Mark 14:3-72

Mark 14:3-72

[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  his  head.  [4] And  some  that had indignation  within  themselves,  Why  this  waste  of the ointment  made?  [5] For  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,  her  alone;  why  trouble ye  her?  she hath wrought  a good  work  [7] For  ye have  the poor  with  you  always,  and  whensoever  ye will  ye may  do  them  good:  but  ye have  not  always.  [8] She hath done  what  could:  she is come aforehand  to anoint  body  to  the burying.  [9] Verily  I say  Wheresoever  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  [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  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  the guestchamber,  where  I shall eat  the passover  with  disciples?  [15] And  he  will shew  a large  upper room  furnished  and prepared:  there  make ready  [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  One  of  which  eateth  with  shall betray  [19] they began  to be sorrowful,  and to  say  unto him  Is it I?  and  said,  Is it I?  [20] And  and said  unto them,  It is one  the twelve,  that dippeth  with  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  for that  man  if  he  never  been born.  [22] And  as they  did eat,  took  bread,  and blessed,  and brake  it, and  gave  to them,  and  said,  Take,  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,  blood  testament,  which  is shed  many.  [25] Verily  I say  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  night:  for  it is written,  I will smite  the shepherd,  and  the sheep  shall be scattered.  [28] But  after  am risen,  I will go before  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  That  this day,  night,  before  the cock  crow  twice,  thou shalt deny  thrice.  [31] But  If  should  die with  deny  Likewise  also  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  Peter  and  James  and  John,  and  began  to be sore amazed,  and  to be very heavy;  [34] And  saith  unto them,  soul  exceeding sorrowful  unto  death:  tarry ye  here,  and  watch.  [35] And  he went forward  and fell  on  the ground,  and  prayed  that,  if  possible,  the hour  might pass  from  him.  [36] And  Abba,  Father,  all things  are possible  take away  cup  from  nevertheless  not  what  will,  but  what  thou  [37] And  he cometh,  and  findeth  them  sleeping,  and  saith  unto Peter,  Simon,  sleepest thou?  couldest  not  thou watch  hour?  [38] Watch ye  and  pray,  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  he found  them  asleep  again,  (for  their  eyes  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:  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  is at hand.  [43] And  immediately,  while he  yet  spake,  cometh  Judas,  one  of the twelve,  and  with  him  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  take  him,  and  lead him away  safely.  [45] And  as soon as he was come,  he goeth  straightway  to him,  and saith,  Master,  and  kissed  him.  [46] And  they laid  their  hands  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  [49] daily  with  in  the temple  teaching,  and  ye took  not:  but  the scriptures  must  be fulfilled.  [50] And  they all  forsook  him,  and fled.  [51] And  him  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  naked.  [53] And  Jesus  away  to  the high priest:  and  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  with  the servants,  and  warmed himself  at  the fire.  [55] And  the chief priests  and  all  the council  sought  for witness  against  Jesus  to  him  to death;  and  found  none.  [56] For  many  bare false witness  against  him,  but  their witness  not  [57] And  there arose  certain,  and bare false witness  against  him,  saying,  [58] heard  him  say,  will destroy  temple  that is made with hands,  and  within  three  days  I will build  another  made without hands.  [59] But  neither  so  their  witness  [60] And  the high priest  stood up  in  the midst,  and asked  Jesus,  saying,  Answerest  thou  nothing?  what  is it which these  witness  [61] But  he held his peace,  and  answered  nothing.  Again  the high priest  asked  him,  and  said  unto him,  thou  the Christ,  the Son  of the Blessed?  [62] And  Jesus  said,  am:  and  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  And  they all  condemned  him  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  him  with the palms of their hands.  [66] And  as Peter  beneath  in  the palace,  there cometh  of the maids  of the high priest:  [67] And  Peter  warming himself,  she looked  upon him,  and said,  thou  also  with  Jesus  of Nazareth.  [68] But  he denied,  saying,  I know  understand I  what  thou  sayest.  And  he went  out  into  the porch;  and  the cock  crew.  [69] And  a maid  him  again,  and began  to say  to them that stood by,  This  one of  them.  [70] And  he denied it  again.  And  after,  they that stood by  again  to Peter,  Surely  one of  them:  for  a Galilaean,  and  speech  agreeth  [71] But  he began  to curse  and  to swear,  saying, I know  not  man  of whom  ye speak.  [72] And  the  second time  the cock  crew.  And  Peter  called to mind  the word  Jesus  said  unto him,  Before  the cock  crow  twice,  thou shalt deny  thrice.  And  when he thought thereon,  he wept.
