Matthew 26:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, "Why do you make trouble for the woman? She’s done a good thing for me.

11. You always have the poor with you, but you won’t always have me.

12. By pouring this perfume over my body she’s prepared me to be buried.

13. I tell you the truth that wherever in the whole world this good news is announced, what she’s done will also be told in memory of her."

14. Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

15. and said, "What will you give me if I turn Jesus over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.
