3 And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor? 6 He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put in to it. 7 Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial. 8 For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.
