Mark 14 - Introduction

A conspiracy against Christ: precious ointment is poured on his head by a woman: Judas selleth his Master for money. Christ himself foretelleth how he shall be betrayed by one of his disciples: after the passover prepared, and eaten, he instituteth his supper: declareth aforehand the flight of all his disciples, and Peter's denial. Judas betrayeth him with a kiss: he is apprehended in the garden, falsely accused, and impiously condemned by the Jews' council; shamefully abused by them, and thrice denied of Peter.
