King James VersionMark14

Mark

1 Af­ter two days was the feast of the passover, and of un­leav­ened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an up­roar of the peo­ple. 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 it on his head. 4 And there were some that had in­dig­na­tion with­in them­selves, and said, Why was this waste of the oint­ment made? 5 For it 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, Let her alone; why trou­ble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you al­ways, and when­so­ev­er ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not al­ways. 8 She hath done what she could: she is come afore­hand to anoint my body to the bury­ing. 9 Ver­i­ly I say unto you, Where­so­ev­er this 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 unto them. 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 you 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 is the guestcham­ber, where I shall eat the passover with my dis­ci­ples? 15 And he will shew you a large up­per room fur­nished and pre­pared: there make ready for us. 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 unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall be­tray me. 19 And they be­gan to be sor­row­ful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and an­oth­er ­said, Is it I? 20 And he an­swered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dip­peth with me 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 were it for that man if he had nev­er been born. 22 And as they did eat, Je­sus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my 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, This is my blood of the new tes­ta­ment, which is shed for many. 25 Ver­i­ly I say unto you, I will 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 me this night: for it is writ­ten, I will smite the shep­herd, and the sheep shall be scat­tered. 28 But af­ter that I am risen, I will go be­fore you 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 unto thee, That this day, even in this night, be­fore the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 31 But he spake the more ve­he­ment­ly, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Like­wise also said they 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 him Pe­ter and James and John, and be­gan to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is ex­ceed­ing sor­row­ful unto death: tar­ry ye here, and watch. 35 And he went for­ward a lit­tle, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were pos­si­ble, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, Ab­ba, Fa­ther, all things are pos­si­ble unto thee; take away this cup from me: nev­er­the­less not what I will, but what thou wilt. 37 And he cometh, and find­eth them sleep­ing, and saith unto Pe­ter, Si­mon, sleep­est thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye en­ter 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 when he re­turned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy, ) 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: it is enough, 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 me is at hand. 43 And im­me­di­ate­ly, while he yet spake, cometh Ju­das, one of the twelve, and with him a great 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 is he; take him, and lead him away safe­ly. 45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straight­way to him, and saith, Mas­ter, mas­ter; and kissed him. 46 And they laid their hands on 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 me? 49 I was dai­ly with you in the tem­ple teach­ing, and ye took me not: but the scrip­tures must be ful­filled. 50 And they all for­sook him, and fled. 51 And there fol­lowed him a 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 from them naked. 53 And they led Je­sus away to the high priest: and with him 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 he sat with the ser­vants, and warmed him­self at the fire. 55 And the chief priests and all the coun­cil sought for wit­ness against Je­sus to put him to death; and found none. 56 For many bare false wit­ness against him, but their wit­ness agreed not to­geth­er. 57 And there arose cer­tain, and bare false wit­ness against him, say­ing, 58 We heard him say, I will de­stroy this tem­ple that is made with hands, and with­in three days I will build an­oth­er made with­out hands. 59 But nei­ther so did their wit­ness agree to­geth­er. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Je­sus, say­ing, An­swer­est thou noth­ing? what is it which these wit­ness against thee? 61 But he held his peace, and an­swered noth­ing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Je­sus said, I am: and ye shall see 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 ye? And they all con­demned him to be 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 did strike him with the palms of their hands. 66 And as Pe­ter was be­neath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67 And when she saw Pe­ter warm­ing him­self, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Je­sus of Nazareth. 68 But he de­nied, say­ing, I know not, nei­ther un­der­stand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69 And a maid saw him again, and be­gan to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70 And he de­nied it again. And a lit­tle af­ter, they that stood by said again to Pe­ter, Sure­ly thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 71 But he be­gan to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72 And the sec­ond time the cock crew. And Pe­ter called to mind the word that Je­sus said unto him, Be­fore the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought there­on, he wept.
