Onda planer mot Jesus
14 (A) Det var nu två dagar kvar till påsken[a] och det osyrade brödets högtid. Översteprästerna och de skriftlärda sökte efter ett sätt att gripa Jesus med list och döda honom. 2 Men de sade: "Inte under högtiden, då kan det bli upplopp bland folket."
En kvinna smörjer Jesus
3 (B) När Jesus var i Betania[b] och låg till bords i Simon den spetälskes hus, kom det en kvinna som hade en alabasterflaska med dyrbar äkta nardusolja[c]. Hon bröt upp flaskan och hällde ut oljan över hans huvud. 4 Några blev upprörda och sade till varandra: "Varför detta slöseri med oljan? 5 Den kunde man ha sålt för mer än tre hundra denarer och gett till de fattiga." Och de grälade på henne.
6 Men Jesus sade: "Låt henne vara! Varför besvärar ni henne? Hon har gjort en god gärning mot mig. 7 De fattiga har ni alltid hos er, och ni kan göra gott mot dem när ni vill. Men mig har ni inte alltid. 8 Hon har gjort vad hon kunde, hon har i förväg smort min kropp för begravningen[d]. 9 Jag säger er sanningen: Överallt i hela världen där evangeliet förkunnas ska man också berätta vad hon gjorde och komma ihåg henne."
Judas förråder Jesus
10 (C) Men Judas Iskariot, en av de tolv, gick bort till översteprästerna för att utlämna Jesus åt dem. 11 När de hörde det, blev de glada och lovade att ge honom pengar. Sedan sökte han efter ett lämpligt tillfälle att förråda honom.
Den sista påskmåltiden
12 (D) På första dagen i det osyrade brödets högtid, när man slaktade påskalammet, frågade hans lärjungar honom: "Vart vill du att vi ska gå och göra i ordning så att du kan äta påskalammet?" 13 Då sände han i väg två av sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Gå in i staden. Där ska ni mötas av en man som bär en vattenkruka[e]. Följ honom. 14 Där han går in ska ni säga till husets ägare: Mästaren frågar: Var är mitt gästrum där jag kan äta påskalammet med mina lärjungar? 15 Då ska han visa er en stor sal på övervåningen som står inredd[f] och färdig. Gör i ordning för oss där." 16 Lärjungarna gick och kom in i staden, och de fann att det var som Jesus hade sagt. Och de gjorde i ordning påskalammet.
17 (E) När det blev kväll kom Jesus dit med de tolv. 18 (F) Medan de låg till bords och åt, sade Jesus: "Jag säger er sanningen: En av er kommer att förråda mig, en som äter med mig." 19 Då blev de bedrövade och frågade honom en efter en: "Det är väl inte jag?" 20 Jesus svarade dem: "Det är en av de tolv, den som doppar i skålen tillsammans med mig. 21 Människosonen går bort som det står skrivet om honom, men ve den människa genom vilken Människosonen blir förrådd! Det hade varit bättre för den människan att aldrig ha blivit född."
Den första nattvarden
22 (G) Medan de åt tog Jesus ett bröd, tackade Gud, bröt det och gav åt dem och sade: "Ta detta, det är min kropp." 23 Och han tog en bägare, tackade Gud och gav åt dem, och de drack alla ur den. 24 Och han sade till dem: "Detta är mitt blod, förbundsblodet, som blir utgjutet för många. 25 Jag säger er sanningen: Jag ska inte dricka av vinstockens frukt förrän den dag då jag dricker det nytt i Guds rike."
26 (H) När de sedan hade sjungit lovsången, gick de ut till Olivberget.[g]
Jesus förutsäger Petrus förnekelse
27 (I) Jesus sade till dem: "Ni kommer alla att överge mig. Det står skrivet: Jag ska slå herden, och fåren ska skingras.[h] 28 (J) Men när jag har uppstått, ska jag gå före er till Galileen."
