1 When Jesus had ended this discourse, He said to His disciples,
2 "You know that in two days the Passover Feast will take place, and the Son of Man will be turned over to be crucified."
3 Then the high priests and the elders of the people met in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 and plotted to arrest Jesus by stratagem and put Him to death.
5 But they kept saying, "It must not be at the feast, for a riot may break out among the people."
6 When Jesus came back to Bethany, to the home of Simon the leper,
7 a woman with an alabaster bottle of very costly perfume came up to Him while He was at table and poured it upon His head.
8 When the disciples saw it, they were very indignant, and said, "Why such waste?
9 Surely it could have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor."
10 But Jesus, because He understood them, said to them, "Why do you embarrass the woman? She has done a good deed to me,
11 for you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.
12 For in putting this perfume on my body she has done it to prepare me for my burial.
13 I solemnly say to you, all over the world wherever this good news is proclaimed, the good deed that she has done will be told, in memory of her."
14 Then one of the Twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests,
15 and said, "What will you give me to turn Him over to you?" Then they paid him thirty pieces of silver.
16 So from that time he kept looking for a good opportunity to turn Him over to them.
17 On the first day of the Passover Feast the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to get the Passover supper ready for you to eat?"
18 And He said, "Go into the city, to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"
19 So the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and got the Passover supper ready.
20 When evening came, He was sitting at the table with the Twelve.
21 And while they were eating, He said, "I solemnly say to you, one of you is going to betray me."
22 They were cut to the bottom of their hearts, and began to ask one by one, "It cannot be I, can it, Lord?"
23 He answered, "The man who has just dipped his hand with me in the dish is the man who is going to betray me.
24 The Son of Man is going away as the Scriptures say of Him, but a curse will be on that man by whom He is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had never been born!"
25 Then Judas, who afterward betrayed Him, answered by asking, "It cannot be I, can it, Rabbi?" Jesus answered him, "Yes, you are the man."
26 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf and blessed it; then He broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take this and eat it; this is my body."
27 He also took the cup of wine and gave thanks; then He gave it to them, saying, "All of you drink some of it,
