Mark 14:1-11
It was two days before the Passover and the festival of
Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to
arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him; for they said, ‘Not during the festival,
or there may be a riot among the people.’
While he was at
Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came
with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the
jar and poured the ointment on his head. But some were there who said to one
another in anger, ‘Why was the ointment wasted in this way? For this ointment
could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and the money given
to the poor.’ And they scolded her. But Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why do you
trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. For you always have the
poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you
will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body
beforehand for its burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is
proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of
her.’
Then Judas Iscariot,
who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to
them. When they heard it, they were greatly pleased, and promised to give him
money. So he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.

If you don't like what he's doing or saying, why not simply quit following Jesus? Why betray him?
