John 12:2-9

2ThereG1563 they madeG4160 himG846 a supperG1173; andG2532 MarthaG3588G3136 servedG1247: butG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 of them that sat at the tableG4873 with himG846.

3ThenG3767 tookG2983 MaryG3137 a poundG3046 of ointmentG3464 of spikenardG3487, very costlyG4186, and anointedG218 the feetG3588G4228 of JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 withG3588G2359 herG846 hairG3588G2359: andG1161 the houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 the odourG3588G3744 of the ointmentG3588G3464.

4ThenG3767 saithG3004 oneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, Simon’sG4613 son, which shouldG3195 betrayG3860 himG846,

5Why wasG5101 notG3756 thisG3778 ointmentG3588G3464 soldG4097 forG1223 three hundredG5145 penceG1220, andG2532 givenG1325 to the poorG4434?

6ThisG3778 he saidG3004, notG3756 thatG3754 heG846 caredG3199 forG4012 the poorG3588G4434; butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG1510 a thiefG2812, andG2532 hadG2192 the bagG3588G1101, andG2532 bareG941 what was put thereinG3588G906.

7ThenG3767 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424, LetG863 herG846 aloneG863: againstG1519 the dayG3588G2250 ofG3588G1780 myG1473 buryingG3588G1780 hath she keptG5083 thisG846.

8ForG1063 the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 ye haveG2192 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1473 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.

9MuchG4183 peopleG3793 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 knewG1097 thatG3754 he wasG1510 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG2064 notG3756 forG1223 Jesus’G3588G2424 sakeG1223 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 they might seeG3708 LazarusG3588G2976 alsoG2532, whomG3739 he had raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
