"Do not judge by the outward appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

Therefore Jesus said, "For a little while longer I am going to be with you, and then I am going to Him who sent Me.

Now they were saying this to test Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

Now when they heard this, they began leaving, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman where she was, in the center of the courtyard.

"And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

"I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."

Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the One who is talking with you."

Those who were with Him from the Pharisees heard these things and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?"

"And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd.

And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Therefore Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let's also go, so that we may die with Him!"

Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw that Mary had gotten up quickly and left, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

Therefore when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

Out came the man who had died, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

So they made Him a dinner there, and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

"For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me."

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.
