MODERN LITERAL VERSION

14:1 Now after two days it was the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread and the high-priests and the scribes sought how they might take-hold of him with treachery and might kill him;

14:2 but they said, Not at the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.
{Mk 14:3-9 & Mt 26:6-13.}


14:3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at a meal, a woman came having an alabaster flask of costly undiluted perfume of nard and she crushed the alabaster flask and poured it over his head.

14:4 But there were some being indignant to themselves, and saying, *For what purpose, has the waste of the perfume happened?

14:5 For* this perfume was able to have been sold* for above three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they scolded her.


14:6 But Jesus said, Allow her. Why do you* harass her? She has worked a good work *for me.

14:7 For* you* always have the poor with you* and whenever you* wish, you* are able to do them good, but you* do not always have me.

14:8 As she had, she did. She took upon herself beforehand to perfume my body *for its burying.

14:9 And assuredly I say to you*, Wherever this good-news is preached into the whole world, what also she has done will be spoken *for her memorial.

14:14 And wherever he enters in, say to the householder, The Teacher says, Where is the guestroom, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?

14:15 And he will show you* a big furnished upper room that is ready. Prepare it for us there.

14:16 And his disciples went forth and came into the city and found like he had said to them and they made ready the Passover.

14:24 And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the {F} new covenant*, which is poured out concerning many.

14:25 Assuredly I say to you*, I may never* drink anymore from the fruit of the vine, until that day whenever I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

14:34 And he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful, remain here and watch.


14:35 And he went forward a little and fell upon the earth and prayed that*, if it was possible, the hour might pass away from him.

14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible for you; carry this cup away from me, but not what I will, but what you will.


14:37 And he comes and finds them sleeping and says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Were you not strong-enough to watch one hour?

14:38 Watch and pray, that* you* may not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed eager, but the flesh is weak.


14:39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.


14:40 And having returned, he found them sleeping again, for* their eyes were heavy, and they did not know what they should answer him.


14:41 And he comes the third time and says to them, Furthermore, are you* sleeping and resting yourselves. It is time. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is given up into the hands of sinners.

14:45 And having come to the place, he went immediately to him and says to him, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

14:46 And they put hands upon him and took-hold of him.


14:47 But a certain one of those standing beside him, pulled his sword and struck the bondservant of the high-priest and took off his ear.


14:48 And Jesus answering, said to them, Have you* come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me?

14:49 I was with you* daily teaching in the temple and you* did not take-hold of me, but this is done in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.

{Mk 14:54 & Mt 26:58 & Lk 22:54b-62 & Jn 18:15-18 Courtyard of High Priest's residence, Friday around dawn.}


14:54 And Peter had followed him from afar, to just inside, into the courtyard of the high-priest, and he was sitting with the attendants and warming himself in the light of the fire.
{Mk 14:55-65 & Mt 26:59-68 & Lk 22:63-65.}


14:55 Now the high-priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, *that* they might put him to death, and did not find it.

14:56 For* many falsely testified against him and their testimonies were not equal.

14:57 And some stood up and falsely testified against him, saying,

14:58 We heard him say, I will tear-down this temple, the one made* with hands, and in three days, I will build another not made* with hands.

14:59 And thus, neither was their testimony equal.


14:60 And the high-priest stood up in the midst of them and asked Jesus, saying, Are you answering nothing? What are these testifying against you?

14:61 But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high-priest asked him and said to him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Gracious* One?


14:62 And Jesus said, I am and you* will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven.


14:63 And the high-priest ripped his tunic and says, Why we still have need of witnesses?

14:64 You* have heard the blasphemy. How does it appear to you*? And they all condemned him to be liable for death.

14:65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to batter him and to say to him, Prophesy! And the attendants cast him away with slaps on the cheek.
{Mk 14:66-72 & Mt 26:69-75 & Lk 22:54-62 & Jn 18:25-27.}


14:66 And Peter being below in the courtyard, there one of the maidservants of the high-priest comes;

14:67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked on him and says, You were also with Jesus, the Nazarene.


14:68 But he denied it, saying, I neither know him, nor even know what you are saying and he went outside to the forecourt, and the rooster crowed.


14:69 And the maidservant saw him and began again to say to those standing beside her, This one is from them.

14:70 But he again denied it. And after a little while, those who stood beside them said to Peter again, You truly are one of* them; for you are a Galilean and your speech is similar.


14:71 But he began to curse and swear, I do not know this man of whom you* speak.

14:72 And the rooster crowed the second time. And Peter was reminded the declaration that Jesus said to him, Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times. And having put his thoughts on it, he wept.
