商议怎样杀害耶稣(A)
14 过两天,就是逾越节和除酵节了,祭司长和经学家设法怎样用诡计逮捕耶稣,把他杀害。 2 不过他们说:“不可在节期下手,免得引起民众暴动。”
伯大尼妇人用香膏膏主(B)
3 耶稣在伯大尼,在患痲风的西门家里吃饭的时候,有一个女人来了,拿着一瓶珍贵的纯哪哒香膏。她打破了瓶,把香膏浇在耶稣的头上。 4 有几个人很生气,彼此说:“为甚么这样浪费香膏呢? 5 这香膏可以卖三百多个银币,用来赒济穷人。”他们就向她发怒。 6 但耶稣说:“由她吧!为甚么难为她呢?她在我身上作的是一件美事。 7 你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起,只要你们愿意,随时都可以向他们行善,然而你们却不常有我。 8 她已经尽她所能的作了。她预先用香膏膏了我的身体,是为了我的安葬。 9 我实在告诉你们,福音无论传到世界上甚么地方,都要传讲这女人所作的来记念她。”
犹大出卖耶稣(C)
10 十二门徒中的一个,就是加略人犹大,去见祭司长,要把耶稣交给他们。 11 他们听见了就很欢喜,答应给他银子。于是犹大就找机会出卖耶稣。
最后的晚餐(D)
12 除酵节的第一天,就是宰杀逾越节羊羔的那一天,门徒问耶稣:“你要我们到哪里去,为你预备逾越节的晚餐呢?” 13 他就差派两个门徒,对他们说:“你们到城里去,必有一个拿着水瓶的人,向你们迎面而来,你们就跟着他, 14 无论他进入哪一家,你们要对那家主说,老师说:‘我的客厅在哪里?我和门徒好在那里吃逾越节的晚餐。’ 15 他必指给你们楼上一间布置整齐、预备妥当的大房间,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,就预备好了逾越节的晚餐。
17 到了晚上,耶稣和十二门徒来了。 18 他们坐着吃饭的时候,耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,你们中间有一个跟我一起吃饭的人要出卖我。” 19 他们就很忧愁,一个一个地问他:“是我吗?” 20 耶稣对他们说:“他是十二门徒里的一个,和我一同把手蘸在盘子里的。 21 正如经上指着人子所说的,他固然要离世,但出卖人子的那人有祸了!他没有生下来还好。”
22 他们吃的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝谢了,就擘开,递给门徒,说:“你们拿去吃吧,这是我的身体。” 23 又拿起杯来,祝谢了就递给门徒,他们都喝了。 24 耶稣说:“这是我的血,是为立约的,为许多人流出来的。 25 我实在告诉你们,我决不再喝这葡萄酒,直到我在 神的国里喝新酒的那一天。”
26 他们唱完了诗,就出来,往橄榄山去。
预言彼得不认主(E)
27 耶稣对他们说:“你们都要后退,因为经上记着:
‘我要击打牧人,
羊群就分散了。’
28 但我复活以后,要比你们先到加利利去。” 29 彼得对他说:“就算所有的人都后退,我却不会。” 30 耶稣对他说:“我实在告诉你,就在今天晚上,鸡叫两遍以前,你会三次不认我。” 31 彼得更坚决地说:“就算必须与你一同死,我也决不会不认你!”众人也都这样说。
在客西马尼祷告(F)
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,我去祷告。” 33 他带了彼得、雅各、约翰一起去,就惊惧起来,非常难过。 34 于是对他们说:“我的心灵痛苦得快要死了;你们要留在这里,也要警醒。” 35 耶稣稍往前走,俯伏在地上祷告:如果可能的话,使那时刻不要临到他。 36 他说:“阿爸、父啊,你凡事都能作,求你叫这杯离开我。但不要照我的意思,只要照你的旨意。” 37 耶稣回来,看见门徒睡着了,就对彼得说:“西门,你睡觉吗?你连一个小时也不能警醒吗? 38 应当警醒、祷告,免得陷入试探;你们心灵虽然愿意,肉体却是软弱的。” 39 耶稣又去祷告,说的也是同样的话。 40 他再回来的时候,看见门徒睡着了;因为他们十分疲倦,不知道该怎样回答他。 41 耶稣第三次回来,对他们说:“你们还在睡觉休息吗?够了,时候到了,看哪,人子要被交在罪人手里了。 42 起来,我们走吧!出卖我的人来了。”
耶稣被捕(G)
