3 And G2532 being G846 G5607 in G1722 Bethany G963 in G1722 the house G3614 of Simon G4613 the leper, G3015 as he G846 sat at meat, G2621 there came G2064 a woman G1135 having G2192 an alabaster box G211 of ointment G3464 of spikenard G3487 G4101 very precious; G4185 and G2532 she brake G4937 the box, G211 and poured G2708 it on G2596 his G846 head. G2776
And, G2532 behold, G2400 a woman G1135 in G1722 the city, G4172 which G3748 was G2258 a sinner, G268 when she knew G1921 that G3754 Jesus sat at meat G345 in G1722 the Pharisee's G5330 house, G3614 brought G2865 an alabaster box G211 of ointment, G3464 And G2532 stood G2476 at G3844 his G846 feet G4228 behind G3694 him weeping, G2799 and began G756 to wash G1026 his G846 feet G4228 with tears, G1144 and G2532 did wipe G1591 them with the hairs G2359 of her G846 head, G2776 and G2532 kissed G2705 his G846 feet, G4228 and G2532 anointed G218 them with the ointment. G3464 Now G1161 when the Pharisee G5330 which G3588 had bidden G2564 him G846 saw G1492 it, he spake G2036 within G1722 himself, G1438 saying, G3004 This man, G3778 if G1487 he were G2258 a prophet, G4396 G302 would have known G1097 who G5101 and G2532 what manner G4217 of woman G1135 this is that G3748 toucheth G680 him: G846 for G3754 she is G2076 a sinner. G268
Thy plants H7973 are an orchard H6508 of pomegranates, H7416 with pleasant H4022 fruits; H6529 camphire, H3724 with spikenard, H5373 Spikenard H5373 and saffron; H3750 calamus H7070 and cinnamon, H7076 with all trees H6086 of frankincense; H3828 myrrh H4753 and aloes, H174 with all the chief H7218 spices: H1314
Now G1161 when Jesus G2424 was G1096 in G1722 Bethany, G963 in G1722 the house G3614 of Simon G4613 the leper, G3015 There came G4334 unto him G846 a woman G1135 having G2192 an alabaster box G211 of very precious G927 ointment, G3464 and G2532 poured it G2708 on G1909 his G846 head, G2776 as he sat G345 at meat. But G1161 when his G846 disciples G3101 saw G1492 it, they had indignation, G23 saying, G3004 To G1519 what purpose G5101 is this G3778 waste? G684 For G1063 this G5124 ointment G3464 might G1410 have been sold G4097 for much, G4183 and G2532 given G1325 to the poor. G4434 When G1161 Jesus G2424 understood G1097 it, he said G2036 unto them, G846 Why G5101 trouble ye G2873 G3930 the woman? G1135 for G1063 she hath wrought G2038 a good G2570 work G2041 upon G1519 me. G1691 For G1063 ye have G2192 the poor G4434 always G3842 with G3326 you; G1438 but G1161 me G1691 ye have G2192 not G3756 always. G3842 For in that G1063 she G3778 G846 hath poured G906 this G5124 ointment G3464 on G1909 my G3450 body, G4983 she did G4160 it for G4314 my G3165 burial. G1779 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 Wheresoever G3699 G1437 this G5124 gospel G2098 shall be preached G2784 in G1722 the whole G3650 world, G2889 there shall also G2532 this, that G3739 this woman G3778 G846 hath done, G4160 be told G2980 for G1519 a memorial G3422 of her. G846
Then G3767 Jesus G2424 six G1803 days G2250 before G4253 the passover G3957 came G2064 to G1519 Bethany, G963 where G3699 Lazarus G2976 was G2258 which G3588 had been dead, G2348 whom G3739 he raised G1453 from G1537 the dead. G3498 There G1563 G3767 they made G4160 him G846 a supper; G1173 and G2532 Martha G3136 served: G1247 but G1161 Lazarus G2976 was G2258 one G1520 of them that sat at the table G4873 with him. G846 Then G3767 took G2983 Mary G3137 a pound G3046 of ointment G3464 of spikenard, G3487 G4101 very costly, G4186 and anointed G218 the feet G4228 of Jesus, G2424 and G2532 wiped G1591 his G846 feet G4228 with her G846 hair: G2359 and G1161 the house G3614 was filled G4137 with G1537 the odour G3744 of the ointment. G3464 Then G3767 saith G3004 one G1520 of G1537 his G846 disciples, G3101 Judas G2455 Iscariot, G2469 Simon's G4613 son, which G3588 should G3195 betray G3860 him, G846 Why G1302 was G4097 not G3756 this G5124 ointment G3464 sold G4097 for three hundred G5145 pence, G1220 and G2532 given G1325 to the poor? G4434 G1161 This G5124 he said, G2036 not G3756 that G3754 he G846 cared G3199 for G4012 the poor; G4434 but G235 because G3754 he was G2258 a thief, G2812 and G2532 had G2192 the bag, G1101 and G2532 bare G941 what was put therein. G906 Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus, G2424 Let G863 her G846 alone: G863 against G1519 the day G2250 of my G3450 burying G1780 hath she kept G5083 this. G846 For G1063 the poor G4434 always G3842 ye have G2192 with G3326 you; G1438 but G1161 me G1691 ye have G2192 not G3756 always. G3842

Commentary on Mark 14 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 14
In this chapter begins the account which this evangelist gives of the death and sufferings of our Lord Jesus, which we are all concerned to be acquainted, not only with the history of, but with the mystery of. Here is,
Most of which passages we had before, Mt. 26.
Mar 14:1-11
We have here instances,
Now,
Now see,
Mar 14:12-31
In these verses we have,
Now, in answer to their enquiry, Christ saith that,
But Christ encourages them with a promise that they shall rally again, shall return both to their duty and to their comfort (v. 28); "After I am risen, I will gather you in from all the places wither you are scattered, Eze. 34:12. I will go before you into Galilee, will see our friends, and enjoy one another there.'
Mar 14:32-42
Christ is here entering upon his sufferings, and begins with those which were the sorest of all his sufferings, those in his soul. Here we have him in his agony; this melancholy story we had in Matthew; this agony in soul was the wormwood and the gall in the affliction and misery; and thereby it appeared that no sorrow was forced upon him, but that it was what he freely admitted.
Now the consideration of Christ's sufferings in his soul, and his sorrows for us, should be of use to us,
As those whom Christ loves he rebukes when they do amiss, so those whom he rebukes he counsels and comforts.
Mar 14:43-52
We have here the seizing of our Lord Jesus by the officers of the chief priests. This was what his enemies had long aimed at, they had often sent to take him; but he had escaped out of their hands, because his hour was not come, nor could they now have taken him, had he not freely surrendered himself. He began first to suffer in his soul, but afterward suffered in his body, that he might satisfy for sin, which begins in the heart, but afterwards makes the members of the body instruments of unrighteousness.
Mar 14:53-65
We have here Christ's arraignment, trial, conviction, and condemnation, in the ecclesiastical court, before the great sanhedrim, of which the high priest was president, or judge of the court; the same Caiaphas that had lately adjudged it expedient he should be put to death, guilty or not guilty (Jn. 11:50), and who therefore might justly be excepted against as partial.
Mar 14:66-72
We have here the story of Peter's denying Christ.
