Here are the bible verses quoted in today's episode:
Bible Passage: John 12:1-6
"Six days before Passover Jesus went back to Bethany, where he had raised Lazarus from death.A meal had been prepared for Jesus. Martha was doing the serving, and Lazarus himself was there.
Mary took a very expensive bottle of perfume and poured it on Jesus' feet.
Apparently the bottle was worth 300 silver coins! It was perfume called nard, or spikenard, which I have some essential oil and it smells great, very earthy. My bottle is 15mL with a lid but Mary’s bottle was 350mL with no lid!
Mary wiped Jesus’ feet with her hair, and the sweet smell of the perfume filled the house.
A disciple named Judas Iscariot was there. He was the one who was going to betray Jesus, and he asked,“Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?” Judas did not really care about the poor. He asked this because he carried the moneybag and sometimes would steal from it.
Bible Passage: Matt 26:10-16
Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said:
“Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me. You will always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me. She has poured perfume on my body to prepare it for burial. You may be sure that wherever the good news is told all over the world, people will remember what she has done. And they will tell others.”
Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples. He went to the chief priests and asked, “How much will you give me if I help you arrest Jesus?” They paid Judas 30 silver coins, and from then on he started looking for a good chance to betray Jesus.
Bible Passage: John 12:9-11
A lot of people came when they heard that Jesus was there. They also wanted to see Lazarus, because Jesus had raised him from death.So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus. He was the reason that many of the people were turning from them and putting their faith in Jesus.
