☆ Gospel: John 12:1-11
1
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.
2
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.
3
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.
4
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
5
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?
6
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)
7
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
8
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
9
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.
10
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;
11
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

☆ Isaiah 42:1-7
1
See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
2
He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
3
He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
4
His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
5
God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
6
I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
7
To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
