A lot happened on Tuesday, didn't it? Amidst all this, with the talk about the beauty of the Temple and about its destruction, the debates with Jesus' enemies, and so on, Jesus also told the story of the Ten Virgins. He used the illustration of the servants given different amounts of money to invest for the master who will soon return. He taught about the judgment, and about how the Lord would separate the sheep from the goats.

Apparently Jesus ended this busy Tuesday with a dinner at the home of "Simon the Leper." It was here that a woman poured an expensive perfume on Jesus' head. She was, as Jesus said, preparing his body for burial.

All this time an important meeting was being held among Jesus' enemies. They had often plotted to kill him, but had always been unable. The crowds that surround Jesus would cause a riot. But this time they have an advantage. Judas left the dinner at Simon's house and met with the Pharisees. "How much will you give me if I deliver him to you?"
