the alabaster box

Isaiah Chapter 10:27

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Matthew Chapter 25:1

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew Chapter 25:2

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Matthew Chapter 25:3

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Matthew Chapter 25:4

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:5

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Matthew Chapter 25:6

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Matthew Chapter 25:7

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:8

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Matthew Chapter 25:9

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Matthew Chapter 25:10

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Matthew Chapter 25:11

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Matthew Chapter 25:12

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Matthew Chapter 25:13

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew Chapter 25:14

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

Matthew Chapter 25:15

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

Matthew Chapter 25:16

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

Matthew Chapter 25:17

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

Matthew Chapter 25:18

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

Matthew Chapter 25:19

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

Matthew Chapter 25:20

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

Matthew Chapter 25:21

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew Chapter 25:22

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Matthew Chapter 25:23

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew Chapter 25:24

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

Matthew Chapter 25:25

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Matthew Chapter 25:26

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

Matthew Chapter 25:27

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Matthew Chapter 25:28

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

Matthew Chapter 25:29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Matthew Chapter 25:30

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 25:31

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Matthew Chapter 25:32

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Matthew Chapter 25:33

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Matthew Chapter 25:34

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew Chapter 25:35

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Matthew Chapter 25:36

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:37

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Matthew Chapter 25:38

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:39

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:41

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew Chapter 25:42

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Matthew Chapter 25:43

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Matthew Chapter 25:44

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:45

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Matthew Chapter 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew Chapter 26:6

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

Matthew Chapter 26:7

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

Matthew Chapter 26:8

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

Matthew Chapter 26:9

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

Matthew Chapter 26:10

When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

Matthew Chapter 26:11

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

Matthew Chapter 26:12

For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

Matthew Chapter 26:13

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

Mark Chapter 12:28

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

Mark Chapter 12:29

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mark Chapter 12:30

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mark Chapter 12:31

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Mark Chapter 14:3

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

Mark Chapter 14:4

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

Mark Chapter 14:5

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

Mark Chapter 14:6

And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

Mark Chapter 14:7

For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

Mark Chapter 14:8

She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

Mark Chapter 14:9

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

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 3:1

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

John Chapter 3:2

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

John Chapter 3:3

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John Chapter 3:4

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

John Chapter 3:5

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John Chapter 3:6

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John Chapter 3:7

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

John Chapter 3:8

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John Chapter 3:9

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

John Chapter 3:10

Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

John Chapter 3:11

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

John Chapter 3:12

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

John Chapter 3:13

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John Chapter 3:14

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

John Chapter 3:15

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John Chapter 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John Chapter 3:17

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John Chapter 3:18

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John Chapter 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John Chapter 3:20

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John Chapter 3:21

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John Chapter 3:22

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

John Chapter 3:23

And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

John Chapter 3:24

For John was not yet cast into prison.

John Chapter 3:25

Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

John Chapter 3:26

And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

John Chapter 3:27

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

John Chapter 3:28

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

John Chapter 3:29

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

John Chapter 3:30

He must increase, but I must decrease.

John Chapter 3:31

He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

John Chapter 3:32

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

John Chapter 3:33

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

John Chapter 3:34

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

John Chapter 3:35

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

John Chapter 3:36

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on 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.

John Chapter 12:9

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.

John Chapter 12:10

But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

John Chapter 12:11

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

John Chapter 12:12

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

John Chapter 12:13

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.

John Chapter 12:14

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

John Chapter 12:15

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

John Chapter 12:16

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.

John Chapter 12:17

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

John Chapter 12:18

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

John Chapter 12:19

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

John Chapter 12:20

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

John Chapter 12:21

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

John Chapter 12:22

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

John Chapter 12:23

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

John Chapter 12:24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

John Chapter 12:25

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

John Chapter 12:26

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

John Chapter 12:27

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

John Chapter 12:28

Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

John Chapter 12:29

The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

John Chapter 12:30

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

John Chapter 12:31

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

John Chapter 12:32

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

John Chapter 12:33

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

John Chapter 12:34

The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

John Chapter 12:35

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

John Chapter 12:36

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

John Chapter 12:37

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

John Chapter 12:38

That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

John Chapter 12:39

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

John Chapter 12:40

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

John Chapter 12:41

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

John Chapter 12:42

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

John Chapter 12:43

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John Chapter 12:44

Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

John Chapter 12:45

And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

John Chapter 12:46

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

John Chapter 12:47

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

John Chapter 12:48

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

John Chapter 12:49

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

John Chapter 12:50

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
