New Testament

Mark 14:47-56 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

47. Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48. And in response, Jesus said to them: "Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?

49. Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled."

50. Then his disciples, leaving him behind, all fled away.

51. Now a certain young man followed him, having nothing but a fine linen cloth over himself. And they took hold of him.

52. But he, rejecting the fine linen cloth, escaped from them naked.

53. And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the elders came together.

54. But Peter followed him from a distance, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.

55. Yet truly, the leaders of the priests and the entire council sought testimony against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death, and they found none.

56. For many spoke false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree.
