1 Now the feast of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread was two days later. So the high priests and scribes kept looking for some way to arrest Him by stratagem and have Him put to death,
2 for they kept saying, "It must not be at the feast, for there might be a riot."
3 While He was in Bethany, He was a guest in the home of Simon the leper, and as He was sitting at table, a woman came in with an alabaster bottle of pure nard perfume, very costly; she broke the bottle and poured the perfume on His head.
4 But some of the guests were indignantly saying to themselves, "Why was such a waste of the perfume made?
5 It might have been sold for more than sixty dollars, and the money have been given to the poor." So they kept on grumbling at her.
6 But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you embarrass her? She has done a good deed to me.
7 For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you please you can do them good, but you will not always have me.
8 She has done all she could; she has beforehand perfumed my body for my burial.
9 I solemnly say to you, all over the world wherever this good news is proclaimed, the deed that she has done will also be told, in memory of her."
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the high priests to betray Him to them.
11 They were delighted to hear it, and promised to pay him for it. So he kept looking for a good opportunity to betray Him to them.
12 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the usual time for killing the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked Him, "Where do you want us to go and get the Passover supper ready for you to eat?"
13 So He sent off two of His disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 and whatever house he goes into, tell the owner that the Teacher asks, 'Where is my room where I may eat the Passover supper with my disciples?'
15 Then he will show you a large upstairs room, furnished and ready; get everything ready for us there."
