'Perfume' in the Bible

While Jesus was in Bethany sitting at the table in the home of Simon the leper, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

Irritated, some who were there asked one another, "Why was the perfume wasted like this?

This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute." So they got extremely angry with her.

She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.
