Mark.14
[1] 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. [2]
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. [3] 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. [4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? [5] 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, Let her alone; why trouble ye
her? she hath wrought a good work on me. [7] For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may
do them good: but me ye have not always. [8] She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body
to the burying. [9] 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.
The crucifixion
25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. [26]
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. [27] And with him they crucify
two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. [28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,
And he was numbered with the transgressors. [29] And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, [30] Save thyself, and come down from
the cross. [31] Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others;
himself he cannot save. [32] Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.
And they that were crucified with him reviled him. [33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over
the whole land until the ninth hour. [34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [35] And some of them
that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. [36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. [38]
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. [39] And when the centurion, which stood
over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. [40]
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of
Joses, and Salome; [41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many
other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. [42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation,
that is, the day before the sabbath, [43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited for
the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. [44] And Pilate marvelled
if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. [45]
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. [46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down,
and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of
the sepulchre. [47] And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
