Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 11
⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.
⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.
⁵⁶ So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"
⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.
John 12
¹ Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
² So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
³ Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, *said,
⁵ "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"
⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
⁷ Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.
