, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
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 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
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.
Mark 14
New King James Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
14 After (B)two days it was the Passover and (C)the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by [a]trickery and put Him to death. 2 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany(D)
3 (E)And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly [b]oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred (F)denarii and given to the poor.” And they (G)criticized[c] her sharply.
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 (H)For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; (I)but Me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is (J)preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(K)
10 (L)Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
Jesus Celebrates the Passover with His Disciples(M)
12 (N)Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they [d]killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”
13 And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 15 Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”
16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.
17 (O)In the evening He came with the twelve. 18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, (P)one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” [e]And another said, “Is it I?”
20 He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. 21 (Q)The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of 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.”
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(R)
22 (S)And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, [f]eat; this is My (T)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 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [g]new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 (U)And when they had sung [h]a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(V)
27 (W)Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble [i]because of Me this night, for it is written:
(X)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.’
28 “But (Y)after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 (Z)Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to [j]stumble, yet I will not be.”
30 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31 But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And they all said likewise.
The Prayer in the Garden(AA)
32 (AB)Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He (AC)took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, (AD)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and 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 And He said, (AE)“Abba, Father, (AF)all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; (AG)nevertheless, 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 watch one hour? 38 (AH)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AI)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. 40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41 Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! (AJ)The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 (AK)Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(AL)
43 (AM)And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I (AN)kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 (AO)Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple (AP)teaching, and you did not seize Me. But (AQ)the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 (AR)Then they all forsook Him and fled.
A Young Man Flees Naked
51 Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him, 52 and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(AS)
53 (AT)And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were (AU)assembled all the (AV)chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. 54 But (AW)Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.
55 (AX)Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 For many bore (AY)false witness against Him, but their testimonies [k]did not agree.
57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, (AZ)‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” 59 But not even then did their testimony agree.
60 (BA)And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 61 But (BB)He kept silent and answered nothing.
(BC)Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. (BD)And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64 You have heard the (BE)blasphemy! What do you think?”
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of (BF)death.
65 Then some began to (BG)spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [l]struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps(BH)
66 (BI)Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with (BJ)Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 (BK)And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” 70 But he denied it again.
(BL)And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; (BM)for you are a Galilean, [m]and your [n]speech shows it.”
71 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
72 (BN)A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.
