Các Thầy Tế Lễ Lập Mưu Chống Đức Giê-su(A)
14 Hai ngày trước lễ Vượt Qua và lễ Bánh Không Men, các thượng tế và các giáo sư Kinh Luật lập mưu để bắt giết Đức Giê-su. 2 Họ bàn rằng: “Không nên làm trong kỳ lễ, kẻo gây náo động trong dân chúng.”
Đức Giê-su Được Xức Dầu Tại Bê-tha-ni(B)
3 Tại Bê-tha-ni, trong nhà của Si-môn, một người phung, Đức Giê-su đang ngồi tại bàn ăn, một phụ nữ mang đến một bình ngọc đựng dầu cam tùng nguyên chất rất đắt tiền, đập bình ra, đổ dầu thơm xức đầu Ngài.
4 Nhưng có mấy người tức giận nói với nhau: “Sao lại phí dầu thơm như vậy? 5 Dầu này có thể đem bán được hơn ba trăm đồng đê-na-ri để cho kẻ nghèo,” rồi họ trách người phụ nữ.
6 Nhưng Đức Giê-su bảo: “Hãy để mặc bà, tại sao các con làm phiền bà ấy? Bà đã làm một việc tốt đẹp cho Ta. 7 Vì các con vẫn có người nghèo ở với mình luôn và khi muốn, các con có thể làm phước cho họ, nhưng các con không có Ta mãi. 8 Bà đã làm điều mình có thể làm, đã xức dầu thân thể Ta trước để mai táng. 9 Thật Ta bảo các con, khắp thế giới hễ nơi nào Phúc Âm được truyền giảng, việc bà đã làm cũng sẽ được nhắc lại để tưởng nhớ người.”
Giu-đa Đồng Ý Phản Chúa(C)
10 Giu-đa Ích-ca-ri-ốt, một trong mười hai sứ đồ, đến gặp các thượng tế để phản nộp Đức Giê-su. 11 Nghe vậy họ mừng lắm và hứa cho Giu-đa tiền bạc, còn Giu-đa tìm dịp phản nộp Ngài.
Đức Giê-su Cùng Môn Đệ Đi Dự Lễ Vượt Qua(D)
12 Ngày đầu tiên của kỳ lễ Bánh Không Men, khi người ta dâng tế chiên con lễ Vượt Qua, các môn đồ thưa với Đức Giê-su: “Thầy muốn chúng con đi sửa soạn cho Thầy ăn lễ Vượt Qua ở đâu?”
13 Ngài sai hai môn đồ đi và dặn họ: “Hãy vào trong thành, một người xách vò nước sẽ gặp các con, hãy theo người, 14 và khi người vào nhà nào, các con hãy nói cùng chủ nhà ấy: ‘Thầy hỏi: Phòng dành cho khách để Ta ăn lễ Vượt Qua với các môn đệ Ta ở đâu?’ 15 Người sẽ chỉ cho các con một phòng rộng trên lầu đã được sắp đặt sẵn. Hãy dọn cho chúng ta tại đó.”
16 Các môn đệ đi vào thành, gặp mọi điều như Ngài đã nói, và họ sửa soạn cho lễ Vượt Qua.
17 Chiều tối, Ngài cùng đến với mười hai sứ đồ. 18 Khi đang ngồi ăn, Đức Giê-su bảo họ: “Ta nói thật cùng các con, một người trong vòng các con, là người đang ăn với Ta, sẽ phản bội Ta.”
19 Họ buồn rầu, từng người một hỏi Ngài: “Thưa Thầy, không phải con chứ?”
20 Ngài nói với họ: “Ấy là một trong mười hai người, người chấm vào cùng đĩa với Ta. 21 Vì Con Người đi như lời Kinh Thánh đã chép về Ngài, nhưng khốn thay cho kẻ phản bội Con Người! Thà nó đừng sinh ra thì hơn.”
Lễ Tiệc Thánh(E)
22 Đang khi ăn, Đức Giê-su lấy bánh, chúc phước, bẻ ra và đưa cho các môn đệ. Ngài bảo: “Hãy nhận lấy, đây là thân thể Ta.”
23 Ngài cũng lấy chén, tạ ơn rồi trao cho họ, và tất cả đều uống.
24 Ngài nói: “Đây là huyết giao ước đổ ra cho nhiều người. 25 Thật, Ta nói cùng các con, Ta sẽ không uống nước nho này nữa cho đến ngày Ta uống nước nho mới trong Nước Đức Chúa Trời.”
