Mark 14:4-17
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
4There were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they scolded her. 6But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. 8She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."
10Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.
11And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.
12And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
13And 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,
14and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’
15And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."
16And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
