Mark 14:41-43
New English Translation
41 He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting?[a] Enough of that![b] The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer[c] is approaching!”
Betrayal and Arrest
43 Right away, while Jesus[d] was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived.[e] With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law[f] and elders.

- Mark 14:41 tn Or “Sleep on, and get your rest.” This sentence can be taken either as a question or a sarcastic command.
- Mark 14:41 tc Codex D (with some support with minor variation from W Θ ƒ13 565 2542 it) reads, “Enough of that! It is the end and the hour has come.” Evidently, this addition highlights Jesus’ assertion that what he had predicted about his own death was now coming true (cf. Luke 22:37). Even though the addition highlights the accuracy of Jesus’ prediction, it should not be regarded as part of the text of Mark, since it receives little support from the rest of the witnesses and because D especially is prone to expand the wording of a text.
- Mark 14:42 tn Grk “the one who betrays me.”
- Mark 14:43 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Mark 14:43 tn Or “approached.” This is a different verb than the one translated “arrived” in Matt 26:47 and below in v. 45, although in this context the meanings probably overlap.
- Mark 14:43 tn Or “from the chief priests, scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
