The Conspiracy against Jesus
Mt
26:1 When Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples, 26:2 "You know that in two days' time it will be Passover, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." 26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 26:4 and they consulted together to arrest Jesus by treachery and put him to death. 26:5 But they said, "Not during the festival, that there may not be a riot among the people."
The Anointing at Bethany.
26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 26:7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of costly perfumed oil, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table. 26:8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, "Why this waste? 26:9 It could have been sold for much, and the money given to the poor." 26:10 Since Jesus knew this, he said to them, "Why do you make trouble for the woman? She has done a good thing for me. 26:11 The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me. 26:12 In pouring this perfumed oil upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 26:13 Amen, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken of, in memory of her."
The Betrayal by Judas.
26:14 Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscar iot, went to the chief priests 26:15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver, 26:16 and from that time on he looked for an opportunity to hand him over.
Mk
14:1 The Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to take place in two days' time. So the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to arrest him by treachery and put him to death. 14:2 They said, "Not during the festival, for fear that there may be a riot among the people."
The Anointing at Bethany.
14:3 When he was in Bethany reclining at table in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of perfumed oil, costly genuine spikenard. She broke the alabaster jar and poured it on his head. 14:4 There were some who were indignant. "Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil? 14:5 It could have been sold for more than three hundred days' wages and the money given to the poor." They were infuriated with her. 14:6 Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you make trouble for her? She has done a good thing for me. 14:7 The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them, but you will not always have me. 14:8 She has done what she could. She has anticipated anointing my body for burial. 14:9 Amen, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed to the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."
The Betrayal by Judas.
14:10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went off to the chief priests to hand him over to them. 14:11 When they heard him they were pleased and promised to pay him money. Then he looked for an opportunity to hand him over.
Lk
22:1 Now the feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was drawing near, 22:2 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to put him to death, for they were afraid of the people. 22:3 Then Satan entered into Judas, the one surnamed Iscariot, who was counted among the Twelve, 22:4 and he went to the chief priests and temple guards to discuss a plan for handing him over to them. 22:5 They were pleased and agreed to pay him money. 22:6 He accepted their offer and sought a favorable opportunity to hand him over to them in the absence of a crowd.
