John 12:1-6 ▼

1 Therefore, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

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

3 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.

4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to betray Him, said,

5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?”

6 Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he kept the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it.