29 (K) Då sade Petrus till honom: "Även om alla andra överger dig, så ska jag inte göra det." 30 (L) Jesus svarade: "Jag säger dig sanningen: Just denna natt, innan tuppen gal två gånger, kommer du att tre gånger förneka mig." 31 Men Petrus försäkrade ännu ivrigare: "Även om jag måste dö med dig kommer jag aldrig att förneka dig!" Samma sak sade alla de andra också.
Jesus i Getsemane
32 (M) De kom till en plats som kallas Getsemane[i]. Jesus sade till sina lärjungar: "Sätt er här medan jag ber." 33 Han tog med sig Petrus, Jakob och Johannes, och han greps av bävan och ångest 34 (N) och sade till dem: "Min själ är djupt bedrövad, ända till döds. Stanna här och vaka."
35 Han gick lite längre fram och föll ner på marken och bad att om möjligt få bli förskonad från denna stund. 36 (O) Han sade: "Abba[j], Far! Allt är möjligt för dig. Ta den här bägaren ifrån mig. Men inte som jag vill, utan som du vill."
37 När Jesus kom tillbaka fann han att de sov. Då sade han till Petrus: "Simon, sover du? Kunde du inte vaka en enda timme? 38 (P) Vaka och be att[k] ni inte kommer i frestelse. Anden är villig, men köttet är svagt." 39 Han gick bort igen och bad med samma ord.
40 När han kom tillbaka fann han återigen att de sov. Deras ögon var tunga av sömn, och de visste inte vad de skulle svara honom.
41 Sedan kom han tillbaka för tredje gången och sade till dem: "Sover ni än och vilar er?[l] Det räcker, stunden har kommit. Nu överlämnas Människosonen i syndarnas händer. 42 Res på er, nu går vi. Han som förråder mig är här."
Jesus fängslas
43 (Q) Medan han ännu talade kom Judas, en av de tolv, och med honom en folkhop med svärd och påkar från översteprästerna och de skriftlärda och de äldste. 44 Förrädaren hade avtalat ett tecken med dem och sagt: "Den jag kysser är det. Grip honom och för bort honom under säker bevakning." 45 När Judas kom, gick han genast fram till Jesus och sade: "Rabbi!" och kysste honom. 46 Då grep de Jesus och höll fast honom.
47 (R) Men en av dem som stod bredvid drog sitt svärd och slog till mot översteprästens tjänare och högg av honom örat. 48 (S) Och Jesus sade till dem: "Som mot en rövare har ni gått ut med svärd och påkar för att gripa mig. 49 Jag har varit hos er i templet varje dag och undervisat utan att ni grep mig. Men Skrifterna skulle uppfyllas." 50 (T) Då övergav alla honom och flydde.
51 En ung man, klädd i ett linneskynke[m] över bara kroppen, följde efter Jesus. Honom grep de tag i, 52 men han lämnade linneskynket kvar och flydde därifrån naken.
Jesus inför Stora rådet
53 (U) De förde Jesus till översteprästen, och där samlades alla översteprästerna och de äldste och de skriftlärda.[n] 54 Petrus följde efter Jesus på avstånd ända in på översteprästens gård. Där satt han sedan bland rättstjänarna och värmde sig vid elden.
55 (V) Översteprästerna och hela Stora rådet försökte få fram ett vittnesmål mot Jesus för att kunna döma honom till döden, men de fann inget. 56 Många vittnade falskt mot honom, men deras vittnesmål stämde inte överens[o]. 57 Då trädde några fram och vittnade falskt mot honom och sade: 58 (W) "Vi har hört honom säga: Jag ska riva ner det här templet som är gjort av människohand, och på tre dagar bygga upp ett annat som inte är gjort av människohand." 59 Men inte heller denna gång stämde deras vittnesmål överens.
60 Då reste sig översteprästen och steg fram och frågade Jesus: "Svarar du inte på vad de vittnar mot dig?" 61 (X) Men Jesus var tyst och svarade inte. Återigen frågade översteprästen honom: "Är du Messias, den Välsignades son?" 62 (Y) Jesus svarade: "Jag Är[p]. Och ni ska få se[q] Människosonen sitta på Maktens högra sida och komma bland himlens moln."
63 Då rev översteprästen sönder sina kläder och sade: "Behöver vi några fler vittnen?[r] 64 (Z) Ni har hört hädelsen! Vad anser ni?" Alla dömde honom skyldig till döden. 65 (AA) Några började spotta på honom, täckte över hans ansikte och slog honom med knytnävarna och sade: "Profetera!" Och rättstjänarna tog emot honom med slag i ansiktet.
Petrus förnekar Jesus
66 (AB) Medan Petrus var nere på gården kom en av översteprästens tjänsteflickor dit. 67 När hon fick se Petrus där han satt och värmde sig, såg hon på honom och sade: "Du var också med den där Jesus från Nasaret." 68 Men han nekade: "Jag vet inte vad du pratar om, jag förstår inte." Han gick ut på yttergården. Då gol tuppen.[s]
69 Tjänsteflickan såg honom och sade igen till dem som stod där: "Han är en av dem." 70 Men Petrus nekade igen. Strax därefter sade de som stod där återigen till Petrus: "Visst är du en av dem. Du är ju galilé!" 71 Men han började förbanna och svära: "Jag känner inte den där mannen som ni talar om!" 72 Och strax gol tuppen för andra gången.
Då kom Petrus ihåg orden som Jesus hade sagt till honom: "Innan tuppen gal två gånger ska du tre gånger förneka mig." Och han brast i gråt.

Mark 14
Expanded Bible
The Plan to Kill Jesus(A)
14 It was now only two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread [C the annual festival that celebrates God’s rescue of Israel from Egypt; Ex. 12]. The ·leading [T chief] priests and ·teachers of the law [scribes] were trying to find a ·trick [secret way] to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 But they said, “We must not do it during the feast, because the people might cause a riot.”
A Woman with Perfume for Jesus(B)
3 Jesus was in Bethany at the house of ·Simon, who had a skin disease [L Simon the leper; C for leprosy, see 1:40; Simon may have been healed by Jesus]. While Jesus was ·eating there [L reclining; C the posture for a banquet or dinner party; 2:15], a woman approached him with an alabaster ·jar [vial] filled with very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She ·opened [broke open] the ·jar [vial] and poured the perfume on Jesus’ head.
4 Some who were there became ·upset [indignant] and said to each other, “Why waste that perfume? 5 It was worth ·a full year’s work [L over three hundred denarii]. It could have been sold and the money given to the poor.” And they ·got very angry with [harshly scolded] the woman.
6 Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you ·troubling [bothering; criticizing] her? She did an ·excellent thing [beautiful/good deed] for me. 7 You will always have the poor with you, and you can help them anytime you want [Deut. 15:11]. But you will not always have me. 8 This woman did the only thing she could do for me; she ·poured perfume on [anointed] my body to prepare me for burial. 9 I tell you the truth, wherever the ·Good News [Gospel] is preached in all the world, what this woman has done will be told, and people will remember her.”
Judas Betrays Jesus(C)
10 One of ·the twelve apostles [the Twelve], Judas Iscariot, went to talk to the ·leading [T chief] priests to offer to ·hand Jesus over [betray him] to them. 11 These priests were pleased about this and promised to pay Judas money. So he watched for ·the best time [an opportunity] to ·turn Jesus in [betray him].
Jesus Eats the Passover Meal(D)
12 It was now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?”
13 Jesus sent two of his ·followers [disciples] and said to them, “Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 When he goes into a house, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: “Where is my guest room in which I can eat the Passover meal with my ·followers [disciples]?”’ 15 The owner will show you a large ·room upstairs [T upper room] that is furnished and ready. ·Prepare the food [Make preparations] for us there.”
16 So the ·followers [disciples] left and went into the city. Everything happened as Jesus had said, so they prepared the Passover meal.
