43:011:046 But some of them went their ways to the
Pharisees, and told
them
what things Jesus had done.
43:011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the
Pharisees a council,
and
said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
43:011:048 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.
43:011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being
the high priest that
same
year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
43:011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us,
that one man should
die
for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
43:011:051 And this spake he not of himself:
but being high priest that
year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
43:011:052 And not for that nation only, but that
also he should gather
together
in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad.
43:011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put
him
to death.
43:011:054 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.
43:011:055 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at
hand: and many went out of
the
country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
43:011:056 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?
43:011:057 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.
43:012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover
came to Bethany, where
Lazarus
was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
43:012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus
was
one of them that sat at the table with him.
43:012:003 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.
43:012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas
Iscariot, Simon’s son,
which
should betray him,
43:012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three
hundred pence, and
given
to the poor?
43:012:006 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.
43:012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against
the day of my burying
hath
she kept this.
