Book of Common Prayer

I Solemnly Charge You To Proclaim The Word, For People Will Turn Away From The Truth

4 I solemnly-charge you in the sight of God and Christ Jesus, the One going-to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearance and His kingdom— ² proclaim the Word. Stand-at^[a] it in-season, out-of-season. Rebuke, warn, exhort^[b], with all patience and instruction. ³ For there will be a time when they will not bear-with healthy teaching, but while itching^[c] with respect to the hearing, they will heap-up teachers for themselves in accordance with their own desires. ⁴ And they will turn the hearing away from the truth and be turned-aside to myths. ⁵ But you, be sober in all things, suffer-hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill^[d] your ministry.

For The Time of My Departure Is Near. I Have Finished My Course

⁶ For I am already being poured-out^[e], and the time of my departure^[f] has stood-near^[g]. ⁷ I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth, the crown of righteousness is reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will render to me on that day— and not only to me, but also to all the ones having loved His appearance.

In Bethany At a Dinner For Jesus And Lazarus, Mary Anoints Jesus

12 Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover [Feast], came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² So they made a dinner for Him there. And Martha was serving. And Lazarus was one of the ones reclining-back [to eat] with Him. ³ Then Mary, having taken a pound of very-valuable genuine^[a] nard perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled from the aroma of the perfume. ⁴ But Judas the Iscariot— one of His disciples, the one going to hand Him over— says, ⁵ “For what reason was this perfume not sold for three-hundred denarii^[b] and given to poor ones?” ⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. And having the money-box, he was carrying^[c] the things being put there. ⁷ So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. It was^[d] in order that she might keep it for the day of My preparation-for-burial. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me”.
