bbe John:12:1-11
bbe@John:12:1 @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.
bbe@John:12:3 @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.
bbe@John:12:4 @But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
bbe@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.)
bbe@John:12:7 @Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
bbe@John:12:8 @The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
bbe@John:12:9 @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.
bbe@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.
