John 12:2-9

2So they prepared a dinner there for Yeshua. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

3Then Miriam took a pound of very expensive oil of pure nard and anointed Yeshua’s feet, and she wiped His feet dry with her hair. Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

4But Judah from Kriot, one of His disciples, the one who was about to betray Him, said,

5“Why wasn’t this oil sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

6Now he said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. Since he had the moneybox, he used to steal from what was put in it.

7Therefore Yeshua said, “Leave her alone! She set it aside for the day of My burial.

8You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me.”

9Now a large crowd of Judeans knew He was there and came, not only for Yeshua but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
