Matthew 26:1-27

CAB(i) 1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, that He said to His disciples, 2 You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." 3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were assembled into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and plotted to take Jesus by guile and kill Him. 5 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a disturbance take place among the people." 6 And when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she began to pour it on His head as He reclined to eat. 8 But when His disciples saw it, they became indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this perfume could have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor." 10 But when Jesus became aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. 12 For this woman, having put this perfume on My body, she did it for My burial. 13 Assuredly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will be spoken as a memorial to her." 14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?"

' " 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. 20 And when it was evening, He was reclining to eat with the twelve. 21 Now while they were eating, He said, "Assuredly I say to you, that one of you will betray Me." 22 And becoming exceedingly sorrowful, each of them began to say to Him, "Surely not I am the one, Lord?" 23 He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl will betray Me. 24 Indeed, the Son of Man goes just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." 25 Then Judas, the one betraying Him, answered and said, "Surely not I am the one, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You have said it." 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and giving thanks, He broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you,
