Mark Chapter 14
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
14:38. Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
14:39. And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.
14:40. And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him.
14:41. And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
14:42. Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.
14:43. And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.
14:44. And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away carefully.
14:45. And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail, Rabbi! And he kissed him.
14:46. But they laid hands on him and held him.
14:47. And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest and cut off his ear.
14:48. And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?
14:49. I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
14:50. Then his disciples, leaving him, all fled away.
14:51. And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body. And they laid hold on him.
14:52. But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.
14:53. And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.
14:54. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.
14:55. And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none.
14:56. For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were not agreeing.
14:57. And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
14:58. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.
14:59. And their witness did not agree.
14:60. And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?
14:61. But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?
14:62. And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven.
14:63. Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?
14:64. You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.
14:65. 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 struck him with the palms of their hands.
14:66. Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.
14:67. And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
14:68. But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.
14:69. And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.
14:70. But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.
14:71. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak.
14:72. And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep.
