46 And G1161 they laid G1911 their G846 hands G5495 on G1909 him, G846 and G2532 took G2902 him. G846
47 And G1161 one G5100 of them G1520 that stood by G3936 drew G4685 a sword, G3162 and smote G3817 a servant G1401 of the high priest, G749 and G2532 cut off G851 his G846 ear. G5621
48 And G2532 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them, G846 Are ye come out, G1831 as G5613 against G1909 a thief, G3027 with G3326 swords G3162 and G2532 with staves G3586 to take G4815 me? G3165
49 I was G2252 daily G2250 G2596 with G4314 you G5209 in G1722 the temple G2411 teaching, G1321 and G2532 ye took G2902 me G3165 not: G3756 but G235 the scriptures G1124 must G2443 be fulfilled. G4137
50 And G2532 they all G3956 forsook G863 him, G846 and fled. G5343
51 And G2532 there followed G190 him G846 a G1520 certain G5100 young man, G3495 having a linen cloth G4616 cast G4016 about G1909 his naked G1131 body; and G2532 the young men G3495 laid hold G2902 on him: G846
52 And G1161 he left G2641 the linen cloth, G4616 and fled G5343 from G575 them G846 naked. G1131
53 And G2532 they led G520 Jesus G2424 away G520 to G4314 the high priest: G749 and G2532 with him G846 were assembled G4905 all G3956 the chief priests G749 and G2532 the elders G4245 and G2532 the scribes. G1122

Commentary on Mark 14 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 14
In this chapter begins the account which this evangelist gives of the death and sufferings of our Lord Jesus, which we are all concerned to be acquainted, not only with the history of, but with the mystery of. Here is,
Most of which passages we had before, Mt. 26.
Mar 14:1-11
We have here instances,
Now,
Now see,
Mar 14:12-31
In these verses we have,
Now, in answer to their enquiry, Christ saith that,
But Christ encourages them with a promise that they shall rally again, shall return both to their duty and to their comfort (v. 28); "After I am risen, I will gather you in from all the places wither you are scattered, Eze. 34:12. I will go before you into Galilee, will see our friends, and enjoy one another there.'
Mar 14:32-42
Christ is here entering upon his sufferings, and begins with those which were the sorest of all his sufferings, those in his soul. Here we have him in his agony; this melancholy story we had in Matthew; this agony in soul was the wormwood and the gall in the affliction and misery; and thereby it appeared that no sorrow was forced upon him, but that it was what he freely admitted.
Now the consideration of Christ's sufferings in his soul, and his sorrows for us, should be of use to us,
As those whom Christ loves he rebukes when they do amiss, so those whom he rebukes he counsels and comforts.
Mar 14:43-52
We have here the seizing of our Lord Jesus by the officers of the chief priests. This was what his enemies had long aimed at, they had often sent to take him; but he had escaped out of their hands, because his hour was not come, nor could they now have taken him, had he not freely surrendered himself. He began first to suffer in his soul, but afterward suffered in his body, that he might satisfy for sin, which begins in the heart, but afterwards makes the members of the body instruments of unrighteousness.
Mar 14:53-65
We have here Christ's arraignment, trial, conviction, and condemnation, in the ecclesiastical court, before the great sanhedrim, of which the high priest was president, or judge of the court; the same Caiaphas that had lately adjudged it expedient he should be put to death, guilty or not guilty (Jn. 11:50), and who therefore might justly be excepted against as partial.
Mar 14:66-72
We have here the story of Peter's denying Christ.
