Matthew 26:6-16

6But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,

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

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

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

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

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

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

13Verily 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.

14Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests

15and 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.

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