John 12:3-7

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: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,

5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?

6Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.

7Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
