Matthew
26
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?
[..]
10 However,
knowing this, Jesus said to them,
“Why do you
trouble the woman?
She has done a good work for me.
[..]
14 Then one of the twelve, who was
called Judas Iscariot,
went to the chief priests 15 and
said, “What are you willing
to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces
of silver.
[..]
22 They
were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask
him, “It
isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23 He
answered, “He who dipped
his hand with me in the
dish will betray me.
[..]
31 Then
Jesus said to them, “All of you will be
made to stumble because of me
tonight, for it is written,
‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But
after I am raised up, I will go before
you into Galilee.”
33 But
Peter answered him, “Even if all will be
made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
