Stay here and keep watch.” <A name="36"></a><a href="/mark/14-35.htm">35</a>Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him. <A name="37"></a><a href="/mark/14-36.htm">36</a>“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.” <A name="38"></a><a href="/mark/14-37.htm">37</a>Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour? <A name="39"></a><a href="/mark/14-38.htm">38</a>Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” <A name="40"></a><a href="/mark/14-39.htm">39</a>Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. <A name="41"></a><a href="/mark/14-40.htm">40</a>And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.

And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire. <A name="56"></a><a href="/mark/14-55.htm">55</a>Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin<a href="#fn">k</a> were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any. <A name="57"></a><a href="/mark/14-56.htm">56</a>For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent. <A name="58"></a><a href="/mark/14-57.htm">57</a>Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him: <A name="59"></a><a href="/mark/14-58.htm">58</a>“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’ ” <A name="60"></a><a href="/mark/14-59.htm">59</a>But even their testimony was inconsistent. <A name="61"></a><a href="/mark/14-60.htm">60</a>So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?” <A name="62"></a><a href="/mark/14-61.htm">61</a>But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” <A name="63"></a><a href="/mark/14-62.htm">62</a>“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power<a href="#fn">l</a> and coming with the clouds of heaven.”<a href="#fn">m</a> <A name="64"></a><a href="/mark/14-63.htm">63</a>At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses? <A name="65"></a><a href="/mark/14-64.htm">64</a>You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death. <A name="66"></a><a href="/mark/14-65.htm">65</a>Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face. <A name="67"></a>Peter Denies Jesus (<a href ="../matthew/26.htm#69">Matthew 26:69–75</a>; <a href ="../luke/22.htm#54">Luke 22:54–62</a>; <a href ="../john/18.htm#15">John 18:15–18</a>)<a href="/mark/14-66.htm">66</a>While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down <A name="68"></a><a href="/mark/14-67.htm">67</a>and saw him warming himself there.

Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.<a href="#fn">n</a> <A name="70"></a><a href="/mark/14-69.htm">69</a>There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.” <A name="71"></a><a href="/mark/14-70.htm">70</a>But he denied it again.
