Mark 14
1 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.
And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.

And there were some that were much displeased, [[and said]] among themselves, Why is this waste of the ointment made?

6 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? A good deed hath she done for me.
7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
For the poor ye have always with you, and whenever ye will, ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for its burial.
9 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."
And truly do I say to you, Wherever the glad tidings shall be published throughout the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her.

64 You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death.
65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, "Prophesy." And the officers took him and beat him.

66 Now as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came,
And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the high-priest;
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed.
But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crew.
69 And the servant girl saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, "This is one of them."
And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them.
70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your accent shows it."
And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.
71 But he began to curse, and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
72 And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.
And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
