013:028 "Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near; 013:029 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors. 013:030 Most certainly I say to you, this generation{The word translated "generation" (genea) could also be translated "race," "family," or "people."} will not pass away until all these things happen. 013:031 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 013:032 But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 013:033 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don't know when the time is. 013:034 "It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. 013:035 Watch therefore, for you don't know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning; 013:036 lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping. 013:037 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch." 014:001 It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him. 014:002 For they said, "Not during the feast, because there might be a riot of the people." 014:003 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard--very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head. 014:004 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted? 014:005 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii,{300 denarii was about a years wages for an agricultural laborer.} and given to the poor." They grumbled against her. 014:006 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me. 014:007 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me. 014:008 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying. 014:009 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her." 014:010 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them. 014:011 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
