John 12:1-8 - Jesus Is Anointed At Bethany

¹ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead. ² So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him. ³ Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

⁴ ButJudas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith - ⁵ Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute? ⁶ Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.

⁷ Jesus, therefore, said - Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it; ⁸ For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
