Mary

and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister--

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing--

and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying--`She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'

Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
