What would you do if silence could grant your deepest prayer? Jesus's has been arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and the profound choice to speak the truth, even when silence could have spared Him suffering.

Sermon Notes
Mark 14:43 – 45 Judas betrays Jesus
Mark 14:46 – 50 Jesus arrested; someone tries to stop the arrest, but Jesus intervenes, then Hiss disciples fled
Mark 14:51 & 52 A young man wearing only a linen sheet flees naked
Mark 14:53 Jesus taken to the High Priest and Council
Mark 14:54 Peter follows at a distance
Mark 14:55 – 60 During the first trial only false and inconsistent testimony is given
Mark 61 & 62 Jesus thus far remains silent and if He remained so He would have to be released. So Chief Priest asks Jesus why He does not respond and if He is the Christ. Jesus responds “I am”
Mark 14:63 – 66 High Priest acts as if he is mourning. The Council condemns Jesus as worthy of death due to blasphemy and begin to mistreat Him
