John 12:1-6 ▼

1 Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised out from the dead.

2 Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him.

3 Therefore Mary, having taken a litra of fragrant oil of pure nard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, being about to betray Him, says,

5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

6 But he said this not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief; and having the money bag, he used to take up that being put into it.
