3 At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest.
4 They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death.
5 But they said, “We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot.”
6 Jesus was in the town of Bethany, eating at the home of Simon, who had leprosy.
7 A woman came in with a bottle of expensive perfume and poured it on Jesus' head.
8 But when his disciples saw this, they became angry and complained, “Why such a waste?
9 We could have sold this perfume for a lot of money and given it to the poor.”
