ACV(i)
1 Now after two days was the Passover and the unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scholars sought how, having take him with trickery, they might kill him,
2 but they said, Not during the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.
3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat relaxing, a woman came having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure spikenard, very valuable. And having broken the alabaster cruse, she poured it on his head.
4 And some were indignant within themselves, saying, Why has this waste of the ointment happened?
5 For this could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they grumbled at her.
6 But Jesus said, Leave her be. Why do ye cause troubles for her? She performed a good work on me.
7 For ye always have the poor with you, and whenever ye may desire ye can do them well, but ye do not always have me.
8 She applied what she had to anoint my body. She did it beforehand for the burial.
9 And truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be preached in the whole world, also what she did will be told for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might betray him to them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might betray him conveniently.
12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover, his disciples say to him, Where do thou want, after going, we should prepare that thou may eat the Passover?
13 And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.
14 And wherever he may enter, say ye to the house-ruler, The teacher says, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?
15 And he himself will show you a large upper room spread out ready. Prepare ye for us there.