17 In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. 18 While they were all ·eating [L reclining and eating; see v. 3], Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will ·turn against [betray] me—one of you eating with me now.”
19 The ·followers [disciples] were very ·sad [distressed; pained] to hear this. Each one began to say to Jesus, “·I am not the one, am I [Surely not I; or Is it I]?”
20 Jesus answered, “It is one of the twelve—one who dips his bread into the bowl with me [C probably not a signal, but means “one who shares close fellowship with me”]. 21 The Son of Man will ·die [go to his fate; L go], just as the Scriptures say. But ·how terrible it will be for [L woe to] the person ·who hands the Son of Man over to be killed [L by whom the Son of Man is betrayed]. It would be better for him if he had never been born.”
The Lord’s Supper(E)
22 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and ·thanked God for [blessed] it and broke it. Then he gave it to his ·followers [disciples] and said, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then Jesus took a cup and ·thanked God for it [gave thanks] and gave it to ·the followers [the disciples; them], and they all drank from the cup.
24 Then Jesus said, “This is my blood ·which is the new[a] agreement that God makes with his people [or which confirms/establishes the new covenant; L of the new covenant; Ex. 24:8. Jer. 31:31–34]. This blood is poured out for many [Is. 53:12]. 25 I tell you the truth, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine [C wine] again until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 After singing a hymn [C probably the Hallel psalms (Ps. 113—118), sung during the Passover meal], they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus’ Followers Will Leave Him(F)
27 Then Jesus told them, “You will all ·stumble in your faith [fall away; desert me], because it is written in the Scriptures:
‘I will ·kill [strike] the shepherd,
and the sheep will ·scatter [be scattered]’ [Zech. 13:7].
28 But after ·I rise from the dead [L I am raised], I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29 Peter said, “Everyone else may ·stumble in their faith [fall away; desert you], but I will not.”
30 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, tonight before the rooster crows twice you will ·say three times you don’t know me [deny/disown me three times].”
31 But Peter insisted, “Even if I must die with you, I will never ·say that I don’t know [deny/disown] you!” And all the others said the same thing.
Jesus Prays Alone(G)
32 Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] went to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and he began to be very ·sad [distressed] and ·troubled [anguished]. 34 He said to them, “My ·heart [soul] is ·full of sorrow [overwhelmed with grief], to the point of death. Stay here and ·watch [stay awake; be alert].”
35 After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell [with his face] to the ground and prayed that, if possible, ·he would not have this time of suffering [L the hour might pass him by]. 36 He prayed, “Abba [C Aramaic for “father”], Father! You can do all things. ·Take away this cup of suffering [L Take this cup from me; C suffering is metaphorically portrayed as something bitter to drink; see 10:38]. But do ·what you want [your will], not ·what I want [my will].”
37 Then Jesus went back to his ·followers [disciples] and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you ·stay awake [watch] with me for one hour? 38 ·Stay awake [Keep watch] and pray for strength ·against temptation [or not to fail the test]. The spirit ·wants to do what is right [is willing], but ·the body [human nature; T the flesh] is weak.”
39 Again Jesus went away and prayed the same thing. 40 Then he went back to his ·followers [disciples], and again he found them asleep, because their eyes were very heavy. And they did not know what to say to him.
41 After Jesus prayed a third time, he went back to his ·followers [disciples] and said to them, “·Are you still sleeping and resting? [or Go ahead, sleep and have your rest!] ·That’s enough [It’s all over; The account is settled; C the meaning of this phrase is uncertain]. The time has come for the Son of Man to be ·handed over to [L betrayed/delivered into the hands of] sinful people. 42 Get up, we must go. Look, here comes ·the man who has turned against me [my betrayer].”
Jesus Is Arrested(H)
43 At once, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of ·the twelve apostles [the Twelve], came up. With him were many people carrying swords and clubs who had been sent from the ·leading [T chief] priests, the ·teachers of the law [scribes], and the Jewish elders.
