Mark's ironic timing places the religious leaders' murderous plot precisely two days before Passover, when Jews commemorate God's deliverance from death through sacrificial blood.
Mark 14
The Plot to Kill Jesus
1It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
2For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”
The Anointing at Bethany
3While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
4But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
5For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
6But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
7For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
9Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
10Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
The Preparation for Passover
12On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”
13He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him,
14and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
15He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
16His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
The Prediction of Betrayal
17When it was evening he came with the twelve.
18As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”
19They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
20He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
21For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
The Institution of the Lord's Supper
22As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”
23He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
24He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
25Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
The Prediction of Peter's Denial
26When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
30Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
31But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
Gethsemane
32They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
37He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
38Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
40Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.
41He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
The Arrest of Jesus
43Immediately, 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.
44Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46They laid their hands on him and seized him.
47But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50They all left him, and fled.
51A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
53They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
54Peter had followed him from a distance, 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.
55Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57Some 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.’”
59Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
60The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
61But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62Jesus 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.”
63The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
65Some 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.
Peter's Denial
66As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
67and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
68But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
70But 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.”
71But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”
72The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

Theme
Mark 14 chronicles the final events leading to Jesus' crucifixion, beginning with religious leaders plotting his death and culminating in his arrest and trial. The chapter contrasts acts of devotion (the woman's anointing) and betrayal (Judas' agreement with authorities), while Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper and predicts his disciples' failures. Despite Jesus' anguished prayer in Gethsemane and his submission to God's will, his closest followers abandon him as he faces false accusations before the Sanhedrin.
Context
This chapter transitions from Jesus' public ministry and teaching in Jerusalem to his passion, setting up the crucifixion narrative that dominates Mark 15.

The Anointing at Bethany
14:3–14:9 narrative narration tender
A woman anoints Jesus with expensive perfume at Simon the leper's house in Bethany, which Jesus interprets as preparation for his burial and declares will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached.
person_contrast
Jesus, who typically speaks of divine authority and judgment, here uniquely accepts an act of extravagant devotion as preparation for his death, reversing his usual role from judge to sacrificial victim.
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
14:10–14:11 narrative narration solemn
Judas Iscariot goes to the chief priests and agrees to betray Jesus to them in exchange for money, seeking an opportune time to hand him over.

The Preparation for Passover
14:12–14:16 narrative narration contemplative
Jesus instructs his disciples to prepare for the Passover meal, demonstrating his foreknowledge and divine authority through specific prophetic instructions.
person_contrast
Jesus's detailed prophetic instructions about finding a man carrying water—an unusual task for men in first-century Palestine—subtly demonstrates his divine omniscience while orchestrating his final Passover.
The Prediction of Betrayal
14:17–14:21 narrative dialogue mournful
Jesus predicts that one of the twelve disciples will betray him, causing sorrow among the disciples as they question their own loyalty.
person_contrast
Jesus transforms from authoritative teacher to grieving prophet, marking one of only three passages where he expresses personal sorrow while delivering divine revelation.
The Institution of the Lord's Supper
14:22–14:25 narrative narration solemn
Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, establishing the bread and wine as symbols of his body and blood of the new covenant.
person_contrast
Jesus transforms from the authoritative teacher who pronounces judgment throughout Mark into a vulnerable host offering his own body and blood for consumption.
The Prediction of Peter's Denial
14:26–14:31 narrative dialogue warning
Jesus predicts that all disciples will abandon him and specifically foretells Peter's three denials, despite Peter's protests of loyalty.
quotation_chain
Jesus transforms Zechariah's prophecy about striking the shepherd into a promise of resurrection reunion, making Peter's denial paradoxically part of God's redemptive plan.
Gethsemane
14:32–14:42 narrative prayer anguished
Jesus prays in agony at Gethsemane, asking for deliverance while submitting to God's will, as his disciples fail to stay awake and watch with him.
person_contrast

The Arrest of Jesus
14:43–14:52 gospel narration urgent
Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss, leading to his arrest by armed men sent by religious authorities. All disciples flee, fulfilling Scripture as Jesus predicted.
person_contrast

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
14:53–14:65 gospel dialogue solemn
Jesus appears before the Sanhedrin where he declares himself the Christ and Son of God. The religious leaders condemn him for blasphemy and subject him to mockery and violence.
person_contrast
Jesus transforms from judge to judged when he affirms his messianic identity, yet paradoxically claims the very authority his accusers seek to strip away.
Peter's Denial
14:66–14:72 gospel narration anguished
Peter denies knowing Jesus three times as predicted, culminating when the rooster crows. Upon remembering Jesus' prophecy, Peter weeps bitterly over his failure.
