The Anointing at Bethany
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, awhere Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 aThere they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 Then aMary took a pound of very costly oil of bspikenard, 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, aJudas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for1 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 ahad the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
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, awhom He had raised from the dead.
