Mark 14:3-5

3Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume over his head.

5“It could have been sold for a year’s wages and the money given to the poor!” So they scolded her harshly.
