⁵³From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him. ⁵⁴Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples. ⁵⁵But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him.

Chapter 12

¹Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead man Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among the dead. ²There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him. ³Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
