          DASV: Mark 14    

1 It was two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, and the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
secretly arrest and kill him.
2 For they said, "Not during the feast, so there will not be
a riot among the people."

3 While Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
as he was eating, a woman came who had an alabaster jar of expensive
perfume of pure nard. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.
4 But there were some who were indignant, saying, "What was the
purpose of wasting this expensive perfume?
5 This perfume could have been sold for over three hundred silver
coins, and given to the poor." They complained harshly about her.
6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone; why do you bother her? She has
done a good work on me.
7 The poor you always have with you, and whenever you want you
can do them good. But me you do not always have.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body
beforehand for the burying.
9 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel will be preached throughout
the whole world, what this woman has done will be told in memory
of her."

10 Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief
priests, that he might hand him over to them.
11 When they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him
money. Then he started looking for an opportunity to hand Jesus
over to them.

12 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they
sacrificed the Passover, his disciples said to him, "Where do
you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
13 He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the
city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water.
Follow him.
14 Wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher
asks, "Where is my guestroom, where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?'"
15 He will show you a large upper room furnished and ready.
Make preparations there for us."
16 The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found
it as he had said. So they prepared the Passover there.

17 When it was evening, he came with the twelve.
18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you,
one of you eating with me will betray me."
19 They were distressed, and said to him one by one, "Is it I?"
20 He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, the one who dips
with me in the dish.
21 For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but
woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It is
better for that man if he had never been born."

22 As they were eating, he took bread, after he had blessed it,
he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take it. This is
my body."
23 He took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it
to them. They all drank from it.
24 Then he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many.
25 Truly I say to you, I will not drink any more from the fruit
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the
kingdom of God."
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will desert me,
for it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the
sheep will be scattered.'
28 But, after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you into
Galilee."
29 But Peter said to him, "Even if everyone will desert you,
I will not."
30 Then Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that today,
even this night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny
me three times."
31 But he emphatically insisted, "If I must die with you,
I will never deny you." All of them said the same.
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He
said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
33 Then he took with him Peter, James and John, and began to
be greatly distressed and troubled.
34 He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved even to death.
Stay here and keep watch."
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed
that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you.
Remove this cup from me. But not what I will, but what
you want."
37 Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,
"Simon, are you asleep? Could you not stay awake for one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
40 Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes
were heavy; and they did not know what to tell him.
41 He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still
sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come; look, the
Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Get up, let us go. Look, he who betrays me is here."
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came up,
one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs,
sent from the chief priests, scribes and elders.
44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a signal saying,
"Whomever I kiss, it is he. Arrest him, and take him away
under guard."
45 As Judas approached, immediately he came to Jesus,
and said, "Rabbi" and he kissed him.
46 They grabbed and arrested him.
47 But one of the bystanders drew his sword, and struck
the servant of the high priest cutting off his ear.
48 Then Jesus said to them, "Do you come out with swords
and clubs to seize me, like a robber?
49 I was with you every day in the temple teaching, and
you did not arrest me, but this is done that the Scriptures
might be fulfilled."
50 Then they all deserted him and fled.
51 Now a young man followed him, wearing nothing but a
linen cloth. They grabbed him,
52 but he shed the linen cloth, and fled away naked.

53 Then they led Jesus to the high priest. There all the
chief priests, elders and scribes gathered.
54 Peter had followed him at a distance, and even got into
the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the
officers, warming himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin council
sought evidence against Jesus to put him to death.
But they found none.
56 Many made false witness against him, but their testimony
did not agree with one another.
57 Then there stood up some who bore false witness against
him, saying,
58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is
made with hands, and in three days I will build another
made without hands.'"
59 Yet even on this, their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus,
"Do you not answer anything? What is this these testify
against you?"
61 But he remained quiet, and answered nothing. Again the
high priest asked him, and said to him, "Are you the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed?"
62 Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with
the clouds of heaven."
63 Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What
further evidence do we need?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
They all condemned him to death.
65 Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him
and to beat him, and to say to him, "Prophesy." Then
the guards took him and beat him.
66 Peter was below in the courtyard. One of the servant
girls of the high priest came
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, looked at him, and said,
"You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus."
68 But he denied, saying, "I do not know him or understand
what you are saying." Next he went out into the porch,
and the cock crew.
69 Then the servant girl saw him again, and began saying to
them that stood by, "This man is one of them."
70 But he again denied it. After a little while some bystanders
said to Peter, "Surely you are one of them; for you are
a Galilean."
71 But he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know
the man you are talking about."
72 Immediately the cock crowed a second time. Then Peter called
to mind the word, Jesus said to him, "Before the cock crows twice,
you will deny me three times." When he thought about it, he wept.
