1 And after two days was the feast of the passover and of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might apprehend him by subtlety, and put him to death.
2 But they said, Not at the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people.
3 And he being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very costly; and shaking the box, she poured it on his head.
4 But there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured at her.
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone: why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor always with you, and when ye will, ye may do them good; but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she hath before-hand embalmed my body for the burial.
9 Verily I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, what she hath done shall be spoken of also, for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
11 And hearing it they were glad, and promised to give him mony. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayst eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the man of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready for us.
