1 And it was doon, whanne Jhesus hadde endid alle these wordis, he seide to hise disciplis,

2 Ye witen, that aftir twei daies pask schal be maad, and mannus sone schal be bitakun to be crucified.

3 Than the princes of prestis and the elder men of the puple were gaderid in to the halle of the prince of prestis, that was seid Cayfas,

4 and maden a counsel to holde Jhesu with gile, and sle him;

5 but thei seiden, Not in the haliday, lest perauenture noyse were maad in the puple.

6 And whanne Jhesus was in Betanye, in the hous of Symount leprous,

7 a womman that hadde a box of alabastre of precious oynement, cam to hym, and schedde out on the heed of hym restynge.

8 And disciplis seynge hadden dedeyn, and seiden, Wherto this loss? for it myyte be seld for myche,

9 and be youun to pore men.

10 But Jhesus knewe, and seide to hem, What ben ye heuy to this womman? for sche hath wrouyt in me a good werk.

11 For ye schulen euere haue pore men with you, but ye schulen not algatis haue me.

12 This womman sendynge this oynement in to my bodi, dide to birie me.

13 Treuli Y seie to you, where euer this gospel schal be prechid in al the world, it schal be seid, that sche dide this, in mynde of hym.

14 Thanne oon of the twelue, that was clepid Judas Scarioth, wente forth to the princis of prestis,

15 and seide to hem, What wolen ye yyue to me, and Y schal bitake hym to you? And thei ordeyneden to hym thretti pans of siluer.

16 And fro that tyme he souyte oportunyte, to bitraye hym.

17 And in the firste dai of therf looues the disciplis camen to Jhesu, and seiden, Where wolt thou we make redi to thee, to ete paske?

18 Jhesus seide, Go ye into the citee to sum man, and seie to hym, The maistir seith, My tyme is nyy; at thee Y make paske with my disciplis.

19 And the disciplis diden, as Jhesus comaundide to hem; and thei maden the paske redi.

20 And whanne euentid was come, he sat to mete with hise twelue disciplis.

21 And he seide to hem, as thei eten, Treuli Y seie to you, that oon of you schal bitraye me.

22 And thei ful sori bigunnen ech bi hym silf to seie, Lord, whether Y am?

23 And he answeride, and seide, He that puttith with me his hoond in the plater, schal bitraye me.

24 Forsothe mannus sone goith, as it is writun of hym; but wo to that man, bi whom mannus sone schal be bitrayed; it were good to hym, if that man hadde not be borun.

25 But Judas that bitraiede hym, answeride, seiynge, Maister, whether Y am? Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast seid.

26 And while thei soupeden, Jhesus took breed, and blesside, and brak, and yaf to hise disciplis, and seide, Take ye, and ete; this is my body.

27 And he took the cuppe, and dide thankyngis, and yaf to hem,

28 and seide, Drynke ye alle herof; this is my blood of the newe testament, which schal be sched for many, in to remissioun of synnes.
