¹Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to seize Him by craftiness and kill Him,

For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be a tumult by the people.

 ¹And while He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He reclined at table, a woman came, having an alabaster flask of ointment, of very costly pure nard, and she broke the alabaster flask and poured it over His head.

But there were some who were indignantly commenting among themselves: Why has this waste of the ointment  ¹been made?

For this ointment could have been sold for over three hundred  ¹denarii and given to the poor. And they were infuriated with her.

But Jesus said, Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a noble deed on Me.

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you do not always have  ¹Me.

 ¹She has done what she could; she has  ²anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

And truly I say to you, Wherever the gospel is  ¹proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told as a memorial of her.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests to deliver Him up to them.

And when they heard this, they rejoiced and promised to give him  ¹money. And he sought a way to  ²deliver Him up opportunely.

And on the first day of the  ¹Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they  ²sacrificed the passover, His disciples said to Him, Where do You want us to go and prepare so that You may eat the passover?

And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him;

And wherever he enters, say to the  ¹master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is My guest room, where I may eat the passover with My disciples?

And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. And there prepare for us.

And the disciples went out and came into the city and found it even as He had told them, and they prepared the passover.

And when evening fell, He came with the twelve.

And as they were reclining at table and  ¹eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you that  ²one of you will betray Me, one who is eating with Me.

They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, Surely not  ¹I?

And He said to them, It will be one of the twelve,  ¹one who dips with Me in the dish.

For the Son of Man is  ¹going away, even as it is written concerning Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

 ¹And as they were  ²eating, He took bread and blessed it, and He broke it and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is My body.

And He took a cup and gave thanks, and He gave it to them; and they all drank of it.

And He said to them, This is My blood of the  ¹covenant, which is being poured out for many.

Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink of the  ¹product of the vine anymore until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no work of labor. It is a day of blowing of trumpets for you.

These you shall offer to Jehovah in your appointed  ¹feasts, besides your vows and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings and for your meal offerings and for your drink offerings and for your peace offerings.

And Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is what Jehovah has commanded:

When a man vows a  ¹vow to Jehovah or swears an oath to bind himself by pledge, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

But when a  ¹woman vows a vow to Jehovah or binds herself by pledge in her  ¹father's house in her youth,

And her father hears of her vow or her pledge by which she has bound herself, and her father is silent with respect to her; then all her vows will stand, and any pledge by which she has bound herself will stand.

But if her father disallows her on the day he hears, none of her vows or of her pledges by which she has bound herself will stand; and Jehovah will forgive her because her father disallowed her.

And if she gets married, while her vows are upon her or the rash utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself,

And her  ¹husband hears of it and is silent with respect to her on the day he hears it, then her vows will stand and her pledges by which she has bound herself will stand.

But if, on the day her husband hears of it, he disallows her, then he makes void her vow which is upon her and the rash utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself; and Jehovah will forgive her.

But the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, everything by which she has bound herself, will stand against her.

And if she vowed in her husband's house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath,

And her husband heard of it and was silent with respect to her and did not disallow her, then all her vows will stand and any pledge by which she has bound herself will stand.

But if her husband made them null and void on the day he heard of it, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the pledging of herself will not stand; her husband has made them void, and Jehovah will forgive her.

As for every vow and every binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish it or her husband may make it void.

But if her husband is completely silent with respect to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges which are upon her; he has established them because he was silent with respect to her on the day he heard it.

But if he makes them null and void some time after he has heard of it, then he shall bear her iniquity.

These are the statutes which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter while in her youth in her father's house.
