3 Then the chief priests met with the elders of the people. They met in the palace of Caiaphas, the high priest.
4 They made plans to arrest Jesus in a clever way. They wanted to kill him.
5 "But not during the Feast," they said. "The people may stir up trouble."
6 Jesus was in Bethany. He was in the home of a man named Simon, who had a skin disease.
7 A woman came to Jesus with a special sealed jar of very expensive perfume. She poured the perfume on his head while he was at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they became angry. "Why this waste?" they asked.
9 "The perfume could have been sold at a high price. The money could have been given to poor people."
