John 12:2-9

2SoG3767 theyG846 madeG4160 himG846 aG1510 supperG1173 thereG1563: andG2532 MarthaG3136 servedG1247; butG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 thatG846 sat at meatG3588 withG4862 himG846.

3MaryG3137 thereforeG3767 tookG2983 a poundG3046 ofG1537 ointmentG3464 ofG1537 spikenard, veryG846 preciousG4186, andG2532 anointedG218 theG3588 feetG4228 ofG1537 JesusG2424, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG4228 withG1537 herG846 hairG2359: andG2532 theG3588 houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 theG3588 odour ofG1537 theG3588 ointmentG3464.

4ButG1161 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, oneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101, whichG3588 should betrayG3860 himG846, saith,

5WhyG5101 was notG3756 thisG3778 ointmentG3464 soldG4097 forG1223 threeG5145 hundredG5145 pence, andG2532 givenG1325 toG2532 theG3588 poorG4434?

6NowG1161 thisG3778 heG2532 saidG3004, notG3756 becauseG3754 heG2532 cared forG3754 theG3588 poorG4434; butG1161 becauseG3754 heG2532 wasG1510 a thiefG2812, andG2532 havingG2192 theG3588 bag took awayG941 whatG3588 wasG1510 putG906 therein.

7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Suffer herG846 toG1519 keepG5083 itG846 againstG1519 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG2250 myG5083 burying.

8ForG1063 theG3588 poorG4434 ye have alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1473 ye have notG3756 alwaysG3842.

9TheG3588 common peopleG3793 thereforeG3767 ofG1537 theG3588 JewsG2453 learnedG1097 thatG3754 heG2532 wasG1510 thereG1563: andG2532 theyG3767 cameG2064, notG3756 forG3754 Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG3754 theyG3767 mightG2532 seeG3708 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532, whomG3739 heG2532 had raisedG1453 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498.
