- Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
- So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
- Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume 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 perfume.
- But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,
- "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"
|
- Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
- There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
- Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
- Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
- Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
|
- Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
- Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.
- "For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me."
- The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.
- But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;
|
- This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
- Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
- For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
- Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
- But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
|
- because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
- On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."
- Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
- "FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."
|
- Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
- On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
- And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
- Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
|
- These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
- So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.
- For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
- So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."
|
- These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
- The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
- For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
- The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
