Then ,
six days before the Passover ,
Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was ,
whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead .
bbe @
John:12:2 @
So they made him a meal there ,
and he was waited on by Martha ,
and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table .

Then Mary ,
taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value ,
put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair :
and the house became full of the smell of the perfume .

John:12:4 @

Judas Iscariot (
who was to give him up ),
said ,

John:12:5 @
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence ,
and the money given to the poor ?
bbe @
John:12:6 @(
He said this ,
not because he had any love for the poor ;
but because he was a thief ,
and ,
having the money-bag ,
took for himself what was put into it .)

Then Jesus said ,
Let her be .
Let her keep what she has for the day of my death .

but me you have not for ever .

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there :
and they came ,
not only because of Jesus ,
but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life .

John:12:10 @
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death ;
bbe @
John:12:11 @
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus .
