'Perfume' in the Bible

a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.

For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”

For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.

While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.

Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?”

and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives.
