11. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.
12. For when this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did it in order to prepare me for burial.

17. Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18. And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.” ’
