The Plot to Kill Jesus

(Mat 26:1–5; Luk 22:1, 2; Jhn 11:45–53 )

Now^G1161 the Passover^G3957 and Unleavened^G106 Bread were two^G1417 days^G2250 away^G3326; and the chief^G749 priests^G749 and the scribes^G1122 were seeking^G2212 how^G4459, after seizing^G2902 Him in secret^G1388, they might kill^G615 Him;

Mar 14:2

Mar 14:2for they were saying, “Not during the festival, lest there be a riot of the people.”

The Costly Perfume

(Mat 26:6–13; Jhn 12:1–8 )

Mar 14:3

And while He was in Bethany^G963 at the home^G3614 of Simon^G4613 the leper^G3015, and reclining^G2621 at the table, there came^G2064 a woman^G1135 with an alabaster^G211 jar^G211 of perfume^G3464 of very^G4185 costly^G4185 pure^G4101 [fn]nard^G3487; and she broke^G4937 the jar^G211 and poured^G2708 it over^G2708 His head^G2776.

Mar 14:4

Mar 14:4But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

Mar 14:5

Mar 14:5“For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred [fn]denarii and given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

Mar 14:6

Mar 14:6But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She did a good work to Me.

Mar 14:7

Mar 14:7“For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

Mar 14:8

Mar 14:8“She has done what she could; she anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

Mar 14:9

Mar 14:9“And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

(Mat 26:14–16; Luk 22:3–6 )

Mar 14:10

Then^G2532 Judas^G2455 Iscariot^G2469, who^G3588 was one^G1520 of the twelve^G1427, went^G565 away^G565 to the chief^G749 priests^G749 in^G2443 order^G2443 to^G2443 [fn]betray^G3860 Him to them.

Mar 14:11

Mar 14:11And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

The Passover Meal

(Mat 26:17–25; Luk 22:7–13; Jhn 13:21–30 )

Mar 14:12

And on the first^G4413 day^G2250 of Unleavened^G106 Bread, when^G3753 [fn]the Passover^G3957 lamb^G3957 was being sacrificed^G2380, His disciples^G3101 *said^G3004 to Him, “Where^G4226 do You want^G2309 us to go^G565 and prepare^G2090 for You to eat^G2068 the Passover^G3957?”

Mar 14:13

Mar 14:13And He *sent 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;

Mar 14:14

Mar 14:14and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

Mar 14:15

Mar 14:15“And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”

Mar 14:16

Mar 14:16And the disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

Mar 14:17

And when it was evening^G3798 He *came^G2064 with the twelve^G1427.

Mar 14:18

Mar 14:18And as they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will [fn]betray Me—the one who is eating with Me.”

Mar 14:19

Mar 14:19They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

Mar 14:20

Mar 14:20And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, the one who dips with Me in the bowl.

Mar 14:21

Mar 14:21“For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man [fn]by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good [fn]for that man if he had not been born.”

The Lord’s Supper

(Mat 26:26–29; Luk 22:14–23; 1Co 11:23–26 )

Mar 14:22

And while they were eating^G2068, He took^G2983 some bread^G740, and [fn]after a blessing^G2127, He broke^G2806 it, and gave^G1325 it to them, and said^G3004, “Take^G2983 it; this^G3778 is My body^G4983.”

Mar 14:23

Mar 14:23And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

Mar 14:24

Mar 14:24And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

Mar 14:25

Mar 14:25“Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Mar 14:26

And after singing^G5214 a^G5214 hymn^G5214, they went^G1831 out^G1831 to the Mount^G3735 of Olives^G1636.

(Mat 26:31–35; Luk 22:31–34; Jhn 13:36–38 )

Mar 14:27

And Jesus^G2424 *said^G3004 to them, “You will all^G3956 [fn]fall^G4624 away^G4624, because^G3754 it is written^G1125, ‘I WILL STRIKE^G3960 DOWN^G3960 THE SHEPHERD^G4166, AND THE SHEEP^G4263 SHALL BE SCATTERED^G1287.’

Mar 14:28

Mar 14:28“But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

Mar 14:29

Mar 14:29But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may [fn]fall away, yet I will not.”

