1 And it occurred, when Jesus finishes all these sayings, He said to His disciples,
2 You are aware that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Mankind is being given up to be crucified."
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered in the courtyard of the chief priest, who is termed Caiaphas,
4 and they plan that they should be laying hold of Jesus by guile and should be killing Him.
5 Yet they said, "Not in the festival, lest a tumult may be occurring among the people."
6 Now at Jesus' coming to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster vase of attar, very precious, and she pours it down on His head at His lying back at table."
8 Now perceiving it, His disciples resent it, saying, "Why this destruction?
9 For this could be disposed of for much and given to the poor."
10 Now, knowing it, Jesus said to them, "Why are you affording the woman weariness? For she works an ideal work for Me."
11 For you always have the poor with you, yet Me you have not always."
12 For she, spraying this attar on My body, does it for My burial."
13 Verily, I am saying to you, Wheresoever this evangel may be heralded in the whole world, that also which she does shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."
14 Then one of the twelve who is termed Judas Iscariot, having gone to the chief priests, said, "What are you willing to give me, and I will be giving Him up to you?

18 Now He said, "Go into the city to so and so, and say to him, 'The Teacher is saying, "My appointed time is near. With you am I holding the passover with My disciples."'"
19 And the disciples do as Jesus arranges with them, and they make ready the passover."
20 Now, evening coming on, He was lying back at table with the twelve disciples."
21 And at their eating, He said, "Verily, I am saying to you that one of you shall be giving Me up."
22 And, sorrowing tremendously each one of them begins to be saying to Him, "It is not I, Lord!"
23 Now He, answering, said, "He who dips his hand with Me in the dish, he will be giving Me up."
24 The Son of Mankind is indeed going away, according as it is written concerning Him, yet woe to that man through whom the Son of Mankind is being given up! Ideal were it for Him if that man were not born!"
25 Now, answering, Judas, who is giving Him up, said, "It is not I, Rabbi!Jesus is saying to him, "You say it."
26 Now at their eating, Jesus, taking the bread, and blessing, breaks it, and, giving to the disciples, said, "Take, eat. This is My body."
27 And taking the cup and giving thanks, He gives it to them, saying, "Drink of it all,
