drb - Mark:14:1-11

drb@Mark:14:1 @Now the feast of the pasch, and of the Azymes was after two days; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him, and kill him.

drb@Mark:14:2 @But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people.

drb@Mark:14:3 @And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard: and breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head.

drb@Mark:14:4 @Now there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made?

drb@Mark:14:5 @For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

drb@Mark:14:6 @But Jesus said: Let her alone, why do you molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me.

drb@Mark:14:7 @For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always.

drb@Mark:14:8 @She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

drb@Mark:14:9 @Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memorial of her.

drb@Mark:14:10 @And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.

drb@Mark:14:11 @Who hearing it were glad; and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
