014:006 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone: why are you troubling her? She has done a most gracious act towards me. 014:007 For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you choose you can do acts of kindness to them; but me you have not always. 014:008 What she could she did: she has perfumed my body in preparation for my burial. 014:009 And I solemnly tell you that wherever in the whole world the Good News shall be proclaimed, this which she has done shall also be told in remembrance of her." 014:010 But Judas Iscariot, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, went to the High Priests to betray Jesus to them. 014:011 They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him. 014:012 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?" 014:013 So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him, 014:014 and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?' 014:015 Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us." 014:016 So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready. 014:017 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve. 014:018 And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me." 014:019 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?" 014:020 "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me. 014:021 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born." 014:022 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body." 014:023 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it. 014:024 "This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure. 014:025 I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God." 014:026 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
