2 Tubah 1741
John 12 : 1 - 11
| 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 | But 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. |
| 10 | But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, |
| 11 | because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus. |
