The Gospel of Mark
Chapter 14


MARK
Chapter 14


1 Now after two days was
the feast of the passover and
the unleavened bread: and
the chief priests and the
scribes sought how they
might take him with subtlety,
and kill him:
2 for they said, Not during
the feast, lest haply there
shall be a tumult of the
people.










3 And while he was in
Bethany in the house of
Simon the leper, as he sat at
meat, there came a woman
having an alabaster cruse of
ointment of pure nard very
costly; and she brake the
cruse, and poured it over his
head.
4 But there were some that
had indignation among
themselves, saying, To what
purpose hath this waste of
the ointment been made?
5 For this ointment might
have been sold for above
three hundred shillings, and
given to the poor. And they
murmured against her.
6 But Jesus said, Let her
alone; why trouble ye her?
she hath wrought a good
work on me.
7 For ye have the poor
always with you, and
whensoever ye will ye can
do them good: but me ye
have not always.
8 She hath done what she
could; she hath anointed my
body beforehand for the
burying.
9 And verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever the gospel
shall be preached throughout
the whole world, that also
which this woman hath done
shall be spoken of for a
memorial of her.


10 And Judas Iscariot, he
that was one of the twelve,
went away unto the chief
priests, that he might deliver
him unto them.
11 And they, when they
heard it, were glad, and
promised to give him money.
And he sought how he might
conveniently deliver him unto
them.









12 And on the first day of
unleavened bread, when they
sacrificed the passover, his
disciples say unto him,
Where wilt thou that we go
and make ready that thou
mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth two of
his disciples, and saith unto
them, Go into the city, and
there shall meet you a man
bearing a pitcher of water:
follow him;
14 and wheresoever he shall
enter in, say to the master of
the house, The Teacher
saith, Where is my
guest-chamber, where I shall
eat the passover with my
disciples?
15 And he will himself show
you a large upper room
furnished and ready: and
there make ready for us.
16 And the disciples went
forth, and came into the city,
and found as he had said
unto them: and they made
ready the passover.






17 And when it was evening
he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and
were eating, Jesus said,
Verily I say unto you, One of
you shall betray me, even he
that eateth with me.
19 They began to be
sorrowful, and to say unto
him one by one, Is it I?
20 And he said unto them,
It is one of the twelve, he
that dippeth with me in the
dish.
21 For the Son of man
goeth, even as it is written of
him: but woe unto that man
through whom the Son of
man is betrayed! good were
it for that man if he had not
been born.






22 And as they were eating,
he took bread, and when he
had blessed, he brake it, and
gave to them, and said, Take
ye: this is my body.
23 And he took a cup, and
when he had given thanks,
he gave to them: and they all
drank of it.
24 And he said unto them,
This is my blood of the
covenant, which is poured
out for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I
shall no more drink of the
fruit of the vine, until that day
when I drink it new in the
kingdom of God.








26 And when they had sung
a hymn, they went out unto
the mount of Olives.



27 And Jesus saith unto
them, All ye shall be
offended: for it is written, I
will smite the shepherd, and
the sheep shall be scattered
abroad.
28 Howbeit, after I am
raised up, 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 thou to-day, even this
night, before the cock crow
twice, shalt deny me thrice.
31 But he spake
exceedingly vehemently, If I
must die with thee, I will not
deny thee. And in like
manner also said they all.






32 And they come unto a
place which was named
Gethsemane: and he saith
unto his disciples, Sit ye
here, while I pray.
33 And he taketh with him
Peter and James and John,
and began to be greatly
amazed, and sore troubled.
34 And he saith unto them,
My soul is exceeding
sorrowful even unto death:
abide 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
away from him.
36 And he said, Abba,
Father, all things are possible
unto thee; remove this cup
from me: howbeit not what I
will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and
findeth them sleeping, and
saith unto Peter, Simon,
sleepest thou? couldest thou
not watch one hour?
38 Watch and pray, that ye
enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak.
39 And again he went
away, and prayed, saying the
same words.
40 And again he came, and
found them sleeping, for their
eyes were very heavy; and
they knew not 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 Arise, let us be going:
behold, he that betrayeth me
is at hand.













