Mark 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Death Plot and Anointing

Mar 14:1

Now the Passover and Festival of Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest Him covertly and kill Him;

Mar 14:2for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there will be a riot of the people.”
Mar 14:3

While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon [fn]the Leper, He was reclining at the table, and a woman came with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume of pure [fn]nard. She broke the vial and poured the perfume over His head.

Mar 14:4But there were some indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?
Mar 14:5“For this perfume could have been sold for over three hundred [fn]denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.
Mar 14:6But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Why are you bothering her? She has done a good deed for Me.
Mar 14:7“For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.
Mar 14:8“She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
Mar 14:9“Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Mar 14:10

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to [fn]betray Him to them.

Mar 14:11They were delighted when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.
Mar 14:12

On the first day of [fn]Unleavened Bread, when [fn]the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

Mar 14:13And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him;
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“And he himself will show you a large upstairs room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”
Mar 14:16The disciples left and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
Mar 14:17

When it was evening He *came with the twelve.

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—[fn]one who is eating with Me.”
Mar 14:19They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”
Mar 14:20But He said to them, It is one of the twelve, the one who dips bread with Me in the bowl.
Mar 14:21“For the Son of Man is going away just as it is written about 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

Mar 14:22

While they were eating, He took some bread, and [fn]after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

Mar 14:23And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
Mar 14:24And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many.
Mar 14:25“Truly I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again, until that day when I drink it, new, in the kingdom of God.”
Mar 14:26

And after singing a [fn]hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Mar 14:27

And Jesus *said to them, “You will all [fn]fall away, because it is written: ‘I WILL STRIKE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP WILL BE SCATTERED.’

Mar 14:28“But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
Mar 14:29But Peter said to Him, “Even if they all [fn]fall away, yet I will not!”
Mar 14:30And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that [fn]this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”
Mar 14:31But [fn]Peter repeatedly said insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing as well.

Jesus in Gethsemane

Mar 14:32

They *came to a place named [fn]Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.”

Mar 14:33And He *took with Him Peter, [fn]James, and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.
Mar 14:34And He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and [fn]keep watch.”
Mar 14:35And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began praying that if it were possible, the hour might [fn]pass Him by.
Mar 14:36And He was saying, “Abba! [fn]Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.
Mar 14:37And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not [fn]keep watch for one hour?
Mar 14:38[fn]Keep watching and praying, so that you will not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mar 14:39And again He went away and prayed, saying the same [fn]words.
Mar 14:40And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say in reply to Him.
Mar 14:41And He *came the third time, and *said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough. The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being [fn]betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mar 14:42“Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”

Betrayal and Arrest

Mar 14:43

And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, *came up, [fn]accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who were from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

Mar 14:44Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him and lead Him away [fn]under guard.”
Mar 14:45And after coming, Judas immediately went to Him and *said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Mar 14:46And they laid hands on Him and arrested Him.
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 14:48And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a man inciting a revolt?
Mar 14:49“Every day I was with you within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me; but this has taken place so that the Scriptures will be fulfilled.”
Mar 14:50And [fn]His disciples all left Him and fled.
Mar 14:51

A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him.

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

Jesus before His Accusers

Mar 14:53

They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes *gathered together.

Mar 14:54And Peter had 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 14:55Now the chief priests and the entire [fn]Council were trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.
Mar 14:56For many people were giving false testimony against Him, and so their testimonies were not consistent.
Mar 14:57And then some stood up and began giving false testimony against Him, saying,
Mar 14:58“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this [fn]temple that was made by hands, and in three days I will build another, made without hands.’”
Mar 14:59And not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.
Mar 14:60And then the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not offer any answer for what these men are testifying against You?”
Mar 14:61But He kept silent and did not offer any answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and *said to Him, “Are You the [fn]Christ, the Son of [fn]the Blessed One?
Mar 14:62And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Mar 14:63Tearing his clothes, the high priest *said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
Mar 14:64“You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.
Mar 14:65And some began to spit on Him, and [fn]to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists and say to Him, “Prophesy!” Then the officers took custody of Him [fn]and slapped Him in the face.
Mar 14:66

And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest *came,

Mar 14:67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You were with Jesus the Nazarene as well.”
Mar 14:68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he went out onto the [fn]porch.[fn]
Mar 14:69The slave woman saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them!”
Mar 14:70But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “You really are one of them, for you are a Galilean as well.”
Mar 14:71But he began to [fn]curse himself and to swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
Mar 14:72And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And [fn]he hurried on and began to weep.
