3 While(H) He was in Bethany(I) at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease,(J) as He was reclining at the table,(K) a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.(L)

3 While Jesus was in Bethany sitting at the table in the home of Simon the leper, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

4 And some of them were displeased within themselves, and said: For what purpose was this waste of the ointment?

4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

4 But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

4 But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this fragrant oil been wasted?

4 Irritated, some who were there asked one another, "Why was the perfume wasted like this?

5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

5 For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred (b)denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

5 For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii(M) and given to the poor.”(N) And they began to scold her.

6 But Jesus said: Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good work on me.

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

6 Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing(O) for Me.

6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me,

7 For you have the poor with you always; and whenever you choose, you can do them good; but me you have not always.

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

7 For you always have (G)the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

7 You always have the poor(P) with you, and you can do what is good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have Me.(Q)

7 because you'll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won't always have me.

8 She has done what she could; she has come beforehand to anoint my body for its burial.

8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

8 She has done what she could; (H)she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

8 She has done what she could; she has anointed My body(R) in advance for burial.(S)

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

36 And He said, “Abba,(BS) Father!(BT) All things are possible(BU) for You. Take this cup(BV) away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

36 He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

37 And he came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Simon, do you sleep? Had you not strength to watch one hour?

37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

37 And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

37 Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon,(BW) are you sleeping?” He asked Peter.(BX) “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

37 When he went back, he found his disciples asleep. "Simon, are you asleep?" he asked Peter. "You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

38 Watch, and pray, all of you, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

38 (AH)Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

38 Stay awake and pray(BY) so that you won’t enter into temptation.(BZ) The spirit(CA) is willing, but the flesh(CB) is weak.”

40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

40 And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

40 And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.(j) They did not know what to say to Him.(CC)

40 Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

41 And he came the third time, and said to them: Sleep the remaining time, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Get up;(CF) let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

48 But Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal,(k) to capture Me?

48 Jesus asked them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

49 I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

49 Every day I was with you (AL)in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”

49 Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex,(CM) and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures(CN) must be fulfilled.”(CO)

49 Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching, yet you didn't arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."

50 And they all forsook him and fled.

50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

50 And they all left Him and fled.

50 Then they all deserted Him and ran away.(CP)

50 Then all the disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.

A Young Man Flees

51 And there followed him a certain young man, who had a linen garment around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him;

51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

51 A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him.

51 Now a certain young man,(l) having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him,

51 A certain young man, who was wearing nothing but a linen sheet, was following Jesus. When the men grabbed him,

52 and he left the linen garment, and fled from them naked.

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

52 But he (v)pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked.

52 but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.(CQ)

52 he left the linen sheet behind and ran away naked.

Jesus Before The Sanhedrin

53 And they led Jesus away to the chief priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

53 (AM)They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes *gathered together.

53 They(CR) led Jesus away to the high priest,(CS) and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes(CT) convened.(CU)

53 Then they took Jesus to the high priest. All the high priests, elders, and scribes had gathered together.

54 And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire.

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

54 Peter had followed Him at a distance, (AN)right into (AO)the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the (w)officers and (AP)warming himself at the (x)fire.

54 Peter(CV) followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police,(m)(CW) warming himself by the fire.(n)

54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the servants and warming himself at the fire.

55 And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin sought for testimony against Jesus, in order to put him to death, and found none.

55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

55 Now the chief priests and the whole (y)(AQ)Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(CX) were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,(CY) but they could find none.

55 Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

56 For many testified falsely against him, and their testimony did not agree.

56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

56 For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

56 For many were giving false testimony(CZ) against Him, but the testimonies did not agree.

56 Although many people gave false testimony against him, their testimony didn't agree.

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

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

57 Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

57 Some stood up and were giving false testimony against Him, stating,

57 Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

58 “We heard Him say, ‘(AR)I will destroy this (z)temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

58 “We heard Him say, ‘I will demolish this sanctuary made by human hands,(DA) and in three days I will build another not made by hands.’”

58 "We ourselves heard him say, "I will destroy this sanctuary made by human hands, and in three days I will build another one not made by human hands.'"

59 And not even in this did their testimony agree.

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

59 Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

59 Yet their testimony did not agree(DB) even on this.

59 But even on this point their testimony didn't agree.

60 And the chief priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you?

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

60 The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? (aa)What is it that these men are testifying against You?”

60 Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"

61 But he was silent, and made no answer. Again, the chief priest asked him, and said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

61 (AS)But He kept silent and did not answer. (AT)Again the high priest was questioning Him, and (ab)saying to Him, “Are You (ac)the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

61 But He kept silent and did not answer anything.(DC) Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Messiah,(DD) the Son(DE) of the Blessed(DF) One?”

61 But he kept silent and didn't answer at all. The high priest asked him again, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"

62 Jesus replied: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

62 And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see (AU)the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and (AV)coming with the clouds of heaven.”

62 “I am,”(DG) said Jesus, “and all of you(o) will see the Son of Man(DH) seated at the right hand(DI) of the Power and coming with the clouds(DJ) of heaven.”(DK)(p)

62 Jesus said, "I AM, and "you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and "coming with the clouds of heaven.'"

63 And the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: What further need have we of witnesses?

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

63 (AW)Tearing his clothes, the high priest *said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

63 Then the high priest(DL) tore his robes(DM) and said, “Why do we still need witnesses?(DN)

63 Then the high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we still need witnesses?" he asked.

64 You have heard his impious speech. What think you? They all condemned him to be a subject of death.

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

64 You have heard the (AX)blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

64 You have heard the blasphemy!(DO) What is your decision?”(q)And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.(DP)

64 "You have heard his blasphemy! What is your verdict?" All of them condemned him as deserving death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him: Give a response. And the attendants struck him with their open hands.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

65 Some began to (AY)spit at Him, and (ad)(AZ)to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “(BA)Prophesy!” And the officers (ae)received Him with (af)slaps in the face.

65 Then some began to spit on Him, to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, saying, “Prophesy!”(DQ) The temple police(DR) also took Him and slapped Him.

65 Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, "Prophesy!" Even the servants took him and slapped him around.

Peter Denies Jesus Three Times

66 And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest came;

66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

66 (BB)As Peter was below in (BC)the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest *came,

66 While(DS) Peter(DT) was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s servants came.

66 While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's servant girls came by.

67 and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

67 and seeing Peter (BD)warming himself, she looked at him and *said, “You also were with Jesus the (BE)Nazarene.”

67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with that Nazarene,(DU) Jesus.”

67 When she saw Peter warming himself, she glared at him and said, "You, too, were with Jesus from Nazareth."

68 But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew.

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” And he (BF)went out onto the (ag)porch.(ah)

68 But he denied it: “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed.(r)

68 But he denied it, saying, "I don't know or even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

69 And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them.

69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

69 The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!”

69 When the servant saw him again she began to tell those standing nearby, “This man is one of them!”

69 The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

70 He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs.

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

70 But again (BG)he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, (BH)for you are a Galilean too.”

70 But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean!”(s)(DV)

70 Again he denied it. After a little while, the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, "Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!"

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

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

71 But he began to (ai)curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

71 Then he started to curse(t) and to swear with an oath,(DW) “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

71 Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"

72 And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

72 Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before (BI)a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” (aj)And he began to weep.

72 Immediately a rooster crowed a second time,(DX) and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” When he thought about it, he began to weep.(u)

72 Just then a rooster crowed a second time. Peter remembered that Jesus told him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." Then he broke down and cried.
