¶ And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

    1AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

    2Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

    3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

    7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

    9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

    11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

    12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

    19And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

    20Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

    21And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
