Matthew 20:29-34, 26:6-13 | Mark 10:46-52, 14:3-9 | Luke 18:35-19:28 | John 11:55-12:11

In these passages Jesus is making His final journey from Galilee up to Jerusalem, and He goes through the city of Jericho before taking the road to Jerusalem from there.  While in Jericho He heals numerous blind men, and also meets up with Zacchaeus, who was a tax collector of short stature.  Zacchaeus becomes a believer, as does blind Bartamaus.

Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Jesus goes to Bethany, which is a nearby town where Mary and Martha and Lazarus live.  Jesus has dinner with a man named Simon, where an unnamed woman anoints the Lord’s feet with costly perfume, and this happens again in the house of Martha and Mary, where Mary also does the same thing - both of these were done in preparation for the Lord’s dead.
