10. But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.
11. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12. In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial.

14. Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15. and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver.
16. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.
17. Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18. He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’”
19. And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

22. And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”
23. He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me.