43 And straightway, while
he yet spake, cometh Judas,
one of the twelve, and with
him a multitude with swords
and staves, from the chief
priests and the scribes and
the elders.
44 Now he that betrayed
him had given them a token,
saying, Whomsoever I shall
kiss, that is he; take him, and
lead him away safely.
45 And when he was come,
straightway he came to him,
and saith, Rabbi; and kissed
him.
46 And they laid hands on
him, and took him.
47 But a certain one of them
that stood by drew his
sword, and smote the
servant of the high priest,
and struck off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Are ye come
out, as against a robber, with
swords and staves to seize
me?
49 I was daily with you in
the temple teaching, and ye
took me not: but this is done
that the scriptures might be
fulfilled.
50 And they all left him, and
fled.




















































51 And a certain young man
followed with him, having a
linen cloth cast about him,
over his naked body: and
they lay hold on him;
52 but he left the linen cloth,
and fled naked.


53 And they led Jesus
away to the high priest: and
there come together with him
all the chief priests and the
elders and the scribes.
54 And Peter had followed
him afar off, even within, into
the court of the high priest;
and he was sitting with the
officers, and warming himself
in the light of the fire.
55 Now the chief priests
and the whole council sought
witness against Jesus to put
him to death; and found it
not.
56 For many bare false
witness against him, and their
witness agreed not together.
57 And there stood up
certain, and bare 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 And not even 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 saith 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 at the right hand
of Power, and coming with
the clouds of heaven.
63 And the high priest rent
his clothes, and saith, What
further need have we of
witnesses?
64 Ye have heard the
blasphemy: what think ye?
And they all condemned him
to be worthy 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 officers received him
with blows of their hands.





66 And as Peter was
beneath in the court, there
cometh one of the maids of
the high priest;
67 and seeing Peter
warming himself, she looked
upon him, and saith, Thou
also wast with the Nazarene,
even Jesus.
68 But he denied, saying, I
neither know, nor
understand what thou sayest:
and he went out into the
porch; and the cock crew.
69 And the maid saw him,
and began again to say to
them that stood by, This is
one of them.
70 But he again denied it.
And after a little while again
they that stood by said to
Peter, of a truth thou art one
of them; for thou art a
Galilaean.
71 But he began to curse,
and to swear, I know not
this man of whom ye speak.
72 And straightway the
second time the cock crew.
And Peter called to mind the
word, how that Jesus said
unto him, Before the cock
crow twice, thou shalt deny
me thrice. And when he
thought thereon, he wept.


MATTHEW



Matthew 26:2 Ye know that
after two days the passover
cometh, and the Son of man
is delivered up to be
crucified.
Matthew 26:3 Then were
gathered together the chief
priests, and the elders of the
people, unto the court of the
high priest, who was called
Caiaphas;
Matthew 26:4 and they
took counsel together that
they might take Jesus by
subtlety, and kill him.
Matthew 26:5 But they said,
Not during the feast, lest a
tumult arise among people.



Matthew 26:6 Now when
Jesus was in Bethany, in the
house of Simon the leper,
Matthew 26:7 there came
unto him a woman having an
alabaster cruse of exceeding
precious ointment, and she
poured it upon his head, as
he sat at meat.
Matthew 26:8 But when the
disciples saw it, they had
indignation, saying, To what
purpose is this waste?
Matthew 26:9 For this
ointment might have been
sold for much, and given to
the poor.
Matthew 26:10 But Jesus
perceiving it said unto them,
Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good
work upon me.
Matthew 26:11 For ye have
the poor always with you;
but me ye have not always.
Matthew 26:12 For in that
she poured this ointment
upon my body, she did it to
prepare me for burial.
Matthew 26:13 Verily I say
unto you, Wheresoever this
gospel shall be preached in
the whole world, that also
which this woman hath done
shall be spoken of for a
memorial of her.





Matthew 26:14 Then one
of the twelve, who was
called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests,
Matthew 26:15 and said,
What are ye willing to give
me, and I will deliver him
unto you? And they weighed
unto him thirty pieces of
silver.
Matthew 26:16 And from
that time he sought
opportunity to deliver him
unto them.






Matthew 26:17 Now on
the first day of unleavened
bread the disciples came to
Jesus, saying, Where wilt
thou that we make ready for
thee to eat the passover?
Matthew 26:18 And he
said, Go into the city to such
a man, and say unto him,
The Teacher saith, My time
is at hand; I keep the
passover at thy house with
my disciples.
Matthew 26:19 And the
disciples did as Jesus
appointed them; and they
made ready the passover.


















