1 And after two days was the pascha, and the unleavened loaves: and the chief priests and scribes sought how, having taken him by fraud, they might kill. 2 And they said, Not in the festival, lest there be an uproar of the people. 3 And he being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leprous, he reclining at table, a woman came having an alabaster box of perfumed oil of persuasive, costly, spikenard; and having broken the alabaster box, she poured upon his head. 4 And there were some displeased in themselves, and saying, For what has been the loss of this perfumed oil? 5 For this could have been sold for above three hundred drachmas, and have been given to the poor. And they raged against her. Mark 14:1-5, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
