³⁶ And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

³ And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

⁴ and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

⁵ for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.

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

⁷ for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

⁸ what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

⁹ Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

⁵ and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.'

⁶ And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

³⁷ And in `his' speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

¹ And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

³⁴ the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

² and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

³ therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

⁴ and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

⁵ And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁶ when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁷ then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'

⁸ the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

⁹ Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰ and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

¹¹ These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'

¹² therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'

¹³ but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴ Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵ and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

¹⁶ therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'
