Now when JesuswasinBethany,in the house of Simon the leper,
7
There came unto him a womanhaving an alabaster box of very preciousointment,and poured itonhishead, as he sat at meat.
8
But when hisdisciplessaw it, they had indignation , saying , To what purpose is thiswaste?
9
Forthisointmentmight have been sold for much,andgiven to the poor.
10
WhenJesusunderstood it, he said unto them,Why trouble ye* the woman?for she hath wrought a goodworkuponme.
11
For ye have the pooralwayswithyou;butme ye havenotalways.
12
For in thatshe* hath pouredthisointmentonmybody, she did it formyburial .
13
Verily I say unto you,Wheresoever*thisgospel shall be preachedin the wholeworld, there shall also this, that this woman* hath done , be toldfor a memorial of her.
14
Thenone of the twelve,calledJudasIscariot,wentunto the chief priests,
15
And said unto them, What will yegiveme,and I will deliverhim unto you?And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Andfrom that time he soughtopportunitytobetrayhim.
