Mark

Chapter 14

14:1-2``Now, it was two days before the Passover
and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

And, the chief priests and the scribes/'experts in the law'
were looking 'for a way'/'as to how'
having seized Him {Jesus} by craftiness/treachery
they might put Him to death. . . 14:2``
for they were saying, "Not during the feast . . .
lest now there will be a riot/uproar of the people."

14:3``And, while He {Jesus} was in Bethany
in the house of Simon the leper,
as He was 'reclining at the table'/dining
there came a woman having an alabaster jar/box
of 'aromatic oil/ointment from nard {nardos}' . . .
pure . . . very costly.

Having broken the alabaster jar/box,
she poured it on His head.

{Note: Blueletter bible says that nardos came from the head or spike of a fragrant East Indian plant belonging to the genus Valerianna, which yields a juice of delicious odor which the ancients used (either pure or mixed) in the preparation of a most precious ointment.}

14:4-5``Now there were certain there who were angry
and said to one another {murmuring to each other},
"To what purpose has been this waste of ointment? 14:5``

For it was possible to have sold
the ointment for more than three hundred 'silver coins'/denarii
and given to the poor!"

So they 'spoke angrily'/murmured {embrimaomai} against her.

14:6-9``But Jesus said, "Let her alone.

Why are you 'bothering her'/'causing her trouble'?

A 'beautiful service'/
'good of intrinsic value {kalos} production {ergon}'
she rendered toward Me. 14:7``

For the poor you will always have with you
and whenever you desire, you are able to do them good.

But Me . . . you absolutely are not {ouk} always having. 14:8``

'She did what she could'/'That which she had . . . she used'.

She took occasion beforehand
to anoint My body for the burial. 14:9``

'I tell you the truth'/'Point of doctrine I am saying to you' {amen},
wherever the gospel/good news' is proclaimed in the whole world,
also that which she herself did,
will be spoken as a memorial of her."

14:10``And Judas Iscariot, the one of the twelve,
went off to the chief priests
for the purpose of betraying {paradidomi}
Him {Jesus} to them.

14:11``And, they having heard,
rejoiced inwardly,
and promised to give him money.

So he {Judas} went to seeking how he might betray Him
when the opportunity presented itself.

14:12``And, on the first day of the {Feast of} Unleavened Bread,
when it was custom to kill/sacrifice {thuo} the Passover {lamb},
His {Jesus} students/disciples say to Him,
"Where do You want/desire us to go
and prepare to eat the Passover?"

14:13-15``And He {Jesus}
'sent on a mission under His authority' {apostello}
two of His students/disciples and says to them,
"Go into the city, and there will meet you a man
carrying an 'earthenware pitcher'/jar {keramion} of water.
Follow him. 14:14``
And, wherever he enters, say to the owner/master of the house,
'The Teacher {didaskalos} says,
'Where is My guest room {kataluma},
where I may eat the Passover with My students/disciples?' 14:15``
And, he himself will show you
a 'large upper room/'large room upstairs',
'in a state of readiness'/furnished and prepared/ready.
And there make ready/preparations for us."

14:16``And, the students/disciples went out and came into the city,
and found things just as he had told them.
And, they prepared the Passover.

14:17``And, evening having come, He comes with the twelve.

14:18``And, while they were reclining at the dinner table and eating,
Jesus said, ""I tell you the truth'/'Point of doctrine
I am saying to you', one of you eating with Me, will betray Me."

14:19``They began to be grieved and to be saying to him,
one by one, "It is not I, is it?"

14:20``And, He {Jesus} said to them,
"One of the Twelve . . . one who dips with Me in the bowl/'deep dish'.

14:21``The 'Son of Man' will go as it is written about Him,
but woe to that man through whose agency
the Son of Man is betrayed!
It would be better for that one
if {ei} - and it is true - he had not been born."
  {idiom: literally 'Good were it for him, if that man had not been
  born'}

14:22``And, while they were eating,
having taken bread,
having offered a blessing,
He broke and gave to them and said,
"Take. This is My body."

14:23``And, having taken a cup
having given thanks,
He {Jesus} gave to them and they all drank from/of it.

14:24``And, He {Jesus} said to them,
"This is My blood of the covenant/testament
which is being poured out in behalf of many.

