(6)Now when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, (7)there came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious aromatic ointment, and poured it upon his head as he sat at table. (8)But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, For what end is this waste? (9)For this ointment might have been sold for a considerable sum, and given to the poor. (10)Then Jesus knowing it, said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath performed a good act upon me: (11)for the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always: (12)for in pouring this odoriferous ointment on my body, she hath done it for my burial. (13)Verily I say unto you, Wherever this Gospel is preached through the whole world, what she hath done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her. (14)Then went one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, (15)and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? Then they placed before him thirty pieces of silver. (16)And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them. (17)Then on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? (18)And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house. (19)And his disciples did as Jesus commanded them; and they made ready the passover. (20)And when the evening was come, he sat down at table with the twelve. (21)And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. (22)And exceedingly grieved, they began to say to him every one of them, Lord, am I the person? (23)But he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me into the dish, that man shall betray me. (24)The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being. (25)Then Judas, who betrayed him, addressing him said, Master, is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast named the person. (26)Then as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessing, brake, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. (27)And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this: (28)for this is my blood, that _blood_ of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. (29)And I tell you, That I will no more henceforth drink of this produce of the vine, until that day when I drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father. (30)And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
