John 12:1-8 - Jesus Is Anointed At Bethany
1 THEN Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Then they made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those that reclined with him. 3 Then Mary taking a pound of genuine nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii [$42], and given to the poor? 6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it.
7 Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial; 8 the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
