Reading Mark chapter 14 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
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 should be an uproar of the people.
3 And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious; and she broke 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 whenever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.
