61 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth; and thus cometh the end.
Mark 14 Intro: Christ anointed by the woman -- The Passover eaten -- Christ's betrayal.
1 After two days was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread.
2 And the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might take Jesus by craft, and put him to death.
3 But they said among themselves, Let us not take him on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
4 And Jesus 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 the ointment on his head.
5 There were some among the disciples who 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.
6 And Jesus said unto them, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? For she hath wrought a good work on me.
7 Ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will, ye may do them good; but me ye have not always.
8 She has done what she could, and this which she has done unto me, shall be had in remembrance in generations to come, wheresoever my gospel shall be preached; for verily she has come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, what she hath done shall be spoken of also for a memorial of her.
