Mark 14:1‑15:47• 1Now the passover and the feast of unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him.
2For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people.
3And when he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he lay at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it out upon his head.
4And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?
5for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.
6But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;
7for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.
8What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.
9And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.
10And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them;
11and they, when they heard it, rejoiced, and promised him to give money. And he sought how he could opportunely deliver him up.
12And the first day of unleavened bread, when they slew the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?
13And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
14And wheresoever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15and *he* will shew you a large upper room furnished ready. There make ready for us.
16And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
17And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve.
18And as they lay at table and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you shall deliver me up; he who is eating with me.
19And they began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, Is it *I*? and another, Is it *I*?
20But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.
22And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take this: this is my body.
23And having taken the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank out of it.
24And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many.
25Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
27And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
28But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet not *I*.
30And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before the cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.
31But he said so much exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.
32And they come to a place of which the name is Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.
33And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.
34And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.
35And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what *I* will, but what *thou* wilt.
37And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?
38Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
39And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.
40And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.
41And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
42Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
43And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead him away safely.
45And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.
46And they laid their hands upon him and seized him.
47But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear.
48And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?
49I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
50And all left him and fled.
51And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men seize him;
52but he, leaving the linen cloth behind him, fled from them naked.
53And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54And Peter followed him at a distance, till he was within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find any.
56For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.
57And certain persons rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,
58*We* heard him saying, *I* will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands.
59And neither thus did their testimony agree.
60And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
61But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62And Jesus said, *I* am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
63And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses?
64Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
65And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,
67and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And *thou* wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
68But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.
69And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them.
70And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art one of them, for also thou art a Galilean.
71But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.
1And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.
3And the chief priests accused him urgently.
4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.
5But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.
6But at the feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged of him.
7Now there was the person named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with him, and that had committed murder in the insurrection.
8And the crowd crying out began to beg that he would do to them as he had always done.
9But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
10for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call King of the Jews?
13And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
15And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
16And the soldiers led him away into the court which is called the praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
17And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.
18And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.
20And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
21And they compel to go with them a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
22And they bring him to the place called Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
23And they offered him wine to drink medicated with myrrh; but he did not take it.
24And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst themselves, casting lots on them, what each one should take.
25And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.
27And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
28And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.
29And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,
30save thyself, and descend from the cross.
31In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
33And when the sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;
34and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls for Elias.
36And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.
37And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.
39And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.
40And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42And when it was already evening, since it was the preparation, that is, the day before a sabbath,
43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
44And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to him the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.
45And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
47And Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was put. (Mark 14:1‑15:47)
John 18:1‑19:42• 1Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
2And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
3Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
5They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
6When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went away backward and fell to the ground.
7He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
8Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, As to those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.
11Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
13and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
15Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;
16but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
17The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
18But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
19The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
20Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
22But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
24Annas then had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
26One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27Peter denied therefore again, and immediately the cock crew.
28They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
29Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
31Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;
32that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
34Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.
37Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest it, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.
39But ye have a custom that I release some one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
40They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
1Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him.
2And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
3and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
4And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.
5(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.
7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
8When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
9and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?
11Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin.
12From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this man, thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
13Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;
14(now it was the preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
15But they cried out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.
17And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on this side, and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.
19And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
20This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
21The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews.
22Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.
24They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.
25And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
29There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.
30When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
31The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great day,) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.
32The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
33but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
34but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
36For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
37And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.
39And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.
41But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus. (John 18:1‑19:42)
