10. But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.
11. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.
12. For when this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did it in order to prepare me for burial.
13. Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
14. Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15. and said, “What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?” So they set out for him thirty silver coins.
16. And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.
17. Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18. And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.” ’
19. And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
20. And when it was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.
21. And while they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.”
22. And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I, Lord?”
23. And he answered and said, “The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me.
24. The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”
25. And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and said, “Surely I am not he, am I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
26. Now while they were eating Jesus took bread and, after giving thanks, he broke it, and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.”
27. And after taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you,
28. for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
