MARK Chapter 14

Mark 14

The plot to kill Jesus 

1 Moreover, amid two days to the Passover and the unleavened bread (feast), even the Chief Priests and the Scribes are seeking, how to seize Him by tricks, and to outrightly kill Him. 

2 however, they said, not on the feast day, and not at a time, there will be tumult of people.

Mary, a Woman of selfless-Love with costly perfume in alabaster flask 

@Bethany 

3. And as He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon (son of) a leper, reclining at a meal, even a faithful woman came, having alabaster vase/soft-rock carved-vase, with a VERY EXPENSIVE spikenard myrrh-perfume; and she crushed the head of the alabaster vase, and pour it forth on Him.

4 But, some persons are much displeased towards themselves, unto why is this waste happening to this myrrh-perfume?

5 for, it is possible to sell this perfume above three hundreds denarii, and be given to beggars. And they snort with anger. 

6 and Jesus says, leave her alone; why causing her weariness? She has engaged in a good deeds unto Me.

7 for, you always have beggars amid yourselves, and whenever you desire, it is possible to do them well (Eu); but, you will not have Me always.

8 She has come in advance to apply perfume, which she has, on My Body, to do it unto My burial.

9 however, I tell you and so shall it be, wherever in case, this Gospel will be proclaimed unto the whole world, even what she did, will be preached in her memorial (as an example of a woman of Agape).

Judah Of kerioth agreed to betray Jesus 

10 and Judah Iscariot, one of the twelve, goes away towards the Chief Priests, at least, to betray Him to them.

11 Having heard, they rejoice, and promise to give him pieces of silver (money) as he seeks how to betray Him in good-time.

Jesus celebrates His last Passover but first new covenant feast

12 and by the foremost day (14th day after new moon) of unleavened (bread) at which Passover (lamb) will be sacrificed, His disciples tell Him, where do you want passover to be prepared, at least, to go and eat it?

13 and He sends two of His disciples, and tells them, go into the town, and you will meet a man, carrying earthen-ware of water. Follow him.

14 And whichever place, peradventure, he enters, tell the head of the family, the Master says, where is the guest room for Me, where to eat the Passover with My disciples.

15 and he will show you a great upper-room, furnished and made-ready. And prepare that place for us.

16 And the disciples proceed forth, and come into the town, and find it just as He tells them, and they prepare the passover meal .

17 and as it becomes evening, He comes amid the twelve.

18 and as He sat down at the table to eat; Jesus says, surely I tell you, one out of you, who is eating with Me will betray Me. 

19 and they begin to be distressed, and say to Him, one by one, whether is it me?

20 But, He tells them, one of the twelve, who dip (hand) with Me into the bowl, is the one.

21 for, the Son indeed is going away from men, just as it is written concerning Him; but, Alas to that man through whom the Son will be betrayed to men! it is good for him, if that same man was not born.

Jesus establishes the New-age Covenant by holy communion with bread and wine

22 and as they were eating, He takes a loaf of bread, blesses it (speak well to it), break, and give them, and says, take, this is of My Body.

23 and He takes a cup (of wine), expresses gratitude, and He gives them, so, they drink out of it all.

24 and He tells them, this is of the Blood of My Covenant (Contract), which is poured forth for many people.

25 Surely, I tell you, that, I will no longer, drink out of vine, and not at all, until that day in the Kingdom of God, when I will drink with HIS offsprings by birth in a New-age.

26 and having sung a hymn (celebrating God in song), they proceed forth unto Mount olives.

Jesus predicts that Peter will deny knowing Him

27 And Jesus tells them, everybody will stumble + in Me this night+; for it is written, smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. (Zach 13:7)

28 but amid rising up from death, I will go before you unto Galilee.

29 and Peter tells Him, even if everybody will stumble; on the contrary, not me.

30 And Jesus tells him, surely I tell you, that, in the night of this day, or before cock crow twice, you will renounce Me three times.

31 But, he says it, the more, in case, it is necessary, to die with you, I will not at all, deny You. Moreover, even all of them speak likewise. 

The prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane (like tilting toward Peter's advice) 

32 As He comes unto a place, which is named Gethsemane (oil press garden near Jerusalem); He tells His disciples, sit down here, while I make prayer (to God).

33 and He takes Peter, James and John with Him; and begins to be overwhelmed and anxious. 

34 and He tells them, My Soul is very sorrowful, as far as death; remain here and keep awake. 