Matthew 26:20 Now when
even was come, he was
sitting at meat with the
twelve disciples;
Matthew 26:21 and as they
were eating, he said, Verily I
say unto you, that one of you
shall betray me.
Matthew 26:22 And they
were exceeding sorrowful,
and began to say unto him
every one, Is it I, Lord?
Matthew 26:23 And he
answered and said, He that
dipped his hand with me in
the dish, the same shall
betray me.
Matthew 26:24 The Son of
man goeth, even as it is
written of him: but woe unto
that man through whom the
Son of man is betrayed!
good were it for that man if
he had not been born.



Matthew 26:26 And as
they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and blessed, and
brake it; and he gave to the
disciples, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body.
Matthew 26:27 And he
took a cup, and gave thanks,
and gave to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it;
Matthew 26:28 for this is
my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many
unto remission of sins.
Matthew 26:29 But I say
unto you, I shall not drink
henceforth of this fruit of the
vine, until that day when I
drink it new with you in my
Father's kingdom.






Matthew 26:30 And when
they had sung a hymn, they
went out unto the mount of
Olives.


Matthew 26:31 Then saith
Jesus unto them, All ye shall
be offended in me this night:
for it is written, I will smite
the shepherd, and the sheep
of the flock shall be
scattered abroad.
Matthew 26:32 But after I
am raised up, I will go
before you into Galilee.
Matthew 26:33 But Peter
answered and said unto him,
If all shall be offended in
thee, I will never be
offended.
Matthew 26:34 Jesus said
unto him, Verily I say unto
thee, that this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
Matthew 26:35 Peter saith
unto him, Even if I must die
with thee, yet will I not deny
thee. Likewise also said all
the disciples.



Matthew 26:36 Then
cometh Jesus with them unto
a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto his disciples,
Sit ye here, while I go
yonder and pray.
Matthew 26:37 And he
took with him Peter and the
two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and
sore troubled.
Matthew 26:38 Then saith
he unto them, My soul is
exceeding sorrowful, even
unto death: abide ye here,
and watch with me.
Matthew 26:39 And he
went forward a little, and fell
on his face, and prayed,
saying, My Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass
away from me: nevertheless,
not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26:40 And he
cometh unto the disciples,
and findeth them sleeping,
and saith unto Peter, What,
could ye not watch with me
one hour?
Matthew 26:41 Watch and
pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh is
weak.
Matthew 26:42 Again a
second time he went away,
and prayed, saying, My
Father, if this cannot pass
away, except I drink it, thy
will be done.
Matthew 26:43 And he
came again and found them
sleeping, for their eyes were
heavy.
Matthew 26:44 And he left
them again, and went away,
and prayed a third time,
saying again the same words.
Matthew 26:45 Then
cometh he to the disciples,
and saith unto them, Sleep
on now, and take your rest:
behold, the hour is at hand,
and the Son of man is
betrayed into the hands of
sinners.
Matthew 26:46 Arise, let us
be going: behold, he is at
hand that betrayeth me.



Matthew 26:47 And while
he yet spake, lo, Judas, one
of the twelve, came, and
with him a great multitude
with swords and staves,
from the chief priest and
elders of the people.
Matthew 26:48 Now he
that betrayed him gave them
a sign, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that is he: take
him.
Matthew 26:49 And
straightway he came to
Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi;
and kissed him.
Matthew 26:50 And Jesus
said unto him, Friend, do
that for which thou art come.
Then they came and laid
hands on Jesus, and took
him.
Matthew 26:51 And
behold, one of them that
were with Jesus stretched
out his hand, and drew his
sword, and smote the
servant of the high priest,
and struck off his ear.
Matthew 26:52 Then saith
Jesus unto him, Put up again
thy sword into its place: for
all they that take the sword
shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 26:53 Or thinkest
thou that I cannot beseech
my Father, and he shall even
now send me more than
twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54 How then
should the scriptures be
fulfilled that thus it must be?
Matthew 26:55 In that hour
said Jesus to the multitudes,
Are ye come out as against a
robber with swords and
staves to seize me? I sat
daily in the temple teaching,
and ye took me not.
Matthew 26:56 But all this
is come to pass, that the
scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the
disciples left him, and fled.










































