John 12:2-8

2SoG3767 they hostedG4160 a dinnerG1173 forG846 Jesus thereG1563. MarthaG3136 servedG1247, andG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 amongG1520G1537 thoseG3588 reclining at the tableG345 withG4862 HimG846. 3ThenG3767 MaryG3137 tookG2983 about a pintG30461 of expensiveG4186 perfumeG3464, made of pureG4101 nardG3487, and she anointedG218 JesusG2424’ feetG4228 andG2532 wipedG1591 them withG3588 herG846 hairG2359. AndG1161 theG3588 houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 theG3588 fragranceG3744 of theG3588 perfumeG3464.

4ButG1161 oneG1520 ofG1537 HisG846 disciplesG3101, JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, whoG3588 was goingG3195 to betrayG3860 HimG846, askedG3004, 5“WhyG1223G5101 wasn’tG3756 thisG3778 perfumeG3464 soldG4097 for three hundredG5145 denariiG12202 andG2532 the money givenG1325 to the poorG4434?” 6Judas did not sayG2036G3756 thisG3778 becauseG3754 heG846 caredG3199 aboutG4012 theG3588 poorG4434, butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG1510 a thiefG2812. As keeperG2192 of theG3588 money bagG1101, he used to takeG941 from whatG3588 was put intoG906 it.

7“Leave her aloneG863G846,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “She has keptG5083 this perfume in preparationG2443 forG1519 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG3588 MyG1473 burialG1780. 8TheG3588 poorG4434 you will always haveG2192G3842 withG3326 youG1438,3 butG1161 you will notG3756 alwaysG3842 haveG2192 MeG1473.”
