    5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

    6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

    7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

    8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

    9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

    2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

    3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

    4When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

    5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

    6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

    7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.

    8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

    9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

    10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

    11These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

    12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

    13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

    14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

    15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

    16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
