Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 11
⁵² and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
⁵³ Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.
⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.
⁵⁵ And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
⁵⁶ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"
⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.
John 12
¹ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
² There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
³ 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.
⁴ Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
⁵ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
