New International Version

Mark 14:1-72

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

1Now the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. 2“But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.”

3While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

4Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages14:5 Greek than three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.

6“Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7The poor you will always have with you,14:7 See Deut. 15:11. and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. 9Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. 11They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

The Last Supper

12On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

13So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

19They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

20“It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

23Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24“This is my blood of the14:24 Some manuscripts the new covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25“Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

27“You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:

“ ‘I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep will be scattered.’14:27 Zech. 13:7

28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

29Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”

30“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice14:30 Some early manuscripts do not have twice. you yourself will disown me three times.”

31But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.

Gethsemane

32They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

35Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36“Abba, 14:36 Aramaic for father Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

37Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.

41Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Jesus Arrested

43Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.

44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48“Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” 50Then everyone deserted him and fled.

51A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin

53They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.

55The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

57Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’ ” 59Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

63The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64“You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.

Peter Disowns Jesus

66While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.

“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.

68But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.14:68 Some early manuscripts entryway and the rooster crowed

69When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70Again he denied it.

After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”

71He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”

72Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.14:72 Some early manuscripts do not have the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice14:72 Some early manuscripts do not have twice. you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

馬可福音 14:1-72

謀害耶穌

1再過兩天就是逾越節和除酵節,祭司長和律法教師正暗暗地找機會拘捕、殺害耶穌。

2他們說:「我們不能在節期那天下手,以免在百姓中引起騷亂。」

耶穌受膏

3耶穌在伯大尼村患過痲瘋病的西門家裡吃飯,有個女人帶了一瓶極貴重的純哪噠香膏進來,把玉瓶打破,將香膏倒在耶穌頭上。 4有些人生氣地彼此議論說:「為什麼這樣浪費? 5這瓶香膏可以賣三百多個銀幣14·5 三百多個銀幣」相當於當時人們一年的工錢。來賙濟窮人。」他們就責備那女人。

6耶穌說:「隨她吧!何必為難她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。 7因為你們身邊總會有窮人,你們隨時都可以幫助他們,可是你們身邊不會總有我。 8她做了自己能做的。她是為我的安葬做準備,提前用香膏抹了我的身體。 9我實在告訴你們,無論福音傳到世界哪個角落,人們都會傳揚這女人的事蹟,紀念她。」

猶大出賣耶穌

10十二門徒當中的加略猶大去見祭司長,要把耶穌出賣給他們。 11他們聽了喜出望外,答應給他酬金。於是猶大伺機出賣耶穌。

最後的晚餐

12除酵節的第一天,就是宰殺逾越節羔羊的那天,門徒問耶穌:「我們該到什麼地方為你準備逾越節的晚餐呢?」

13耶穌就派了兩個門徒,並囑咐他們:「你們進城會看到一個人帶著一瓶水迎面而來,你們就跟著他。 14他進哪一家,你們也跟著進去,對那家的主人說,『我們的老師問你,祂的客房在哪裡,祂要和門徒在裡面吃逾越節的晚餐。』 15主人會帶你們到樓上一間布置整齊的大房間,你們就在那裡準備吧。」

16兩個門徒出去,進了城,所遇見的果然和耶穌所說的一樣。他們預備了逾越節的晚餐。

17傍晚時分,耶穌帶著十二門徒來了。 18用餐的時候,耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,你們中間有一個人要出賣我,他現在正和我同桌吃飯。」

19他們聽了都感到不安,一個一個地問耶穌:「不是我吧?」 20耶穌說:「是你們十二個人中的一個,他現在正和我一起在盤子裡蘸餅吃。 21人子一定會受害,正如聖經的記載,但出賣人子的人有禍了,他還不如不生在這世上!」

22他們吃的時候,耶穌拿起餅來,祝謝後,便掰開,分給門徒,說:「拿去吃吧!這是我的身體。」 23接著又拿起杯來,祝謝後,遞給他們,他們都喝了。 24耶穌說:「這是我為萬人所流的立約之血。 25我實在告訴你們,從今天起,一直到我在上帝的國喝新酒的那天之前,我不會再喝這葡萄酒。」

