Mary

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word.

but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.

The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.

Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
