Gospel 3-25-24. John 12:1-9. Monday in Holy Week.
Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
Jesus ergo ante sex dies Paschae venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Jesus.
2 And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
Fecerunt autem ei coenam ibi, et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
3 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.
Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici pretiosi, et unxit pedes Jesu, et extersit pedes ejus capillis suis : et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus, Judas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus :
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
Quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea quae mittebantur, portabat.
7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Dixit ergo Jesus : Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturae meae servet illud.
8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum : me autem non semper habetis.
9 A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Judaeis quia illic est, et venerunt, non propter Jesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
