John

But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus" sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon"s son, which should betray him,

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

And the Jews" passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
