Matthew 26:6-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And when יהושע was in Bĕyth Anyah at the house of Shim‛on the leper,

7. a woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

8. And when His taught ones saw it, they were much displeased saying, “To what purpose is this waste?

9. “For this perfume could have been sold for much and given to the poor.”

10. However, when יהושע noticed it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work toward Me.

11. “For you always have the poor with you, but Me you do not have always.

12. “For in pouring this perfume on My body, she did it for My burial.

13. “Truly, I say to you, wherever this Good News is proclaimed in all the world, what this woman has done shall be spoken of also, to her remembrance.”

14. Then one of the twelve, called Yehuḏah from Qerioth, went to the chief priests,

15. and said, “What would you give me to deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

16. And from then on he was seeking an occasion to deliver Him up.

17. And on the first day of Unleavened Bread the taught ones came to יהושע, saying to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18. And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am to observe the Passover at your house with My taught ones.” ’ ”

19. And the taught ones did as יהושע had ordered them, and prepared the Passover.

20. And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.

21. And while they were eating, He said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you shall deliver Me up.”

22. And they were deeply grieved, and began to say to Him, each of them, “Master, is it I?”

23. And He answering, said, “He who has dipped his hand with Me in the dish, he shall deliver Me up.

24. “Indeed, the Son of Aḏam goes as it has been written concerning Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Aḏam is delivered up! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
