Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 13
³⁵ Therefore, be on the alert-for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning-
³⁶ in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep.
³⁷ What I say to you I say to all, ’Be on the alert!’"
Mark 14
¹ Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him;
² for they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people."
³ While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.
⁴ But some were indignantly remarking to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?
⁵ For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.
⁶ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.
⁷ For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.
⁸ She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
