John 12 (NASB)
Mary Anoints Jesus
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before
the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the
dead. 2 So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but
Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. 3 Mary
then took a pound of very costly 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. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples,
who was intending to betray Him, *said, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold
for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?” 6 Now he
said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a
thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it. 7
Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My
burial. 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always
have Me.”
