John 12: 1
- 11
|
| 1 |
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to
Bethany, where Laz'arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
|
| 2 |
There they made him a supper; Martha served,
and Laz'arus was one of those at table with him. |
| 3 |
Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure
nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the
house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. |
| 4 |
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he
who was to betray him), said, |
| 5 |
"Why was this ointment not sold for three
hundred denarii and given to the poor?" |
| 6 |
This he said, not that he cared for the poor
but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was
put into it. |
| 7 |
Jesus said, "Let her alone, let her keep it
for the day of my burial. |
| 8 |
The poor you always have with you, but you
do not always have me." |
| 9 |
When the great crowd of the Jews learned
that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see
Laz'arus, whom he had raised from the dead. |
| 10 |
So the chief priests planned to put Laz'arus
also to death, |
| 11 |
because on account of him many of the Jews
were going away and believing in Jesus. |
