John 12:1-6 ▼

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

2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

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