2 Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

4 and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

5 but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.

7 a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.

8 But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end {was} this waste?

9 for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.

10 But Jesus knowing {it} said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

12 For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.

13 Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this {woman} has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

16 And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

18 And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.

20 And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.

21 And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

22 And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it *I*, Lord?

23 But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.

24 The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

25 And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it *I*, Rabbi? He says to him, *Thou* hast said.

27 And having taken {the} cup and given thanks, he gave {it} to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.

28 For this is my blood, that of the {new} covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

2 Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.

3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

4 and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill [him],

5 and they said, Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.

6 And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat).

8 And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?

9 for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 And Jesus having known, said to them, Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

11 for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;

12 for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my burial she did [it].

13 Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this [one] did shall also be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, said,

15 What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings,

16 and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up.

17 And on the first [day] of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou [that] we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?

18 and he said, Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;

19 and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover.

20 And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve,

21 and while they are eating, he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

22 And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, Is it I, Sir?

23 And he answering said, He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up;

24 the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.

25 And Judas -- he who delivered him up -- answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him, Thou hast said.

26 And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body;

27 and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, Drink ye of it -- all;

28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out -- to remission of sins;
