1 When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
2 "You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
5 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people."
6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8 But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and given to the poor."
10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.
11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 For in pouring this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
18 He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
20 When evening had come, he sat at the table with the twelve.
21 And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
22 And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"
23 He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
24 The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
25 Then Judas, who was betraying him, answered, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and 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 from it, all of you.