Mar 14:30

Mar 14:30And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

Mar 14:31

Mar 14:31But Peter kept saying insistently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

(Mat 26:36–46; Luk 22:39–46 )

Mar 14:32

Then^G2532 they *came^G2064 to a place^G5564 named^G3686 Gethsemane^G1068; and He *said^G3004 to His disciples^G3101, “Sit^G2523 here^G5602 until^G2193 I have prayed^G4336.”

Mar 14:33

Mar 14:33And He *took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

Mar 14:34

Mar 14:34And He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

Mar 14:35

Mar 14:35And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

Mar 14:36

Mar 14:36And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Mar 14:37

Mar 14:37And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

Mar 14:38

Mar 14:38“Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Mar 14:39

Mar 14:39And again He went away and prayed, saying the same [fn]words.

Mar 14:40

Mar 14:40And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

Mar 14:41

Mar 14:41And He *came the third time, and *said to them, “[fn]Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being [fn]betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Mar 14:42

Mar 14:42“Get up, let us go; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

(Mat 26:47–56; Luk 22:47–53; Jhn 18:1–11 )

Mar 14:43

And immediately^G2117 while He was still^G2089 speaking^G2980, Judas^G2455, one^G1520 of the twelve^G1427, *came^G3854 up, and^G2532 with^G3326 him^G846 was a crowd^G3793 with swords^G3162 and clubs^G3586, who were from the chief^G749 priests^G749 and the scribes^G1122 and the elders^G4245.

Mar 14:44

Mar 14:44Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away [fn]under guard.”

Mar 14:45

Mar 14:45And after coming, Judas, having immediately gone to Him, *said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

Mar 14:46

Mar 14:46And they laid hands on Him and seized Him.

Mar 14:47

Mar 14:47But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and [fn]cut off his ear.

Mar 14:48

Mar 14:48And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

Mar 14:49

Mar 14:49“Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place in order that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

Mar 14:50

Mar 14:50And they all left Him and fled.

Mar 14:51

And a young^G3495 man^G3495 was following^G4870 Him, wearing^G4016 nothing but a linen^G4616 sheet^G4616 over^G1909 his naked^G1131 body; and they *seized^G2902 him.

Mar 14:52

Mar 14:52But he [fn]pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.

Jesus Before His Accusers

(Mat 26:57–68; Luk 22:66–71; Jhn 18:12–14, 19–24 )

Mar 14:53

Then^G2532 they led^G520 Jesus^G2424 away^G520 to the high^G749 priest^G749; and all^G3956 the chief^G749 priests^G749 and the elders^G4245 and the scribes^G1122 *gathered^G4905 together^G4905.

Mar 14:54

Mar 14:54And Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the [fn]officers and warming himself at the [fn]fire.

Mar 14:55

Mar 14:55Now the chief priests and the whole [fn]Sanhedrin were seeking to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

Mar 14:56

Mar 14:56For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

Mar 14:57

Mar 14:57And some, standing up, were giving false testimony against Him, saying,

Mar 14:58

Mar 14:58“We ourselves heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this [fn]sanctuary made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

Mar 14:59

Mar 14:59And not even in this way was their testimony consistent.

Mar 14:60

Mar 14:60And the high priest stood up in their midst and questioned Jesus, saying, “You answer nothing? What are these men testifying against You?”

Mar 14:61

Mar 14:61But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him and *said to Him, “Are You the [fn]Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

Mar 14:62

Mar 14:62And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”

Mar 14:63

Mar 14:63And tearing his tunics, the high priest *said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

Mar 14:64

Mar 14:64“You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

Mar 14:65

Mar 14:65And some began to spit at Him, and [fn]to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [fn]received Him with [fn]slaps in the face.

Peter’s Denials

(Mat 26:69–75; Luk 22:54–62; Jhn 18:15–18, 25–27 )

Mar 14:66

And as Peter^G4074 was below^G2736 in the courtyard^G833, one^G1520 of the servant-girls^G3814 of the high^G749 priest^G749 *came^G2064,

Mar 14:67

Mar 14:67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”

Mar 14:68

Mar 14:68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he went out into the entryway.[fn]

Mar 14:69

Mar 14:69And when the servant-girl saw him, she began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”

Mar 14:70

Mar 14:70But again he was denying it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are also a Galilean.”

Mar 14:71

Mar 14:71But he began to [fn]curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

Mar 14:72

Mar 14:72And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said the statement to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” [fn]And throwing himself down, he began to cry.
