 <DIV>I'm
 writing a paper on Mark 14:12-26 for a seminar here, and I'm having a tougher
 time than usual.  The purpose of the paper is to examine the passage for
 signs of ritual.  </DIV>
 <DIV> </DIV>
 <DIV>I've
 made a kind of working personal translation.  Of course every translation
 involves choices, and I just wanted to make mine explicit for myself. 
 One choice was to largely ignore good idiomatic smooth English in order to
 stay closer to the underlying Greek grammar.  This doesn't make for a
 very good "translation" but it's helping me keep in mind (for the moment)
 what's at stake for all the characters here.  </DIV>
 <DIV> </DIV>
 <DIV>I
 wonder if the group might be willing to take a look at what I've done and make
 a critique?  Then I have some more specific questions about the
 significance of some of the Greek expressions that I'll raise in separate
 messages.</DIV>
 <DIV> </DIV>
 <DIV>Also:  does anyone recall a discussion of this
 passage which I might find in the archives?  And is anyone aware of any
 grammatical points of interest or land mines which I might have
 ignored?</DIV>
 <DIV> </DIV>
 <DIV>Thank you.</DIV>

 <DIV>Mark
 14:12-26 </DIV>
 <DIV> 
 And on the
 first day of the unleavened(s) (bread), when they sacrificed the pasch,
 his students/disciples/comrades said to him:  where do you wish us to go (we,
 departing) and prepare in order that you eat the pasch?<?xml:namespace
 prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 /><o:p></o:p>
 And he sends two of his
 students/disciples/comrades and he says to them:  make your way into the city
 and someone will meet you carrying an earthen water jar.  Follow
 him.<o:p></o:p>
 And wherever he enters, say to the
 house-boss that the teacher says: where is my guest-room where I
 may eat the pasch with the
 students/disciples/comrades?<o:p></o:p>
 And he will show to you a great upstairs-room,
 furnished (spread out) and ready. 
 And there make preparations for us. 
 <o:p></o:p>
 And the students/disciples/comrades went
 out and came into the city and found [the situation] just as he said
 to them and they prepared the
 pasch.<o:p></o:p>
 And when it became evening he came with the
 twelve.<o:p></o:p>
 And while
 they were reclining and eating, Jesus said:  on my word of word of honor I'm
 telling you, that one of you will hand me over, someone eating with
 me.<o:p></o:p>
 They began to be sorrowful and to say to
 him one by one:  (it's) not
 me, is it?<o:p></o:p>
 But he said to them:  (it's) one of the twelve, the
 one dipping with me into the bowl.<o:p></o:p>
 Because the son of man goes just as it
 stands written about him, but damned/shameless is (to) that man
 through whom the son of man is being handed over:  better (good) for him if that man
 had not been born (been begotten).<o:p></o:p>
 And while they were eating, taking bread,
 blessing (it), he broke (it) and gave to them and said:  take, this is my
 body.<o:p></o:p>
 and taking a cup, having given thanks, he
 gave (it) to them, and all of them drank out of
 it.<o:p></o:p>
 And he said to them:  this is my blood of the covenant,
 poured out for the sake of
many.<o:p></o:p>
 On my word of honor I say to you that I
 will definitely never drink from what comes from the vine until that
 day when I drink it anew in G-d's imperial rule. 
 <o:p></o:p>
 And
 singing hymns they went to the Mount of
 Olives.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