14:25`` 'I tell you the truth/
'Point of doctrine I am saying to you' {amen},
I will absolutely not ever {ou me} drink '
  {double negative is strongest negative:
  'I will absolutely not never drink '}
from the fruit of the vine'/'of the product of the vine'
until that day when I drink it new in quantity . . .
in the kingdom of God."

14:26``And, having sung a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives.

14:27-28``And, Jesus said to them,
"All of you will be caused to stumble/'fall away',
because it stands written in the past
with the result that it stands written forever,
'I will strike/smite the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered. 14:28``
But, after I {Jesus} have been raised,
I will go ahead/before you to Galilee."

14:29``But, Peter said,
"Even if {ei} - and it is true {1st class condition of assumption} -
all will be caused to stumble/'fall away' . . .
certainly not {ouk} I."

14:30``And, Jesus says to him,
" 'I tell you the truth'/'Point of doctrine I am saying to you'
today, on this night, before a rooster/cock crows twice,
you will deny Me three times."

14:31``And, he {Peter} kept on saying
with 'great emphasis'/'more vehemence and irritation',
"Even if {ean} it should be necessary for me to die with You,
- maybe it will, maybe it will not be necessary -
I will positively not {ou me} deny You."
  {ou me - very strong double negative again 'absolutely not never'}

Moreover, in like manner, also all kept on saying.

14:32``And, they come to a place called Gethsemane,
and He {Jesus} says to His students/disciples,
"Sit here while I {Jesus} shall pray."

14:33``And, He {Jesus} takes with Him
Peter, and James, and John.

And He began to be very/thoroughly alarmed and distressed.

14:34``And, He {Jesus} says to them,
"My soul {psuche} is encompassed with grief . . .
even to the point of death.

Remain here and 'stay alert'/'be watching'."

14:35``And, having gone on ahead a little,
He {Jesus} was falling upon the ground
and was praying that if {ei} - and it is true -
it were possible the hour would pass from Him.

14:36``And He {Jesus} was saying,
"Abba . . . Father . . . all things are possible for/to You.

Cause this cup to pass by and from Me.

Nevertheless, not what I will/desire . . . but what You {will/desire}."

14:37``And, He {Jesus} comes and finds them sleeping,
and He says to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping?

Did you absolutely not {ouk}
have the strength to watch/'stay alert' for one hour? 14:38``

Be constantly watching/'staying alert' and praying
in order that you might not enter into temptation . . .
the spirit is willing . . . but the flesh is weak."

14:39``And, again, having gone off,
He {Jesus} prayed,
saying the same Thing/Word/Doctrine/Logos {logos}.

14:40``And, again, having come,
He {Jesus} found them sleeping . . .
because their eyes were heavy . . .
and they absolutely did not {ouk}
know what to say to Him.

14:41-2``And, He {Jesus} comes a third time and says to them,
"Keep on sleeping and taking/getting your rest.

It is enough. The hour has come.

Behold/Look, the 'Son of Man' is being betrayed
into the hands of sinners. 14:42``

Get up. Let us be going.

Behold, the one who is betraying Me has come near and is at hand."

14:43``And, immediately, when He {Jesus} was still speaking,
there approaches Judas, one of the twelve,
and with him a crowd with swords and clubs/cudgels,
who came personally from the high/chief priests
and scribes/'experts in the law' and the elders.

14:44``Now, the one betraying Him,
had given them a prearranged signal, saying,
"Whoever I shall kiss, it is He Himself.
'Arrest Him'/'Seize Him with violence'
and lead him away safely."

14:45``And having come, immediately, approaching Him,
he {Judas} says, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him {Jesus} fervently.

14:46``And they laid their hands upon Him
and seized Him with violence.

14:47``And, a certain one of those who stood by,
drawing his sword, struck the slave of the high priest,
and took off his ear.

14:48-49``And 'having an answer'/'giving a discerning answer
from the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai},
Jesus said to them, "As against a brigand/robber
you came out with swords and clubs/cudgels to seize Me. 14:49``

'Day after day'/daily, I {Jesus} was with you,
teaching in the temple courts, yet you did not arrest/seize Me.

But {this has happened so that} the scriptures must be fulfilled."

14:50``And, having forsaken Him {Jesus},
they {His students/disciples} fled . . . all of them.
