Matthew - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
- You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:
- Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
- And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.
- But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
- And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
- There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.
- And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
- For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
- And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
- For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.
- For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial.
- Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her.
- Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
- And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
- And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.
- And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
- But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man, and say to him: the master saith, My time is near at hand, with thee I make the pasch with my disciples.
- And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.
- But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.
