* THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days . The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him . * For they said , "Not at the feast ; there might be a popular outbreak ." * During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper , while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume , very costly . She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head . * Some were indignant among themselves and said , "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume ? * This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor ." So they were indignant at her . * But Jesus said , riversident @Mark:14:7 " /> riversident @Mark:14:8 " /> riversident @Mark:14:9 " /> * Then Judas Iscariot , who was one of the twelve , went away to the high priests to betray him to them . * They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money . He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time .
