Matthew 26:7-19
-
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
-
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
-
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
-
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
-
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
-
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
-
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
-
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
-
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
-
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
-
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
-
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
-
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
