Bible Verses About Bethany

Now when Yeshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”

However, knowing this, Yeshua said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hoshia'na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hoshia'na in the highest!”

As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

She had a sister called Miriam, who also sat at Yeshua’s feet, and heard his word.

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
