Matthew 26:1-8

1 When Yeshua had finished speaking, he said to his talmidim,
2 "As you know, Pesach is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be nailed to the execution-stake."
3 Then the head cohanim and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of Kayafa the cohen hagadol.
4 They made plans to arrest Yeshua surreptitiously and have him put to death;
5 but they said, "Not during the festival, or the people will riot."
6 Yeshua was in Beit-Anyah, at the home of Shim`on, the man who had had tzara'at.
7 A woman who had an alabaster jar filled with very expensive perfume approached Yeshua while he was eating and began pouring it on his head.
8 When the talmidim saw it, they became very angry. "Why this waste?" they asked.
