- There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
- Then Mary took 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 odor of the ointment.
- Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to 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 bore what was put in it.
- Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.
- For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
- Many 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, many people that had 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 his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him.
- The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
- 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.
