John - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
- And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
- Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, 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 one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
- Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
- Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
- Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
- For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
- A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
- But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:
- Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
- And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.
- And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:
- Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
- These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
- The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.
- For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
- The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.
- Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
