These shall go to everlasting punishment. And the righteous shall
have life eternal.
26 It came to pass, when Jesus finished instructing His
disciples, He said, The feast of the passover is in two days. The Son
of man will be betrayed and crucified.
The chief priests, scribes, and elders of the people held a meeting in
the palace of the high priest, Caiaphas. They discussed how they might
take Jesus by stealth and kill Him. But they said, It cannot happen on
the feast day lest there be an uproar among the people.
Jesus was now in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper. There He was
approached by a woman carrying an alabaster box containing very
precious ointment. She annointed His head as He sat at dinner. When His
disciples saw it they were indignant and said, To what purpose is this
waste? This ointment could have been sold for much and the money given
to the poor.
When Jesus overheard them He said, Why bother this woman? She has
wrought a good work upon me. The poor you have always to care for; but
you will not always have me. In annointing me, she prepared me for my
burial. Anywhere in the world this gospel is preached it will also be
told what this woman has done.
Then, one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. He
asked, What will you give me if I will deliver Jesus to you? They
agreed on thirty pieces of silver and, from that time, Judas looked for
an opportunity to betray Him.
