John 12:1-8 ▼

1 Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus had ben dead, whom he raysed from death.

2 There they made hym a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with hym.

3 Then toke Marie a pounde of oyntment of Spike narde, very costly, and annoynted Iesus feete, and wyped his feete with her heere: and the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.

4 Then sayde one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which shoulde betraye hym.

5 Why was not this oyntment solde for three hundred pence, and geuen to the poore?

6 This he sayde, not that he cared for the poore: but because he was a thiefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geuen.

7 Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone, agaynst the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8 For the poore alwayes shall ye haue with you: but me haue ye not alwayes.
