Mark 13-14
Mar 13:1 And as He went out of the Kodesh, one of His talmidim said to Him, “Rabbi, see what stones! And what buildings!”
Mar 13:2 And יהושע answering, said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another at all, which shall not be thrown down.”1 Footnote: 1Mt.24.
Mar 13:3 And as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the Kodesh, Kĕpha, and Ya`akov̱, and Yochanan, and Andri asked Him separately,
Mar 13:4 “Say to us, when shall these events be? And what shall be the sign when all this is going to be accomplished?”
Mar 13:5 And יהושע began to say to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray,
Mar 13:6 for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they shall lead many astray.
Mar 13:7 “And when you hear of fighting and reports of fighting, do not be troubled – it has to take place, but the end is not yet.
Mar 13:8 “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. And there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be scarcities of food, and disturbances. These are the beginnings of birth-pains.
Mar 13:9 “But take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to councils and to congregations. You shall be beaten, and you shall be brought before rulers and sovereigns for My sake, for a witness to them.
Mar 13:10 “And the Gospel has to be proclaimed first to all the nations.
Mar 13:11 “And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you are to say. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Ruach HaKadosh.
Mar 13:12 “And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death.
Mar 13:13 “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. But he who endures to the end, he shall be saved.1 Footnote: 1Mt. 10:22, Mt. 24:13.
Mar 13:14 “And when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’1 spoken of by Dani’ĕl HaNavi, set up where it should not be” – he who reads, let him understand – “then let those who are in Yehuḏah flee to the mountains. Footnote: 1See Abomination that lays waste in Explanatory Notes.
Mar 13:15 “And he who is on the house-top, let him not go down into the house, nor come in to take whatever out of his house.
Mar 13:16 “And he who is in the field, let him not go back to get his cloak.
Mar 13:17 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing children in those days!
Mar 13:18 “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter.
Mar 13:19 “For in those days there shall be distress, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which Elohim created until this time, nor ever shall be.
Mar 13:20 “And if the Master had not shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen ones, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Mar 13:21 “And if anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is HaMashiach!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it.
Mar 13:22 “For false messiahs and false prophets shall rise and show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Mar 13:23 “And you, take heed. See, I have forewarned you of it all.
Mar 13:24 “But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light,
Mar 13:25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers in the heavens shall be shaken.
Mar 13:26 “And then they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming in the clouds with much power and esteem.
Mar 13:27 “And then He shall send His Melachim, and assemble His chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
Mar 13:28 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near.
Mar 13:29 “So you also, when you see these taking place, know that it is near, at the door.
Mar 13:30 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all this takes place.
Mar 13:31 “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.
Mar 13:32 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the Melachim in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mar 13:33 “Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is –
Mar 13:34 as a man going abroad, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
Mar 13:35 “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning,
Mar 13:36 lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
Mar 14:1 Now Pesach and Chag Matzot was after two days. And the chief kohanim and the scribes were seeking how to take Him through treachery and put Him to death.
Mar 14:2 And they said, “Not at the festival, lest there shall be an uproar of the people.”
Mar 14:3 And while He was in Bĕyth Anyah in the house of Shimʽon the leper, and sitting at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of perfume, genuine nard, very costly. And breaking the flask she poured it on His head.
Mar 14:4 But there were some who were much displeased among themselves, and said, “Why was this perfume wasted?
Mar 14:5 “For it could have been sold for more than three hundred pieces of silver and given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.
Mar 14:6 But יהושע said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
Mar 14:7 “For you have the poor with you always, and you are able do good to them, whenever you wish. But you do not always have Me.
Mar 14:8 “What she had, she used. She took it beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.
Mar 14:9 “Truly, I say to you, wherever this Good News is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman did shall also be spoken of, to her remembrance.”
Mar 14:10 And Yehuḏah from Qerioth, one of the twelve, went to the chief kohanim to deliver Him up to them.
Mar 14:11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him silver. And he was seeking how to deliver Him up, conveniently.
Mar 14:12 And on the first day of Chag Matzot, when they were slaughtering the Pesach lamb, His talmidim said to Him, “Where do You wish us to go and prepare, for You to eat the Seder?”
Mar 14:13 And He sent out two of His talmidim and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man bearing a jar of water shall meet you, follow him.
Mar 14:14 “And wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Rabbi says, “Where is the guest room in which I am to eat the Seder with My talmidim?” ’
Mar 14:15 “And he shall show you a large upper room, furnished, ready. Prepare for us there.”
Mar 14:16 And His talmidim went out and came into the city, and found it as He said to them, and they prepared the Seder.
Mar 14:17 And evening having come, He came with the twelve.
