Matthew 26:6-16

6WhileG1161 JesusG2424 wasG1096 inG1722 BethanyG963 inG1722 the homeG3614 of SimonG4613 theG3588 LeperG3015,1 7a womanG1135 cameG4334 to HimG846 withG2192 an alabaster jarG211 of expensiveG927 perfumeG3464, which she pouredG2708 onG1909 HisG846 headG2776 as He reclined at the tableG345.

8WhenG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 saw thisG3708, they were indignantG23 and askedG3004, “WhyG1519G5101 thisG3778 wasteG684? 9ThisG3778 perfume couldG1410 have been soldG4097 at a high priceG4183, andG2532 the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434.”

Aware of thisG1097, JesusG2424 askedG2036, “WhyG5101 are you botheringG3930G2873 this womanG1135? She has doneG2038 a beautifulG2570 deedG2041 toG1519 MeG1473. 11TheG3588 poorG4434 you will always haveG3842G2192 withG3326 youG1438,2 butG1161 you will notG3756 alwaysG3842 haveG2192 MeG1473. 12By pouringG906 thisG3778 perfumeG3464 onG1909 MeG1473, she has preparedG4160 MyG1473G3588 bodyG4983 forG4314 burialG1779. 13TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, whereverG3699G1437 thisG3778 gospelG2098 is preachedG2784 inG1722 allG3650 theG3588 worldG2889, whatG3739 sheG3778 has doneG4160 will also be toldG2532G2980 inG1519 memory ofG3422 herG846.”

14ThenG5119 oneG1520 of theG3588 TwelveG1427, theG3588 one calledG3004 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, wentG4198 toG4314 theG3588 chief priestsG749 15and askedG2036, “WhatG5101 are you willingG2309 to giveG1325 meG1473 if IG2504 handG3860 Him overG846 to youG4771?” AndG1161 they set outG2476 for himG846 thirtyG5144 pieces of silverG694. 16SoG2532 fromG575 then onG5119 Judas looked forG2212 an opportunityG2120 toG2443 betrayG3860 Jesus.
