Mark 14:1-34 ▼

1 After two dayes was the feaste of the Passouer, & of vnleuened bread. And the hye priestes and the scribes, sought howe they myght take him by craft, and put hym to death.

2 But they sayde: not in the feast day, lest any busines arise among the people.

3 And when he was at Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, euen as he sate at meate, there came a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of very precious oyntment, called Narde pisrike, and she brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.

4 And there were some, that had indignation within them selues, and sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment?

5 For it myght haue ben solde for more then three hundred pence, and haue ben geuen to the poore. And they grudged agaynst her.

6 And Iesus sayde: let her alone, why trouble ye her? She hath done a good worke on me.

7 For ye haue poore with you alwayes, and whensoeuer ye wyll, ye may do the good: but me haue ye not alwayes.

8 She hath done that she coulde: she came aforehande, to annoynt my body to the burying.

9 Ueryly I say vnto you, whersoeuer this Gospel shalbe preached, throughout the whole worlde, this also that she hath done, shalbe rehearsed, in remembraunce of her.

10 And Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away vnto ye hye priestes, to betray hym vnto them.

11 When they hearde that, they were glad, and promised that they woulde geue hym money. And he sought howe he myght conueniently betray hym.

12 And the first day of vnleuened bread, when they dyd sacrifice the Passouer, his disciples sayde vnto hym: Where wylt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passouer?

13 And he sendeth foorth two of his disciples, and sayth vnto them: Go ye into the citie, & there shall meete you a man bearing a pitcher of water, folowe him.

14 And whyther soeuer he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, the maister sayth: Where is the ghest chaumber, where I shall eate the Pasouer with my disciples?

15 And he wyll shewe you a large vpper chaumber, paued and prepared: there make redy for vs.

16 And his disciples went foorth, & came into the citie, & founde as he had sayd vnto them: & they made redy the Passouer.

17 And when it was nowe euen tyde, he came with the twelue.

18 And as they sate at boord & dyd eate, Iesus sayde: Ueryly I say vnto you, one of you, that eateth with me, shall betray me.

19 And they began to be sory, and to say to hym one by one, is it I? And another sayde, is it I?

20 He aunswered and sayde vnto them: It is one of the twelue, euen he that dyppeth with me in the platter.

21 The sonne of man truely goeth as it is written of hym: but wo to that man by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. Good were it for that man, yf he had neuer ben borne.

22 And as they dyd eate, Iesus toke bread: and whe he had blessed, he brake it and gaue to them, and sayde: Take, eate, this is my body.

23 And he toke the cup, and when he had geuen thankes, he toke it to them: and they all dranke of it.

24 And he sayde vnto them: This is my blood, of the newe Testament, which is shed for many.

25 Ueryly I say vnto you, I wyll drinke no more of the fruite of the vine, vntyll that day, that I drinke it newe in the kyngdome of God.

26 And when they had praysed God, they went out into ye mount of Oliues.

27 And Iesus sayth vnto them: All ye shalbe offended because of me this nyght. For it is written: I wyll smyte the sheepehearde, and the sheepe shalbe scattered.

28 But after that I am risen agayne, I wyll go into Galilee before you.

29 Peter sayde vnto hym: And though all men be offended, yet wyll not I.

30 And Iesus sayth vnto hym: Ueryly I say vnto thee, that this day, euen, in this night, before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt deny me three tymes.

31 But he spake more vehemently: no, yf I shoulde dye with thee, I wyll not deny thee. Likewise also sayde they all.

32 And they came into a place which was named Gethsemani, and he sayth to his disciples: Sit ye heare, whyle I shall pray.

33 And he taketh with hym, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and began to waxe abasshed, and to be in an agonie.

34 And sayth vnto them: My soule is heauie, euen vnto the death, tarry ye here and watche.
