kill him.
Azymes... That is, the feast of the unleavened bread.
14:2. But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a
tumult among the people.
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.
14:4. Now there were some that had indignation within themselves and
said: Why was this waste of the ointment made?
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.
14:6. But Jesus said: Let her alone. Why do You molest her? She hath
wrought a good work upon me.
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.
14:8. She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my
body for the burial.
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.
14:10. And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests,
to betray him to them.
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.
14:12. Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they
sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that
we go and prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
14:13. And he sendeth two of his disciples and saith to them: Go ye into
the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water.
Follow him.
14:14. And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house,
The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with
my disciples?
14:15. And he will shew you a large dining room furnished. And there
prepare ye for us.
14:16. And his disciples went their way and came into the city. And
they found as he had told them: and they prepared the pasch.
14:17. And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.
14:18. And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say
to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me.
14:19. But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is
it I?
14:20. Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his
hand in the dish.
14:21. And the Son
