1. AND it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
2. You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:
3. Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
4. And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.
5. But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
6. And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
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.
8. And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
