Mark
Chapter 14 (Continued)
14:51-52``And
a certain young man was following with Him {Jesus}
who
had thrown a linen cloth around his nakedness.
And,
they seized him. 14:52``
And,
having left the linen cloth, he ran off naked.
14:53``And,
they led Jesus to the high priest,
and
there are gathered together all the chief priests
and
elders and scribes/'experts in the law'.
14:54``And
Peter, from a distance, followed Him {Jesus}
even
into the courtyard of the high/chief priest.
And,
he {Peter} was sitting with the guards/officers
and
warming himself by the fire.
14:55``Now
the chief priests
and
the entire 'Sanhedrin counsel' {sunedrion}
were
constantly seeking testimony against Jesus
with
a view to putting Him to death,
and
they were absolutely not {ouk} finding anything.
14:56``For
many were repeatedly bearing false witness/testimony
against
Him . . . but their testimony absolutely did not {ouk} agree.
{Note: An important part of Jewish justice was to have two witnesses testify against the man being charged. They lied, but did not get their stories to match.}
14:57-58``And,
certain, having risen,
were
bearing false testimony against Him, saying, 14:58``
"As
for us, we heard Him {Jesus} saying,
'as
for Myself, I will destroy this temple which is made with hands
and
throughout a period of three days
another
one of the same kind . . . made without hands, I will build.'"
14:59``Yet
absolutely not {ouk} even
in
the way described did their testimony did agree.
14:60``And,
having risen,
the
high priest in the midst was interrogating {eperotao}
Jesus
saying, "Do you have no answer {apokrinomai}?
What is this they are testifying against you?"
14:61``But
He {Jesus} kept on maintaining His silence,
and
did not answer.
Again
the high priest interrogated Him and said,
"Are
you the Christ/'Anointed One'/Messiah . . .
the
Son of the Blessed One?"
14:62``Then Jesus said, "I am.
And
you will see the 'Son of Man'
sitting
on the right hand of Power
and
coming with the clouds of heaven."
14:63-64``Then
the high priest, having torn apart his tunic, says,
"Why
do we still have need of witnesses? 14:64``
You
have heard His blasphemy! What 'do you think'/'is your view'?"
And, they all condemned Him to be guilty of death.
14:65``And
certain ones began to be spitting on Him,
and
to be 'covering His face'/'blindfolding Him'
and
'pummeling Him'/'striking Him with their fists', saying, "Prophesy!"
Even
the guards/officers took Him
and
'caught Him by blows with the flat of the hand'/'slapped Him'.
14:66-67``And,
when Peter was down in the courtyard,
there
comes one of the high priest's slave-girls 14:67``
and
having seen Peter warming himself,
having
gazed intently at him she says,
"And,
as for you,
you
also were with that one of Nazareth, that Jesus."
14:68``But
he {Peter} denied it, saying,
"Neither
do I know nor do I understand, as for you,
what
you are talking about."
And, he went out into the forecourt.
14:69``And,
the slave girl, having seen him,
she
began again to be saying to the bystanders,
"This
man is one of them."
14:70``But again, he kept on denying it.
And
a short time later, the bystanders again kept on saying to Peter,
"Truly
you are one of them, for you are also a Galilean."
14:71``But
he {Peter} began
to
'be putting himself under a curse'/curse
and
to 'be putting himself under oath'/swear,
"I
absolutely do not {ouk} know this man
concerning
whom you are speaking!"
14:72``And, immediately, a second time a cock sounded forth.
And,
Peter remembered The Word/Doctrine as Jesus spoke it to him
"Before
the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."
And
having put his thought upon it,
he
{Peter} began to weep intensely.
