Matthew 26:1-16

The Plot to Kill Jesus

¹^aNow it happened that when Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples, 2 “^aYou know that after two days ^bthe Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be ^cdelivered over for crucifixion.”
3 ^aThen the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in ^bthe court of the high priest, named ^cCaiaphas; 4 and they ^aplotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him. 5 But they were saying, “Not during the festival, ^alest a riot occur among the people.”

The Costly Perfume

6 ^aNow when Jesus was in ^bBethany, at the home of Simon the leper, 7 ^aa woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. 8 But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good work to Me. 11 For you always have ^athe poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it ^ato prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, ^awherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

Judas Looks to Betray Jesus

14 ^aThen one of the twelve, named ^bJudas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me ¹to ^adeliver Him to you?” And ^bthey weighed out ²thirty pieces of silver to him. 16 And from then on he began looking for a good opportunity to ¹betray ²Jesus.

Luke 22:1-6

The Plot to Kill Jesus

^aNow the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the ^bPassover, was drawing near. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes ^awere seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.
3 ^aAnd ^bSatan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, who ¹belonged to the number of the twelve. 4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and ^aofficers how he might betray Him to them. 5 And they were glad and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them ¹apart from the crowd.

John 12:1-11

Mary Anoints Jesus with Costly Perfume

^aJesus, therefore, six days before ^bthe Passover, came to ^cBethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they made Him a supper there, and ^aMartha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. 3 ^aMary then took a ¹litra of ^bperfume of very costly pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But ^aJudas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was going to ¹betray Him, *said, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold for ¹three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he ^ahad the money box, he used to take from ^bwhat was put into it. 7 Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for ^athe day of My burial. 8 ^aFor you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
9 Then the ^alarge crowd from the Jews learned that He was there. And they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might also see Lazarus, ^bwhom He raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also; 11 because ^aon account of him ^bmany of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
