1. When Yeshua had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
2. “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3. Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4. They took counsel together that they might take Yeshua by deceit, and kill him.
5. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
6. Now when Yeshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7. a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
8. But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
9. For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
10. However, knowing this, Yeshua said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
