Verses 1-11
1. Jesus’ sufferings because of betrayal 14:1-11
This is another section of the Gospel that has a chiastic or "sandwich" structure (cf. Mark 3:20-35; Mark 5:21-43; Mark 6:7-31; Mark 11:12-26; Mark 14:27-52). Mark’s account of the conspiracy to kill Jesus (Mark 14:1-2; Mark 14:10-11) surrounds Jesus’ anointing in Bethany (Mark 14:3-9).