43 耶稣还在说话的时候,十二门徒中的犹大和一群拿着刀棒的人来到了;他们是祭司长、经学家和长老派来的。 44 出卖耶稣的人给他们一个暗号,说:“我跟谁亲吻,谁就是他。你们把他逮捕,小心带去。” 45 犹大来到,立刻上前对耶稣说:“拉比!”就跟他亲吻。 46 他们就动手拿住耶稣,逮捕了他。 47 站在旁边的人中有一个拔出刀来,砍了大祭司的仆人一刀,削掉了他的一只耳朵。 48 耶稣对他们说:“你们带着刀棒出来,把我当作强盗捉拿吗? 49 我天天在殿里教导人,跟你们在一起,你们却没有捉拿我;但这是为了要应验经上的话。” 50 门徒都离开他逃跑了。
51 有一个青年,赤身披着一块麻布,跟着耶稣。众人捉住他的时候, 52 他就丢掉麻布,赤身逃跑了。
大祭司审问耶稣(H)
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里,所有的祭司长、长老和经学家都聚集在一起。 54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣,直到大祭司的官邸,和差役一同坐着烤火。 55 祭司长和公议会全体都寻找证据控告耶稣,要把他处死,却没有找着。 56 有许多人作假证供控告他,但他们的证供各不相符。 57 有几个人站起来,作假证供控告他说: 58 “我们听他说过:‘我要拆毁这座人手所造的圣所,三日之内要另建一座不是人手所造的圣所。’” 59 就是这样的见证,他们也不一致。 60 大祭司站起来,走到中间,问耶稣:“这些人作证控告你的是甚么呢?你怎么不回答呢?” 61 耶稣却不作声,甚么也不回答。大祭司又问他:“你是那受称颂者的儿子基督吗?” 62 耶稣说:“我是。你们要看见人子,坐在权能者的右边,驾着天上的云降临。” 63 大祭司就撕开自己的衣服,说:“我们还要甚么证人呢? 64 你们都听见这亵渎的话了。你们认为怎么样?”众人都定他该死的罪。 65 于是有些人就向他吐唾沫,蒙住他的脸。用拳头打他,对他说:“你说预言吧!”差役把他拉去,用手掌打他。
彼得三次不认主(I)
66 彼得在下边院子的时候,大祭司的一个婢女来了, 67 看见彼得烤火,就瞪着他说:“你也是和拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的!” 68 彼得却否认说:“我不知道,也不明白你在说甚么!”他就走出去,到了前院,鸡就叫了(有些抄本无“鸡就叫了”一句)。 69 那婢女看见他,又对站在旁边的人说:“这个人也是他们一伙的。” 70 彼得还是不承认。过了一会,站在旁边的人也对彼得说:“你真是他们一伙的,因为你也是加利利人。” 71 彼得就发咒起誓说:“我不认得你们说的这个人!” 72 立刻鸡就叫了第二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话:“鸡叫两遍以前,你要三次不认我。”他一想起来,就哭了(“他一想起来,就哭了”或译:“他就夺步而出,痛哭起来”)。

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 Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
犹太人首领计划杀害耶稣
14 还有两天就到犹太逾越节和除酵节了。祭司长和律法师们想设法用诡计把耶稣抓起来杀掉。 2 可他们又说∶“我们决不能在过节的时候动手,免得引起人们暴动。”
一位女子荣耀耶稣
3 在伯大尼,耶稣在麻风病人西门家里,正倚着桌子坐着,一位女子拿着一个雪花石制成的罐子,里面装满纯哪哒制成的昂贵香膏。她打破罐子,把香膏倒在耶稣头上。
4 旁边的人见了都非常生气,议论说∶“为什么要浪费这些香膏呢?它值一年的工钱呢,我们可以拿卖它的钱救济穷人。” 5 于是他们就责怪起那位妇人。
6 耶稣说∶“随她吧。你们为什么要和她过不去呢?她为我做了一件大好事。 7 因为总有穷人和你们在一起,所以你们想在什么时候帮助他们都可以。可是你们将不会常有我。 8 她已经尽力而为了。她事先把香膏倒在我身上,为我的葬礼做准备。 9 我实话告诉你们:普天下只要是福音传到的地方,这女子的所作所为将被永远传颂纪念。”
犹大同意帮助耶稣的敌人
10 十二使徒中的加略人犹大到祭司长那里,要把耶稣出卖给他们。 11 那些人听了犹大的话十分高兴,许诺给他赏钱。从此,犹大便开始伺机出卖耶稣。
逾越节的宴席
12 在除酵节的第一天,就是宰杀逾越节的羔羊 [a]的日子,耶稣的门徒们对他说∶“您想要我们到哪里去为您准备逾越节的晚宴呢?”
