Mark 14:1-9. ἦν δὲ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα μετὰ δύο
ἡμέρας. καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς πῶς αὐτὸν ἐν δόλῳ
κρατήσαντες ἀποκτείνωσιν: ἔλεγον γάρ, μὴ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, μήποτε ἔσται θόρυβος
τοῦ λαοῦ. καὶ ὄντος αὐτοῦ ἐν βηθανίᾳ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ σίμωνος τοῦ λεπροῦ κατακειμένου
αὐτοῦ ἦλθεν γυνὴ ἔχουσα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτελοῦς:
συντρίψασα τὴν ἀλάβαστρον κατέχεεν αὐτοῦ τῆς κεφαλῆς. ἦσαν δέ τινες ἀγανακτοῦντες
πρὸς ἑαυτούς, εἰς τί ἡ ἀπώλεια αὕτη τοῦ μύρου γέγονεν; ἠδύνατο γὰρ τοῦτο
τὸ μύρον πραθῆναι ἐπάνω δηναρίων τριακοσίων καὶ δοθῆναι τοῖς πτωχοῖς:
καὶ ἐνεβριμῶντο αὐτῇ. ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, ἄφετε αὐτήν: τί αὐτῇ κόπους
παρέχετε; καλὸν ἔργον ἠργάσατο ἐν ἐμοί. πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε
μεθ' ἑαυτῶν, καὶ ὅταν θέλητε δύνασθε αὐτοῖς εὖ ποιῆσαι, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε
ἔχετε. ὃ ἔσχεν ἐποίησεν: προέλαβεν μυρίσαι τὸ σῶμά μου εἰς τὸν ἐνταφιασμόν.
ἀμὴν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῇ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον εἰς ὅλον τὸν κόσμον,
καὶ ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη λαληθήσεται εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς. |
Mark 14:1-9. 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. But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar of the people. And being in Bethany in the house
of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster
box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and
poured it on his head. And there were some that had indignation within
themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? For it might
have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to
the poor. And they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone;
why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the
poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me
ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand
to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this
gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she
hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. |
