1
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,
2
Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3
Then the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders of the people assembled together in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4
and took counsel that they might take Jesus by guile and kill
him.
5
But they said, Not on the feast
day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7
a woman came unto him having an alabaster box of very precious ointment and poured it on his head as he sat
at the table.
8
But when his disciples saw
it, they became indignant, saying, To what purpose
is this waste?
9
For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