26他們唱完詩歌,就出門去了橄欖山。

預言彼得不認主

27耶穌對他們說:「你們都要背棄我,因為聖經上說,

『我要擊打牧人,

羊群將四散。』

28但我復活後,要先你們一步去加利利。」

29彼得說:「即使所有人都背棄你,我也決不會背棄你!」

30耶穌說:「我實在告訴你,就在今天晚上雞叫兩次以前,你會三次不認我。」

31彼得鄭重地說:「就算要我跟你一起死,我也不會不認你。」其他門徒也都這樣說。

客西馬尼園的禱告

32他們到了客西馬尼園,耶穌對門徒說:「你們坐在這裡,我要去禱告。」

33於是耶穌帶著彼得雅各約翰向前走。祂覺得極其難過,非常傷痛, 34說:「我心裡非常憂傷,幾乎要死,你們留在這裡警醒。」 35耶穌往前走了不遠,俯伏在地禱告,如果可以,不要讓那時刻臨到祂。

36祂說:「阿爸,父啊,你無所不能,求你撤去此杯。然而,願你的旨意成就,而非我的意願。」

37祂回來,見他們都睡著了,就對彼得說:「西門,你在睡覺嗎?你不能警醒一時嗎? 38你們要警醒禱告,免得陷入誘惑。你們的心靈雖然願意,肉體卻很軟弱。」

39耶穌又去禱告,所祈求的跟上次一樣。 40祂回來時見他們又睡著了,因為他們睏得眼皮發沉,也不知道對祂說什麼。 41祂第三次禱告回來後,對他們說:「你們還在睡覺休息嗎?夠了,時候到了,看啊,人子要被出賣、交在罪人的手裡了。 42起來,我們走吧。看啊,出賣我的人已經來了!」

耶穌被捕

43耶穌還在說話的時候,十二門徒之一的猶大已帶了一群人拿著刀棍迎面而來。他們奉了祭司長、律法教師和長老之命來捉拿耶穌。 44出賣耶穌的猶大預先和他們定了暗號,說:「我親吻誰,誰就是耶穌,你們把祂抓起來,小心押走。」

45猶大隨即走到耶穌跟前說:「老師。」然後就親吻耶穌。 46其他人就下手捉拿耶穌。 47站在旁邊的一個門徒拔出刀朝大祭司的奴僕砍去,削掉了他一隻耳朵。

48耶穌問那群人:「你們像對付強盜一樣拿著刀棍來抓我嗎? 49我天天和你們在一起,在聖殿裡教導人,你們沒有來抓我。你們現在這樣做是要應驗聖經的話。」

50那時,門徒都撇下耶穌,各自逃命去了。 51只有一個身上披著一塊麻布的青年跟著耶穌。他們上去捉他, 52他丟了那塊麻布,赤身逃走了。

大祭司審問耶穌

53他們把耶穌押到大祭司那裡,眾祭司長、長老和律法教師都來了。 54那時彼得遠遠地跟著耶穌,一直來到大祭司的院子,與衛兵們坐在一起烤火。 55祭司長和全公會的人正在尋找證據控告耶穌,要定祂死罪,只是找不到。 56不少人作偽證控告祂,他們的證詞卻不一致。 57後來,有幾個人站起來作偽證說: 58「我們聽見祂說,『我要拆毀這座人手建造的聖殿,三天內不靠人力另造一座。』」 59即使這樣,他們的證詞也不一致。

60最後,大祭司在眾人面前站起來質問耶穌:「你不回答嗎?這些人作證控告你的是什麼呢?」

61耶穌還是沉默不語,什麼也不答。大祭司又問祂:「你是那當受稱頌者的兒子基督嗎?」 62耶穌說:「我是!將來你們要看見人子坐在全能上帝的右邊,駕著天上的雲降臨。」

63大祭司便撕裂衣服,說:「我們還需要什麼證人呢? 64你們聽見祂說褻瀆的話了,你們看怎麼辦?」他們都判祂死罪。

65有幾個人向祂吐唾沫,蒙上祂的眼睛,揮拳打祂,嘲笑祂說:「你說預言吧!」衛兵押祂下去時,也打祂。

彼得三次不認耶穌

66那時,彼得仍在院子裡,大祭司的一個婢女走過來, 67彼得在烤火,打量了他一番,說:「你也是那個拿撒勒人耶穌的同夥。」

68「我不知道也不明白你在說什麼!」彼得一邊否認,一邊躲到外院去。那時,雞叫了。

69一會兒,那婢女又看見彼得,就對旁邊的人說:「他是跟他們一夥的!」 70彼得又加以否認。

再過了一會兒,旁觀的人也指著彼得說:「你一定是跟他們一夥的,因為你也是加利利人!」

71彼得又賭咒又發誓,說:「我根本不認識你們說的這個人。」 72就在這時候,雞又叫了。彼得突然想起耶穌曾對他說:「在雞叫兩次以前,你會三次不認我」,忍不住痛哭起來。