13 耶稣于是吩咐两个门徒说∶“你们到城里去,在那儿你们会遇见一个提着一罐水的人。你们跟着他走, 14 不管他走进哪座房子,你们也跟进去,对房主说∶‘老师问你:哪间客房是我和我的使徒吃逾越节宴的地方?’ 15 他会带你们到楼上的一个大房间里去,房间里的摆设一切俱全,这房间已准备好了。你们就在那里为我们预备宴席。”
16 那两个门徒动身到城里去,发现一切正像耶稣所说的。于是,他们把逾越节的宴席准备好了。
17 晚上,耶稣和十二使徒来了。 18 他们在餐桌边吃饭时,耶稣说∶“我实话告诉你们,你们当中有个人要出卖我,他现在正和我一起吃饭。”
19 使徒听到此都很难过,每个人都对耶稣说∶“这个人肯定不是我吧?”
20 耶稣说∶“他就是你们十二人当中的一个,他正在和我在同一个碟子里蘸饼。 21 人子就要走了,就像《经》上记载的一样。但是那个出卖人子的人定要遭殃了,他还不如不出世好。”
主的晚餐
22 当他们吃饭的时候,耶稣拿起饼,向上帝谢恩之后,然后他掰开饼,分给使徒们。他说∶“拿去,吃了这饼,这是我的身体。”
23 耶稣又端起酒 [b]杯,向上帝谢恩以后,把杯子递给使徒,他们都喝了杯中的酒。 24 耶稣说∶“这是我的血,它是为了宽恕许多人而流的,以便开始上帝对他子民的新契约。 25 我实话告诉你们,我再也不喝酒了,直到我在上帝的王国里饮新酒的那天。”
26 他们一起唱了圣歌,然后到橄榄山去了。
耶稣说他的门徒将离开他
27 耶稣对门徒们说∶“你们都将丧失信仰。因为《经》上写着:
‘我要杀死牧羊人。
羊群就会四处逃散。’ (A)
28 但是在我复活以后,我会比你们先到加利利。”
29 这时彼得说∶“即使其他所有的人对您失去了信仰,我也不会这样做。”
30 耶稣对他说∶“我实话告诉你:今天,就在今夜鸡叫两遍以前,你会三次说你不认识我。”
31 彼得却坚决地说∶“即使我必须和您一同死,我也决不会说我不认识您。”其他门徒也这么说。
独自祈祷
32 耶稣他们来到一个叫作客西马尼的地方。耶稣对门徒们说∶“我去祈祷,你们坐在这里。” 33 他带着彼得、雅各和约翰一起去了。这时耶稣非常悲伤痛苦。 34 他对他们说∶“我内心充满了沉重的悲伤,我痛苦得快要死了。和我一起警惕地守候着吧。”
35 耶稣又向前走了一点,匍匐在地上祈祷。祈求如果有可能,让他免遭那受难的时刻。 36 他说∶“阿爸 [c],父,上帝,您是万能的,把这杯苦酒端开吧。不过,请不要做我想的事,而是按您的意愿去做吧。”
37 耶稣返回来,发现彼得他们都睡着了。他叫彼得∶“西门,你睡着了吗?难道你和我在一起时,连一个钟头都不能清醒吗? 38 清醒吧,祈祷吧,免受诱惑。虽然你们的心灵愿意,但是你们的肉体却是软弱的。”
39 耶稣又去祈祷,仍旧祈祷刚才那番话。 40 然后,他又回到门徒那里,发现他们又睡着了。他们困得睁不开眼睛,不知对耶稣说什么才好。
41 耶稣祈祷了第三次,回来时,对彼得他们说∶“你们还在睡觉休息呢,够了!时辰到了!人子就要被出卖,落到罪人的手里。 42 起来,咱们得走了!你们瞧,出卖我的人来了。”
耶稣被捕
43 耶稣正说话时,十二使徒中的犹大,祭司长、律法师和年长的犹太首领派来的一大群人来了。他们手拿着刀剑和棍棒。
