mary of bethany

Luke Chapter 7:36

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

Luke Chapter 7:37

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

Luke Chapter 7:38

And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Luke Chapter 7:39

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

Luke Chapter 7:40

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

Luke Chapter 7:41

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

Luke Chapter 7:42

And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Luke Chapter 7:43

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Luke Chapter 7:44

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Luke Chapter 7:45

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Luke Chapter 7:46

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Luke Chapter 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Luke Chapter 7:48

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

Luke Chapter 7:49

And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

Luke Chapter 7:50

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Luke Chapter 10:38

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

Luke Chapter 10:39

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

Luke Chapter 10:40

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

Luke Chapter 10:41

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

Luke Chapter 10:42

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

John Chapter 11:1

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

John Chapter 11:2

It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

John Chapter 11:3

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

John Chapter 11:4

When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

John Chapter 11:5

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

John Chapter 11:6

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

John Chapter 11:7

Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

John Chapter 11:8

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

John Chapter 11:9

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

John Chapter 11:10

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

John Chapter 11:11

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

John Chapter 11:12

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

John Chapter 11:13

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

John Chapter 11:14

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

John Chapter 11:15

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

John Chapter 11:16

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

John Chapter 11:17

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

John Chapter 11:18

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

John Chapter 11:19

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

John Chapter 11:20

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

John Chapter 11:21

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

John Chapter 11:22

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

John Chapter 11:23

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

John Chapter 11:24

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John Chapter 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

John Chapter 11:26

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John Chapter 11:27

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

John Chapter 11:28

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

John Chapter 11:29

As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

John Chapter 11:30

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

John Chapter 11:31

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

John Chapter 11:32

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

John Chapter 11:33

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

John Chapter 11:34

And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

John Chapter 11:35

Jesus wept.

John Chapter 11:36

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

John Chapter 11:37

And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

John Chapter 11:38

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

John Chapter 11:39

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

John Chapter 11:40

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

John Chapter 11:41

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

John Chapter 11:42

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

John Chapter 11:43

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

John Chapter 11:44

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

John Chapter 11:45

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

John Chapter 11:46

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

John Chapter 11:47

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

John Chapter 11:48

If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

John Chapter 11:49

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

John Chapter 11:50

Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

John Chapter 11:51

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

John Chapter 11:52

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

John Chapter 11:53

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

John Chapter 11:54

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.

John Chapter 11:55

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

John Chapter 11:56

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?

John Chapter 11:57

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.

John Chapter 12:1

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

John Chapter 12:2

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

John Chapter 12:3

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.

John Chapter 12:4

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

John Chapter 12:5

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

John Chapter 12:6

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.

John Chapter 12:7

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

John Chapter 12:8

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
