Mark 14:1-20 ▼

1 And two daies after followed the feast of the Passeouer, and of vnleauened bread: and the hie Priests, & Scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

2 But they sayde, Not in the feast day, least there be any tumult among the people.

3 And when hee was in Bethania in the house of Simon the leper, as he sate at table, there came a woman hauing a boxe of oyntment of spikenarde, very costly, and shee brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.

4 Therefore some disdained among themselues, and sayde, To what ende is this waste of oyntment?

5 For it might haue bene sold for more then three hundreth pence, and bene giuen vnto the poore, and they murmured against her.

6 But Iesus saide, Let her alone: why trouble yee her? Shee hath wrought a good worke on me.

7 For yee haue the poore with you alwaies, and when yee will yee may doe them good, but me yee shall not haue alwaies.

8 She hath done that she coulde: she came afore hand to anoynt my body to the burying.

9 Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shalbe spoken of in remembrance of her.

10 Then Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away vnto the hie Priestes, to betray him vnto them.

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they woulde giue him monie: therefore he sought howe he might conueniently betraie him.

12 Nowe the first day of vnleauened bread, when they sacrificed the Passeouer, his disciples sayde vnto him, Where wilt thou that we goe and prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passeouer?

13 Then hee sent foorth two of his disciples, and sayde vnto them, Goe yee into the citie, and there shall a man meete you bearing a pitcher of water: followe him.

14 And whithersoeuer he goeth in, say yee to the good man of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the lodging where I shal eate the Passeouer with my disciples?

15 And he wil shewe you an vpper chamber which is large, trimmed and prepared: there make it readie for vs.

16 So his disciples went foorth, and came to the citie, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer.

17 And at euen he came with the twelue.

18 And as they sate at table and did eate, Iesus said, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me.

19 Then they began to be sorowful & to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I?

20 And he answered and sayde vnto them, It is one of the twelue that dippeth with mee in the platter.
