[Note: The Hebrew understanding is that the twelve must (1) Be WITH him, (ωϲι μετ αυτου), implying an apprenticeship that involves ongoing physical proximity / attendance to the master. In the Hebrew tradition of Shimush Chakhamim (serving the wise), this apprenticeship is not a momentary interaction: it involves close, ongoing access to the teacher’s life and practice — sometimes described as “living with and observing” the mentor in varied circumstances. These apostolos are then also (2) sent to proclaim (κηρυϲϲει) his words / teachings, for as his appointed agents, they have been duly authorized to deliver the Master’s message by the Master himself.]

There is nothing outside of the human going-into him which is able to make-common (contaminate) him; but the things going-out of the human are the things making-common (contaminating) the human.'

19. οτι ουκ ειϲπορευετε αυτου ειϲ την καρδιαν αλλ ειϲ την κοιλιαν και ειϲ τον αφεδρωνα εκβαλλετε καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα·	19. Because it does not go-into his heart, but into the belly, and is cast-out into the latrine?' [the following ending to this verse was never part of this discourse spoken by Yeshua. It is a later editorial addition possibly by Mark or another.] — cleansing all the foods.
20. ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανου εκπορευομενον εκινο κοινοι τον ανο	20. And he was saying that, 'The [thing] going-out of the human, that makes-common (contaminates) the human.

And having-stood-up from-there, he went-away into the boundaries of Tsor [Tyre] and Tsidon [Sidon]. And having-gone-into [a] house, he willed no one to know, and [thus] he was not able to speak [publically].
25. αλλα ευθυϲ ακουϲαϲα γυνη περι αυτου· ηϲ ειχεν το θυγατριον πνα ακαθαρτον ειϲελθουϲα προϲεπεϲεν προϲ τουϲ ποδαϲ αυτου	25. But immediately [a] woman having-heard concerning him, whose little-daughter had [an] unclean breath-spirit, having-gone-into [the house], fell-toward his feet.

28. η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω ναι κε και τα κυναρια εϲθιουϲιν αποτ̣ατω τηϲ τραπεζηϲ απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων	28. But she answered and says to him, 'Yes, Master, [yet] even the little-dogs eat from-under the table from the crumbs of the little-children.'
29. και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογο ϋπαγε εξεληλυθε εκ τηϲ θυγατροϲ ϲου το δεμονιον·	29. And he said to her, 'Because-of this word [of yours], withdraw; the little daemon has gone-out out of your daughter.'
30. και απελθουϲα ειϲ τον οικον εαυτηϲ ευρεν το παιδιο βεβλημενον επι την κλινην και το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθοϲ	30. And having-gone-away into her house, she found the little-child having-been-thrown [lying] upon the bed, and the little daemon having-gone-out.

33. και απολαβομενοϲ αυτον κατ ϊδιαν απο του οχλου ελαβεν τουϲ δακτυλουϲ ειϲ τα ωτα αυτου και πτυϲαϲ ηψατο τηϲ γλωϲϲηϲ αυτου	33. And having-taken him away privately from the crowd, he took his fingers into his ears, and having-spit, he touched his tongue.
34. και αναβλεψαϲ ειϲ τον ουνον εϲτεναξεν και λεγει αυτω εφφαθα ο εϲτιν διανυχθητι	34. And having-looked-up into the heaven, he groaned and says to him, 'Ephphatha', which is: 'Be opened-through.'

14. οταν δε ϊδητε το βδελυγμα τηϲ ερημωϲεωϲ εϲτηκοτα οπου ου δι· ο αναγινωϲκων νοειτω: τοτε οι εν τη ϊουδαια φευγετωϲαν ειϲ τα ορη·	14. But whenever you might see the detestible-filthy-thing of the desolation standing where it is not binding (by covenant-law) — let the [one] reading perceive — then let the [ones] in Yehudah [Judea] flee into the mountains.
15. ο δε επι του δωματοϲ μη καταβατω μηδε ειϲελθατω αραι τι εκ τηϲ οικιαϲ αυτου·	15. But the [one] upon the housetop, let him not come-down nor let him go-into his house to lift anything out.

21. και τοτε εαν τιϲ ϋμι ειπη ειδε ωδε ο χϲ ειδε εκει μη πιρμθϛϲτευετε	21. And then if anyone might say to you, "Look, here [is] the Anointed One [Hebrew: Mashiach]; Look, there;" do not trust.
22. εγερθηϲοται δε ψευδοχριϲτοι και ψευδοπροφητε και δωϲουϲιν ϲημια και τερατα προϲ το αποπλανα ει δυνατον τουϲ εκλεκτουϲ	22. But false-anointed-[ones] and false-spokesmen will be raised, and they will give signs and terrors in-order-to-lead-astray, if possible, the chosen-out-ones.

