Evangélium szent János könyvéből
!John 12:1-9.
Hat nappal húsvét előtt Jézus Betániába ment, ahol Lázár lakott, akit feltámasztott a halálból. Ott vacsorát rendeztek neki. Márta felszolgált és Lázár is a vendégek közt volt. És így tovább.

Homily by St Austin, Bishop (of Hippo.)
!50th Tract on John.
 There they made Him a supper and Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table lest men should deem that it was but by an ocular delusion that they had seen him arise from the dead. He lived therefore, spake, and ate; to the manifestation of the truth, and the confusion of the unbelieving Jews. Jesus, then, sat down to meat with Lazarus and others, and Martha, being one of Lazarus' sisters, served. But Mary, Lazarus' other sister, took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the Feet of Jesus, and wiped His Feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. We have now heard that which was done; let us search out the mystic meaning thereof.
