Matthew 26:1-13

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

2 "You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over in order to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,

4 and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill [him].

5 But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."

6 Now [while] Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

7 a woman came up to him holding an alabaster flask of very expensive perfumed oil, and poured [it] out on his head [while he] was reclining at table.

8 And [when] the disciples saw [it] they were indignant, saying, "{Why} this waste?

9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!"

10 But Jesus, knowing [this], said to them, "Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.

11 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.

12 For [when] this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] in order to prepare me for burial.

13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

New International Version NIV

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,

2 “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.

5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.

9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

11 The poor you will always have with you,but you will not always have me.

12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
