  • John 12:1-8 : 1 So Jesus came to Bethany six days before the Passover, where Lazarus was—the one who had died and whom He had raised from the dead. 2 There they prepared a dinner for Him. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of pure, expensive nard perfume, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples (the one who was about to betray Him), said, 5 "Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" 6 He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the money box and would steal from what was put into it. 7 Jesus replied, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of My burial preparation." 8 "For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have Me."