Matthew 26:57 And they
that had taken Jesus led him
away to the house of
Caiaphas the high priest,
where the scribes and the
elders were gathered
together.
Matthew 26:58 But Peter
followed him afar off, unto
the court of the high priest,
and entered in, and sat with
the officers, to see the end.
Matthew 26:59 Now the
chief priests and the whole
council sought false witness
against Jesus, that they might
put him to death;
Matthew 26:60 and they
found it not, though many
false witnesses came. But
afterward came two,
Matthew 26:61 and said,
This man said, I am able to
destroy the temple of God,
and to build it in three days.
Matthew 26:62 And the
high priest stood up, and
said unto him, Answerest
thou nothing? what is it
which these witness against
thee?
Matthew 26:63 But Jesus
held his peace. And the high
priest said unto him, I adjure
thee by the living God, that
thou tell us whether thou art
the Christ, the Son of God.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus said
unto him, Thou hast said:
nevertheless I say unto you,
Henceforth ye shall see the
Son of man sitting at the right
hand of Power, and coming
on the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 26:65 Then the
high priest rent his garments,
saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy: what further
need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard
the blasphemy:
Matthew 26:66 what think
ye? They answered and said,
He is worthy of death.



Matthew 26:67 Then did
they spit in his face and
buffet him: and some smote
him with the palms of their
hands,
Matthew 26:68 saying,
Prophesy unto us, thou
Christ: who is he that struck
thee?


Matthew 26:69 Now Peter
was sitting without in the
court: and a maid came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast
with Jesus the Galilaean.
Matthew 26:70 But he
denied before them all,
saying, I know not what thou
sayest.
Matthew 26:71 And when
he was gone out into the
porch, another maid saw
him, and saith unto them that
were there, This man also
was with Jesus of Nazareth.
Matthew 26:72 And again
he denied with an oath, I
know not the man.
Matthew 26:73 And after a
little while they that stood by
came and said to Peter, Of a
truth thou also art one of
them; for thy speech maketh
thee known.
Matthew 26:74 Then began
he to curse and to swear, I
know not the man. And
straightway the cock crew.
Matthew 26:75 And Peter
remembered the word which
Jesus had said, Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny
me thrice. And he went out,
and wept bitterly.







LUKE



Luke 22:1 Now the feast
of unleavened bread drew
nigh, which is called the
Passover.
Luke 22:2 And the chief
priests and the scribes
sought how they might put
him to death; for they feared
the people.












Luke 7:37 And behold, a
woman who was in the city,
a sinner; and when she knew
that he was sitting at meat in
the Pharisee's house, she
brought an alabaster cruse of
ointment,
Luke 7:38 and standing
behind at his feet, weeping,
she began to wet his feet
with her tears, and wiped
them with the hair of her
head, and kissed his feet,
and anointed them with the
ointment.
Luke 7:39 Now when the
Pharisee that had bidden him
saw it, he spake within
himself, saying, This man, if
he were a prophet, would
have perceived who and
what manner of woman this
is that toucheth him, that she
is a sinner.

















Luke 22:3 And Satan
entered into Judas who was
called Iscariot, being of the
number of the twelve.
Luke 22:4 And he went
away, and communed with
the chief priests and
captains, how he might
deliver him unto them.
Luke 22:5 And they were
glad, and covenanted to give
him money.
Luke 22:6 And he
consented, and sought
opportunity to deliver him
unto them in the absence of
the multitude.



Luke 22:7 And the day of
unleavened bread came, on
which the passover must be
sacrificed.
Luke 22:8 And he sent
Peter and John, saying, Go
and make ready for us the
passover, that we may eat.
Luke 22:9 And they said
unto him, Where wilt thou
that we make ready?
Luke 22:10 And he said
unto them, Behold, when ye
are entered into the city,
there shall meet you a man
bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house
whereinto he goeth.
Luke 22:11 And ye shall
say unto the master of the
house, The Teacher saith
unto thee, Where is the
guestchamber, where I shall
eat the passover with my
disciples?
Luke 22:12 And he will
show you a large upper
room furnished: there make
ready.
Luke 22:13 And they went,
and found as he had said
unto them: and they made
ready the passover.


