und as to his
feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin.
Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.

6 [11:45]Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and saw what Jesus
did, believed on him; [11:46]but some of them went away to the
Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

7 [11:47]Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim,
and said, What do we accomplish? for this man performs many miracles.
[11:48]If we leave him thus all will believe on him; and the Romans
will come and take away our place and nation. [11:49]And one of them,
Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, You know nothing
at all, [11:50]neither consider that it is expedient for us that one
man should die for the people, and not that all the nation should
perish. [11:51]This he said not of himself, but being chief priest that
year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
[11:52]and not for the nation only, but to bring together into one
[body] all the children of God scattered abroad. [11:53]From that day,
therefore, they took counsel to kill him.

passover, to purify themselves. [11:56]Then they sought Jesus, and
standing in the temple said one to another, What do you think? that he
will not come to the feast? [11:57]And the chief priests and Pharisees
had given commandment, that if any one knew where he was he should make
it known, that they might take him by force.

CHAPTER XV.

CHRIST AT BETHANY, HIS TRIUMPHANT ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM, ETC.

1 [12:1]THEN Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead. [12:2]Then they
made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of
those that reclined with him. [12:3]Then Mary taking a pound of genuine
nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
[12:4]But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray
him, said, [12:5]Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
denarii [$42], and given to the poor? [12:6]But he said this, not that
he cared for the poor, but because
