    3¶ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

    4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

    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.)

    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.

Selected passage

7:37And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

7:38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

7:39Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

7:40And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

7:41There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

7:42And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

7:43Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

7:44And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

7:45Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

7:46My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
