1Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

3Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”
