done; she has seized the opportunity to anoint my body beforehand for
burial. (9)Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be

how opportunely he might deliver him up.
(12)And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the
passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and
prepare for thee to eat the passover? (13)And he sent two of his
disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and a man will meet
