Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 11
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?"
⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
⁷ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.
⁸ For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always."
⁹ Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