35 And He goes forward a little distant, and falls down upon the earth, and at least make prayer, if it is possible, for the hour to pass away from Him.

36 And He says, ABBA (My FATHER/My Ancestor/Life Giver), FATHER, all things are possible to YOU; take away this cup (fate) from Me; but, not of what I desire, but what is of YOU.

37 and He comes and find them sleeping. And tells Simon Peter, are you sleeping? Can't you keep awake for one hour?

38 be vigilant and make prayer, at least not to go into temptation, for the Spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh is without strength.

39 and again He departs to make prayer, saying the same words.

40 and He comes again, and finds them sleeping. For, their eyes were heavy; and do not know what to answer Him.

41 and He comes the third time and tells them, well, sleep henceforth and rest. Stay away; for the hour has come, behold, the Son will be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.

42 wake up, and go away; behold, how, the one who betray Me approaches!

Jesus was betrayed and arrested

43 and as He was still preaching to them, immediately, Judah arrives, being one of the twelve, and with him is a crowd, from the Chief Priests and Scribes and Sahendrists with dirks/hort-swords and clubs.

44 however, the one who betray Him has given them a signal, saying: whoever possibly I kiss, the same is He; seize Him, and lead Him away securely (asphalos).

45 so, having come, near Him, he immediately says, Rabbi, and kiss Him earnestly.

46 they lay hands upon Him, and seize Him.

Peter wants to physically fight for Jesus.

47 but one of certain persons standing by, draw out a dirk/bg knife and strike the servant of the High priest, and cut off his ear.

48 and in responding, Jesus tells them, why do you proceed forth with swords and clubs, as upon a robber, to arrest Me?

49 I have been towards you in the temple teaching every day. And, you did not seize Me. But, at least to fulfill the scriptures.

50 and all (disciples) run away, and left Him.

(John) Marcus (the writer of this book) was assaulted and flee naked 

51 and a certain young man was following Him, who wear a linen-cloth all around upon his naked body, and they seized him. 

52 So, he left the linen-cloth behind, and run away naked.

Jesus was tried and condemned by Jewish council of Sahendrists

@ Jerusalem, by Tuesday night.

53 and they take away Jesus toward the High priest, and all the Chief Priests, and Sahendrists and Scribes assembled. 

54 And Peter follows Him from afar, and as far as inside the court-yard unto the High Priest; And he is sitting towards the fire, warming himself, with the officers.

55 but, the Chief Priest and all the joint session seek a given evidence/testimony against Jesus, towards killing Him, but they did not find.

56 for, many people bear false witness against Him, but there is no similar testimony.

57 and certain people stand up, to bear false-witness against Him, saying,

58 we heard Him saying, I will demolish this temple, which was made by hands, and through three days, I will construct another, not made with hands.

59 and likewise, their testimonies was not even equal/similar. 

60 and the High Priest stand up unto the middle, and asks Jesus, saying, why don't you answer any? Why are these people testifying against You?

61 But, He was silent, and does not answer, not even to anything. Again the High Priest asks Him, and tells Him, are You the Christ, the Son of the BLESSED/ADORABLE ONE (Eulogetou)?

62. But, Jesus says, I Am. And you will see the Son sitting down from the Right Hand of Power in heaven, coming to men amid the clouds. 

63 Howbeit, the High Priest, tears his garment, saying, of what need is it to still have a witness?

64 did you hear the blasphemy, how does it appear to you? So, all condemn Him to be liable to death.

65 and certain officers take hold of Him, and started to spit on Him, and blindfold His face entirely, and blow Him, and tell Him, prophesy! And even slap him with their palms

Peter denies knowing Jesus three times but feel bitter, the third time by Tuesday night

66 and Peter being at lower part, in the court-yard, and one of the maid-servants of the High-Priest came,

67 and she saw Peter warming himself, and look on him, and say, even you, have been with Jesus, the Nazarene.

68 but he denies, saying, he is neither aware nor understand what you are saying. And he proceeds outside unto the front of the court; and the cock crow.

69 and the maid-servant sees him, and begins again to tell those standing by, that this one is from them.

70 but he denies it again. And a little while amid this, those standing-by, again tells Peter, truly, you are from them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech resemble one.

71 but, he begins to bind himself with oath and swear; I do not know this man, of whom you speak!

72 and immediately, by the second time, the cock crow, and Peter recollects the utterance (rhema) of Jesus, before they laid hands upon Him, telling him, the cock will crow twice, and you will renounce Me three times; so, he weeps aloud.
