^{1 Ref} Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

^{2 Ref} So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.

^{3 Ref} Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

^{4 Ref} But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,

^{5 Ref} Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?

^{6 Ref} Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.

^{7 Ref} Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.

^{8 Ref} For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.

^{9 Ref} The common people therefore of the Jews learned 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.

^{10 Ref} But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;

^{11 Ref} because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

^{12 Ref} On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

^{13 Ref} took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed `is' he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.

^{14 Ref} And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

^{15 Ref} Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

^{16 Ref} These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

^{17 Ref} The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.

^{18 Ref} For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.

^{19 Ref} The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.
