1 Now it was the Passover and the Unleavened [cakes], after two days. And the High–priests and Scribes were seeking, how, with guile, they might secure, and lay him;
2 for they were saying––Not in the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster–jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down [the perfume], upon his head.
4 But there were some much displeased among themselves––To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
5 For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with her.
6 But, Jesus, said––Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;
7 For, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, [at any time] do well! But, me, not, always, have ye.
8 What she had, she used,––She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;
9 And, verily, say unto you––Wheresoever the glad–message shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world,––also what she did, will be told for a memorial of her.
10 And, Judas Iscariot, who was one of he twelve, went away unto the High–priests, that, him, he might deliver up unto them.
11 Now, when they heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him, silver; and he was seeking how, at a favourable opportunity, he might, deliver him up.
12 And, on the first day of the unleavened cakes, when, the passover, they were slaying, his disciples say unto him––Where wilt thou, we depart and make ready, that thou mayest eat the passover? 13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them––Go your way into the city, and there will meet you a man, a jar of water, bearing,––follow him; 14 and, wheresoever he shall enter, say ye unto the householder––The teacher, saith, Where is my lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat? 15 And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper–room, spread ready, and, there, make ye ready for us.
