OrthJBC - Mark - 14

14:1  Now it was two days before the Pesach, the Chag HaMatzot. And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking how they might by ormah (cunning) do away with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

14:2  For they were saying, "Not at the Chag, for fear that a riot break out among the am ha'aretz." AN ACTED NEVU'AH (PROPHECY): AN ISHA PREPARES HAGUF HAREBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH FOR KEVURAH (MT 26:6-13; MK 14:3-9; JO 12:2-8)

14:3  And he was in Beit-Anyah at the bais of Shimon the leper, reclining at tish, and an isha came, having an alabaster flask of costly mishcha (ointment), pure nard, and having broke open the alabaster flask, she poured [it on] the rosh of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

14:4  Now some were there who in ka'as said to one another, "For what reason has this waste of mishcha taken place?

14:5  "For this mishcha was able to be sold for more than three hundred denarii and to be given to the aniyim." And they were reproaching her.

14:6  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bringing about difficulty for the isha? Has she not performed one of the Gemilut Chasadim on me?

14:7  "For always the aniyim you have with you, and when you wish you are able to do ma'asim tovim for them, but me you do not always have. [Devarim 15:11]

14:8  "With what she had she did all she could. She prepared ahead of time to anoint my basar for the kevurah (burial) [Tehillim 16:9-10; Iyov 19:25-27; Yeshayah 53:11].

14:9  "And, omein, I say to you, wherever the Besuras HaGeulah is proclaimed in kol ha'aretz, also what this isha did will be spoken in zikaron of her." BETRAYING THE REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH: THE ACT OF YEHUDAH FROM K'RIOT (MT 26:14-16; MK 14:10-11; LK 22:3-6)

14:10  And Yehudah from K'riot, one of the Shneym Asar, went to the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) in order that he might betray him to them.

14:11  And there was chedvah (rejoicing) with the ones having heard and they gave the havtachah of a matnat kesef to Yehudah. And he was seeking how he might conveniently betray Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. PREPARING FOR PESACH WITH REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH (MT 26:17-20; MK 14:12-17; LK 22:7-30)

14:12  And at the rishon of the Chag HaMatzot [when it was customary to prepare the Pesach Korban for mo'ed zevach], his talmidim say to him, "Where do you wish us to go and make the preparations for you to conduct the Seder?" [Shemot 12:1-11; Devarim 16:1-4]

14:13  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sends two of his talmidim and he says to them, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jar of water; follow him;

14:14  "and wherever he enters, tell the Ba'al Bayit that the Rebbe says, "Where is my mekom linah (guest room) where I can conduct the Pesach Seder with my talmidim?

14:15  And he will show you a large upstairs room having been furnished and ready. And there prepare for us."

14:16  And the talmidim went out and they came into the city and found things just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them, and they made preparations for Pesach.

14:17  And erev having come, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach arrives with the Shneym Asar. THE NAMING OF THE BETRAYER (MT 26:21-25; MK 14:18-21; LK 22:21-23; JO 13:21-30)

14:18  And while they were at tish in a yechidus, reclining and eating, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "Omein, I say to you, that one of you will betray me, OKHEL LACHEMI ("the one eating my bread" Tehillim 41:10 (9). THE TIME OF CHESHBON HANEFESH OF THE SHLUCHIM AND THE BEDIKAS CHOMETZ OF DENIAL AND BETRAYAL

14:19  They began to have agmat nefesh, and, one by one, to say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, "Sure I am not the one?"

14:20  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "It is one of the Shneym Asar, the one dipping with me into the bowl [SHEMOT 12:8].

14:21  "For the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14] goes just as it has been written concerning him [Yeshayah 53:3; Daniel 9:26; Zecharyah 12:10; Tehillim 41:10 (9)], but woe to that man through whom the Ben HaAdam is betrayed. [It would have been] better for him if that man had not been born." REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S FINAL HAMOTZI AND BERAKHAH AT HIS SEUDAH (MT 26:26-29; MK 14:22-25; LK 22:17-20)

14:22  And at the Seudah, while they were eating, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having taken the matzah, having made the ha-Motzi, he offered the betzi'at halechem (breaking of the bread) and gave to them, and said, "Take and eat, this is my BASAR. [SHEMOT 12:8]" THE FINAL KIDDUSH IN ZACHOR (REMEMBRANCE) OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH WHOSE TZAVVAAH (LAST WILL) IS THE BRIT CHADASHA KAPPARAH FOR OUR SELICHA (FORGIVENESS) AND DEVEKUS (COMMUNION WITH G-D)

14:23  And having taken the Kiddush Cup (Kos) [and] having made the berakhah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the Kiddush Cup to them, and everyone drank of it.

