- Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him;
- for they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people."
- While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.
- But some were indignantly remarking to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?
- "For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.
|
- 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.
|
- But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.
- "For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.
- "She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
- "Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."
- Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.
|
- 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.
- And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
|
- They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.
- On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
- And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;
- and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'
- "And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."
|
- And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
- And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
- And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
- And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
- And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
|
- The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
- When it was evening He came with the twelve.
- As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."
- They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"
- And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.
|
- And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
- And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
- And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
- And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
- And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
|
- "For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."
|
- The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
