Mark 14

About Mark Mark is the shortest Gospel, a fast-moving account of Jesus' actions, his suffering and his resurrection.

After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.SelectedMark 14:1Ask

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.SelectedMark 14:2Ask

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.SelectedMark 14:3Ask

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?SelectedMark 14:4Ask

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.SelectedMark 14:5Ask

And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.SelectedMark 14:6Ask

For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.SelectedMark 14:7Ask

She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.SelectedMark 14:8Ask

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.SelectedMark 14:9Ask

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.SelectedMark 14:10Ask

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.SelectedMark 14:11Ask

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?SelectedMark 14:12Ask

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.SelectedMark 14:13Ask

And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?SelectedMark 14:14Ask

And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.SelectedMark 14:15Ask

And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.SelectedMark 14:16Ask

And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.SelectedMark 14:17Ask

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.SelectedMark 14:18Ask

And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?SelectedMark 14:19Ask

And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.SelectedMark 14:20Ask

The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.SelectedMark 14:21Ask

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.SelectedMark 14:22Ask

And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.SelectedMark 14:23Ask

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.SelectedMark 14:26Ask

And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.SelectedMark 14:27Ask

But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.SelectedMark 14:28Ask

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.SelectedMark 14:29Ask

And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.SelectedMark 14:30Ask

But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.SelectedMark 14:31Ask

And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.SelectedMark 14:32Ask

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;SelectedMark 14:33Ask

And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.SelectedMark 14:34Ask

And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.SelectedMark 14:35Ask

And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.SelectedMark 14:39Ask

And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.SelectedMark 14:40Ask

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.SelectedMark 14:41Ask

Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.SelectedMark 14:42Ask

And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.SelectedMark 14:43Ask

And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.SelectedMark 14:44Ask

And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.SelectedMark 14:45Ask

And they laid their hands on him, and took him.SelectedMark 14:46Ask

And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.SelectedMark 14:47Ask

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?SelectedMark 14:48Ask

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.SelectedMark 14:49Ask

And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:SelectedMark 14:51Ask

And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.SelectedMark 14:52Ask

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.SelectedMark 14:53Ask

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.SelectedMark 14:54Ask

And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.SelectedMark 14:55Ask

For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.SelectedMark 14:56Ask

And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,SelectedMark 14:57Ask

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.SelectedMark 14:58Ask

But neither so did their witness agree together.SelectedMark 14:59Ask

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?SelectedMark 14:60Ask

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?SelectedMark 14:61Ask

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.SelectedMark 14:62Ask

Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?SelectedMark 14:63Ask

Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.SelectedMark 14:64Ask

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 did strike him with the palms of their hands.SelectedMark 14:65Ask

And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:SelectedMark 14:66Ask

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.SelectedMark 14:67Ask

But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.SelectedMark 14:68Ask

And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.SelectedMark 14:69Ask

And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.SelectedMark 14:70Ask

But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.SelectedMark 14:71Ask

And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.SelectedMark 14:72Ask
