John:12:1-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ?
*
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 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 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 .
