New Testament in a Year

26 And it was done, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples,

² Ye know, that after two days pask shall be made, and man's Son shall be betaken to be crucified.

³ Then the princes of priests and the elder men of the people were gathered into the hall of the prince of priests, that was said Caiaphas,

⁴ and made a counsel to hold Jesus with guile, and slay him; [and made a counsel, that they should hold Jesus with guile, and slay him;]

⁵ but they said, Not in the holiday [soothly they said, Not in the feast day], lest peradventure noise were made in the people.

⁶ And when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,

⁷ a woman that had a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came to him [a woman having a box of alabaster of precious ointment, came nigh to him], and shedded it out on the head of him resting.

⁸ And the disciples seeing had disdain, and said [saying], Whereto is this loss?

⁹ for it might be sold for much [for this might have been sold for much], and be given to poor men.

¹⁰ But Jesus knew, and said to them, What be ye heavy to this woman? for she hath wrought in me a good work [she hath wrought a good work in me].

¹¹ For ye shall ever have poor men with you, but ye shall not always have me. [For why ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not all-gates have me.]

¹² For this woman sending this ointment into my body, did [for] to bury me.

¹³ Truly I say to you, where ever this gospel shall be preached in all the world, it shall be said, that she did this, in mind of him [it shall be said and that this woman did, into mind of him].

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, that was called Judas Iscariot, went forth to the princes of priests [went to the princes of priests],

¹⁵ and said to them, What will ye give to me, and I shall betake him to you? And they ordained to him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity [he sought covenability], to betray him.

¹⁷ And in the first day of therf loaves, the disciples came to Jesus, and said^[a], Where wilt thou [that] we make ready to thee, [for] to eat pask?

¹⁸ [And] Jesus said, Go ye into the city to a man, and say to him, The master saith, My time is nigh; at thee I make pask with my disciples.

¹⁹ And the disciples did, as Jesus commanded to them; and they made the pask ready [and they made ready pask].

²⁰ And when the eventide was come, he sat to meat with his twelve disciples. [Forsooth evening made, he sat at the meat with his twelve disciples.]

²¹ And he said to them, as they ate, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² And they full sorry began each by himself to say, Lord, whether I am he?^[b]

²³ And he answered, and said, He that putteth with me his hand in the platter, [this] shall betray me.

²⁴ Forsooth man's Son goeth, as it is written of him; but woe to that man, by whom man's Son shall be betrayed; it were good to him, if that man had not been born.

²⁵ But Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether I am he? Jesus said to him, Thou hast said. [Forsooth Judas that betrayed him, answered, saying, Master, whether it am I? He said to him, Thou hast said.]
