John 12:3-5

31Mary then took a 2pound of very costly 3perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4But 4Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to 5betray Him, said,

5“Why was this perfume not sold for 6three hundred denarii and given to poor people?”
