3 Then Mary having taken a pound of perfumed oil of spikenard, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs: and the house was filled with the smell of the perfumed oil. 4 Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, of Simon, being about to deliver him up, 5 Wherefore was not this perfumed oil sold for three hundred drachmas, and given to the poor? 6 And this he said, not that care was to him for the poor: but because he was a thief, and had the small coffer, and carried things deposited. 7 Then said Jesus, Let her go; for the day of my interment has she kept this. 8 For the poor have ye always with you; and me ye have not always.
