mnt - Mark:14:1-11

mnt@Mark:14:1 @ Now two days later was the feast of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread. Both the chief priests and the Scribes were continually seeking how they might arrest him by a stratagem and kill him;

mnt@Mark:14:2 @ but, "Not on a feast-day," they said, "for fear there should be a riot among the people."

mnt@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was dining, a woman came with an alabaster vase of very costly, pure spikenard perfume, and, breaking the vase, she poured the perfume on his head.

mnt@Mark:14:4 @ Some of those who were present said among themselves indignantly. "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

mnt@Mark:14:5 @ That perfume could have been sold for more than one hundred and fifty dollars, and given to the poor."

mnt@Mark:14:6 @ So they began upbraiding her, but Jesus said. "Let her alone. Why are you troubling her?

mnt@Mark:14:7 @ She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor among you, and can show them kindness whenever you wish, but me you will not always have.

mnt@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. she has before time anointed my body for my burial.

mnt@Mark:14:9 @ I tell you in solemn truth that wherever the gospel is preached throughout the whole world, there what she has done shall be told in remembrance of her."

mnt@Mark:14:10 @ Now Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the high priests to betray Jesus to them;

mnt@Mark:14:11 @ and they were glad when they heard it, and promised to pay him money. So he kept looking for an opportunity to betray him.
