Mary

And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word.

But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and of Martha her sister.

(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come and calleth for thee.

The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.

When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet and saith to him. Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.

Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