25. και οι αϲτερεϲ εϲονται εκ του ουρανου πιπτοντεϲ και αι δυναμειϲ αι εν τοιϲ ουνοιϲ ϲαρναβλευθηϲονται·	25. And the stars will be falling out of the heaven, and the forces — the [ones] in the heavens — will-be-shaken.
26. και τοτε οψονται τον υν του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν νεφελαιϲ μετα δυναμεωϲ πολληϲ και δοξηϲ	26. And then they will see the Son of the Human coming in clouds with much power and glory / radiance.
27. και τοτε αποϲτελλι τουϲ αγγελουϲ αυτου και επιϲυναξει τουϲ εκλεκτουϲ αυτου εκ τω τεϲϲαρων ανεμω απ ακρου γηϲ εωϲ ακρου ουρανου·	27. And then he will send-off his messengers and will gather-together his chosen-out ones out [from] the four winds, from the-ends of [the] earth to the-ends of heaven.
28. απο δε τηϲ ϲυκηϲ μαθετε την παραβολην οταν ηδη ο κλαδοϲ αυτηϲ απαλοϲ γενηται κ(αι) εκφυη τα φυλλα γινωϲκετε οτι εγγυϲ το θεροϲ εϲτι·	28. But from the fig-tree learn the comparison (Hebrew: mashal; Grk: parabolē): Whenever already its branch might become tender and the leaves might grow-out, you know that summer is near.
29. ουτωϲ και ϋμιϲ οταν ϊδητε ταυτα γινομενα γινωϲκετε οτι εγγυϲ εϲτιν επι θυραιϲ·	29. Thus also you, whenever you might see these things coming-to-be, know that he is near upon [the] doors.
30. αμην λεγω ϋμιν οτι ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη μεχρι ταυτα παντα γενηται·	30. Amen (solemnly / truly) I say to you that this generation will not pass-by until all these things might-happen.
31. ο ουρανοϲ και η γη παρελευϲονται· οι δε λογοι μου ου μη παρελευϲονται	31. The heaven and the earth will pass-by; but my words, no. [They] will not pass-by.
32. περι δε τηϲ ημεραϲ εκεινηϲ και τηϲ ωραϲ ουδειϲ οιδεν ουδε οι αγγελοι ε ουρανω ουδε ο υϲ ει μη ο πατηρ:	32. But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, neither the messengers in heaven nor the son, except the father.

Because indeed the Son of the Human withdraws just-as it has been written concerning him; but woe to that person through whom the Son of the Human is given-over; it was good for him if that peson had not been born.'
22. και εϲθιοντων αυτω λαβων ο ιϲ αρτον εκλαϲεν ευλογηϲαϲ και εδωκεν αυτοιϲ και ειπεν λαβετε τουτο εϲτιν το ϲωρξϛβμα μου·	22. And [upon] their eating, Yeshua having-taken bread, having-blessed [it], broke [it] and gave to them and said, 'Take-you; this is my body.'

And he said to them, 'This is my blood of the binding agreement (Hebrew: berit; Greek diathēkē meaning set arrangement or covenant) — the [blood] being-poured-out on-behalf-of / over many. [Note: Greek διαθήκη (diathēkē) corresponds to Hebrew בְּרִית (berit), a binding agreement often described in Hebrew as something one “cuts” (karat berit). Two major berit patterns illuminate this line:(1) Abrahamic (Gen 15): animals are cut and laid out, and the covenant is portrayed as God’s presence passing between the pieces, underscoring God’s unilateral commitment. (2) Mosaic/Sinai (Exod 24): the covenant is ratified with explicit “blood of the covenant” language and is followed by a covenant-confirming meal. Mark’s phrase “my blood of the diathēkē … being poured out on-behalf-of / over many” uses covenant-blood language to present Yeshua’s death as the covenant-ratifying act.]
25. αμην λεγω ϋμιν οτι ου μη πιω εκ του γενηματοϲ τηϲ αμπελου· εωϲ τηϲ ημεραϲ εκεινηϲ οταν αυτο πινω καινον εν τη βαϲιλεια του θυ ˙	25. Amen (solemnly / truly) I say to you that I will not drink out of the offspring of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingship of God.'

