Mark 14:33-72 ▼

33 And He takes Peter, and John, and James with Him, and began to grieve and to be dejected.

34 And He says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death: abide here, and watch.

35 And having gone forward a little, He fell on the ground; and continued to pray, that if possible, the hour may pass from Him.

36 And He said, Father, Father, all things are possible to thee; take this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.

37 And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Were you not able to watch one hour?

38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: for the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39 And again having gone away, He prayed, speaking the same word.

40 And turning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what they might respond to Him.

41 And He comes the third time, and says to them; Sleep on, and take your rest: it is over; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners:

42 arise, let us go: behold, the one having betrayed me draws nigh.

43 And immediately, He still speaking, Judas Iscariot comes, being one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44 And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: seize Him and lead Him away securely.

45 And having come, immediately advancing forward, he said to Him, Master, and kissed Him copiously.

46 And they laid their hands on Him and arrested Him.

47 And a certain one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 Jesus responding said to them, You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me:

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me: but in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.

50 And all leaving Him, fled away.

51 And one certain young man followed Him, invested with a linen cloth on his unclothed body: and they take hold of him.

52 And he leaving the linen cloth, fled from them in a state of nudity.

53 And they led Jesus to the high priest: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came together to Him.

54 And Peter followed Him a long way off, even into the court of the high priest; and was sitting with the officers, and warming at the fire.

55 And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking testimony against Him to put Him to death; and they found none.

56 For many were testifying falsely against Him, and their testimonies were not equal.

57 And certain ones rising up, were testifying falsely against Him, saying,

58 We heard Him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and will build another in three days, made without hands.

59 And thus their testimony was not equal.

60 And the high priest rising up in their midst, asked Jesus, saying, Do you respond nothing? what are they witnessing against you?

61 And He was silent, and answered nothing: again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

63 The high priest tearing his garments, says, Why have we yet need of witnesses?

64 You heard the blasphemy: what seems to you? And all answered, He is worthy of death.

65 And certain ones began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and say to Him, Prophesy: and the officers received Him with blows.

66 And Peter being in the court, one of the maidservants of the high priest comes down;

67 and seeing Peter warming, looking upon him, says, Thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene.

68 And he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what you say. And he went out into the portico; and the cock crew.

69 And the maidservant seeing him again, began to say to the bystanders, He is one of them.

70 And again he denied: and after a little again the bystanders were saying to Peter, Truly, thou art one of them; for indeed thou art a Galilean.

71 But he began to anathematize, and to swear, I know not this man of whom you speak.

72 And the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus told him; That, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And having gone out, he continued to weep.
