1 NOW the passover and the feast of unleavened bread were but two days distant; and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might seize him by craft, and kill him. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be a commotion among the people. 3 And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of ointment, of genuine spikenard, of vast value: and breaking the vase, she let it flow down upon his head. 4 And there were some who felt indignation within themselves, saying, Wherefore is this waste of the ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they bitterly murmured against her. Mark 14:1-5, Haweis New Testament. Public domain.
