Us when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples, we know that after two days should be the Passover, and the Son of Man should be delivered up to be

crucified. Then they will gather together the chief priests and the ancients of the people into the the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas. And they consulted together that by subtlety they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death.

But they said not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people. Jesus was in Bifania in the house of Simon the leper, the cain room woman having an alabaster box of precious lightment and poured it on his head as he was at table, and the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying to what purposes this waste, but it might have been

sold for much given to the poor. And Jesus knowing it said to them, why do you trouble this woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon me, for the poor you have always with you, but me you have not always, for she in pouring this oint but upon my body have done it for my burial.
