Markus 14:54

14:54 And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest’s courtyard. He ¹  was sitting with the guards ²  and warming himself by the fire.

Markus 14:61

14:61 But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, ³  “Are you the Christ, ⁴  the Son of the Blessed One?”

[14:54]  ¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:54]  ² sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.

[14:61]  ³ tn Grk “questioned him and said to him.”

[14:61]  ⁴ tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[14:61]  sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.
