New International Reader's Version

Matthew 26:10-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. Jesus was aware of this. So he said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

11. You will always have poor people with you. But you will not always have me.

12. She poured the perfume on my body to prepare me to be buried.

13. What I'm about to tell you is true. What she has done will be told anywhere this good news is preached all over the world. It will be told in memory of her."

14. One of the Twelve went to the chief priests. His name was Judas Iscariot.

15. He asked, "What will you give me if I hand Jesus over to you?" So they counted out 30 silver coins for him.

16. From then on, Judas watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them.
