12 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

12 1SIX DAYS BEFORE the Passover festival Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived whom he had raised from the dead.The Anointing at Bethany Jn.12.1-8 (Bethany) | Mt.26.6-13 | Mk.14.3-9Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς πρὸ ἓξ ἡμερῶν τοῦ πάσχα ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν, ὁπου ἦν Λάζαρος, ὃν ἠγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν Ἰησοῦς.
2There a supper was given in his honour, at which Martha served, and Lazarus sat among the guests with Jesus. ἐποίησαν οὖν αὐτῷ δεῖπνον ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει, ὁ δὲ Λάζαρος εἷς ἦν ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ.
3Then Mary brought a pound of very costly perfume, pure oil of nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped them with her hair, till the house was filled with the fragrance. ἡ οὖν Μαριὰμ λαβοῦσα λίτραν μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτίμου ἠλειψεν τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐξέμαξεν ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀ σμῆς τοῦ μύρου.
4At this, Judas Iscariot, a disciple of his—the one who was to betray him—said, λέγει δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι,
5'Why was this perfume not sold for thirty pounds Literally 300 denarii. and given to the poor?' Διὰ τί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς;
6He said this, not out of any care for the poor, but because he was a thief; he used to pilfer the money put into the common purse, which was in his charge. εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἐμελεν αὐτῷ ἀλλ' ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἐχων τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν.
7'Leave her alone', said Jesus. 'Let her keep it till the day when a she prepares for my burial, εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἄφες αὐτήν, ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου τηρήσῃ αὐτό·
8for you have the poor among you always, but you will not always have me.' Some witnesses omit: for you have ... have me.
 τοὺς πτωχοὺς γὰρ πάντοτε ἐχετε μεθ' ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἐχετε.
