Mark 14 ©

1 The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ. 3 A woman poureth precious ointment on his head. 10 Judas covenanteth to betray him. 12 Christ eateth the passover, and sheweth that one of his disciples should betray him: 22 he instituteth his last supper: 26 foretelleth the desertion of all his disciples, and Peter's denial of him: 32 his agony and prayer in the garden. 43 He is betrayed by Judas, and seized: his disciples flee: 53 he is carried before the council, falsely accused, examined, pronounced guilty, and treated with indignity. 66 Peter's denial, and repentance.