27. και λεγει αυτοιϲ ο ιϲ οτι παντεϲ ϲκαδαλιϲθηϲεϲθαι· οτι γεγραπται παρξθϛταξω τον ποιμενα και τα προβατα διαϲκορπιϲθηϲονται·	27. And Yeshua says to them that, 'All [of you] will be trapped [stumbled]; because it has been written, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered-through."
28. αλλα μετα το εγερθηναι με προαξω ϋμαϲ ειϲ τη γαλιλαιαν:	28. But after my being-raised, I will lead-before you into Galil.'
29. ο δε πετροϲ εφη αυτω ˙ ει και παντεϲ ϲκαδαλιϲθηϲονται· αλλ ουκ εγω	29. But Petros said to him, 'If even all will be trapped [stumbled], yet not I.'
30. και λεγει αυτω ο ιϲ αμην λεγω ϲοι οτι ϲημερον ταυτη τη νυκτι πριν αλεκτορα φωνηϲαι· τριϲ με απαρροαϛνηϲει·	30. And Yeshua says to him, 'Amen (solemnly / truly) I say to you that today in this night, before [a] rooster [crows], you will deny me three-times.'
31. ο δε εκπεριϲϲωϲ ελαλει· εαν με η ϲυναποθανιν ϲοι ου μη ϲε απαρνηϲωμε ομοιωϲ δε και παροβατεϲ ελεγον·	31. But he was speaking abundantly, 'If it might be [necessary] [for] me to die-together with you, I will not deny you.' And likewise also all were saying.

And they come into [a] place of which the name [is] Gethsemane; and he says to his disciples, 'Sit here while I might Palil.' [Hebrew: to present oneself before the Ultimate Judge to argue a case, seek a ruling, or intervene in a physical situation.]
33. και παραλαμβανει πετρο και ιακωβον και ϊωαννην μετ αυτου και ηρξατο εκθαμβειϲθαι και αδημονιν	33. And he takes-along Petros and Ya'aqov and Yochanan with him, and began to be greatly-amazed and to be-in-anxiety.
34. και λεγει αυτοιϲ περιλυποϲ εϲτιν η ψυχη μου· εωϲ θανατου μινατε ωδε και γρηγορειτε ˙	34. And he says to them, 'My self-life (soul) is very-grieved until death; remain here and watch.'
35. και προελθων μικρον επιπτεν επι τηϲ γηϲ· και προϲηυχετο ει δυνατο παρελθιν απ αυτου η ωρα·	35. And having-come-forward [a] little, he was falling upon the earth; and was wrestling-in-Palil, asking if [it is] possible the hour to pass-by from him.