26 Sau khi đã hát thánh ca Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ đi ra để lên núi Ô-liu.
Đức Giê-su Báo Trước Việc Phê-rơ Chối Ngài(F)
27 Đức Giê-su bảo các môn đệ: “Tất cả các con đều sẽ vấp ngã, như lời Kinh Thánh đã chép:
‘Ta sẽ đánh người chăn
Thì chiên sẽ bị tan lạc.’[a]
28 Nhưng sau khi Ta sống lại, Ta sẽ đi đến Ga-li-lê trước các con.”
29 Phê-rơ thưa với Ngài: “Dù mọi người sẽ vấp ngã, nhưng con sẽ không.”
30 Đức Giê-su bảo ông: “Thật, Thầy bảo con, đêm nay trước khi gà gáy hai lần, con sẽ chối Ta ba lần.”
31 Nhưng Phê-rơ càng quả quyết: “Dù phải chết với Thầy, con cũng không chối Thầy đâu.” Tất cả các môn đệ đều nói như vậy.
Đức Giê-su Cầu Nguyện Tại Ghết-sê-ma-nê(G)
32 Họ đi đến một chỗ gọi là Ghết-sê-ma-nê, rồi Ngài bảo các môn đệ: “Các con hãy ngồi đây, trong khi Ta cầu nguyện.” 33 Ngài đem Phê-rơ, Gia-cơ và Giăng theo và bắt đầu cảm thấy hãi hùng và đau buồn. 34 Ngài bảo họ: “Linh hồn Ta buồn bã cho đến chết, hãy đợi ở đây và thức canh.”
35 Ngài đi xa thêm một quãng, sấp mình xuống đất và cầu nguyện rằng: Nếu có thể được, xin cho giờ này qua khỏi con. 36 Ngài thưa: “A-ba, Cha, mọi sự Cha có thể làm được, xin cất chén này khỏi con; nhưng không theo ý con, mà theo ý Cha.”
37 Ngài trở lại thấy họ đang ngủ, nên bảo Phê-rơ: “Si-môn, ngủ rồi ư? Con không thể thức được một giờ sao? 38 Phải tỉnh thức và cầu nguyện để các con khỏi sa vào sự cám dỗ, vì tâm linh thì mong muốn nhưng thể xác lại yếu đuối.”
39 Ngài lại đi và cầu nguyện như trước. 40 Ngài trở lại thấy họ đang ngủ vì mắt họ nặng trĩu và họ không biết trả lời Ngài thế nào.
41 Ngài trở lại lần thứ ba và bảo họ: “Các con còn ngủ và nghỉ ngơi sao? Đủ rồi! Đã đến giờ Con Người bị nộp vào tay kẻ có tội. 42 Đứng dậy, chúng ta đi! Kìa, kẻ phản Ta đã đến.”
Đức Giê-su Bị Bắt(H)
43 Ngay khi Ngài còn đang nói, Giu-đa, là một trong số mười hai sứ đồ, đến cùng với một đám đông cầm gươm và gậy do các thượng tế, giáo sư Kinh Luật và các trưởng lão sai đến.
44 Kẻ phản bội cho họ một dấu hiệu này: “Hễ tôi hôn ai, chính là người đó, hãy bắt lấy và dẫn đi cho cẩn thận.” 45 Vừa đến, Giu-đa lập tức tới gần Ngài và nói: “Chào Thầy!” rồi hôn Ngài. 46 Chúng ra tay bắt Ngài. 47 Một trong những người đứng đó rút gươm ra, đánh đầy tớ của vị trưởng tế, chém đứt tai nó.
48 Đức Giê-su bảo họ: “Các ngươi cầm gươm và gậy đến bắt Ta như bắt kẻ cướp vậy sao? 49 Hằng ngày Ta ở cùng các ngươi, giảng dạy trong đền thờ mà các ngươi không bắt. Nhưng việc xảy ra, để lời Kinh Thánh được ứng nghiệm.” 50 Tất cả đều bỏ Ngài chạy trốn.
51 Một thanh niên theo Ngài, trên người chỉ choàng tấm vải, và chúng bắt chàng, 52 nhưng chàng bỏ lại tấm vải, trần truồng chạy thoát thân.
