And eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,

And standing behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with [her] tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed His feet [affectionately] and anointed them with the ointment (perfume).
Therefore, they will now go into exile with the first of the captives,
And the cultic revelry and banqueting of those who lounge around [on their luxurious couches] will pass away.
Then leaning back against Jesus’ chest, he (John) asked Him [privately], “Lord, who is it?”
