(6)And Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, (7)there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he reclined at table. (8)And his disciples seeing it were displeased, saying: To what purpose is this waste? (9)For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. (10)And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why trouble ye the woman? For she wrought a good work upon me. (11)For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. (12)For she, in pouring this ointment on my body, did it to prepare me for burial. (13)Verily I say to you, wherever this good news shall be preached in the whole world, this also that she did shall be told, for a memorial of her. (14)Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, (15)and said: What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they weighed out to him thirty pieces of silver. (16)And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him up. (17)And on the first day of the feast 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 to such a man, and say to him: The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. (19)And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover. (20)And when evening was come, he reclined at table with the twelve. (21)And as they were eating, he said: Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me. (22)And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began to say to him, each one: Lord, is it I? (23)And he answering said: He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me. (24)The Son of man goes indeed, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born. (25)And Judas, his betrayer, answering said: Rabbi, is it I? He says to him: Thou saidst it. (26)And as they were eating, Jesus took the loaf[26:26], and blessed, and broke, and gave to the disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body. (27)And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink all ye of it. (28)For this is my blood of the new covenant[26:28], which is shed for many, for remission of sins. (29)And I say to you, that I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father. (30)And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives. (31)Then Jesus says to them: All ye will be offended because of me this night. For it is written: I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. (32)But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
