Mark 14:1-15

Etheridge(i) 1 BUT after two days was the Petscha of unleavened cakes:* and the chief priests and the Sophree sought how with guile they might apprehend and kill him. [* Phatiree, "unleavened bread," in the plural; so called either from phatar, "to send forth, liberate," in allusion to the Exodus; or from the Arabic fatara, "to knead bread without leaven."] 2 And they said, Not on the festival, lest there be a commotion among the people. 3 And when he was at Bethania in the house of Shemun the leper, as he reclined, there came a woman who had with her a vase of the balsam of the choicest nard of great prices; and she opened it, and poured it upon the head of Jeshu. 4 But there were men of the disciples who were displeased among themselves, and said, Why make destruction of this balsam? 5 for it could have been sold for more than three hundred dinoreen, and given to the poor. And they were angry with her. 6 But he, Jeshu, said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? A good work hath she wrought upon me. 7 For in all time you have the poor with you, and, when you will, you can do them good; but I am not at all time with you. 8 (With) that which was hers she hath done this, and beforehand as for the funeral she hath anointed my body. 9 And Amen I say to you, That wheresoever my gospel shall be preached in the whole world, this also which she hath now done shall be told in memorial of her. 10 But Jihuda Scarjuta, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray Jeshu to them: 11 and they when they had heard rejoiced, and promised silver to give him. And he sought to him opportunity to betray him. 12 And the first day of the unleavened bread, in which the Jihudoyee sacrifice the Petscha, the disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go to prepare for thee to eat the Petscha? 13 And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go to the city, and, observe, a man meeteth you bearing a vessel of waters. Go after him; 14 and when he hath entered, say to the house-lord, Our Master saith, Where is the place of feasting, where I can eat with my disciples the Petscha? 15 And, behold, he showeth you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