14:24  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "HINEI DAHM HABRIT (SHEMOT 24:8), the dahm of me (Moshiach), which is being poured out lama'an RABBIM (for the sake of "MANY" Yeshayah 53:11).

14:25  "Omein, I say to you, that no longer will I by any means drink of the p'ri hagefen (fruit of the vine) until Yom HaHu when I drink it chadash (new) in the Malchut Hashem."

14:26  And having sung the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TALMIDIM TOLD THAT THEY WILL BE SCATTERED (MT 26:31-35; MK 14:27-31; LK 22:31-38); KEFA ASSERTS THAT EVEN IF ALL BECOME SHMAD DESERTERS, NEVERTHELESS HE WILL STAND FIRM; THE HAKHCHASHAH FORETOLD

14:27  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, "All of you will fall away, for it has been written, "I will strike down ES HARO'EH UTEFUTEN HATZON ("the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered"). [Zecharyah 13:7]

14:28  "But after I am made to stand up alive (Moshiach's Techiyas HaMesim), I will go before you into the Galil."

14:29  But Shimon Kefa said to him, "Even if everyone will fall away, yet I will not."

14:30  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "Omein, I say to you, that you today, balailah hazeh (during this night) before the tarnegol crows twice, you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me shalosh pa'amim (three times).

14:31  But Kefa kept saying with vehemence, "If it is neccessary for me to die for you al kiddush ha-Shem, by no means will I make hakhchashah (denial) of you." And likewise also everyone declared. THE FINAL TEMPTATION OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH; THE ADAM HECHADASH IN THE GAN HANISYONOS (GARDEN OF TEMPTATION) GAINS THE ESCHATOLOGICAL MESSIANIC TITZACHON (VICTORY) (BERESHIS 3:1-6; MT 26:36-40; MK 14:32-42; LK 22:39-46; JO 18:1)

14:32  And they come to a place of which the name [was] Gat-Sh'manim and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to his talmidim, "Sit down here while I daven."

14:33  And he takes Kefa and Ya'akov and Yochanan with him and he began to be distressed and to be troubled.

14:34  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, "My agmat nefesh is great, even to the point of mavet. Remain here and stay awake and shomer."

14:35  And having gone forth a little, he was falling on the ground and was davening tefillos that, if it is possible, this sha'ah might pass from him."

14:36  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, "Abba, Avi, all things [are] possible for you. Take away this KOS [YESHAYAH 51:17] from me. But not what I will, but what you [will]."

14:37  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes and finds them sleeping, and he says to Shimon Kefa, "Are you sleeping? Were you not chozek to stay awake one hour?

14:38  "Stay shomer and daven that you may not enter lidey nisayon. Indeed the ruach [is] ready but the basar [is] weak."

14:39  And again Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went away and davened the same dvarim as before.[14:36]

14:40  And once again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were falling shut, and they did not have da'as of what they might answer him.

14:41  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes the shlishit (third) time and says to them, "Sleep [for] the remainder and take your rest. It is enough. The sha'ah has come. Hinei, the Ben HaAdam is betrayed in the hands of chote'im.

14:42  "Get up, let us go. Behold the one betraying me has drawn near." THE HANDING OVER OF THE SEH HAELOHIM, REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH, THE PESACH KORBAN (MT 26:47-56; MK 14:43-52; LK 22:47-53; JO 18:2-12; YESHAYAH 53:7)

14:43  And, ofen ort (immediately), bishas maise (at the same time) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is speaking, Yehudah arrives, one of the Shneym Asar, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs with Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) and the Sofrim (Scribes) and the Zekenim.

14:44  Now the one betraying Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had given a signal to them, saying, "Whomever I may give the neshikah (kiss), he is [the one], seize him, and lead [him] away under guard."

