7 Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! She has kept this perfume for the day of my burial.
8 You will always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.”
9 A lot of people came when they heard that Jesus was there. They also wanted to see Lazarus, because Jesus had raised him from death.
10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus.
11 He was the reason that many of the people were turning from them and putting their faith in Jesus.
12 The next day a large crowd was in Jerusalem for Passover. When they heard that Jesus was coming for the festival,
13 they took palm branches and went out to greet him. They shouted,“Hooray!God bless the one who comesin the name of the Lord!God bless the Kingof Israel!”
