Mark 14:53-72

Listen to Mark 14:53-72

Jesus Before the Council

53 1And 2they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
54 3And 4Peter had followed him at a distance, 5right into 6the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with 7the guards and 8warming himself at the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council[a] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.
56 9For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony 10did not agree.
57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
58 11“We heard him say, 12‘I will destroy this temple 13that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, 14not made with hands. ’”
59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you? ” [b]
61 But 15he remained silent and made no answer. 16Again the high priest asked him, “Are you 17the Christ, the Son of 18the Blessed? ”
62 And Jesus said, “I am, and 19you will see the Son of Man 20seated at the right hand of Power, and 21coming with the clouds of heaven. ”
63 And the high priest 22tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need?
64 You have heard 23his blasphemy. What is your decision? ” And they 24all condemned him as 25deserving death.
65 26And some began 27to spit on him and 28to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy! ” And the guards received him 29with blows.

Peter Denies Jesus

66 30And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
67 and seeing Peter 31warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus. ”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean. ” And he went out into the gateway[c] and 32the rooster crowed. [d]
69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them. ”
70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean. ”
71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak. ”
72 And immediately the rooster crowed 33a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, 34“Before the rooster crows twice, you will 35deny me three times. ”And he broke down and wept. [e]

Trials and Tribulations, Part 3
Trials and Tribulations, Part 3
Jeff Johnson

Peter is one of the most relatable characters in the New Testament. He was very much like you and I. Peter looked Christ in the eye and said he would never betray him. But as we will see today, that wasn’t case. In the midst of a tribulation he allowed his flesh to take over and he did the very thing he swore he would never do. Pastor Jeff is continuing in Mark chapter 14, in the conclusion to the message titled, “Trials and Tribulation”    

Trials and Tribulations
Trials and Tribulations
Jeff Johnson

Pastor Jeff is in the Gospel of Mark chapter 14. We are at the point of Christ’s arrest and a shame court hearing.  Pastor Jeff is teaching that, Christ already had for warned His disciples that hard times were coming. He knew the events that would transpire and was in control of it. This would be the hardest trial of the disciple’s lives thus far. Pastor Jeff will show us that we can learn a lot from the way they handled His hardships. This is the new series, “Trials and Tribulation”
