Part 20

43:011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

43:011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

43:011:054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

43:011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

43:011:056 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

43:011:057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

43:012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

43:012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

43:012:003 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

43:012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

43:012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

43:012:006 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

43:012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

43:012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

43:012:009 Much people of the Jews therefore knew 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.

43:012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

43:012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

43:012:012 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

43:012:013 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

43:012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

43:012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

43:012:016 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.

43:012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

43:012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

43:012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

43:012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

43:012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

43:012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
