Mark 14:43-72
43) Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came -- and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44) Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Take him, and lead him away safely."
45) When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him.
46) They laid their hands on him, and took him.
47) But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48) Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49) I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn‘t arrest me. But this is so that the scriptures might be fulfilled."
50) They all left him, and fled.
51) A certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth thrown around him, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52) but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53) They led Jesus away to the high priest. There came together with him all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.
54) Peter had followed him afar off, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
55) Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56) For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn‘t agree with each other.
57) Some 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.‘"
59) Even so their testimony did not agree.
60) The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"
61) But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
62) Jesus said, "I AM. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."
63) The high priest tore his clothes, and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?
64) You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65) Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy!" The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66) As Peter was beneath in the court, one of the maids of the high priest came,
67) and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
68) But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out into the porch, and the cock crowed.
69) The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
70) But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."
71) But he began to curse, and to swear, "I don‘t know this man of whom you speak!"
72) The cock crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
Mark 15:1-15
1) Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2) Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."
3) The chief priests accused him of many things.
4) Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"
5) But Jesus made no further answer, so Pilate marveled.
6) Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
7) There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8) The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
9) Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
10) For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11) But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12) Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
13) They cried out again, "Crucify him!"
14) Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
15) Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
