Mark 14:1-21 ▼

1 And after two dayes was Easter, and the daies of swete bred. And ye hye prestes & scrybes sought how they might take him with disceate, & put him to death.

2 But they sayde: Not in the feast daye, lest there be an vproure in the people.

3 And when he was at Bethanye in the house of Symon the leper, and sat at the table, there came a woman, which had a boxe of pure and costly Nardus oyntment. And she brake ye boxe, & poured it vpo his heade.

4 Then were there some, yt disdayned and sayde: Where to serueth this waist?

5 This oyntment might haue bene solde for more then thre hundreth pens, & bene geue to ye poore. And they grudged agaynst her.

6 But Iesus sayde: let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good worke vpo me.

7 Ye haue allwaye the poore with you, and wha so euer ye wil, ye maye do the good: but me haue ye not allwaie.

8 She hath done what she coulde, she is come before, to anoynte my body for my buriall.

9 Verely I saye vnto you: Where so euer this gospell shalbe preached in all the worlde, there shal this also that she hath now done, be tolde for a remembraunce of her.

10 And Iudas Iscarioth one of the twolue wente vnto the hye prestes, to betraye him vnto them.

11 Whan they herde yt, they were glad, & promysed that they wolde geue him money. And he sought, how he might coueniently betraye him.

12 And vpon ye first daye of swete bred, wha the Easter lambe was offered, his disciples sayde vnto him: Where wilt thou yt we go and prepare, yt thou mayest eate ye Easter labe?

13 And he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto them: Go youre waye into the cite, and there shal mete you a ma bearinge a pitcher with water, folowe him,

14 & where so euer he goeth in, there saye ye to the good man of the house: The Master sendeth the worde: Where is the gest house, wherin I maye eate the Easter labe, wt my disciples?

15 And he shal shewe you a greate parlour, which is paued & prepared, there make readye for vs.

16 And ye disciples wete forth, & came in to ye cite, & foude it as he had sayde vnto the. And they prepared ye Easter lambe.

17 At euen he came wt the twolue.

18 And as they sat at the table & ate, Iesus sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: One of you yt eateth wt me, shal betraye me.

19 And they were sory, & sayde vnto hi one after another: Is it I? & another (sayde:) is it I?

20 He answered & saide vnto the: One of the twolue, euen ye same yt dyppeth with me in ye platter.

21 The sonne of man truly goeth forth, as it is wrytte of hi. But wo vnto that ma, by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It were better for the same man, that he had neuer bene borne.
