Mark 14:1-11 ▼

1 After two dayes was the feaste of the Passouer, & of vnleuened bread. And the hye priestes and the scribes, sought howe they myght take him by craft, and put hym to death.

2 But they sayde: not in the feast day, lest any busines arise among the people.

3 And when he was at Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, euen as he sate at meate, there came a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of very precious oyntment, called Narde pisrike, and she brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.

4 And there were some, that had indignation within them selues, and sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment?

5 For it myght haue ben solde for more then three hundred pence, and haue ben geuen to the poore. And they grudged agaynst her.

6 And Iesus sayde: let her alone, why trouble ye her? She hath done a good worke on me.

7 For ye haue poore with you alwayes, and whensoeuer ye wyll, ye may do the good: but me haue ye not alwayes.

8 She hath done that she coulde: she came aforehande, to annoynt my body to the burying.

9 Ueryly I say vnto you, whersoeuer this Gospel shalbe preached, throughout the whole worlde, this also that she hath done, shalbe rehearsed, in remembraunce of her.

10 And Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away vnto ye hye priestes, to betray hym vnto them.

11 When they hearde that, they were glad, and promised that they woulde geue hym money. And he sought howe he myght conueniently betray hym.
