20 Babah 1742
Matthew 26 : 3 - 16
| 3 | Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, |
| 4 | and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. |
| 5 | But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people." |
| 6 | And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, |
| 7 | a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. |
| 8 | But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? |
| 9 | For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor." |
| 10 | But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. |
| 11 | For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. |
| 12 | For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. |
| 13 | Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her." |
| 14 | Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests |
| 15 | and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. |
| 16 | So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. |
