* Six days before the passover , Jesus came to Bethany , where Lazarus was , whom he had raised from the dead . * There they made him a supper , and Martha served : but Lazarus was one of those who were at table with him . * Then Mary , taking a pound of the balsam of spikenard , which was very valuable , anointed the feet of Jesus , and wiped them with her hair , so that the house was filled with the odor of the balsam . * On which , one of his disciples , Judas Iscariot , Simon 's son , who was to betray him , said , * Why was not this balsam sold for three hundred denarii , which might have been given to the poor ? * This he said , not that he cared for the poor , but because he was a thief , and had the purse , and carried what was put in it . * Then Jesus said , lont @John:12:8 " /> * A great number of the Jews , knowing where he was , flocked thither , not on account of Jesus only , but likewise to see Lazarus , whom he had raised from the dead . * The chief priests , therefore , determined to kill Lazarus also ; * because he proved the occasion that many Jews forsook them , and believed on Jesus .