37. και ερχεται και ευριϲκει αυτουϲ καθευδονταϲ· και λεγει τω πετρω ϲιμων καθευδιϲ· ουκ ϊϲχυϲαϲ μιαν ωραν γρηγορηϲαι	37. And he comes and finds them sleeping; and says to Petros, 'Shimon, do you sleep? Were you not strong-enough to watch one hour?
38. γρηγορειτε και προϲευχεϲθαι ϊνα μη ελθηται ειϲ πιραροηδϲμον· το μεν πνα προθυμον η δε ϲαρξ αϲθενηϲ·	38. Watch and wrestle-in-Palil-you in-order-that you might not come into testing; the breath-life (spirit) [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.'
39. και παροθϛλιν απελθων προϲηυξατο τον αυτο λογον ειπων·	39. And again having-gone-away, he-wrestled-in-Palil saying the same word.
40. και παλιν ελθων ευρεν αυτουϲ καθευδονταϲ· ηϲαν γαρ αυτων οι οφθαλμοι καταβεβαρημενοι και ουκ ηδιϲαν τι αποκριθωϲιν αυτω·	40. And again having-come he found them sleeping; for their eyes were being-weighed-down, and they did not know what they might answer him.
41. και ερχεται το τριτον και λεγει αυτοιϲ καθευδετε το λοιπον και αναπαυεϲθε· απεχει· ηλθε η ωρα ˙ ϊδου παραδιδοται ο υϲ του ανθρωπου ειϲ ταϲ χιραϲ των αμαρτωλω·	41. And he comes the third [time] and says to them, 'Sleep the remaining [time] and rest; it holds-off (it is enough); the hour came; look, the Son of the Human is given-over into the hands of the mistake-makers.'
42. εγειρεϲθε αγωμε· ϊδου ο παραδιδουϲ με ηγγιϲεν:	42. Raise up, let us lead (go); look, the [one] giving me over has drawn-near.'
43. και ευθυϲ ετι αυτου λαλουντοϲ παραγεινεται ϊουδαϲ ειϲ των δωδεκα· και μετ αυτου οχλοϲ μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων παρα των αρχϊερεων και των γραμματεων και πρεϲβυρπββτερων:	43. And immediately, still [while] he is speaking, Yehudah [Judas], one of the twelve, arrives; and with him [a] crowd with swords and clubs from the high-priests and the writer-scholars and older-[ones] (presbyterōn).
44. δεδωκει δε ο παραδιδουϲ αυτον ϲυνϲημον αυτοιϲ λεγων· ον αν φιληϲω αυτοϲ εϲτιν κρατηϲατε αυτον και απαγετε αϲφαλωϲ	44. Now the [one] giving him over had given [a] sign-together to them, saying, 'Whom ever I might be-fond-of (kiss), he is [he]; grasp-firmly him and [him] lead-away securely.'
45. και ελθων ευθυϲ και προϲελθων αυτω λεγει ραββει· και κατεφιληϲεν αυτον	45. And having-come immediately and having-come-to him, he says, 'Rabbi;' and he kissed-down [fervently kissed] him.
46. οι δε επεβαλαν ταϲ χιραϲ αυτων και εκρατηϲαν αυρπγατον:	46. And they threw-their hands-upon [him] and grasped-him-firmly.
47. ειϲ δε των παρεϲτηκοτων ϲπαϲαμενοϲ τη μαχαιραν και επεϲεν τον δουλο του αρχϊερεωϲ και αφιλεν αυτου το ωταριον	47. But one of the [ones] standing-beside, having-drawn the sword, fell [upon] the slave of the high-priest and took-off his ear-lobe.
48. και αποκριθειϲ ο ιϲ ειπεν αυτοιϲ ωϲ επι ληϲτην εξηλθαται μετα μαχαιρων και ξυλων ϲυλλαβιν με·	48. And answering, Yeshua said to them, 'Did you go-out as upon [a] robber, with swords and clubs, to arrest me?
49. καθ ημεραν ημην προϲ υμαϲ εν τω ϊερω διδαϲκων και ουκ εκρατηϲαται με· αλλ ινα πληρωθωϲιν αι γραφαι ˙	49. Day-by-day I was toward you in the temple teaching, and you did not sieze me; but in-order-that the writings might be fulfilled.'
50. και αφεντεϲ αυτον εφυγον παντεϲ	50. And having-left him, they [his disciples] all fled.
51. και νεανιϲκοϲ τιϲ. ϲυνηκολουθει αυτω περιβεβλημενοϲ ϲινδονα επι γυμνου· και κρατουϲιν αυτον:	51. And a certain young-man was following-together-with him, having-been-thrown-around [with] a linen-cloth upon naked [skin]; and they grasp-firmly him. [Note: A Sadin was not a standard daily garment like a tunic (Chiton). It was a rectangular sheet of high-quality, fine linen. The fact that it was "around-cast" (peri-ballō) suggests a sudden, physical movement. This young man did not "dress"; he grabbed the closest piece of fabric and threw it over his bare body. He was likely physically asleep in a nearby house or estate (perhaps the property owner's son) and was physically startled by the noise of the "crowd" with their "swords abd clubs." He ran out to see what was happening with nothing but his bedsheet.]
52. ο δε καταλιπων τη ϲινδονα γυμνοϲ εφυγεν·	52. But he, having-left-behind the linen-cloth, fled naked.
53. και απηγαγον τον ιν προϲ τον αρχϊερεα· και ϲυνερχονται πατεϲ οι αρχϊεριϲ και οι πρεϲβυτεροι κ(αι) οι γραμματειϲ ˙	53. And they led-away Yeshua toward the high-priest; and all the high-priests and the older-[ones] (presbyterōn) and the writer-scholars come-together.
54. και ο πετροϲ απο μακροθεν ηκολου227θηϲεν αυτω εωϲ εϲω ειϲ την αυλη του αρχιερεωϲ και ην ϲυνκαθημενοϲ μετα των ϋπηρετων και θερμαινομενοϲ προϲ το φωϲ ˙	54. And Petros followed him from afar until inside into the courtyard of the high-priest; and he was sitting-together-with the officers and warming-himself toward the fire.
55. οι δε αρχϊερειϲ και > ολον το ϲυνεδριον εζητουν κατα του ιυ μαρτυριαν ειϲ το θανατωϲαι αυτον· και ουχ ευριϲκον·	55. But the high-priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Yeshua, to put him to death; and they were not finding [it].
56. πολλοι γαρ εψευδομαρτυρου κατ αυτου και ϊϲαι αι μαρτυριαι ουκʼ ηϲαν ˙	56. For many were false-witnessing against him, and the testimonies were not equal.
57. και τινεϲ αναϲτατεϲ εψευδομαρτυρουν κατ αυτου λεγοντεϲ·	57. And some having-stood-up were false-witnessing against him, saying,
