John 12:1-8

Wycliffe Bible

12 Therefore Jesus before six days of pask came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead [where Lazarus was dead], whom Jesus raised.

² And they made to him a supper there, and Martha ministered to him; and Lazarus was one of the men that sat at the meat with him.

³ Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard precious [Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment spikenard, or true nard, precious], and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.

⁴ Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,

⁵ Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men [and given to needy men]?

⁶ But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.

⁷ Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;

⁸ for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not evermore have me.^[a]
