   1) Mark 14:3-9, Matthew 26:6-13, John 12:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11,   
   Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-19, Luke 19:41-44, John 12:20-36   
      
   Mark 14:3-9   
      
   The Anointing at Bethany   
   Mt 26:6-13; Jn 12:1-8   
      
   3 (Mt 21:17; Lk 7:37-39) While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon   
   the leper, as He sat at supper, a ­woman came with an alabaster jar   
   of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured   
   the ointment on His head.   
   4 There were some with indignation within themselves, saying,   
   "Why was this ointment wasted?   
   5 (Jn 13:29) It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii   
   (A year's wages.) and given to the poor." And they grumbled against her.   
   6 Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done   
   a good work for Me.   
   7 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) You always have the poor with you, and whenever   
   you wish, you may do good to them. But you will not always have Me.   
   8 (2Co 8:12) She has done what she could. She has come beforehand   
   to anoint My body for burial.   
   9 (Mk 16:15) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel will be preached   
   throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of   
   as a memorial to her."   
      
   [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.   
   [4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said,   
   Why was this waste of the ointment made?   
   [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.   
   [6] And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a   
   good work on me.   
   [7] For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do   
   them good: but me ye have not always.   
   [8] She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to   
   the burying.   
   [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.   
      
   Matthew 26:6-13   
      
   The Anointing at Bethany   
   Mk 14:3-9; Jn 12:1-8   
      
   6 (Mt 21:17) When Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,   
   7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment   
   and poured it on His head as He sat at supper.   
   8 When His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "For what purpose   
   is this waste?   
   9 This ointment might have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."   
   10 When Jesus perceived it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman?   
   She has done a good work for Me.   
   11 (Dt 15:11; Mk 14:7) For you have the poor always with you,   
   but you do not always have Me.   
   12 In pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.   
   13 (Mt 24:14; Mk 14:9) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall   
   be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told   
   in memory of her."   
      
   [6] Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,   
   [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.   
   [8] But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what   
   purpose is this waste?   
   [9] For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.   
   [10] When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?   
   for she hath wrought a good work upon me.   
   [11] For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.   
   [12] For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my   
   burial.   
   [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.   
      
   John 12:1-11   
      
   John 12   
      
   The Anointing at Bethany   
   Mt 26:6-13; Mk 14:3-9   
   1 (Jn 11:55; Mt 21:17) Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany,   
   where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.   
   2 (Lk 10:38-42) They prepared a supper for Him there. Martha served,   
   but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.   
   3 (Jn 11:2; Lk 7:37-38) Then Mary took a pint   
   (Gk. a litra, or half a liter.) of very costly ointment made   
   from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet   
   with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.   
   4 (Mt 10:4) But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,   
   who would betray Him, said,   
   5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii   
   (About a year's wages.) and given to the poor?"   
   6 (Jn 13:29) He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because   
   he was a thief. And having the money box, he used to steal what was put in it.   
   7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of My   
   burial.   
   8 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) For you always have the poor with you,   
   but you do not always have Me."   
      
   [1] Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus   
   was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.   
   [2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of   
   them that sat at the table with him.   
   [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.   
   [4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which   
   should betray him,   
   [5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the   
   poor?   
   [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.   
   [7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she   
   kept this.   
   [8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.   
      
   The Plot Against Lazarus   
      
   9 When many of the Jews learned that He was there, they came, not for Jesus'   
   sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from   
   the dead.   
   10 (Lk 16:31) So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also,   
   11 (Jn 11:45; 12:18) because on account of him many of the Jews went away   
   and believed in Jesus.   
      
   [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.   
   [10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to   
   death;   
   [11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed   
   on Jesus.

   Mark 11   
      
   The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem   
   Mt 21:1-11; Lk 19:28-40; Jn 12:12-19   
      
   1 (Zec 14:4; Mt 21:17) When they drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage   
   and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples
