Mark 14:32-52

New American Standard Bible

Jesus in Gethsemane

^32 (A)They *came to a place named ^[a]Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.” ³³ And He *took with Him Peter, ^[b]James, and John, and began to be very ^(B)distressed and troubled. ³⁴ And He *said to them, “^(C)My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and ^[c]keep watch.” ³⁵ And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began praying that if it were possible, ^(D)the hour might ^[d]pass Him by. ³⁶ And He was saying, “^(E)Abba! ^[e]Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; ^(F)yet not what I will, but what You will.” ³⁷ And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not ^[f]keep watch for one hour? ^38 [g](G)Keep watching and praying, so that you will not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ³⁹ And again He went away and prayed, saying the same ^[h]words. ⁴⁰ And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say in reply to Him. ⁴¹ And He *came the third time, and *said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough. ^(H)The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being ^[i]betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”

Betrayal and Arrest

^43 (I)And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, *came up, ^[j]accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who were from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him and lead Him away ^[k]under guard.” ⁴⁵ And after coming, Judas immediately went to Him and *said, “^(J)Rabbi!” and kissed Him. ⁴⁶ And they laid hands on Him and arrested Him. ⁴⁷ But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and ^[l]cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a man inciting a revolt? ⁴⁹ Every day I was with you ^(K)within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me; but this has taken place so that the Scriptures will be fulfilled.” ⁵⁰ And ^[m]His disciples all left Him and fled.

⁵¹ A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him. ⁵² But he ^[n]pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.