44 ·Judas [L The betrayer] had planned a signal for them, saying, “The man I kiss is Jesus. ·Arrest [Seize] him and guard him while you lead him away.” 45 So Judas went straight to Jesus and said, “·Teacher [L Rabbi]!” and kissed him. 46 Then the people grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 47 One of ·his followers [L those] standing nearby pulled out his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 Then Jesus said, “You came to get me with swords and clubs as if I were a ·criminal [revolutionary; rebel; L robber; C the term “robber” was used by the Romans of insurrectionists]. 49 Every day I was with you teaching in the Temple, and you did not arrest me there. But all these things have happened to ·make the Scriptures come true [fulfill the Scriptures].” 50 Then ·all of Jesus’ followers [L everyone] ·left [deserted] him and ·ran away [fled].
51 A young man [C perhaps the author Mark himself], wearing only a linen ·cloth [sheet; shirt], was following Jesus, and the people also grabbed him. 52 But the cloth [sheet; shirt] he was wearing came off, and he ran away naked.
Jesus Before the Leaders(I)
53 The people who arrested Jesus led him to the house of the high priest, where all the ·leading [T chief] priests, the elders, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] were gathered. 54 Peter followed far behind and entered the courtyard of the high priest’s house. There he sat with the guards, warming himself by the fire.
55 The ·leading [T chief] priests and the whole ·Jewish council [Sanhedrin; C the highest Jewish court] tried to find ·something that Jesus had done wrong [evidence/testimony against him] so they could ·kill [execute] him. But the council could find no proof of anything. 56 Many people came and ·told false things [gave false testimony] about him, but all said different things—none of them agreed.
57 Then some people stood up and ·lied [gave false testimony] about Jesus, saying, 58 “We heard this man say, ‘I will destroy this Temple that people made. And three days later, I will build another Temple not made by people.’” 59 But even ·the things these people said [their testimony] did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood before them and asked Jesus, “Aren’t you going to answer? ·Don’t you have something to say about their [or What are these] ·charges [testimony] against you?” 61 But Jesus ·said nothing [was silent; Is. 53:7]; he did not answer.
The high priest asked Jesus another question: “Are you the ·Christ [Messiah], the Son of ·the blessed God [L the blessed (one)]?”
62 Jesus answered, “I am. And ·in the future you will see [L you will see] the Son of Man sitting at the right ·side [L hand; see 12:36] of God, the Powerful One, and coming on clouds ·in the sky [of heaven; Ps. 110:1; Dan. 7:13–14].”
63 When the high priest heard this, he tore his clothes [C a sign of sorrow or outrage] and said, “Why do we need more witnesses? 64 You all heard ·him say these things against God [the blasphemy]. What ·do you think [is your verdict]?”
They all said that Jesus was guilty and ·should [deserved to] die. 65 Some of the people there began to spit at Jesus. They blindfolded him and beat him with their fists and said, “·Prophesy! [Prove you are a prophet!]” Then the guards led Jesus away and beat him.
Peter Denies Jesus(J)
66 While Peter was in the courtyard, a servant girl of the high priest came there. 67 She saw Peter warming himself at the fire and looked closely at him.
Then she said, “You also were with Jesus, that man from Nazareth.”
68 But Peter denied it. He said, “I don’t know or understand what you are talking about.” Then Peter left and went toward the entrance of the courtyard. And the rooster crowed.[b]
69 The servant girl saw Peter there, and again she said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man is one of those who followed Jesus.” 70 Again Peter ·said that it was not true [denied it].
A short time later, some people were standing near Peter saying, “Surely you are one of those who followed Jesus, because you are from Galilee, too [C Peter’s Galilean accent gave him away; Matt. 26:73].”
71 Then Peter began to place a curse on himself and swear, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”
72 At once, the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had told him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will ·say three times that you don’t know me [deny/disown me three times].” Then Peter broke down and began to cry.

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.
