¹ Jesus therefore went six days before the Passover to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, and whom he had raised from the dead. ² So they made him a supper there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who were at the table with him. ³ Then Mary, taking a bundle of pure spikenard ointment, very expensive, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the smell of the ointment. ⁴ Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, who was about to betray him, said: ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pieces of money and given to the poor? ⁶ Now, he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and took out what was thrown there. ⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her alone; for the day of my burial he kept this; ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. ⁹ And many people of the Jews heard that he was there; and they went, not only for Jesus' sake, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also; ¹¹ For many of the Jews, because of him, went and believed in Jesus.
