John 12

Mary, Lazarus, and Martha host a dinner for Jesus. Mary anoints Jesus's feet with expensive perfume, an act that Judas Iscariot hypocritically criticizes as wasteful. Jesus defends Mary, saying she is preparing Him for burial. Jesus makes His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. Some Greeks ask to see Jesus. Jesus teaches that the Son of Man must be lifted up (crucified) to draw all people to Himself.