14:45  And when he came, he ofen ort (immediately) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and says, "Rebbe," and he gave him the neshikah."

14:46  And they laid their hands on him and arrested him.

14:47  But one of those standing by drew his cherev and struck the servant of the Kohen Gadol and cut off his ear.

14:48  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered and said to them, "Do you come out swords and clubs as against a ganav to arrest me?

14:49  "Every day I was with you in the Beis HaMikdash teaching Torah and you did not arrest me; but let the Kitvei Hakodesh be fulfilled." [Yeshayah 53:7-12]

14:50  And, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, everyone fled.

14:51  And a certain bochur was following along with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and the bochur was wearing nothing but a linen garment around his naked body, and they seized the bochur.

14:52  But the bochur ran away naked, leaving the linen garment behind. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN, THE BEGINNING OF HIS TZA'AR (PAIN AND SUFFERING): CONDEMNED ON THE BASIS OF PERJURED EDUT (MT 26:57-68; MK 14:53-65; LK 22:54, 63-65; JO 18:24)

14:53  And they led away Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Kohen Gadol and all the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) and the Zekenim and the Sofrim (Scribes) were assembled.

14:54  And Shimon Kefa from a distance followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach right into the courtyard of the Kohen Gadol. And Kefa was sitting together with the servants and warming himself near the ohr of the aish.

14:55  And the Rashei Hakohanim (the Chief Priests) and [the] entire Sanhedrin were seeking edut (testimony) against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in order to bring the onesh mavet, and they were not finding any.

14:56  For many gave edut sheker against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and the eduyot (testimonies) were not in agreement.

14:57  And some, taking the stand, were giving edut sheker against him, saying,

14:58  "We heard him saying, `I will bring churban to this Beis Hamikdash made with human hands, and, after shalosha yamim, another, not made with hands, I will build."

14:59  So their eduyot was not identical.

14:60  And having stood up in their midst, the Kohen Gadol questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, "Do you not answer anything to what these bear solemn edut (testimony) against you?"

14:61  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was silent and did not answer anything. [Yeshayah 53:7-8] Again the Kohen Gadol was questioning him and says to him, "Are you the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, HaBen Hamevorakh?"

14:62  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "Ani hu, and you will see the BEN HAADAM [Daniel 7:13-14] YOSHEV LIMIN HaGevurah [Tehilllim 110:1] UVA IM ANENEI HASHOMAYIM" ("the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven").

14:63  And the Kohen Gadol, making the keriah (ritual tearing) of his tunic, says, "What further need do we have of edim? [Vayikra 10:6; 21:10; 24:16; Bamidbar 14:6]

14:64  "You heard him commit Chillul Hashem gidduf (blasphemy). How does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to be deserving of mishpat mavet. [Vayikra 24:16]

14:65  And some began to spit on Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and to cover his face and to strike him and to say to him, "Let's hear a dvar nevu'ah!" And the shomrim took custody of him by slapping Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. KEFA MAKES HAKHCHASHAH (DENIAL) OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH (MT 26:58,69-75; 14:54,66-72; LK 22:54-62; JO 18:15-18,25-27)

14:66  And Shimon Kefa being below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the Kohen Gadol comes by.

14:67  And having seen Kefa warming himself, having looked him over, she says, "You also were with the one from Natzeret, Yehoshua!"

14:68  But he denied [it], saying, "I do not have da'as nor binah of what you are saying." And he walked away and went outside into the entryway and a tarnegol crowed.

14:69  And the maid, having seen him, began again to say to the ones having stood by, "This one is one of them!"

14:70  But again he made hakhchashah (denial). And after a little [while] again the ones having stood by were saying to Kefa, "You are one of them, for indeed you are a Gelili" (inhabitant of the Galil).

14:71  And Kefa began to speak a kelala and to swear, "I do not have da'as of this man--I don't know the one of whom you speak!"

14:72  And ofen ort (immediately), for a second time, a tarnegol crowed. And then Kefa remembered the dvar that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had spoken to him, "Before a tarnegol crows twice, shalosh pe'amim (three times) you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me." (Markos 14:30). And having broken down, Kefa was weeping.
