John 12:2-9

2There thereforeG3767 they madeG4160 him a supperG1173, and MarthaG3136 servedG1247, but LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 of those at table with him.

3MaryG3137 thereforeG3767, having takenG2983 a pound of ointment of pureG4101 nardG3487 of great price, anointedG218 the feetG4228 of JesusG2424, and wiped his feetG4228 with her hairG2359, and the houseG3614 was filledG4137 with the odour of the ointment.

4OneG1520 of his disciplesG3101 therefore, JudasG2455 [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliverG3860 him up, saysG3004,

5WhyG5101 was this ointment not sold for threeG5145 hundredG5145 denariiG1220 and givenG1325 to the poorG4434?

6But he saidG3004 this, not that he cared for the poorG4434, but because he wasG1510 a thiefG2812 and had the bag, and carriedG941 what wasG1510 putG906 into [it].

7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Suffer her to have keptG5083 this for the dayG2250 of my preparation for burialG1780;

8for ye have the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 with you, but me ye have not alwaysG3842.

9A greatG4183 crowdG3793 thereforeG3767 of the JewsG2453 knewG1097 that he wasG1510 there; and they cameG2064, not because of JesusG2424 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 that they might seeG3708 LazarusG2976 whom he raisedG1453 from among [the] deadG3498.
