Matthew 26:1-13 ▼

1 And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:

2 Ye knowe that after ii. dayes shalbe ester and the sonne of man shalbe delyvered to be crucified.

3 Then assembled togedder the chefe prestes and the scribes and the elders of the people to the palice of the hye preste called Cayphas

4 and heelde a counsell how they mygt take Iesus by suttelte and kyll him.

5 But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.

6 When Iesus was in Bethany in the house of Symon the leper

7 ther came vnto him a woman which had an alablaster boxe of precious oyntment and powred it on his heed as he sate at the bourde.

8 When his disciples sawe that they had indignacion sayinge: what neded this wast?

9 This oyntmet myght have bene well solde and geven to the povre.

10 When Iesus vnderstod that he sayde vnto the: why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke apon me.

11 For ye shall have povre folcke alwayes with you: but me shall ye not have all wayes.

12 And in yt she casted this oyntment on my bodye she dyd it to burye me wt all.

13 Verely I saye vnto you wheresoever this gospell shalbe preached throughoute all the worlde there shall also this that she hath done be tolde for a memoriall of her.
