Him. Mary therefore
took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the
feet of Jesus and
wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with odor of the
ointment. Then one of His
disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray Him, said, Why was not
this ointment sold
for three hundred pence and given to the poor? Now he said this, not because he
cared for the
poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that
were put therein.
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my
burial. For the
poor you have always with you: but Me you have not always. A great multitude
therefore of the Jews
knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they
might see Lazarus,
whom He had raised from the dead.