Mar 14:18 And as they sat and ate, יהושע said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you who is eating with Me shall deliver Me up.”
Mar 14:19 And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” And another, “Is it I?”
Mar 14:20 And He answering, said to them, “It is one of the twelve, he who is dipping with Me in the dish.
Mar 14:21 “The Son of Aḏam is indeed going, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Aḏam is delivered up! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Mar 14:22 And as they were eating, יהושע took matzah, having blessed, broke it, gave it to them and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.”
Mar 14:23 And taking the cup, giving thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
Mar 14:24 And He said to them, “This is My blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many.
Mar 14:25 “Truly, I say to you, I shall certainly no more drink of the fruit of the vine till that day when I drink it anew in the reign of Elohim.”
Mar 14:26 And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mar 14:27 And יהושע said to them, “All of you shall stumble in Me this night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’
Mar 14:28 “But after I am raised, I shall go before you to Galil.”
Mar 14:29 And Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if all shall stumble, yet not I.”
Mar 14:30 And יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that today, this night, before the cock shall crow twice, you shall deny Me three times.”
Mar 14:31 But he spoke more strongly, “If I have to die with You, I shall not deny You!” And they all said the same.
Mar 14:32 And they came to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to His talmidim, “Sit here while I pray.”
Mar 14:33 And He took with Him Kĕpha, and Ya`akov̱, and Yochanan, and He began to be greatly amazed, and to be deeply distressed.
Mar 14:34 And He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
Mar 14:35 And He went on a little, and fell on the ground, and was praying that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
Mar 14:36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all is possible for You. Make this cup pass from Me. Yet not what I desire, but what You desire.”
Mar 14:37 And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Kĕpha, “Shimʽon, are you sleeping? You were not able to watch one hour!
Mar 14:38 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
Mar 14:39 And again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
Mar 14:40 And having returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
Mar 14:41 And He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. See, the Son of Aḏam is being delivered up into the hands of the sinners.
Mar 14:42 “Rise up, let us go. See, he who is delivering Me up has drawn near.”
Mar 14:43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, Yehuḏah, one of the twelve, with a large crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief kohanim and the scribes and the elders.
Mar 14:44 And the one who was delivering Him up had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He – seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
Mar 14:45 And coming, going straight up to Him, he said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Mar 14:46 And they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.
Mar 14:47 And one of those standing by drew his sword and struck the servant of the Kohen Gadol, and cut off his ear.
Mar 14:48 And יהושע answering, said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take Me?
Mar 14:49 “Daily I was with you in the Kodesh teaching, and you did not seize Me. But let the Scriptures be filled.”
Mar 14:50 And they all left Him and fled.
Mar 14:51 And a certain young man was following Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And when they seized him,
Mar 14:52 he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
Mar 14:53 And they led יהושע away to the Kohen Gadol. And all the chief kohanim, and the elders, and the scribes came together to Him.
Mar 14:54 And Kĕpha followed Him at a distance, even into the courtyard of the Kohen Gadol. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.
Mar 14:55 And the chief kohanim and all the council were seeking witness against יהושע to put Him to death, and they were finding none.
Mar 14:56 For many bore false witness against Him, but their evidences did not agree.
Mar 14:57 And some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying,
Mar 14:58 “We heard Him saying, ‘I shall destroy this bayith that is made with hands, and within three days I shall build another made without hands.’ ”
Mar 14:59 And not even then did their witness agree.
Mar 14:60 Then the Kohen Gadol stood up in the centre and asked יהושע, saying, “Have You no answer to make? What do these witness against You?”
Mar 14:61 But He remained silent and gave no answer. Again the Kohen Gadol asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Mashiach, the Son of the Blessed?”
Mar 14:62 And יהושע said, “I am, and you shall see the Son of Aḏam sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”
Mar 14:63 And tearing his garments, the Kohen Gadol said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
Mar 14:64 “You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be liable to death.
Mar 14:65 And some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.
Mar 14:66 And as Kĕpha was below in the courtyard, one of the slave girls of the Kohen Gadol came,
Mar 14:67 and seeing Kĕpha warming himself, she looked at him and said, “And you were with יהושע of Natsareth.”
Mar 14:68 But he denied it, saying, “I do not know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out onto the porch, and a cock crowed.
Mar 14:69 And the slave girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
Mar 14:70 And again he was denying it. And after a little while those who stood by again said to Kĕpha, “Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too, and your speech is alike.”
Mar 14:71 And he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!”
Mar 14:72 And a second time the cock crowed. And Kĕpha remembered the word that יהושע had said to him, “Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.” And thinking on it, he wept.
