Mark:14:1-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After two days was the feast of the passover ,
and of unleavened bread :
and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft ,
and put him to death .
*
But they said ,
Not on the feast day ,
lest there be an uproar of the people .
*
And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper ,
as he sat at meat ,
there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious ;
and she brake the box ,
and poured it on his head .
*
And there were some that had indignation within themselves ,
and said ,
Why was this waste of the ointment made ?
*
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence ,
and have been given to the poor .
And they murmured against her .
*
And Jesus said ,
Let her alone ;
why trouble ye her ?
she hath wrought a good work on me .
*
For ye have the poor with you always ,
and whensoever ye will ye may do them good :
but me ye have not always .
*
She hath done what she could :
she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world ,
this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her .
*
And Judas Iscariot ,
one of the twelve ,
went unto the chief priests ,
to betray him unto them .
*
And when they heard it ,
they were glad ,
and promised to give him money .
And he sought how he might conveniently betray him .
*
And the first day of unleavened bread ,
when they killed the passover ,
his disciples said unto him ,
Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover ?
*
And he sendeth forth two of his disciples ,
and saith unto them ,
Go ye into the city ,
and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water :
follow him .
*
And wheresoever he shall go in ,
say ye to the goodman of the house ,
The Master saith ,
Where is the guestchamber ,
where I shall eat the passover with my disciples ?
*
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared :
there make ready for us .
*
And his disciples went forth ,
and came into the city ,
and found as he had said unto them :
and they made ready the passover .
*
And in the evening he cometh with the twelve .
*
And as they sat and did eat ,
Jesus said ,
Verily I say unto you ,
One of you which eateth with me shall betray me .
*
And they began to be sorrowful ,
and to say unto him one by one ,
Is it I ?
and another said ,
Is it I ?
*
And he answered and said unto them ,
It is one of the twelve ,
that dippeth with me in the dish .
*
The Son of man indeed goeth ,
as it is written of him :
but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed !
good were it for that man if he had never been born .
*
And as they did eat ,
Jesus took bread ,
and blessed ,
and brake it ,
and gave to them ,
and said ,
Take ,
eat :
this is my body .
*
And he took the cup ,
and when he had given thanks ,
he gave it to them :
and they all drank of it .
*
And he said unto them ,
This is my blood of the new testament ,
which is shed for many .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine ,
until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God .
