CHAP. XIV.
1 A conspiracie against Christ. 3 Precious ointment is powred on his head by a woman. 10 Iudas selleth his master for money. 12 Christ himselfe foretelleth how he shall be betrayed of one of his disciples: 22 after the Passeouer prepared, & eaten, instituteth his Supper: 26 declareth aforehand the flight of all his disciples, and Peters deniall. 43 Iudas betrayeth him with a kisse. 46 Hee is apprehended in the garden, 53 Falsly accused, and impiously condemned of the Iewes counsell: 65 shamefully abused by them: 66 and thrise denied of Peter.

1 After two dayes was the feast of the Passeouer, and of vnleauened bread: and the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.1
2
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an vprore of the people.
3
3 ¶ And being in Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sate at meat, there came a woman, hauing an Alabaster boxe of oyntment of spikenard very precious, and shee brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.3
4
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselues, and said, Why was this waste of the oyntment made?
5
5 For it might haue bene solde for more then three hundred pence, and haue bene giuen to the poore: and they murmured against her.5
6
6 And Iesus said, Let her alone, why trouble you her? Shee hath wrought a good worke on me.
7
7 For ye haue the poore with you alwayes, and whensoeuer ye will yee may doe them good: but me ye haue not alwayes.
8
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9
9 Uerely I say vnto you, Wheresoeuer this Gospel shalbe preached thorowout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shall be spoken of for a memoriall of her.
10
10 ¶ And Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went vnto the chiefe Priests, to betray him vnto them.10
11
11And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to giue him money. And he sought how he might conueniently betray him.
12
12 ¶ And the first day of vnleauened bread, when they killed the Passeouer, his disciples said vnto him, Where wilt thou that we goe, and prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passeouer?12
13
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith vnto them, Goe yee into the citie, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14
14 And wheresoeuer he shall goe in, say yee to the good man of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eate the Passeouer with my disciples?
15
15 And he will shew you a large vpper roome furnished, and prepared: there make ready for vs.
16
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the citie, and found as hee had said vnto them: and they made readie the Passeouer.
17
17 And in the euening hee commeth with the twelue.
18
18 And as they sate, and did eat, Iesus said, Uerily I say vnto you, one of you which eateth with me, shall betray mee.18
19
19 And they began to be sorowfull, and to say vnto him, one by one, Is it I? And another said, Is it I?
20
20 And he answered, and saide vnto them, It is one of the twelue, that dippeth with me in the dish.
21
21 The sonne of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Sonne of man is betrayed: Good were it for that man, if he had neuer bene borne.
22
22 ¶ And as they did eate, Iesus tooke bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gaue to them, and said, Take, eate: this is my body.22
23
23 And he tooke the cup, and when he had giuen thanks, he gaue it to them: and they all dranke of it.
24
24 And he said vnto them, This is my blood of the new Testament, which is shed for many.
25
25 Uerely I say vnto you, I will drinke no more of the fruit of the Uine, vntill that day that I drinke it new in the kingdome of God.
26
26 ¶ And when they had sung an hymne, they went out into the mount of Oliues.26
27
27 And Iesus saith vnto them, All ye shall be offended because of mee this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepheard, and the sheepe shall be scattered.27
28
28 But after that I am risen, I will goe before you into Galilee.
29
29 But Peter said vnto him, Although al shalbe offended, yet wil not I.29
30
30 And Iesus saith vnto him, Uerily I say vnto thee, that this day, euen in this night before the cocke crow twise, thou shalt denie me thrise.
31
31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not denie thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
32
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemani, and hee saith to his disciples, Sit yee here, while I shall pray.32
33
33 And hee taketh with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heauy,
