Then the King shall say to those on His right, Come, ye blessed of my
Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the
world. For I was hungry and ye gave me food. I was thirsty and ye gave
me drink. I was a stranger and ye took me in. I was naked and ye
clothed me. I was sick and ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came
to me.
Then the righteous shall ask Him, Lord, when did we see thee hungry and
feed thee? Or thirsty and gave thee drink? When did we see thee a
stranger and take thee in? Or naked and clothe thee? When did we see
thee sick, or in prison and come to thee? The King shall answer,
Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least
of my brethren, ye have done it to me.
Then He shall say to those on the left, Depart from me into the
everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry
and ye gave me no food. I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink. I was a
stranger and ye did not take me in. I was naked and ye did not clothe
me. I was sick and in prison and ye did not visit me.
Then they shall also ask Him, Lord, when did we see thee hungry or
thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and not
minister unto thee? He shall answer them, Inasmuch as ye did not do
these things to one of the least of my brethren, ye did not do it to
me. These shall go to everlasting punishment. And the righteous shall
have life eternal.

It came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings He said to
His disciples, In two days is the feast of the passover. The Son of man
will be betrayed and crucified.
At the same time the chief priests, scribes, and elders of the people
held a meeting in the palace of the high priest, Caiaphas. They
discussed how they might take Jesus by stealth and kill Him. But they
said, It cannot happen on the feast day lest there be an uproar among
the people.
Jesus was now in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper. There He was
approached by a woman carrying an alabaster box containing very
precious ointment. She, then, annointed His head as He sat at dinner.
When His disciples saw it they were indignant and said, To what purpose
is this waste? This ointment could have been sold for much and the
money given to the poor. When Jesus overheard them He said, Why bother
this woman? She has wrought a good work upon me. The poor ye have
always with you; but me ye have not always. In annointing me, she
prepared me for my burial. Anywhere in the world this gospel is
preached it shall also be told what this woman has done.
Then, one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. He
asked, What will ye give me if I will deliver Jesus unto you? They
agreed on thirty pieces of silver and, from that time, Judas looked for
an opportunity to betray Him.
