Mark 14:1-15

JuliaSmith(i) 1 And after two days was the pascha, and the unleavened loaves: and the chief priests and scribes sought how, having taken him by fraud, they might kill. 2 And they said, Not in the festival, lest there be an uproar of the people. 3 And he being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leprous, he reclining at table, a woman came having an alabaster box of perfumed oil of persuasive, costly, spikenard;. and having broken the alabaster box, she poured upon his head. 4 And there were some displeased in themselves, and saying, For what has been the loss of this perfumed oil? 5 For this could have been sold for above three hundred drachmas, and have been given to the poor. And they raged against her. 6 And Jesus said, Let her go; why bestow ye weariness upon her? she has wrought a good work upon me. 7 For always have ye the poor with you, and when ye wish ye can do them good: and me ye have not always. 8 And what she had, she has done: she has undertaken beforehand to perfume my body for the burial. 9 Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, also what she has done shall be spoken for a memorial of her. 10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them. 11 And having heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might opportunely deliver him up. 12 And in the first day of the unleavened, when they sacrificed the pascha, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou, we, having gone, should prepare that thou eat the pascha 13 And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Retire to the city, and a man shall meet you bearing an earthen vessel of water; follow him. 14 And wherever he should enter in, say to the lord of the house, That the Teacher says, Where is the room where I might eat the pascha with my disciples? 15 And he will shew you a great apartment spread, ready: there prepare for us.