44 出卖耶稣的犹大已和他们约定了暗号。他说∶“我吻的人就是耶稣,你们把他抓起来押走。” 45 犹大一来就径直朝耶稣走去,说“拉比(老师)!”然后就吻他。 46 于是,那些人抓住耶稣,逮捕了他。 。 47 站在耶稣近处的一个门徒拔出剑来,朝大祭司 [d]的奴仆砍去,砍掉了他的一只耳朵。
48 这时耶稣对他们说∶“你们这么拿刀动棍地来抓我,好像我是一个罪犯。 49 我每天在大殿院里传教时都和你们在一起,那时候你们却不来抓我。不过,这样的情形恰好应验了《经》上的话。” 50 这时,耶稣的门徒们都抛下他逃走了。
51 可是有个年轻人仍然跟着耶稣。他赤身披着一块麻布片。那些人想抓住他, 52 年轻人甩下麻布片,赤身裸体地跑了。
耶稣在犹太首领面前
53 那伙人把耶稣押到大祭司的府邸。所有的祭司长、年长的犹太首领和律法师们都来了。 54 彼得远远地跟着耶稣,也进了大祭司的院子。他和警卫们在一起,坐在火堆边取暖。
55 祭司长们和议会所有的人们都企图找到证据判耶稣死刑,可是谁也找不到。 56 虽然有许多人作伪证陷害耶稣,但他们的证词却彼此矛盾。
57 这时有一些人站起来作伪证,他们说: 58 “我们听他说过这样的话∶‘我要把这座人造的大殿毁掉,并在三天之内重建一座殿,一座不是由人建造的殿。’” 59 即使在这一点上,人们的说法也彼此不一致。
60 这时大祭司站起来,问耶稣说∶“这些人在控告你,你有什么要辩解的吗?对这些人的证词,你有什么要说的?” 61 耶稣沉默不语。
大祭司又问道∶“你就是受到祝福的上帝之子基督吗?”
62 耶稣回答说∶“我是。你们将看到人子坐在万能的上帝右边,驾着天上的云来临。”
63 大祭司听了这话,非常懊恼,撕扯着自己的衣服说∶“我们不再需要别的证据了! 64 你们都听见了他这些亵渎上帝的话。你们说该怎么办?”
所有的人都诅咒耶稣,说他有罪,说他该死。 65 有些人还朝耶稣吐唾沫,蒙住他的脸,用拳头打他,还对他说∶“先知,说说是谁在打你呢。”卫兵们带走了耶稣,还殴打他。
彼得不敢说他认识耶稣
66 那时彼得还在院子里。大祭司的一个女仆走进来, 67 看见彼得正在烤火,她仔细打量他, 说道∶“你也是和那个拿撒勒的耶稣在一起的人。”
68 彼得不敢承认,说∶“我不明白你在说什么。”然后他就躲到院子外面的过道上去了。这时候鸡叫头遍。
69 那个女仆又看见彼得,就对站在周围的人说∶“这人是和耶稣在一起的。” 70 彼得仍旧否认。
又过了一会,站在周围的人对彼得说∶“你肯定是和耶稣在一起的,因为你是加利利人。”
71 彼得用自己的性命赌咒发誓说∶“我不认识你们提到的那个人。” 72 这时,鸡叫二遍。彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话∶“鸡叫两遍之前,你会三次说不认识我。”他忍不住痛哭起来。

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.

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.
