Mary Anoints Jesus; Plot to Kill Lazarus

John 12:1-11

12
Chapter 12
1 Then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took a litra of ointment of genuine very precious nard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples—the one who was about to hand him over—says, 5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? 6 But he said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief and, having the moneybag, he used to steal what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial anointing.” 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 9 Therefore a large crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came not because of Jesus only, but in order that they might see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests took counsel so that they might kill Lazarus also. 11 because many of the Jews were going away because of him and believing in Jesus.