Đức Giê-su Trước Tòa Công Luận(I)
53 Họ dẫn Đức Giê-su đến vị trưởng tế. Tất cả các thượng tế, các trưởng lão và các giáo sư Kinh Luật đều họp tại đó. 54 Phê-rơ theo Ngài xa xa, vào tới trong sân của vị trưởng tế, ngồi sưởi chung với đám cảnh vệ bên đống lửa.
55 Các thượng tế và cả hội đồng tìm chứng cớ chống Đức Giê-su để xử tử Ngài, nhưng họ không tìm được gì. 56 Nhiều người vu cáo chống Ngài, nhưng lời chứng của họ không hợp nhau.
57 Có mấy người đứng lên vu cáo Ngài rằng: 58 “Chúng tôi nghe hắn nói: ‘Ta sẽ phá hủy đền thờ xây cất bằng tay này, trong ba ngày Ta sẽ dựng một đền thờ khác không do tay người xây cất.’ ” 59 Nhưng lời chứng của họ cũng không hợp nhau.
60 Vị trưởng tế đứng lên giữa họ, hỏi Đức Giê-su: “Anh không đáp lại những lời tố cáo của những người này sao?” 61 Nhưng Ngài im lặng, không trả lời chi cả. Vị trưởng tế lại hỏi: “Anh có phải là Chúa Cứu Thế, Con Đức Chúa Trời Phúc Lành[b] không?”
62 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Chính Ta! Rồi các ông sẽ thấy Con Người ngự bên phải Đấng Quyền Năng[c] hiện xuống trên mây trời.”
63 Vị trưởng tế xé áo mình, tuyên bố: “Còn cần nhân chứng làm gì nữa? 64 Quý vị đã nghe lời phạm thượng. Quý vị thấy thế nào?” Mọi người đều lên án Ngài đáng tội chết. 65 Có mấy người bắt đầu nhổ vào Ngài, che mặt Ngài, đấm Ngài và nói với Ngài: “Hãy nói tiên tri đi!” Đám cảnh vệ cũng nắm lấy Ngài, tát Ngài.
Phê-rơ Chối Chúa(J)
66 Khi Phê-rơ đang ở dưới sân, một trong những đầy tớ gái của vị trưởng tế đến, 67 thấy Phê-rơ đang ngồi sưởi, nhìn kỹ ông rồi nói: “Anh cũng ở với ông Giê-su, người Na-xa-rét.”
68 Nhưng Phê-rơ chối: “Tôi không biết, cũng không hiểu chị nói gì.” Rồi ông đi ra sân trước; lúc ấy gà gáy.
69 Đứa đầy tớ gái thấy ông tại đó, lại bắt đầu nói với những người đứng chung quanh: “Người này thuộc đám đó.” 70 Nhưng ông lại chối. Một lúc sau, những người đứng quanh đó lại nói với Phê-rơ: “Đúng rồi, anh thuộc đám đó, vì anh cũng là người Ga-li-lê.”
71 Ông bắt đầu rủa rồi thề: “Tôi không biết người các ông nói là ai.”
72 Tức thì gà gáy lần thứ hai. Phê-rơ nhớ lại lời Đức Giê-su đã bảo mình: “Trước khi gà gáy hai lần, con sẽ chối Ta ba lần.” Ông liền khóc nức nở.
Mark 14
English Standard Version
The Plot to Kill Jesus
14 (A)It was now two days before (B)the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes (C)were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, 2 for they said, “Not during the feast, (D)lest there be an uproar from the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
3 (E)And while he was at (F)Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,[a] as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii[b] and (G)given to the poor.” And they (H)scolded her. 6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For (I)you always have the poor with you, and whenever (J)you want, you can do good for them. But (K)you will not always have me. 8 (L)She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand (M)for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever (N)the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told (O)in memory of her.”
Judas to Betray Jesus
10 (P)Then (Q)Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, (R)went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to (S)betray him.
The Passover with the Disciples
12 (T)And on (U)the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they (V)sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 And he sent (W)two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, (X)‘The Teacher says, Where is (Y)my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you (Z)a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 (AA)And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, (AB)Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, (AC)one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is (AD)one of the twelve, (AE)one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man goes (AF)as it is written of him, but (AG)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (AH)It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
Institution of the Lord's Supper
22 (AI)And as they were eating, he took bread, and after (AJ)blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; (AK)this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had (AL)given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, (AM)“This is my (AN)blood of the[c] covenant, which is poured out for (AO)many. 25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial
26 (AP)And when they had sung a hymn, (AQ)they went out to (AR)the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will (AS)strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, (AT)I will go before you to Galilee.” 29 (AU)Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And (AV)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before (AW)the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But (AX)he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
32 (AY)And they went (AZ)to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him (BA)Peter and James and John, and began (BB)to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, (BC)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and (BD)watch.”[d] 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground (BE)and prayed that, if it were possible, (BF)the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, (BG)“Abba, Father, (BH)all things are possible for you. Remove (BI)this cup from me. (BJ)Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 (BK)Watch and (BL)pray that you may not (BM)enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, (BN)saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for (BO)their eyes were very heavy, and (BP)they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? (BQ)It is enough; (BR)the hour has come. (BS)The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
43 (BT)And immediately, while he was still speaking, (BU)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, (BV)“Rabbi!” And he (BW)kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his (BX)sword and struck the servant[e] of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 (BY)Day after day I was with you in the temple (BZ)teaching, and you did not seize me. But (CA)let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 (CB)And they all left him and fled.
A Young Man Flees
51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but (CC)a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.
Jesus Before the Council
53 (CD)And (CE)they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 (CF)And (CG)Peter had followed him at a distance, (CH)right into (CI)the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with (CJ)the guards and (CK)warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council[f] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 (CL)For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony (CM)did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 (CN)“We heard him say, (CO)‘I will destroy this temple (CP)that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, (CQ)not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[g] 61 But (CR)he remained silent and made no answer. (CS)Again the high priest asked him, “Are you (CT)the Christ, the Son of (CU)the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and (CV)you will see the Son of Man (CW)seated at the right hand of Power, and (CX)coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest (CY)tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard (CZ)his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they (DA)all condemned him as (DB)deserving death. 65 (DC)And some began (DD)to spit on him and (DE)to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him (DF)with blows.
Peter Denies Jesus
66 (DG)And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter (DH)warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway[h] and (DI)the rooster crowed.[i] 69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed (DJ)a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, (DK)“Before the rooster crows twice, you will (DL)deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.[j]

The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
14 After (B)two days it was the Passover and (C)the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by [a]trickery and put Him to death. 2 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany(D)
3 (E)And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly [b]oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred (F)denarii and given to the poor.” And they (G)criticized[c] her sharply.
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 (H)For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; (I)but Me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is (J)preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(K)
10 (L)Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
Jesus Celebrates the Passover with His Disciples(M)
12 (N)Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they [d]killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?”
13 And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 15 Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”
16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.
17 (O)In the evening He came with the twelve. 18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, (P)one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” [e]And another said, “Is it I?”
20 He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. 21 (Q)The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(R)
22 (S)And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, [f]eat; this is My (T)body.”
23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [g]new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 (U)And when they had sung [h]a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(V)
27 (W)Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble [i]because of Me this night, for it is written:
(X)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.’
28 “But (Y)after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 (Z)Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to [j]stumble, yet I will not be.”
30 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31 But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And they all said likewise.
The Prayer in the Garden(AA)
32 (AB)Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He (AC)took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, (AD)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, (AE)“Abba, Father, (AF)all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; (AG)nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? 38 (AH)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AI)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. 40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41 Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! (AJ)The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 (AK)Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(AL)
43 (AM)And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I (AN)kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 (AO)Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple (AP)teaching, and you did not seize Me. But (AQ)the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 (AR)Then they all forsook Him and fled.
A Young Man Flees Naked
51 Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him, 52 and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(AS)
53 (AT)And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were (AU)assembled all the (AV)chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. 54 But (AW)Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.
55 (AX)Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. 56 For many bore (AY)false witness against Him, but their testimonies [k]did not agree.
57 Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, (AZ)‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” 59 But not even then did their testimony agree.
60 (BA)And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 61 But (BB)He kept silent and answered nothing.
(BC)Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. (BD)And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? 64 You have heard the (BE)blasphemy! What do you think?”
And they all condemned Him to be deserving of (BF)death.
65 Then some began to (BG)spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers [l]struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps(BH)
66 (BI)Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with (BJ)Jesus of Nazareth.”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 (BK)And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” 70 But he denied it again.
(BL)And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; (BM)for you are a Galilean, [m]and your [n]speech shows it.”
71 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
72 (BN)A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.
