26:1. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
26:2. You know that after two days shall be the pasch: and the Son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified.
26:3. Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people, into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
26:4. And they consulted together that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death.
26:5. But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
26:6. And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
26:7. There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table.
26:8. And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
26:9. For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