Luke 22:14 And when the
hour was come, he sat
down, and the apostles with
him.
Luke 22:21 But behold,
the hand of him that
betrayeth me is with me on
the table.
Luke 22:22 For the Son of
man indeed goeth, as it hath
been determined: but woe
unto that man through whom
he is betrayed!
Luke 22:23 And they began
to question among
themselves, which of them it
was that should do this thing.










Luke 22:17 And he
received a cup, and when he
had given thanks, he said,
Take this, and divide it
among yourselves:
Luke 22:18 for I say unto
you, I shall not drink from
henceforth of the fruit of the
vine, until the kingdom of
God shall come.
Luke 22:19 And he took
bread, and when he had
given thanks, he brake it,
and gave to them, saying,
This is my body which is
given for you: this do in
remembrance of me.
Luke 22:20 And the cup in
like manner after supper,
saying, This cup is the new
covenant in my blood, even
that which is poured out for
you.





































Luke 22:40 And when he
was at the place, he said
unto them, Pray that ye enter
not into temptation.
Luke 22:41 And he was
parted from them about a
stone's cast; and he kneeled
down and prayed,
Luke 22:42 saying, Father,
if thou be willing, remove this
cup from me: nevertheless
not my will, but thine, be
done.
Luke 22:43 And there
appeared unto him an angel
from heaven, strengthening
him.
Luke 22:44 And being in an
agony he prayed more
earnestly; and his sweat
became as it were great
drops of blood falling down
upon the ground.
Luke 22:45 And when he
rose up from his prayer, he
came unto the disciples, and
found them sleeping for
sorrow,
Luke 22:46 and said unto
them, Why sleep ye? rise
and pray, that ye enter not
into temptation.































Luke 22:47 While he yet
spake, behold, a multitude,
and he that was called Judas,
one of the twelve, went
before them; and he drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Luke 22:48 But Jesus said
unto him, Judas, betrayest
thou the Son of man with a
kiss?
Luke 22:49 And when they
that were about him saw
what would follow, they
said, Lord, shall we smite
with the sword?
Luke 22:50 And a certain
one of them smote the
servant of the high priest,
and struck off his right ear.
Luke 22:51 But Jesus
answered and said, Suffer ye
them thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed
him.
Luke 22:52 And Jesus said
unto the chief priests, and
captains of the temple, and
elders, that were come
against him, Are ye come
out, as against a robber, with
swords and staves?
Luke 22:53 When I was
daily with you in the temple,
ye stretched not forth your
hands against me: but this is
your hour, and the power of
darkness.
John 18:3 Judas then,
having received the band of
soldiers, and officers from
the chief priests and the
Pharisees, cometh thither
with lanterns and torches and
weapons.
John 18:4 Jesus therefore,
knowing all the things that
were coming upon him, went
forth, and saith unto them,
Whom seek ye?
John 18:5 They answered
him, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus saith unto them, I am
he. And Judas also, who
betrayed him, was standing
with them.
John 18:6 When therefore
he said unto them, I am he,
they went backward, and fell
to the ground.
John 18:7 Again therefore
he asked them, Whom seek
ye? And they said, Jesus of
Nazareth.
John 18:8 Jesus answered, I
told you that I am he; if
therefore ye seek me, let
these go their way:
John 18:9 that the word
might be fulfilled which he
spake, Of those whom thou
hast given me I lost not one.
John 18:10 Simon Peter
therefore having a sword
drew it, and struck the high
priest's servant, and cut off
his right ear. Now the
servant's name was
Malchus.
John 18:11 Jesus therefore
said unto Peter, Put up the
sword into the sheath: the
cup which the Father hath
given me, shall I not drink it?






































Luke 22:66 And as soon as
it was day, the assembly of
the elders of the people was
gathered together, both chief
priests and scribes; and they
led him away into their
council, saying,
Luke 22:67 If thou art the
Christ, tell us. But he said
unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:
Luke 22:68 and if I ask you,
ye will not answer.
Luke 22:69 But from
henceforth shall the Son of
man be seated at the right
hand of the power of God.
Luke 22:70 And they all
said, Art thou then the Son
of God? And he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
