But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"  26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?"

"Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"   18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Matthew 22, mc 22.15-24.1, vv 22.15-18

  14. Matthew 26.6-10 6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.   8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. 9"This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor." 10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman?
