Mark 14:43-52

The Son of Man Handed Over: Anointing, Supper, Gethsemane, Betrayal, Trial, and Denial

Mark 14 moves from conspiracy to devotion, from betrayal to covenant meal, from confident disciples to sleeping and scattered disciples, from anguished prayer to willing surrender, from false testimony to true confession before the council, and from Peter's bold promise to bitter denial.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

43While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.
