Plot to Kill Jesus and the Anointing at Bethany

Mark 14:1-11

14
Chapter 14
1 Now it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, having seized him by guile, they might kill him. 2 For they were saying, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people." 3 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment of genuine nard, very precious. She broke the alabaster jar and poured it on his head. 4 But some were indignant among themselves: "To what purpose has this destruction of the ointment been?" 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they were indignant at her. 6 But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you cause her trouble? She has done a good work for me." 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish, you can do good to them; but me you do not always have. 8 She has done what she could; she has anticipated anointing my body for the entombment. 9 Amen, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of, in memory of her. 10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order that he might hand him over to them. 11 And those who heard rejoiced and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might hand him over at an opportune time.
