John:12:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then ,
six days before the Passover ,
Jesus came to Bethany ,
where Lazarus was who had been dead ,
whom He had raised from the dead .
*
There they made Him a supper ;
and Martha served ,
but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him .
*
Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard ,
anointed the feet of Jesus ,
and wiped His feet with her hair .
And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil .
*
But one of His disciples ,
Judas Iscariot ,
Simon '
s son ,
who would betray Him ,
said ,
* "
Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor ?"
*
This he said ,
not that he cared for the poor ,
but because he was a thief ,
and had the money box ;
and he used to take what was put in it .
*
But Jesus said , "
Let her alone ;
she has kept this for the day of My burial .
*
For the poor you have with you always ,
but Me you do not have always ."
*
Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there ;
and they came ,
not for Jesus '
sake only ,
but that they might also see Lazarus ,
whom He had raised from the dead .
*
But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also ,
*
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus .
