Mark 14 : 1 (NLV)

It was now two days before the supper of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt and the supper of bread without yeast. The religious leaders and the teachers of the Law tried to trap Jesus. They tried to take Him so they could put Him to death.

Mark 14 : 2 (NLV)

These men said, "This must not happen on the day of the special supper. The people would be against it and make much trouble."

Mark 14 : 3 (NLV)

Jesus was in the town of Bethany eating in the house of Simon. Simon was a man with a very bad skin disease. A woman came with a jar of special perfume. She had given much money for this. She broke the jar and poured the special perfume on the head of Jesus.

Mark 14 : 4 (NLV)

Some of them were angry. They said, "Why was this special perfume wasted?

Mark 14 : 5 (NLV)

This perfume could have been sold for much money and given to poor people." They spoke against her.

Mark 14 : 6 (NLV)

Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why are you giving her trouble? She has done a good thing to Me.

Mark 14 : 7 (NLV)

You will have poor people with you all the time. Whenever you want, you can do something good for them. You will not have Me all the time.

Mark 14 : 8 (NLV)

She did what she could. She put this perfume on My body to make Me ready for the grave.

For sure, I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in all the world, this woman will be remembered for what she has done."

Mark 14 : 12 (NLV)

The first day of the supper of bread without yeast was the day to kill an animal. It was for the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. His followers said to Jesus, "What place do You want us to make ready for You to eat this special supper?"

He will take you to a large room on the second floor with everything in it. Make it ready for us."

Mark 14 : 20 (NLV)

He said to them, "It is one of the twelve followers. It is the one who is putting his hand with mine into the same dish.

Mark 14 : 21 (NLV)

Mark 14 : 27 (NLV)

After I am raised from the dead, I will go before you into the country of Galilee."

They came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to His followers, "You sit here while I pray."

Mark 14 : 33 (NLV)

He took Peter and James and John with Him. He began to have much sorrow and a heavy heart.

Mark 14 : 34 (NLV)

He said to them, "My soul is very sad. My soul is so full of sorrow I am ready to die. You stay here and watch."

Mark 14 : 35 (NLV)

He went a little farther and got down with His face on the ground. He prayed that this time of suffering might pass from Him if it could.

Mark 14 : 36 (NLV)

He said, "Father, You can do all things. Take away what must happen to Me. Even so, not what I want, but what You want."

Mark 14 : 37 (NLV)

Then Jesus came to the followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to watch one hour?

Mark 14 : 38 (NLV)

Watch and pray so that you will not be tempted. Man's spirit wants to do this, but the body does not have the power to do it."

Mark 14 : 39 (NLV)

Again Jesus went away and prayed saying the same words.

Mark 14 : 40 (NLV)

He came back and found them sleeping again. Their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to Him.

Mark 14 : 41 (NLV)

He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! Listen, the time has come when the Son of Man will be handed over to sinners.

Mark 14 : 42 (NLV)

Get up and let us go. See! The man who will hand Me over to the head religious leader is near."

Mark 14 : 43 (NLV)

At once, while Jesus was talking, Judas came. He was one of the twelve followers. He came with many other men who had swords and sticks. They came from the head religious leaders of the Jews and the teachers of the Law and the leaders of the people.

Mark 14 : 44 (NLV)

The man who was going to hand Jesus over gave the men something to look for. He said, "The Man I kiss is the One. Take hold of Him and take Him away."

Mark 14 : 45 (NLV)

At once Judas went straight to Jesus and said, "Teacher!" and kissed Him.

Mark 14 : 46 (NLV)

Then they put their hands on Him and took Him.

Mark 14 : 47 (NLV)

One of the followers of Jesus who stood watching took his sword. He hit the servant owned by the head religious leader and cut off his ear.

Mark 14 : 48 (NLV)

Jesus said to them, "Have you come with swords and sticks to take Me as if I were a robber?

Mark 14 : 49 (NLV)

I have been with you every day teaching in the house of God. You never took hold of Me. But this has happened as the Holy Writings said it would happen."

Mark 14 : 50 (NLV)

Then all His followers left Him and ran away.

Mark 14 : 51 (NLV)

A young man was following Him with only a piece of cloth around his body. They put their hands on the young man.

Mark 14 : 52 (NLV)

Leaving the cloth behind, he ran away with no clothes on.

Mark 14 : 53 (NLV)

They led Jesus away to the head religious leader. All the religious leaders and other leaders and the teachers of the Law were gathered there.

Mark 14 : 54 (NLV)

But Peter followed a long way behind as they went to the house of the head religious leader. He sat with the helpers and got warm by the fire.

Mark 14 : 55 (NLV)

The religious leaders and all the court were looking for something against Jesus. They wanted to find something so they could kill Him. But they could find nothing.

Mark 14 : 56 (NLV)

Many came and told false things about Him, but their words did not agree.

Mark 14 : 57 (NLV)

Some got up and said false things against Him. They said,

Mark 14 : 58 (NLV)

"We have heard Him say, 'I will destroy the house of God that was made with hands. In three days I will build another that is not made with hands.' ''

Mark 14 : 59 (NLV)

Even these who spoke against Him were not able to agree.

Mark 14 : 60 (NLV)

The head religious leader stood up in front of the people. He asked Jesus, "Have You nothing to say? What about the things these men are saying against You?"

Mark 14 : 61 (NLV)

Jesus said nothing. Again the head religious leader asked Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Holy One?"

Mark 14 : 62 (NLV)

Jesus said, "I am! And you will see the Son of Man seated on the right side of the All-powerful God. You will see Him coming again in the clouds of the sky."

Mark 14 : 63 (NLV)

Then the head religious leader tore his clothes apart. He said, "Do we need other people to speak against Him?

Mark 14 : 64 (NLV)

You have heard Him speak as if He were God! What do you think?" They all said He was guilty of death.

Mark 14 : 65 (NLV)

Some began to spit on Him. They covered Jesus' face, and they hit Him. They said, "Tell us what is going to happen." Soldiers hit Him with their hands.

Mark 14 : 66 (NLV)

Peter was outside in the yard. One of the servant-girls of the head religious leader came.

Mark 14 : 67 (NLV)

She saw Peter getting warm. She looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazareth."

Mark 14 : 68 (NLV)

Peter lied, saying, "I do not know Jesus and do not understand what you are talking about." As he went out, a rooster crowed.

Mark 14 : 69 (NLV)

The servant-girl saw him again. She said to the people standing around, "This man is one of them."

Mark 14 : 70 (NLV)

He lied again saying that he did not know Jesus. Later, those who stood around said to Peter again, "For sure you are one of them. You are from the country of Galilee. You talk like they do.''

Mark 14 : 71 (NLV)

He began to say strong words and to swear. He said, "I do not know the Man you are talking about!"

Mark 14 : 72 (NLV)

At once a rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, "Before a rooster crows two times, you will say three times you do not know Me." When he thought about it, he cried.
