Mary Anoints Jesus' Feet

12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, [fn]who had died and whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4 Then [fn]one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him, said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” 6 (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.) 7 So Jesus said, “Leave her [fn]alone; she has kept this ointment for the day of my burial. 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
